Passing Command Line Options to Installer Custom Actions

I have created an Installer using the "Setup Wizard" in Visual Studio.
I've added a custom action to this as a seperate DLL written in C#.

Everything is working and going well.

But now I want to add a "quite" mode that does not dislay any of the
UI. I can hide the automatically created UI by calling my .msi as
follows:

msiexec /passive /i Hamsters.msi

But how can I detect this "/passive" (or any other command line options
for that matter) from within my custom action?

Thanks
Kevin

My main project is a band object (Explorer Bar) in an assembly (.DLL) that needs to be registered on installation and unregisted on uninstallation. In addition, during installation, Setup creates registry subkeys, sets registry values, installs...

Hi, I have a solution I have written in VB.net. It consist of 2 projects. One of the projects is the setup application for the installer.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
