Unknown. Generally yes, but you're going outside the scope of what's documented to work and there are cases where it's known to not work. > Assuming it is safe, I need to run it in a build environment that treats > warnings as errors.

There's no way to tell ICE03 to report everything but a certain class of errors. And there's no way to tell it to check for an additional class of errors (>8191). So, don't pass ultra-long command lines. Better yet, don't use EXE custom actions at all: http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2007/10/24/exe-custom-actions-are-bad.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/windows_installer_team/archive/2007/10/20/integration-hurdles-for-exe-custom-actions.aspx -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
