Re: [WiX-users] how to suppress the batch file dos prompt in wix?

Brian Bakkebo Sat, 25 Apr 2009 06:52:44 -0700

Just worse after I see what your batch files says changeregbat.  if you are
changing registry entries you can do it through wix very simply plus you get
the rollback.
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/write_a_registry_entry.htm
If you want to do alot of registry entries based on multiple files, consider
looking at heat..



Obviously problem is here: Error 0x80070057: failed to get Command Line
Take a look at this:
http://osdir.com/ml/windows.devel.wix.user/2005-02/msg00204.html
and this:
http://n2.nabble.com/QtExecDeferred-error-about-quoted-application-name-td2417178.html
Maybe it will help...


Med vennlig hilsen /Regards
