More information... If I pass "/?" on XP or Win7, I get "ignored" as the command line argument. If I pass obvious variables (i.e. INSTALLDIR=<path>), then those arguments are passed through along with the "ignored" string. The Command.CommandLine = "ignored INSTALLDIR=<path>", so I could hard-code that if we are running on 64-bit, just always ignore the "ignored" string, but that would prevent distinguishing between no command line argument and the '/?' argument.

Using Model.Command.CommandLine, I now get my command line arguments great, except that on Windows 7, when I start the Bootstrap application, I always get "ignored" as an argument, even when none are passed?!? XP works fine, but Windows 7 (x64 or x32) always have the "ignored" argument when double-clicking the bootstrap executable. Any ideas? I am running with 3.6.3025.
