Execute batchFile with command line argurment in silentmode

Question

I want to execute my batchfile which takes 3 cmd line arguments in which it should execute silent mode[should not see the console].Below is my wix code:

    <CustomAction Id="ScrptsMngr" Property= "PrptyScrptsMngr"
              Value="&quot;[#filC22B3172A663C01F17B8CE4D55CB7DE2]&quot; [ARG1] [ARG2] [ARG3]" Execute="immediate"/>
               <CustomAction Id="PrptyScrptsMngr" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="deferred" Return="asyncWait" Impersonate="yes"/>

The above customaction action doesn't work for me. It always throws an error as CAQuietExec execution failed. Is my custom action is correct

Try adding " (") for each ARG1/2/3 and try. Also make sure you have set the 'PrptyScrptsMngr' call after 'ScrptsMngr' in product.wxs seqeunce

<CustomAction Id="QtCmdLineRmDummies" Property="QtExecCmdLine"Value="&quot;[SystemFolder]cmd.exe&quot; /c del /Q &quot;[INSTALLLOCATION]\dummy*.*&quot;" />
<CustomAction Id="QtCmdRmDummies" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="ignore" />

In product.wxs

<Custom Action="QtCmdLineRmDummies" After="InstallFinalize">NOT INSTALLED AND NOT REMOVE</Custom>
<Custom Action="QtCmdRmDummies" After="QtCmdLineRmDummies">NOT INSTALLED AND NOT REMOVE</Custom>

It doesn't works for me. May be i missed something. Here's is batch file content which takes 3 args and pass it to another batch file. – harocool Sep 17 '12 at 06:19
