Arguments Property (Shortcut)

See Also   Tasks      

Specifies the command-line arguments for the shortcut. For example, you could enter a file name here so when the program invoked by the shortcut starts, it opens that file.

Remarks

This property is a Microsoft^® Windows^® installer formatted field. This means you can enter both:

• Literal values (such as a file name).
  
  
• Variable text strings processed at run time to resolve embedded property names, table keys, environment variable references, and other special substrings.

You must enter variable text strings according to the conventions for Windows installer formatted fields.

For more information about Windows installer formatted fields and conventions for entering values into them, search in the MSDN™ Library under the topics, Platform SDK, Setup and Systems Management Services, Setup, and Windows Installer Programmer's Reference, for any of these terms:

• "Formatted data" (use the quotes).
  
  
• "Property reference" (use the quotes).
