WFWI.EXE Command Line Option Example

The following example shows how to compile an installation from the command line.
"path\WFWI.EXE" C:\Installers\MyApp.wsi /c /s /p CURRENT_FILES="E:\Test
Development" /o C:\MyAppInstaller.msi
The preceding command line does the following:

Sets it to compile (/c)
Sets all error messages to be suppressed (/s)
Sets the property CURRENT_FILES (/p CURRENT_FILES="E:\Test Development")
Sets the output location (/o C:\MyAppInstaller.msi)
If you set multiple properties, separate the property value pairs with spaces. Enclose the
values with double quotes.

an absolute path. The path must
