Passing Multiple Parameters to CustomActionData of VB.Net

Question

This is a question on Custom Actions in VB.Net.

I need to pass two Keys; the [TARGETDIR] and [OriginalDatabase] to example.dll in custom Actions.

I searched and found the general syntax as /name1=value1 /name2=value2 etc (i.e each name/value pair should be seperated by a space.

/InstallDir="[TARGETDIR]\" is working for me but when I want to pass both the parameters

/InstallDir="[TARGETDIR]\" /SourceDir="[OriginalDatabase]\" is not working. I found a similar request without a proper answer.

I would be so grateful if I could know the way to pass both these values together in CustomActionData property.

Please share the details of any errors you are getting. – Ravi Y Apr 04 '13 at 07:22 — Ravi Y, Apr 04 '13 at 07:22

I think you should need combine method from MSDN, here the question

Combine(String, String)

Also, it said that, if your value have space in it, then must have quotation, but your string not have space, so don't need to put quotation

 /name1=value1 /name2=value2
