Hello

Is it possible to use the value of an extended property as part of an
argument in a RunOnce resource?
I'm trying to make my own Static IP component and I would like to have
the IP, netmask, gateway and connectionname as extended properties. The
values would then be copied (At build time?) to the Arguments string of
the netsh.exe RunOnce request.
 
Petter,

There is no *easy* way to do what you want with XPe ToolKit.

However, it is possible and even has been done by some of us here (for instance, see XPeTools package on www.xpefiles.com) with CMI
custom script assigned to your custom component.

However, to implement such it will require from you some knowledge in CMI area. This is undocumented interface of XPe Tools and you
will unlikely find any good reference to it on MSDN.

Although you can search this NG archive. I posted a few CMI scripts a while ago. Also, Microsoft QFEs will expose thier CMI scripts
to you too.
