pulling /?-help strings from MS installer exes

Post by *Molecule »

would it be hard for a noob to setup a content plugin so it could read the help strings /? in installers? I have a large batch of MS installers and want the /? switch string values ... one by one, they return different strings in a popup message box

I think the only way to get such string - is to copy popup message text. You may use some script that will execute installer with /? switch, copy text (maybe into a file) and close message box. You may execute script for all installers then. But I don't think content plugin is good for such task because for every installer popup message will blink.
