    Hi,

    Is it possible to put that commandline:

    Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path "$Var_SourceFiles\$($Itemvar_Setup_Parameter[0])" -transform $Itemvar_Setup_Parameter[1] `
												-Parameters $Itemvar_Setup_Parameter[2]`
												-LogName "$var_PackageLongName"

    in a single variable and then just run the variable instead of writing the whole command line?

    Thanks,

    You can put in a script file and call the script.

    .\myscript.ps1

    You canput it in a variable like this:

    $sb=[scriptblock]::Create('Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path $Var_SourceFiles\$Itemvar_Setup_Parameter[0] -transform $Itemvar_Setup_Parameter[1] -Parameters $Itemvar_Setup_Parameter[2] -LogName $var_PackageLongName')
$sb.Invoke()

    You cannot pu tit in a variable and run it except.

    Your command also leaves a lot to be desired in a PowerShell session.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
