How do you find command line arguments for a executable in Windows?

[nervegrind3r]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but google wasn't much help on this.

Basically, if you go to a command prompt and type a Windows command (eg ipconfig) followed by "/?" you get a list of arguments for that command.

I want to know if there is a way to do the same with an executable for a networked program. We are trying to deploy a client install in a Windows XP environment. The main application is on a mapped drive, and installs to each workstation. We are trying to avoid going to each individual workstation and double click on "client install.exe" .There is no msi package for the program either. If there a way to do this with, or a program that can check this?

Thanks in advance!!

You're asking if the program supports some sort of help feature from the command line? There is no way to check as there isn't a standard way that windows does this, each console application is responisble for managing it's own command line parameters. If it happens to support -? or -h great, but nothing requires it.

As bsobel said, that's really just documentation and how good it is or whether it exists at all depends on the developer.
