Argument
filename
The filename for .winmd output file. When expanded, the fully qualified filename must not exceed MAX_PATH (260 characters).
Remarks

If multiple values are listed on the /WINMDFILE command line, the last one takes precedence. The resulting name when combined with .winmd must not exceed MAX_PATH (260 characters).
