My action looks like:
Many thanks,

My action looks like:
__declspec(dllexport) HRESULT __stdcall MyCustomAction(IDispatch *pDispSuiteUIExtension)
{
CComQIPtrspSuiteUIExtenstion = pDispSuiteUIExtension;
//Need this code to be executed in silent mode at the start of the installation process.
}
Many thanks,

UI actions which provide the ISuiteUIExtension interface are not currently available in silent installations. Starting with InstallShield 2013, you can schedule DLL Actions in events such as OnBegin. These are run by the non-UI portion of the suite, and have access to the ISuiteExtension interface.

Thank you for your reply. I only needed ISuiteExtension so I added hidden feature with custom detection as described here:

I hope it will work fine.
