Problem running silent install

[etmarx]

Hi,

I am trying to run a silent installation of my product. I created a setup.iss successfully but when I run it using setup.exe -s a log is created with but my product is not installed. It finishes in about 1 second.

log:
[InstallShield Silent]
Version=v7.00
File=Log File
[ResponseResult]
ResultCode=0

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Since I don't have an error in the log I'm not sure how to find the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You have to specify response file for your install.

First from command line run something like this

C:\YourSetup.exe -r -f1"C:\YourResponseFile.iss"

Then to run it silently:

C:\YourSetup.exe -s -f1"C:\YourResponseFile.iss"


I use full path to YourSetup.exe and YourResponseFile.iss files

I am actually doing this already. I have the setup.iss in the same directory as the setup.exe and I have tried with -f1"dir/setup.iss" and without.

It is finding my setup.iss file because the log is being created. It just doesn't seem to be doing anything with it 😞

Thanks for the tip though.

Could be that you already have your app installed, then your dialogs are different and response file should be different. Try to check in add/remove programs if the app is already installed.
