ResultCode -3 trying to run in silent mode
I have an InstallScript project that I am trying to run in silent mode but no matter what I do, I always get a ResultCode -3.
I tried simply running Setup.exe /r and recording my input, then running the installer with the recorded Setup.iss file and I get ResultCode-3 every time.
There are no custom dialogs in the installer, it is a pretty straight forward install. It does have a SQL Server dialog (the built in InstallShield dialog) but nothing special.
Anyone have any ideas???

I had the same issue and never could get it working. Do any of the dialogs launch another window per chance? Like an browse window, etc.

During recording I do open a browse window to change the InstallDir. The only other dialogs are dialogs that are launched via a separate exe and do not require any input (just status dialogs).

Try it without changing the install dir by just taking the default and see if it fails still.

Trying it without changing the install directory worked! Sorry it took so long to respond but I had to change the installer some to get this to work.
So it seems like a BUG that if you change the target directory when recording your iss file, it does not work.
Thanks for the suggestion.
