Setup.iss only accounting for primary installed component

Hello

I was able to use the setup.exe -r to record and create a setup.iss file. Unfortunately when trying to use it, it installs the main software component but does not install 4 peripheral components. During the install these extra components kick off without extra user input, which I believe is the issue. Not sure what the best strategy from here would be on this.

Thank you in advance!

If you are encountering issues with the installation of peripheral components when using the setup.iss file created with the setup.exe -r recording method, there are a few potential strategies you can try:

Verify the inclusion of peripheral components: Open the setup.iss file in a text editor and check if the necessary commands and parameters for installing the peripheral components are present. Ensure that the installation settings for the peripheral components are correctly captured in the setup.iss file during the recording process.

Manually modify the setup.iss file: If the peripheral components are not included or properly configured in the setup.iss file, you can manually edit the file to add the necessary commands for installing the peripheral components. Refer to the documentation or instructions provided by the software vendor for the correct command syntax and parameters.

Use a silent installation method: If the peripheral components are expected to install without requiring additional user input, you may need to use a silent installation method. Check the software's documentation or contact the software vendor to determine the appropriate command-line options or parameters for performing a silent installation of the peripheral components.

Contact the software vendor or support: If you have followed the above steps and are still experiencing difficulties, it may be beneficial to reach out to the software vendor's support team for assistance. They can provide guidance specific to the software package and help troubleshoot the installation issue.                                                                 

Remember to make backups of any configuration files before making modifications, and always refer to the software's documentation or seek support from the software vendor for accurate and specific instructions tailored to your software package and installation requirements.
