Silent Install
I downloaded a trial version of Installshield 2008 and i'm very impressed. However when i tried to create my software package i still have to press next a couple of times and then finish on the dialog box.
My organisation wants to use software packages that require minimum or no input from the end user. Is there a quick way to create or change an MSI package so the the next and finish buttons are automated, and the install runs on its own?
Thanks

you can use the command line option to make the msi installer silent.
msiexec /Option [Optional Parameter]
For silent installation use,
msiexec /i /qn
For more information, take a look at the command line options of msiexec. For this you just type msiexec at command prompt. it will display all options.

If you want limited or no dialogs, you might also look into editing the Dialog sequence, or even applying the LIMITUI property to your package. (Assuming it's a Basic MSI; InstallScript and InstallScript MSI would instead need their OnFirstUIBefore method modified.)
