Silent InstallScript MSI major upgrade with a Basic MSI

I have a new Basic MSI project that I wrote to replace my old InstallScript MSI project. I found the article - Q112578: HOWTO: Perform Major Upgrade of InstallScript MSI Project with Basic MSI. This seems to work, but I want to run it silently using msiexec /q. So I created a setup response file for the uninstallation of the old project. I then put it into my support files and used this command line in my custom action - "[ProgramFilesFolder]InstallShield Installation Information\{E440425F-5A88-48E8-A38C-52163B3324BC}\setup.exe" /s /f1"[SUPPORTDIR]\setup.iss". The install is getting an error when I run it - Action start 10:11:42: UpgradeOldSetup.
CustomAction UpgradeOldSetup returned actual error code -3 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Error 1722.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action UpgradeOldSetup, location: C:\Users\jeffm\AppData\Local\Temp\, command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{E440425F-5A88-48E8-A38C-52163B3324BC}\setup.exe" /s /f1"C:\Users\jeffm\AppData\Local\Temp\{6553F603-4DC2-4724-9EA5-E309592438A4}\setup.iss"
Action ended 10:12:47: UpgradeOldSetup. Return value 3.

I have attached my log file too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I figured this out, needed to run with a user interface. Ended up using /qr and it works.:)
