Silent Installation
In Installshield 2008 installscripting, Is there a way I could get any return value of my silent install? If there's none, what can you suggest in order to receive notification of the output/result of my Silent installation. Also can you give some of the best practices when using Silent install?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Perhaps check the return code in the setup.log file generated when you perform a silent InstallScript installation? You can control the location of setup.log using the /f2 switch to setup.exe.

Hi Robert,
>> Perhaps check the return code in the setup.log file generated when you >> perform a silent InstallScript installation? You can control the location of >> setup.log using the /f2 switch to setup.exe.
Do we have any mechanism to check the return code of Setup.exe (executed in silent mode) other than LOG file.
===>> YES WE HAVE. Refer the section in IS HELP "Setup.exe Return Values and Run-Time Errors (Basic MSI and InstallScript MSI Projects)
"
====>You can capture the return values when you call the CreateProcess API to launch Setup.exe, or use a batch file to launch Setup.exe. <=====
So, to achieve above do we need to code anything as we are using BASIC MSI installation?
