When I execute 'setup.exe /s /f1"C:\Temp\setup.iss" /f2"C:\Temp\setup.log"' command; I get following in the log file.

[InstallShield Silent]

File=Log File
[ResponseResult]
ResultCode=-3

I have already gone through all sort online threads related to this and none helped to resolve the issue.

Can somebody please help me to find out what wrong I am doing here?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Milind

This issue arise because of custom dialog field doesn't have proper input,
Do installscript logging and then check the log.
