Silent installation not working
When I run my installation as a regualr installation all runs good without any errors or message boxes.
When I run in silent installation using the follwoing command line:
setup.exe /s /v"/qn /L*v c:\log.txt"
The installation doesn't install at all while it previously installed this way and I don't know what changed excatly.
Attached is the log file.
I'd appreciate any help on this.
Thanks
Shahar

Have you tried using a default setup.rul in your project to see if this behavior still occurs? is this issue specific to any one machine?

Shahar,
I looked through the log and there are no obvious errors. I am sure you have done the google searches. The only thing I came up with was a similar instance like yours:
http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/tm.asp?m=31522&mpage=1&key=笢

-> it is a small app, so have not spent too much time on it. turned out that issue may have been policy/permission related & company had a work around. laying to rest now as it has successfully deployed in testing.

Are there some CustomActions executed only in the user sequence and not in the execute sequence which e.g. are doing some stuff needed in the execute sequence?

This appears to be a traditional InstallScript MSI project based on the attached log. In order to run this type of project silently, you must first create a response file by running setup.exe /r. The response file (setup.iss) then needs to be placed in the same folder as setup.exe (or its path must be specified with /f1) and then the setup can be launched silently with setup.exe /s.
Note that the silent command line specified in the original post only applies to Basic MSI projects.
