For a Basic MSI project, you should be able to select Media Type "Network Image", Release Configuration "Compress all files", and leave "Create installation launcher (setup.exe)" unselected.

can you help me?
thanks in advance,and excuse me for my english if i don't write well...

You can build an InstallScript MSI project as a single MSI, without setup.exe, with the InstallScript User Interface Type setting, shown in the following picture, set to New Style. I forget which InstallShield version introduced it, so it may not be present in InstallShield 2010.
There's also the technique described in KB article Q108166, but it's less attractive.

Hmm, that setting is described in the InstallShield 2009 documentation, so it seems it should be in your version. If you search your version's documentation for "embedded UI", does anything turn up?

I'm afraid I don't have a copy of InstallShield 2010 nearby. Perhaps you could post a screenshot of the General Information view for your InstallScript MSI project?

What version of InstallShield are you upgrading the project from? I don't have firsthand experience with upgrading earlier InstallScript MSI projects to show this setting, but the InstallShield documentation section Getting Started > Upgrading from Earlier InstallShield Versions might have some information on the topic.

The bottom of the help topic "Upgrading InstallShield 11.5 or Earlier InstallScript MSI Projects" seems to have some information about deploying without setup.exe (but as I say, I haven't tried the conversion myself).
If you re-convert the original old project to the new InstallShield version, you might check if the log shows any information or warnings related to the UI style.
