I don't know why does not using -s for unatended mode.

Ryan-
If you are going to use the -s switch you need to have an answer file for the silent install to complete. You would generate this by running' setup -r' and installing the software. This will create a file called 'setup.iss' in the c:\windows directory. If you run just setup.exe -s the setup.iss needs to be in the same directory as the setup.exe. You can also point to the .iss file
setup.exe -s -f1"c:\somename\setup.iss" -f2"c:\tmp\logfile.log"
with f1 pointing to the iss file and f2 creating a log file for the installation.
Setup.exe and Update.exe Command-Line Parameters
Hope this helps-

Hi fai_76,
Foleymon is right about the use of answer file to common legacy installers. However, in this case I tried using the command line that you provided (without creating a response file - r switch) and it installs fine and just extracts the file to the default location.
I guessed you just need to quote the path of your setup.exe if it exceeds 8 characters long.
Ex. "C:\Application\setup.exe" -s
Hope this help too..[:D]
