Software Deployment

Also you can check the setup.ini file, in some cases there are options in there to suppress certain dialogs.

Hi,

You can try to pass those value thru the command line when you are generationg the .iss file.

Thanks. Is there any documentation that describes how to pass values through the command line to the iss file, or what to enter in setup.ini files that are recognized by the setup process. i.e. are there any syntax standards to follow and where can documentation be found?

Try teh following
setup.exe /s /v"/qn PROPERTY=value" /f1:"responsefile" /f2:"logfile"

The /v switch passes the arguments to the MSI

There are plenty of command line tips, here are some i found.

hi everybody :)

hi everybody,

There may not be a solution to this case, as there is no Installshield requirement for installation developers to allow for a fully silent installation. If dialogs are being created by custom actions rather than by using standard dialog tools, then the ISS file will not be able to handle them.  In that case you may be able to solve the issue with AutoIT or by spawning a custom action of your own (asynchronous, no wait) that looks for the dialog window and passes an appropriate command to it.  I've seen code examples to do this on ITNinja so just search around. In fact I just found your question in the thread http://www.itninja.com/question/installshield-response-file-one-dialogue-box-still-pops-up-during-silent-install?source=itn_email&campaign=digest&medium=daily&content=question_detail where rvlieberg has provided you with sample code.
