Software Deployment

Hi Wildhair,

Yes... you are right, but I am having problems with the installation not removal!!!

BTW - thanks for the very helpful entry.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to silently install Microstrategy 8.01 and having a similar problem to QuietLeni. I successfully created a setup.iss file using command:

setup.exe /r

BUT when I try to silently run the setup and setup.iss file using:
setup.exe /s setup.iss
the installation looks like it's doing something for about half a minute and then quits without making any changes.

The setup.log file however says it's installed successfully.

Here's what my setup.iss file looks like:

[InstallShield Silent]
