it looks like a Installshield Application

To silently install a package that uses InstallShield, you will have to first create a setup.iss file on a working operating system. Use a test PC if you can.

1. Start the setup application using the -R switch (Use Command Prompt)

e.g.
Setup.exe -R

2. The normal setup screens will appear, asking you questions as you go along such as destination directory, etc. It's CRUCIAL that you do not choose the "Restart the computer now" option. If you do, you will terminate your batch when you run an unattended installation.

3. After installation has completed, go to your C:\Windows (or C:\WINNT) directory and take out the setup.iss file. Put this setup.iss file in the same directory where your application setup files reside.

4. Start the Silent installation using:

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Application\codeguide61\Setup.exe -s -f1"%systemdrive%\install\Applications\codeguide61\setup.iss"

The above line is one whole line, there should be no line breaks when used.

5. Repeat the steps for other setup applications that uses Installshield.

How do I identify an Installshield package?

Most of them can be extracted, I use Winrar to do the job, the Properties box of Setup.exe would have "InstallShield ® Setup Launcher" or something similar. And lastly, if you see an example setup.iss file in the directory, then its definitely Installshield!

I tried it and it installed sillent.
