I have a FAH installer, that makes the fah client run as a service. It was made with installsheild. for some reason the -R switch doesn't create an .iss file in c:\windows. I know the person who made the installer, so i know its installshield.

is it possible that the problem is somewhere in how he put it together?

well for simplicity's sake i create a shortcut to the installer at add -R to the target path. so it looks like this

C:\Install\Applications\Fah\foldingsetup.exe -R

(when add quotes and click ok, and go back into shortcut properties the quotes are removed)

anyway, the result is the same

i think, the devoloper has the option of allowing switches (not 100% sure, maybe someone can clarify) so they may have left that -R out, in that case, try installrite
