For installshield you have to first record the installation that you want with the /r switch.

For my example I'll a monitoring agent I use on my servers called eGagent. It has a setup.exe. I open a command line window and navigate to the directory with the agent and use the following to start the process of recording the iss file.

example:

setup.exe -r -f1"c:\eG\eGsetup.iss"

This will launch the setup application and you select the options you want and they get recorded to, in my case, c:\eG\eGsetup.iss and record a log file in case I messed up.

Then if you want to silently install the application you use

example:

setup.exe -s -f1"c:\eG\eGsetup.iss"


That's it.

Hope it works out. :thumbup

Yes man! that worked fine!. I ended up with this line :

start /wait %systemdrive%Htfireman\Htfireman.exe /s /f1"%systemdrive%\Htfireman\Htfireman.iss" /f

Just as a TEST and the application installed no problems :thumbup

Perfect.

There are some other switches with install shield but I find they are kinda pointless unless I'm debugging one of my own Install shield compiles.

/r and /s are our friends. :)
