Installation: InstallShield silent

Post by Richard_Howarth_(Guest) » Tue May 10, 2005 5:55 am

I^m attempting to create a silent install of Report Writer 10 .____There seems to be a missing section in the ISS files pertaining to the dialogue which prompts for serial number and user/company name for the registration.____If I try to record a new ISS file (setup -r) the setup process does not prompt for a serial number and just chokes with an "invalid serial number" message popup.____Has anyone managed to sucessfully create a silent install?

You should be able to do a silent install using the command line:____SETUP.EXE -LIC xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx -F1c:myinstallmyinstall.iss____where the -LIC argument has your 16 digit serial number. The -F1 argument is the path/name of the iss file. You can use the ISS that is on the R&R CD and then customize it as necessary.______Kathleen__R&R Support
