My company is using Installshield Multiplatform 11.5 Professional for packaging purpose.

When i'm doing Silent Install the Install type is not taken properly (Typical or custom). It is performing the typical installation and not custom installation even if i mention in the response file to install custom type(-W setupTypes.selectedSetupTypeId=custom).

Typical install type is the default installation type in the project, if i change the default install type to custom then custom installation is taking place and not the typical installation.

Sequence part of my project (Install type) is like this.

<wizardBean class="com.installshield.product.wizardbeans.SetupTypePanel" id="setupTypes">
<property name="displayName">Setup Types</property>
<property name="active">True</property>
<property name="buildCategories"/>
<property name="comments"/>
<property name="conditionOperator">AND</property>
<property name="conditionSet"/>
<property name="bidirectional">True</property>
<property name="title"/>
<property name="description">Select Installation Type</property>
<property name="navigationOptions">0</property>
<property name="htmlHelpResource"/>
<property name="helpString"/>
<property array="True" length="2" name="setupTypes" type="com.installshield.product.wizardbeans.SetupType">
<arrayItem type="com.installshield.product.wizardbeans.SetupType">
<property name="description">Product will be installed with the recommended configuration.
A Typical Installation Includes:
- Client
- Report Client</property>
<property name="displayName">$L(com.installshield.product.i18n.ProductResources, SetupTypePanel.typicalDisplayName)</property>
<property array="True" length="2" name="features" type="string">
<arrayItem>Client</arrayItem>
<arrayItem>ServerUpgrade</arrayItem>
</property>
<property name="id">typical</property>
</arrayItem>
<arrayItem type="com.installshield.product.wizardbeans.SetupType">
<property name="description">Product will be installed with the components that you choose.
A Custom Installation Can Include:
- Client
- Report Client
- Server and API
- Sample Graphics
- Sample Data
- ModelDoc </property>
<property name="displayName">$L(com.installshield.product.i18n.ProductResources, SetupTypePanel.customDisplayName)</property>
<property array="True" length="4" name="features" type="string">
<arrayItem>Client</arrayItem>
<arrayItem>Server</arrayItem>
<arrayItem>SampleGraphics</arrayItem>
<arrayItem>SampleData</arrayItem>
</property>
<property name="id">custom</property>
</arrayItem>
</property>
<property name="selectedSetupTypeId">typical</property>
</wizardBean>


Way in which i Invoked silent installation is
a. EXEname -options <fullpath\responsefile> -silent
b. EXEname -silent -options <fullpath\responsefile>

Please suggestion to overcome the problem.
