You would have to use some custom command line paramter and in your script makje sure you don't display any dialogs.

With a BasicMSI project you could use the -qb or -qr switch, but not in InstallScript MSI

Thankyou!!
now I have another question.
in command line I input "setup -s" , it will run in silent mode and a setup.log file will
come up in the same directory as the setup.exe. Now how to disable the setup.log file to make it disappeared in the directory?? waitting online!!

You can't turn of the .log. But using the /f2 parameter you can specify it's name and directory, so you could create it somewhere else.

why do I cannot turn off the .log?? when does the .log file be created ??
Thanks !

The log creating function is built into the installscript engine, and it doesn't have a parameter to turn it off.
