Hi all,

I have problem with my setup.exe while running in the silent mode,

while building the setup.exe i kept some files(vc-redistributable) in supportdir,
while running this setup.exe in silent mode with command line options(setup.exe /s /v/qn),
setup.exe is downloaded the vc-redistributable to temp folder and before running vc-redistributable it is deleting the vc-redistributable in temp folder,

in normal verbose mode its working fine(downloading and installing the vc-redistributable)

it is giving problem only when i run in silent mode,

Please give me suggestions how to execute the vc-redistributable in silent mode with my setup.exe.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

You probably have the Custom Action which you use to install the redist EXE running in the UI sequence. That sequence doesn't get executed in silent mode.

In any event, installing prerequisites in that way is frowned upon (apart from being in the wrong sequence). The Visual C runtimes are available as merge modules: use those.

What, Google not working in your part of the world?

- As I recall, that EXE extracts an MSI which would convert nicely to a merge module.
- Doesn't InstallShield put a suitable MM into [ProgramFiles]Common Files\Merge Modules?
- When all else fails, go to horse's mouth here
