Hi,
When I created an ".iss" response file with setup.exe /R, I did not see any "all users" or "just me" options.
The desktop icon goes to "all users" profile and the start menu items go to the current profiles (just me). Is there any way to fix this. For an MSI I'd use the ALLUSERS property, is there anything I can add to the response file?
Note I didn't create the installer, I'm just trying to install it.
I also don't actually know of any way to tell what Install Shield product was used to package it (so I took a stab and posted here), is there any way to tell?
Thanks,
Dennis

Whats the version number and product info of the setup.exe? This might help to identify the InstallShield proudct and version has was used.
Does the setup work properly with full ui? In other words: is this a silent install problem only, or a general problem wirth this setup?
In any case, I don't think there's anything you can put in the .iss to switch to an all-users install if the setup isn't prepared for it.

I should have noticed this in the generated ".iss" file earlier:
[InstallShield Silent]
Version=v6.00.000
SETUP.EXE file version: 6, 22, 100, 1441
I also though of thsi after posting and no a full ui install (and not changing
the start menu) still causes this problem.
If there is no quick fix then I'll go with the slower workaround, thanks.

So that would probably InstallShield Professional 6.22
Apparently this setup doesn't properly support all-user installs. Without access to the script source code I guess there's nothing you can do to fix it.
