So I tried various ways of creating a response file in record mode but no matter what i passed to my setup.exe no response file was created.
As such I tried to manually create one based off a guide I found here:
Response File Guide
My response file looks like the following

The issue is that when I call my installer with the following arguments it seems to start silently at first but then loads up the dialog sequence anyways.
MySetup.exe -s -f1c:\mytest.iss OR MySetup.exe /s /f1c:\mytest.iss
I also tried putting -0 after each dialog name. The guide shows "SdWelcome-0" But if I navigate to the dialog section of my installer I see the name as "InstallWelcome". I also read it is possible to have a flag set that disallows silent mode or record mode. It is possible this is set in my Installer but I do not know what or where this flag would be.

Response files are for InstallScript setups. If your setup is a Basic MSI project, you can't use a response file.

So I was not clever enough in my phrasing of the question to get the response I needed buy thanks to Stefan for responding and pushing me in the direction I needed to actually go I found that I could silently install my msi based installer with msiexec /s /v"/qn" I had assumed the response file was the appropriate. Just wanted to update the post in case someone else bumps into this issue as well.

Sorry if my reply was too short and sounded rude. I think, essentially I wanted to ask: "Which project type are you actually using?"

Not at all Stefan...
I phrased my question wrong because I didnt know what I really needed or even needed to ask at the time. Your response was helpful in pushing me towards what I really needed. I only added the comment so that anyone who searches the same way I did will find it and get to the solution quicker.
The comment was not intended to offend or infer anything about support of you or anyone else in the community. I am extremely thankful for the level of support and patience you have shown thus far with my posts
