hi all..
when i run Setup.exe /s or /r /f1(path\setup.iss) it seem to run through the normal install process but the actual file is not getting created in the specified folder or within C:\windows.
what im trying to do is create an answer file for the .msi installation
thanks in advance...

The .iss answer file concept only works for InstallScript setups, not for MSI setups.
Instead, either set the properties on the command line or create a transform for this purpose. If you don't need to adjust the selection but accept the defaults, you can simply run the setup in silent mode:
msiexe.exe /i your.msi /q
If the msi is packaged inside a setup.exe it will depend on that exe how to set silent mode. For InstallShield this would be:
Setup.exe /s /v"/qn"

just to add... i had this problem earlier on and found a cure for this...
if the software is prompting for a reboot after the install.. add this and it should suppress the reboot..
/qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress"

...provided of course the packager relied on the Windows Installer reboot triggers and didn't use a Custom Action. Like Symantec do. And IBM. And Adobe.
It's good general advice, though.
