Hey everyone,

I am attempting to run an InstallShield Wizard silently. I have created a silent install response file. It appears to be recording everything except 1 entry. Looking at the response file and researching, i can't figure out how to make the InstallShield prompt to NOT popup and just either accept the default (since this window that pops up has only 1 entry that you can choose and then you hit next) or record my response as 'next' inside the response file. 

 

Here are my command line parameters:

 

record mode:  setup.exe /r /f1"C:\temp\setup.iss"

silent install:  setup.exe /s /f1:C:\temp\setup.iss"

 

response file:

The "display destination location" section is the part directly after the popup screen. so it appears that its not recording an entry here. 
 

1. How do i get this piece of the install to record properly in the response file?

2. Can i get it to accept the default and move on without popping up?

3. Can i customize the response file, and if so, what is the exact line entry going to be called?

I don't know what's so special about that prompt, but an alternative approach is that you could just customize your InstallScript code by conditionalizing it only appear when not in silent mode via "if (MODE != SILENTMODE) then ... ".
