Hi,

I am also in the same situation. If I receive any information I'll pass
it along.

Regards,

Did either of you find anything? Most setups work with the -r option to
create the setup.iss file, but not all. I would love to know how to make
the silent install reboot after it's done.

Mikkel / Michael,

I use the document located on InstallShield's website for reference on how
to create "Silent Installs."

The number is "Document ID: Q101901"

In short, create your executable in InstallShield then run it as follows:
Myapp.exe -r (This creates a file name "setup.iss" in the Windows directory.
You will see your regular prompts. All selections will be recorded in the
forementioned file.

After file is created run the following command:
Myapp.exe -s -f1C:\<directory where setup.iss file is located>\setup.iss

You may relocate the setup.iss file to another directory (or burn it to a
CD-ROM). It does not have to remain in the Windows directory.


Hope this helps.
