To execute an unattended installation:Once you have recorded a parameter file, you can use the /s parameter to run the setup silently. By default, the installation process looks for the response file (.iss) in the same directory as the setup.exe. You use the /f1 parameter to specify a different location of the .iss file. The response file (.iss) must be either be pushed out with the setup.exe file or reside in a location that is accessible to all computers and uses the same drive mapping as is stored in the response file.
To run an unattended installation, you must use the standard InstallShield silent install parameters in the command line.
/s - runs the installer in silent mode
/f1[scriptfile] - The name of the response file created when running the installer in record mode, including the path.
/f2[logfile] - The name of the installation log file created when running the installer in silent mode, including the path. This parameter is optional; if it is not used, the log file is created in the same folder as the response file.
Example: "<location of the setup file>\smarthelpsetup.exe" /s /f1"<location of the response file>\smarthelpsetup.iss"
Sample: "x:\my folder\smarthelpsetup.exe" /s /f1"x:\smarthelpsetup.iss"
While the setup file is running, there is no indication in the task bar. To verify that the setup process is still running, open Task Manager and view the Processes tab. Setup.exe should appear in the list. When the smarthelpinstaller.exe disappears from the task list, you can verify that the installation was successful by opening the setup.log file and locating the [ResponseResult] section. If the value of the ResultCode is 0, the installation was successful.
