Issue:
Any application can easily be made into an unattended and silent installation if it's setup install program is based on '
To do this you would use a built in function of <nopInstallshield which allows you to create an answer file (ISS).
This file would be create by walking through a real installation on a test PC and literally remembering all the selections you make as you go through the install.
These settings would then be saved to an answer file (setup.iss
) which is created by default in the WINNT or Windows directory.
You can then re-execute the setup.exe installation by simply pointing to the setup.iss answer file as an option.
It is also possible to perform a silent uninstall using a similar trick.
Use the following command line options to accomplish this task.
Resolution:
Install shield options
setup.exe -r
will create answer file
setup.exe -s -a /s /f1setup.iss
will execute the silent install
setup.iss
will be created in the Winnt directoryTo Uninstall
Example:
"C:\WINDOWS\ISUNINST.EXE" -y -a -m -f "C:\Program Files\Path To\DeIsL1.isu"
You will need to adjust the path of the ISU file for your particular application.
