This article discusses the silent installation behavior of a setup built using an InstallScript MSI projects
Discussion
Silently running an Installation package built using an InstallScript MSI project type requires:
-
Recording a setup.iss file
-
Passing the /s parameter in the setup command line
When the installation is run silently, a task will display in the Windows Taskbar during execution of the install. The displaying of the task is expected behavior, and the behavior cannot be altered.
Workaround
A possible workaround would be to convert the project to an InstallScript project.Additional Information
For more information on running an installation silently, please refer to the following InstallShield Help articles:
