Silent install using setup.exe /s does not work!
Hi,
I'm using InstallShield Premiere 2010 (I have the same problem with 2011).
I ran an interactive install with /r to generate my answers file. Then I copied the iss file so that I have my setup.exe and answers file setup.iss in the same folder.
When I run a silent install using just the /s switch (setup.exe /s), the install fails and the log file reports an error of -5 (can't find file). If I specify where the file is using the /f1 switch (setup.exe /s /f1".\setup.iss") the silent installation works.
Has anyone had a similar problem? As I mentioned, I have this same issue with both IS 2010 and 2011. Our customers are demanding that we support /s without the /f1 switch.
Thanks for any help

Insert Setup.iss file to [Support Files] -> [Advanced Files] -> [Disk1], then rebuild your project.
Hope that helps.
