Both Adobe and InstallShield refuse to help with this. However, it is possible to create the silent install. The response code in the setup.log file (ResultCode=-12) indicates that something in the setup.iss file is either missing or in the wrong order. The problem is the penultimate dialogue box "View PageMaker Readme". If you uncheck this when running the installation and capturing the .iss file, the silent installation will fail. Solution: re-run the setup.exe -r and capture a new .iss file, only this time select the option to view the PageMaker Readme File. The installation will be successful and you will merely have to close the Readme File on conclusion. For the sake of clarity, here is the setup.iss file I used successfully.
