Hello All,

First of all i want to thank this forum for all the information i was able to find here.

Im am working with deployment workbench to create a Zero Lite Touch Installation process.

Everything is working like i want except..

Silent installs with custom made installshield installers.

- I record a setup with Setup -r

- I succesfully test the silent install with SetUp.exe /s /sms /f1"setup.iss"

- In Deployment workbench i add an application and use a a quit install command : SetUp.exe /s /sms /f1"setup.iss"

This doesnt work.

I have tried the following

-- used the normal silent install command --> SetUp.exe /s /sms /f1"setup.iss"

-- used a different install command --> SetUp.exe /s /f1"setup.iss"

-- created a VBS script to run the install command --> works when i execute it from a workstation

-- created a cmd script to paste the install command --> works when i execute it from a workstation

I have checked the following

-- Before the silent install are neccasary directories are created

-- checked to see if working directory in deployment workbench are correct

Can someone help me to configure Deployment workbench by making silent installshield scripts work ?

Thanks in advance

'Unattended install in VBscript

'Script Created by juni 2009

Dim WshShell, fso, temp, sysd, app

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

temp = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%TEMP%")

sysd = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%Systemdrive%")

app = "\\<servername>\<setupdir>\"

ins = "/s /f1""\\<servername>\<setupdir>\setup.iss"" "

On Error Resume Next

`Combine app 'setup.exe' with installation switch

Wshshell.Run (app & "setup.exe " & ins)

I hope this helps someone else
