Silent installation of software with install shield

[Ashvin]

Hello All,

I am working on one software application having sql server database.

I need to uninstall and install the software frequently which takes lot of time, so i want to automate this process to save time.

few points to be considered.

- Application setup.exe file install software with "install shield" wizard ( there are 8-10 screen in setup)

- While installation it asks to select database also, so Database should exist prior installation starts

- While installation setup will deploy SSRS reports also, so need to specify report server

- While setup title bar of each setup screen will remain same like "Install shield Wizard"

Is there any way i can automate this process ? so that my installation can be done faster and easily by one click.

I believe AutoIT may be useful for this task.

Please share if any solutions available.

Thanks in Advance,

Ashvin

Use the Setup Recorder?
