I have a FAH installer, that makes the fah client run as a service. It was made with installsheild. for some reason the -R switch doesn't create an .iss file in c:\windows. I know the person who made the installer, so i know its installshield.

is it possible that the problem is somewhere in how he put it together?

just 2 clarify.. u ran this.. in run

"%userprofile%\Desktop\File.exe" -R

(with the quotes)

providing the file is on your desktop..

well for simplicity's sake i create a shortcut to the installer at add -R to the target path. so it looks like this

C:\Install\Applications\Fah\foldingsetup.exe -R

(when add quotes and click ok, and go back into shortcut properties the quotes are removed)

just use run, its alot easier

for me the shortcut way is easier...guess my typing isn't acurate enough...

anyway, the result is the same

i think, the devoloper has the option of allowing switches (not 100% sure, maybe someone can clarify) so they may have left that -R out, in that case, try installrite

regards

Try:

Setup.exe -r -f1"c:\setup.iss" -f2"c:\logfile.txt"

still no iss file...there is a log file in the root dir though

Yeah, I have the same problem.
