installshield -R switch doesn't work

[sykocus]

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..

[sykocus]

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

[sykocus]

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

anyway, the result is the same

[MCT]

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

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
