CoffeeFiend Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Find the .iss file and make sure it looks ok, put it in the same spot as your installer, and start it with -s, then if it fails, look at the error code inside the log file, that will tell you what went wrong.

Aaron Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Make a log file by doing Setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\software.log" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Forsaken]Omni Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Was hoping I can get some help here, my last file to convert and can't get it going. I am trying to do D-Link Software packed with installShield. There several ways I've tried to work this1stsetup.exe -Rbut doesn't create an .iss file at all.2ndSetup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\dlink.log"doesn't create the log unless i remove the 2 or 1 in other cases. Has to be just the -f for it to run. otherwise i get a mssg stating that "There is not enough spaceon drive 2dlink.log\ to extract this package. Please free up 2.88 MB and click Retry."And of course I have 100gb hard drive. So i don't understand this.If I run it with just the -f instead of the -f2 it will start the program but will still ask me to click on next to continue, so not much of a silent installI'd appreciate any help thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 it may be that Dlink's setup is not an InstallShield but rather Wise or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Forsaken]Omni Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I've tested out if it other methods and no results. when I click to install I do get the InstallShield menu. Wouldn't that mean it is using instalshield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
