CoffeeFiend Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 You should try using full paths, and to see what went wrong, check the error code in the log file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico.JohnnY Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 thx for your advice...i know that full path.. i just give a short exmpleit has no log file created since i run the setup file from CDROMbut when run on harddisk...everything goes fine.maybe it is caused by a read-only problem..i have the same prob with all the installer shield program i have tried so far...others just work perfectly except for the installer shield packed up programany suggestion?

Rico.JohnnY Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 i finally get the answer from google"When setup.exe is executed in the silent mode from the CD, the default path for dumping the log files is the CD (read-only media). This causes the install shield to exit out without updating any devices. Workaround for this issue is to use a command-line flag option:setup -s -f2 <path name on c:> to specify a specific path for the log files."it's caused by the log file.....thx all the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big poppa pump Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Installshield apps need to create a log file. Hence some of them wont run from the cd. This is what you need to do as long as the setup.iss file is in the same directory as the setup.exe.setup.exe -s -f2%systemdrive%\xxxxxx.logThis will create a log file for that app in your systemdrive (C:\ or whichever). You can customize the path to wherever you wanna put it, after the %systemdrive%\.You can cleanup this log files later when you are finishing off your installation.

r4v3n Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Thanks! That -f2 switch solved my problem for Acrobat 6, Photoshop CS and InDesign CS, but I it didn't do it for Illustrator CS I get this in my logfile:[InstallShield Silent]Version=v7.00File=Log File[ResponseResult]ResultCode=-3[Application]Name=Adobe Illustrator CSVersion=11Company=AdobeLang=0009Any ideas? I installed them the same way to get the .iss file and this is what I use:REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Adobe InDesign CS" /fREG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\InDesign\Setup.exe -s -f2%systemdrive%\AdobeInDesignCSSetup.log" /fREG ADD %KEY%\044 /VE /D "Adobe Illustrator CS" /fREG ADD %KEY%\044 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Illustrator\Setup.exe -s -f2%systemdrive%\AdobeIllustratorCSSetup.log" /f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 ResultCode=-3 means: "Required data not found in the Setup.iss file" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4v3n Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Thanks. It seems it uses some other .iss file. Perhaps the other previous did a CD to some other directory with a .iss file or created one in the windows folder which it uses instead. I have attached the -f1 parameter as well, which should solve it... Another go with my vmWARE install...REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Adobe InDesign CS" /fREG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\InDesign\Setup.exe -s -f1%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\InDesign\Setup.iss -f2%systemdrive%\AdobeInDesignCSSetup.log" /fREG ADD %KEY%\042 /VE /D "Adobe Illustrator CS" /fREG ADD %KEY%\042 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Illustrator\Setup.exe -s -f1%CDROM%\Apps\Adobe\Illustrator\Setup.iss -f2%systemdrive%\AdobeIllustratorCSSetup.log" /f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
