Dear InstallShield users

Dear InstallShield users,

InstallShield has a new project type option that I really like. It is the "Compact Project". With this, you can make your project 30% smaller than the basic msi project. And another good thing about this is it installs and uninstalls faster. However, I can't figure out how to install these compact projects silently I tried searching for articles on their website about this but I can't find any. I don't even know if these projects can support silent installation, or even switches.

Please give me your opinion.

Thanks.

Love,

totoymola

well ummm knowing installshield, you DID try the record method with the setup.iss correct?

[totoymola]

Unfortunately, only installscript and installscript msi support the record mode and record the response file.

I guess no one has figured this out yet.. Too bad for me..

Hahaha!! I was so desperate to know the silent install switch for this, so I even tried using USSF. It says "Unknown Installer".

Thanks for the link. Yes. I tried searching there before, but I can't find any articles about the compact project.

The first link that you posted is for the "Universal" installers only. Almost every type of project has a different approach and command line switches.

The second link is for msi's, so it will not work here because compact projects are not msi's.
