totoymola Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totoymola Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 Unfortunately, only installscript and installscript msi support the record mode and record the response file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 I guess no one has figured this out yet.. Too bad for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hahaha!! I was so desperate to know the silent install switch for this, so I even tried using USSF. It says "Unknown Installer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durex Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Have you tried this..http://helpnet.installshield.com/Robo/BIN/...h%2Fgsearch.aspor this?http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.a...ticleid=Q101705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 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.
