m-vw Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Hi,When trying to record an iss file for my Nvidia driver installation the -R or /r switch does a bit more than it is supposed to do.Normally I get a screen where I can choose what to install and then in the end I can choose to restart my pc now or later. But when using the -R switch I can't choose what to install and my pc reboot automatically.I've tried deleting/renaming the iss files I see in the app dir and the windows dir, but this doesn't seem to help.Any ideas?

totoymola Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I also have Nvidia driver. I didn't need to make a new setup.iss because it's already included. I simply run it with /s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctwizzy Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 InstallShield switches have to be the most cofusing switches ever.Some use - some use / so which is it? After talkin to a IS rep on the phone and reading the documentation on their website, it seems there are not supposed to be ANY switches using the -. So to anyone using -s and -r, or -f1, -f2 these are not supported as far as what Ive been told. Use /Furthermore the IS website shows this:http://documentation.installshield.com/rob...Line.htm#rParam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Some use - some use /Actually, the "/" and the "-" are the same. You can use either. Most people are having a hard time because some guides say use "/" and some say use "-". Same as the capitalization. You can use either lower or upper case. It doesn't really matter.

m-vw Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 @totoymola:Doesn't this iss files reboot your pc?----------When I get home I'll try the /r in combination with the /f1, perhaps this fixes the problem.The strangest thing is that I'm pretty sure the /r worked the first time I tried it, but this was weeks ago and I threw away all my trail runs.

m-vw Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 The /r switch doesn't seem to work.I left the Installshield path and started looking at the alternative.But.... suddenly I came across the -k switch.So I tried setup.exe -k -s and it works.I don't know why the -r doesn't work, but I do know that I'm not the only one.

totoymola Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 No it doesn't reboot my pc.I have a wonderful suggestion for you. Why don't you integrate it to your Windows installer by using Nlite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And use WinRAR to execute in the SFX:setup.exe /sIf you use the webpackage from cd. you would need:(Rename setup.iss, and put it in $$ directory)whatever.exe /s /a /s /f1C:\Windows\setup.iss /f2C:\install.log/a is admin install, so any switches passed after it, will be passed to setup.exe.
