InstallAnywhere silent installs

[zorphnog]

Hi all. I'm new to the forum, but love the work thats been done here. Very helpful forum. Anyway I'm fairly new to silent installs and the only problem I have found are with InstallAnywhere installs. I've searched the forum and only found a few topics and no real answers. I've searched the InstallAnywhere website and found the -i SILENT switch, but I need to change the default values for the program I am trying to install. So I attempted the properties file method, and I can get all but one property to change. I tried using AutoIt, but InstallAnywhere is Java-based and therefore you cannot use control functions or read window text (only titles). And before you go asking what program I'm trying to install, its a privately developed app for the company I work for. I've tried getting in contact with the developer, but that has proved to be harder than I thought. So any ideas on how to automate this? Oh yeah, I've also tried installRite but its doesn't install correctly. ANY ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
