Silent Install through Installshield V6

[Ju Kim]

Once I was able to execute a silent install on XPe SP1 through "setup.exe
/s". setup.iss was valid and was created by "setup.exe /r". What I don't
understand is this is not working anymore. I ran through a diff between
working fbalog.txt and setupapi.log files but could not lead to any
conclusion. Can any one suggest me where to look? Or better yet how should I
go about resolvingn this?

Thank you.

Hi, Ju Kim!

Once I was able to execute a silent install on XPe SP1 through "setup.exe

I got the same problem. In my case the installation on XPe tried to
replace one locked file, that it didn't try to replace on XP.
InstallShield fails in case of dialog mismatch.
Possible solutions:
1. Write a response file (.iss) on XPe and use it.
or
2. Add handlers OnFileReadOnly, OnFileLocked (something like this) if
you can modify your InstallShield app:

if (MODE = SILENTMODE || MODE = RECORDMODE) then
return ERR_YES;
else
return SdExceptions(READONLY / LOCKED, File);
endif;

Thank you! Although that wasn't the problem, but your suggestion got me thinking clearly
