extract the main setup.exe (including some other files beside) from %temp% and create a response file (setup.iss) with the configurations needed and write a script like this "%~dp0setup.exe" /s /f1"%~dp0setup.iss" /f2"C:\temp\mpm.log" To create a response file use this "\your setup.exe" /r /f1"your location wer to create\setup.iss"
Hello
have u tried the usual silent switches like /q /s
if this didnt work, see if the setup is created in installshield and try to create a response file(.rsp) out of it. Then pass this .rsp file to setup.exe. Your application will install silently

thanks for the guidance... tried with /q /quit /s /silent /verysilent but didn't work that's y created a response transform - srikanth.deep 11 years ago
Some software sets up it's installer in your temp folder by decompressing the base install file there. flush your temp folder, start the installer and step into it watching your temp folder. You may get lucky, I have been able to harvest the real installer from the temp and create a silent install using the msi or exe that decompressed from the orginal exe.

another thing you can try is to install the program then look at c:\windows\installer for a msi with the time stamp of the time of install and use that. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
Thank you so much, I extracted the main setup.exe from temp and created a response file (setup.iss) with the configurations need and its working fine.

You should post that in the software library for others to find. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago

That is a good question! How do you add a new software to the library? Why Don't you ask so you get the points? - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
