I have successfully created 3 .mst files with InstallShield Tuner which upgrade users to V6 depending on which install we want them to have (Client, Client + Designer, or Client, Designer, and Administrator). I am really proud of these just to show you how new I am at this.
My question is how do I make it seamless/silent (with a progress bar)? I have tried to put command line parameters in the “Package, Setup” area with no success. I get an invalid parameter error. I have tried--/s /v" /qn", just /s, and /qb+ all with no success.
I have tried to specify a batch file path here and I still get an error.
Questions:
1. Where do I specify the batch file?
2. Am I doing this right to do a silent install with progress bar?
I saw this post by Christopher Harvey who specified on how to do it but I am still wondering where to reference and put the batch file.
I’m also assuming that these files are placed on a shared drive so all can access it using the same path.
Please help.
**********This is the information I copied and pasted from Christopher Harvey’s post********
By department, I sent the users an email with instructions and a button that ran this code:
@Command([EmptyTrash]);
@PostedCommand([FileExit]);
@PostedCommand([Execute];"\\\\bmic5\\apps\\NOTES\\R601_Client\\auto_setup.bat";"")
I explained in my email that their trash would be gone and that Notes would shutdown.
The batch file looks like this:
@echo off
