01076: Instructions on running Vpro5 silent install

It is possible to do a silent install with VPRO/5 or any product that uses InstallShield including the BASIS License Manager and the PRO/5 Data Server for Windows NT/2000 since Silent Install is a function of the InstallShield software. Here are the 3 steps:

1.) Run setup.exe passing a -r :
setup -r

This will create a install.iss response file in the directory.
The install.iss file may be edited with a text editor. There are additional parameters that may be passed to InstallShield, additional documentation may found at the following link:

2.) Copy this file to the directory where you plan on running setup.exe.
For Visual PRO/5 this would probably be C:\basis\ or possibly C:\temp\ depending on where you have unzipped the self-extracting zip file)

3.) Run setup.exe passing a -s:
setup -s

Running the install script this way also creates an install.log file.
