I have the same problem (silent install). In details: I run setup.exe with command line options -r to create response file needed for silent installation in InstallShield. By default it is created in the windows directory with name setup.iss. Then I move this setup.iss to the same folder as setup.exe and try to run setup.exe -s to perform the silent setup, but it fails. The log file contains:
[InstallShield Silent] Version=v4.90.000 File=Log File [ResponseResult] ResultCode=-3 According to IS documentation: -3 Required data not found in the Setup.iss file. Even if I set verbose this is all I have. I didn't find the source for the InstallShield project in the source distribution (I searched for *.ipr, *.rul). What a pity! With the IS project source in hand it would be a piece of cake to handle this situation. BTW this silent setup thing is working with another software (I tryed it with J2RE 1.4.0 -> I had to collect the exracted stuff from the temp directory during installation but then it worked all right). Maybe there's a bug in the InstallShield version used (it is an old 5.x version). Maybe there's a bug in the IS project for MySql. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But I guess it makes *no sense* that everyone writes his/her own silent setup for MySql when there is an official one already. Thanks, Attila > -----Original Message----- > From: Gerald R.
