Currently we are using Installshield in silent mode to perform the installs. Depending on the install location for a given customer, we go into a "generic" SETUP.ISS file, modify the installation location programmatically and then launch the SETUP.EXE. Upon completion, the return code is stored in the SETUP.LOG file which we then evaluate to determine if the app installed correctly.

However, we've been experiencing problems and are evaluating the possibility of switching to the PDW installs instead. Is there any way that we can do roughly the same thing?

Thanks for all of your help.

PDW creates (in addition to SETUP.EXE) SETUP.LST file, which is in plain text and can be edited in same manner. However, I'm not sure you can launch SETUP.EXE in silent mode.

Installation creates ST6UNST.LOG file, which also is in plain text and can be used to determine successful operations/errors during installation.
