Not to sound rude myself, but one software package I attempted to install would not work right when I left the setup.iss on the server, so I copied it to the NETINST directory and that fixed my problem. Due to that experience, if I cannot get an application to install correctly with the setup.iss on the server, I try copying it locally and running it from there, but normally, I do leave files on the server as you have said.
As for the software itself, I am having this problem with two applications. The first is SSH Secure Shell from www.ssh.com. I never got this application to work properly, so I resorted to AutoIt for the installation. The other is called EZ-NEC, it is antenna simulation software. Much to my dismay, your comment about educational software not installing silently has proven true in some respect or another for far too many of the applications that we need installed.
I tried the /f2 switch, which is correct, but it did not produce anything..... Any other suggestions???
Thanks,
Justin

The first though that comes to mind is, is the setup.iss file really in the netinst folder, I keep mine on the server alongside the setup program itself (I don't mean that to sound rude, but I have forgoten to move a file to the right spot before using it)
Secondly, if memory serves, using /f2{filepath} will record a log file, you could try that & see if there is an error message that might help
Lastly, some software just won't work like that, some educational stuff is really bad in that respect - perhaps if you let us know what you are trying to install someone might have already done it and be able to give some specific help.

I am having problems getting certain software to install. It uses the InstallShield installer, and when I ran it on the test machine with the "/r" switch it produced a setup.iss file. When I try to reuse this file, though, it doesn't do anything. I run "~~\Setup.exe /sms /s /f1:c:\NETINST\setup.iss" with the task manager open so I can see what all happens. It launches the setup.exe, then after less 10 seconds it is out of the list and nothing has gotten installed. Has anyone else seen this problem or does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it.
Thanks, Justin
