Installshield Setup.exe commandline parameters

Parameter	Action
/uninst	Uninstalls the product
Syntax: Setup.exe /uninst
/removeonly	Also uninstalls the product, but depending upon how authored it may display the welcome/maintenance dialog.
Syntax: Setup.exe /removeonly
/r	Record the installation to create an ISS answer file which may be used in a silent installation command
Syntax: Setup.exe /r Setup.exe /r /f1”c:\temp\my-answer-file.iss”
/s	Run the setup silently using a previously created ISS answer file (with the /r parameter).
Syntax: Setup.exe /s Setup.exe /s /SMS Setup.exe /s /f1”c:\temp\my-answer-file.iss” Setup.exe /s /f1”c:\temp\my-answer-file.iss” /f2”c:\temp\mylogfile.iss”
/f1	Specifies an alternative response file name and path; by default /s will look for setup.iss in the same directory as the setup executable and /r will create setup.iss in the Windows directory (%windir%).
Syntax : Setup.exe /r /f1”c:\temp\my-answer-file.iss” Setup.exe /s /f1”c:\temp\my-answer-file.iss”
/f2	Specifies an alternative log file name and path; by default the log file will be created in the same directory as the setup executable with the name setup.log.
Syntax: Setup.exe /s /f2”c:\temp\my-log-file.iss” Setup.exe /s /f1”c:\temp\my-answer-file.iss” /f2”c:\temp\mylogfile.iss”
/SMS	Instructs a silent setup not to release the current session until the installation is complete. Without this switch a silent installation will immediately appear complete and run in the background. Use this switch to have any additional installations or script actions wait for installation to complete (such as in a batch file). The  parameter was introduced to support MS Systems Management Server which would temporarily map a drive during installation to access source files (where it would immediately complete, and SMS would un-map the drive to the source files before the installation was complete.)
Syntax: Setup.exe /s /SMS Setup.exe /s /SMS /f1”c:\temp\AnswerFile.iss” Setup.exe /s /SMS /f1”c:\temp\AnswerFile.iss” /f2”c:\temp\mylogfile.iss”
/m	Generate a .MIF file (used by SMS and some other management solutions to report status information).
Syntax: Setup.exe /m”MyMIF”
/m1	Specifies the serial number to be written to a .MIF file (used with /m parameter)
Syntax: Setup.exe /m”MyMIF” /m1”1111-2222-“ Setup.exe /m”MyMIF” /m1”1111-2222-“ /m2”ENU”
/m2	Specifies the locale string to be written to a .MIF file (used with /m parameter)
Syntax: Setup.exe /m”MyMIF” /m2”ENU” Setup.exe /m”MyMIF” /m1”1111-2222-“ /m2”ENU”
/d	Debug InstallScript portion of the setup with the InstallScript debugger (ISDbg.exe). This is intended for setup authors to troubleshoot a setup and not for administrators since the action requires a setup.dbg file to be available for them.
Syntax: Setup.exe /d”<path to folder containing setup.dbg>” Setup.exe /v"ISSCRIPTDEBUG=1 ISSCRIPTDEBUGPATH=\"<path to folder containing setup.dbg>\""
/f	Specify alternative compiled script. Setup.exe looks for a compiled script file named Setup.inx, this parameter may be used to specify a different name for the compiled script file. Note that in earlier versions of InstallShield (InstallShield - Windows Installer Edition), this parameter served to initiate a repair of the installation.
Syntax: Setup.exe /f”AlternateSetup.inx”
/L	Specifies the language for the setup for those setups that support multiple languages. Language must be identified by decimal (LCID).
Syntax: Setup.exe /L1031 Setup.exe /L0007
/s	Install silently. By default the silent installation is based on the response file called Setup.iss in the same directory. (Response files are created by running Setup.exe with the /r option.) To specify an alternative file name or location of the response file, use the /f1 parameter.
Syntax: Setup.exe /s /f1”c:\temp\my-answer-file.iss” Setup.exe /s /f2”c:\temp\my-log-file.iss” Setup.exe /s /SMS
