		VNC'ers:
		Win 9x / NT:

		Install shield seems to have the following options ( from my
non-scientific
		testing)
		setup -r  :  records the options that you select into a
setup.iss file that
		will be in either your %systemroot% or in the install
directory
		setup -s  :  runs the install in Silent mode.  If you want
to specify the
		setup.iss to answer the questions you would use the
following syntax:
		setup -s c:\setup.iss

		Result codes:  If your auto install fails, there will be a
setup.log file in
		the installation directory.  I did not find an exact
reference for the
		errors but this is what seems to be correct:
		result code = -5  : could not find the setup.iss file
		result code = -12 : something in the setup.iss file is not
correct  ( a
		question was not answered or was answered incorrectly )

		I am not sure what the -i option does.  Anyone have a list
of the
		InstallShield command line switches ?

		Apparently InstallShield has features to do this, via a -i
command-line
		option, which creates a log of an install which you can then
replay on
		other machines.

		I've never tried this, though - it just can up on the list
so perhaps a
		search on the mailing list archives would help?
