Running the InstallShield Silent Utility

As an alternative to the standard interactive installation, you can install Fathom without being prompted for input.

To run the InstallShield Silent utility:

  1. Create a response file.
  2. See either the "Creating a response file automatically" section or the "Creating the response file manually" section for information about creating a response file.

  3. Run Fathom's setup.exe using the -s option.
  4. Note the following syntax:

    setup.exe -s [-f1C:\pathname\ResponseFile] [-f2C:\pathname\SetupLog] 
    

    By default, InstallShield looks for a response file named setup.iss in your Windows directory. During the installation, a log file named setup.log is created in your Windows directory. Use the -f1 option to specify an alternate directory and filename for the response file. Use the -f2 option to specify an alternate directory and filename for the log file.

    Note: Be sure that there is no space between -f1 or -f2 and the pathnames that follow.
