Creating the response file manually

You can create and edit a response file in any text editor by adding necessary sections in a predefined order.

To create a response file manually:

  1. Create a new text file using any text editor.
  2. Enter the response file's required sections in the following order, noting that section names are contained in brackets:
    1. Silent Header Section [InstallShield Silent].
    2. Application Header Section [Application].
    3. Dialog Data Sections, for example [SerialControlNumber Dialog].
  3. Edit the necessary data within each section name. Data entries consist of name=value pairs, such as szDirWrk=C:\OEManage\WORK.
  4. Save and close the response file.

The following sample shows what a response file looks like:
