2. Run the installer with the /r ("record") switch.

4. Upon completing the installation, a file named setup.iss will be created in C:\WINDOWS directory (yes, really). This file will include all of your responses to the install shield dialog's from above step and these can allow you to perform unattended installations as if you were giving the same answers again.

5. Copy setup.iss to the same directory as the installer executable.

6. Copy the installer and the setup.iss file to the workstation where you prefer to install in silent mode. The installer and the setup.iss file should exist in same folder for this to work.

7. Run the installer with the /s ("silent") option. This will perform an unattended installation.

8. Upon completion of installation, a setup.log file will be created within the location where you launched the installer from. Open to review the logs.
