Correct. Response files are used by InstallScript project and InstallScript MSI projects. They are not relevant to Basic MSI projects.
FWIW, it's not very good. ---------------------------------------- From: "Chad Petersen" <chad.peter...@harlandfs.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 1:21 PM To: "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Response file for silent installation Look at what you pointed to. It's an article from 2006 dealing with InstallSheild 12 (NOT 2012) so it is very old. Some of it still applies to older projects but I don't think that applies to a Basic MSI project. If you run your MSI with MSIEXEC.EXE command line parameters to generate a verbose log file the COMMANDLINE that is executed by the engine is logged. You can grab that from the log file and use it as a basis for other command lines but that's the way I know of. Probably just haven't run across anything better and it works but others will be along to share their techniques if there's something better. -----Original Message----- From: Marco Tognacci [mailto:mark...@live.it] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 10:35 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Response file for silent installation Is there any way for recording user choise, to generate a file to use for running the setup in silent mode like InstallShield do with -r command line parameter? as explained in the help reported in the link http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield12helplib/CreatetheRe sponseFile.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
