I also had trouble with this here is how you silently package MYOB.
Step 1. Generate an iss response file by running the following command:
setup.exe /r -f1"c:\temp\Install.iss"
Run through the full installation, then roll back your vm or uninstall MYOB
Step 2. Test your silent installation by running the following command:
setup.exe /s /v"SERIAL=xxxxxxxxxxxx" -f1"c:\temp\Install.iss"
Note you must pass a valid serial number otherwise the install will fail with setup.log file having a ResultCode=-3 error in it.

I have had some issues with MYOB 2015. if you extract the msi and create a mst file, you can deploy it successfully, however, it wont integrate with MS Office especially MS Excell.

I'm not sure specifically about MYOB, but I think this was the syntax I used for another InstallShield EXE that called the two MSis:
setup.exe /s /v"/qn "
For testing, you can use /qb instead of /qn for basic setup dialogs instead of complete silence.
Let me know how it goes,
