Scripting

Need to script a silent installation for the Cisco Aironet card. Downloaded latest driver, Win-Client-802.11a-b-g-Ins-Wizard-v11.exe. This is an Installshield exe, so I thought I should be able to take the expanded files from temp, run the Setup.exe with /r, and create a response file as usual. The expanded files from the oem exe are in several directories under temp and when I run this Setup.exe, the installation prompts for a Data2.cab file, which exists nowhere on the PC. When I run the oem exe, the installation runs fine, but I need to create a silent installation for the driver only, not the driver and utilities. I do not think the Win-Client-802.11a-b-g-Ins-Wizard-v11.exe takes any switches, nothing on Cisco web site, tried /s or -s, no different. I thought it might be a bug in this latest install, but the previous oem exe does the same thing. Installshield web site has a few tids where the setup.exe asks for a bogus data2.cab, solution is to run setup.exe -deletor, tried this, no change.

Does anyone have experience scripting this installation? Thanx for any information.
