Silent install
Hello everybody,
I am trying to install a Directive Derivatives vendor MSI. However I am unable to install this in silent mode.
There is a messagebox opening that says: "To run a silent install you must either specify a response file or override this event (OnMsiSilentInstall()) and provide your own implementation. Setup will now end."
I can't use a response-file because i'm not allowed to ditribute a setup.exe with my installation. Only msi and cab-files are allowed (plus a cmd-file for parameters).
How can i override the event OnMsiSilentInstall()? Or is/are there another solution for my problem?
Help would be welcome.
Thanks
Jay

there might be a custom action which is calling this event.......you need to find out which customs action is calling this...........
Custom action can be dissabled but need to make sure that app installed with custom action and without custom action are same and have nothing different.....just to ensure that custom action does'nt install something extra

In addition, also check for the product properties table. You might get some property which might be used for this disabling feature.

See if the installation can create a log file. Then look in the log file to see what msi parameters were used. Often you will find a log file in the Temp directory during installation.

The Thread did not have any solution, so here is what I did when I was getting the same dialog box saying, "To run a silent install you must either specify a response file or override this event (OnMsiSilentInstall()) and provide your own implementation. Setup will now end.".

Step 1 is needed and Step 2 was needed.
Step 1, add to the Property table, "ISSETUPDRIVEN" as is stated with a value of 1.
Step 2, I located the custom action with "OnCheckSilentInstall" and comment out 3 lines that made up the action.
The first line was the IF statement, the second line had a Function CheckSilentInstall (OnCheckSilentInstall) and the third line was a closing End for the IF statement.
For both steps I made the update in the MSI.
Take care.....
