Symposium Agent Desktop
I am new to this, so please bear with me. I am trying to create a silent install package for Symposium Agent Desktop Display. The setup is an InstallShield setup.exe, so I tried using the AppDeploy Repackager to make an MSI file. During this process, I received an error that said that the setup was already repackaged and that I can use a transform file to customize. I can pass a /s switch to make it install, but it still prompts me for information about the servers.
I thought that transform files were only for MSI files. I am very confused and looking for the easiest way (and product) that will allow me to automate this deployment.
Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like the set-up stub is extracting and executing an MSI.
Re-run the EXE and, when you see the first dialog box - normally a 'Welcome to ACME Blah v[whatever]' screen - take a look in the %TEMP% folder or, in some cases, the %APPDATA% folder, for an MSI (having cleaned out those locations of spurious junk, to make identification easier).

You can also run the setup /?. Usually that will give you your options - sometimes it offers the ability to extract via an /extract:[path] switch. otherwise, the setup.exe will often present the /v switch to pass properties to the MSI. Quite often there's a /q switch available to install quietly.
VBScab is right (per usual) that you can find MSIs in those spots. Keep in mind that those will most likely be setup-driven so you'll need to account for that with the ISSETUPDRIVEN property.

Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
