Is there a way to install silently (/s) an InstallShield (non-MSI) installer that requires its own prerequisites?
In my case the prerequisite is Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable. Its UI popping once the parent installer runs.
The nearest solution I could find was manipulating pre-requisite by extracting it from its parent. Similar to: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/02/07/update-regarding-silent-install-of-the-vc-8-0-runtime-vcredist-packages.aspx
(Assuming you re using an InstallShield 2010 InstallScript project with InstallShield prerequisites...)
InstallShield prerequisites allow you to specify a command line to be used when it is run silently. If the redistributable you need to run takes a parameter that makes it run silently (unfortunately not all redistributables do), specify this in the prerequisite s Specify the command line for the application when the setup is running in silent mode field. I don t know specifically whether the VC++ 2008 redistributable takes such an argument. If it does not, perhaps you could create an MSI project that uses the VC++ 2008 merge module, then install this MSI as a prerequisite silently.
