Response File Silent Header

InstallShield 2014

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

All response files begin with a response file silent header. The response file silent header enables InstallShield to identify the file as a legitimate InstallShield response file. It also helps to verify that the response file corresponds to an installation created with the proper version of InstallShield.

The format of the silent header is shown below. Enter the following lines at the beginning of your Setup.iss file:

[InstallShield Silent]

Version=v7.00

File=Response File

The Version=v7.00 line indicates the version of the InstallShield Silent response file, not the version of InstallShield. Use v7.00 in all response files.

When you are creating response files, be sure to use the same version of InstallShield to create the response file that will be used to run the silent installation.
