InstallShield 2016
Project • This information applies to the following project types:
| • | InstallScript |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
Setup.log is the default name for the silent installation log file—generated when the end user runs Setup.exe with the /s argument—and it is by default created in the directory containing the response file Setup.iss. You can specify a different name and location for Setup.log using the /f1 and /f2 switches to Setup.exe.
The Setup.log file contains three sections. The first section, [InstallShield Silent], identifies the version of InstallShield Silent used in the silent installation. It also identifies the file as a log file.
The second section, [Application], identifies the installed application’s name and version, and the company name.
The third section, [ResponseResult], contains the result code indicating whether the silent installation succeeded. An integer value is assigned to the ResultCode keyname in the [ResponseResult] section. The installation places one of the following return values in the ResultCode key.
Project • Note that in an InstallScript MSI installation, there is no initialization process for reading or writing response files. As a result, the only errors that may occur for InstallScript MSI installation are -3 for silent installations and -6 for recording installations. Thus, the following table shows applicable project types where appropriate.
