yeah but both trial versions only allow you to run the setup on the machine that created them....so its useless to me since the company is NOT going to buy either one.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I found a free program that worked for me with no problems.... &nbsp;Its called InstallRite 2.5... &nbsp;It basically captured the install and then repackaged it and also offers the option to make the install silent.<br />

I have an old install (from 1993) that appears to have been created from InstallShield 2.0.7, back when InstallShield was known as the Stirling Group. &nbsp;Anyway, unlike installs created with current versions of installShield, I cannot run Setup.exe -r and get a Setup.iss file for this install. &nbsp;Does anyone know of a way to repackage or recreate the install so that I can create a silent install of the application?<br />

Repackaging Setup.exe

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Installation

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
