Silent install installer with prerequisites


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.


Solution

  • 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
