I have windows InstallShield Executable (.exe) without source files. This installer works in an interactive (GUI) manner. After installation, I can see the registry entry and entry in services.msc. Now there is a requirement to change it to silent installation for automation.
I have converted that InstallShield exe to msi using some extract options.
When I tried to install this MSI in silent manner using msiexec.exe, installation went fine but it was not adding those registry entry and services.msc entry,
This is the command I have used with admin user login via cmd prompt,
msiexec.exe /i app.msi /qn
Am I missing some thing here ?
NOTE - The problem here is I don't have the source for the InstallShield build just the executable alone.
I have seen additional properties like ALLUSERS and INSTALLLEVEL. Are there something else I need to add on this ?
I am trying this on Windows Server 2012 R2.
