Hi,
I have been trying to create an add on installer that uses the silent install option for a week without any success. I have been creating all of my add on installers' setup.exe files using InnoSetup. There seems to be no way to do a silent install when using InnoSetup to create the setup.exe file as it appears the zip file required as the parameter file needs to be a compress iss (InstallShield Script) file. Is this really the only option? I have looked at SAP's add on installers for 64 bit add ons and that is what is contained in their zip files.
I then switched to InstallShield and cannot seem to get this to work either. Depending on how I compile the setup.exe file with InstallShield, I either get no install happening so the add on registration process times out or I get the error "Add-on executable file not found". This has been very frustrating. I thought I had made some headway as for the first few days I was unable to make the calls required to notify B1 that the install/uninstaller had completed (EndInstall/EndUninstall in the AddOnInstallAPI_x64.dll). Apparently there is no way to call the 64 bit functions so I was forced to create a wrapper of that DLL and now call an executable that calls them so that is now working. Why on Earth is it so difficult to get a simple install process working with B1? It has been a struggle since version 2004 a decade ago and has never gotten any better unless one wants to use the generic installer which is so out of date it's ridiculous.
If anyone can please point me in the right direction that would be super. I would prefer to continue using InnoSetup if possible but as it appears you cannot do a silent install without an InstallShield Script parameter file I don't think that's an option. Now that I've scripted an InstallShield installer, I would just like to know what I'm doing wrong so I can get my add on registered. Please help!!! 
Thanks so much,
David
