Windows Installer command line options

If your installer was created by InstallShield: run setup.exe -r on a clean machine. This will created a setup.iss in C:\Windows. Copy and paste setup.iss to the folder that the original program resides in and run setup.exe -s. The installation of that program should be silent.

If your installer is an MSI: run setup.msi with either /qb (progress bar) or /qn (completely silent).
