Hi there. I tried to do a silent install of ZixSelect, closely following instructions from the admin manual. So far, no success even though there are no reported errors and Zix Support has no clues about what went wrong. I installed ZixSelect manually, selecting only desired options. Then, I copied ZSO_6.1.0.33.exe to c:\zixselec and ran ZSO_6.1.0.33.exe -s -f1z:\zixselect\setup.iss. I see the ZSO_6.1.0.33.exe show up for a few minutes only to go away. What might be the root of the problem here?
Hello,
Figured it out.
-
Noticed that setup.log was for some reason being saved to the network share where my script was copying the Zix installer from instead of to c:\zixselect
-
That setup.css had a resultcode of 0 which means successful according to a list of codes I found here Progress Customer Community which was puzzling.
-
Found here The Silent Install options for InstallShield installer - Silent Install Builder that you can specify a supplemental log file so I added -f2C:\zixselect\setup.log and got a log file with resultcode -5 “file does not exist”
-
Explicitly listed path using: c:\ZixSelect\ZSO_6.1.0.33.exe -s -f1c:\ZixSelect\setup.iss -f2C:\zixselect\setup.log
-
Now it works!
