These are the steps for successful installation and unintallation:
+
1.  Use Uniextract to extract the Disk1 folder containing the installshield setup.exe with assocaited cab files.
+
2.  Record the setup.iss file using setup.exe -r NOTE this file is created in C:\Windows so move it from their to your install source folder.
+
3.  Make two copies e.g. setup32.ini and setup64.ini for XP/Win764.  Edit each setup??.iss to change the value of szDir=
+
4.  Record another setup.iss this time for uninstallation.  This is done by finding the UID folder usually
+
    located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information" and running setup.exe -r (again).
+
    The new setup.iss file is again located in c:\windows
+
5.  Edit the setup.ini and add switches to the value cmdline=/s /v/qn
+
6.  Now reference the following for sequencing your app
+
    installation:
+
    For XP or Win7 32bit
+
    %SOFTWARE%\MYAPP\setup.exe /s /f1%SOFTWARE%\MYAPP\setup32.iss /f2c:\netinst\MYAPP.log
+
    For Windows 7 64bit
+
    %SOFTWARE%\MYAPP\setup.exe /s /f1%SOFTWARE%\MYAPP\setup64.iss /f2c:\netinst\MYAPP.log

    uninstallation:
+
    For XP or Win7 32bit
