OpenEdge 10.x

FIX:
The InstallShield Silent (ISS) Utility allows installing Progress in silent or batch mode by recording installation input information to a response file that can be run later with the -s command line parameter. Sometimes this fails and gives an error.
When this occurs, start the silent installation use the optional '-f2C:\<path-to-file>\setup.log' parameter in order to create a log file. The path-to-file indicates the location of the setup file. This InstallShield log file will contain an error message with a return code, like: "InstallShield failed (resultcode = xx).
The common ResultCode values are:
0 Success.
-1 General error.*
-2 Invalid mode.
-3 Required data not found in the Setup.iss file.
-4 Not enough memory available.
-5 File does not exist.
-6 Cannot write to the response file.
-7 Unable to write to the log file.
-8 Invalid path to the InstallShield Silent response file.
-9 Not a valid list type (string or number).
-10 Data type is invalid.
-11 Unknown error occurred during setup.
-12 Dialog boxes are out of order.
-51 Cannot create the specified folder.
-52 Cannot access the specified file or folder.
