Setup.log is the default name for the silent installation log file and its default location is the same folder where Setup.ins is located.
You can specify a different name and location for Setup.log using the -f2 switch with Setup.exe.
The Setup.log file has 3 sections:
[InstallShield Silent]
Identifies the version of InstallShield Silent used in the silent installation. It also identifies the file as a log file.
[Application]
Identifies the installed application's name and version, and the company name.
[ResponseResult]
Contains the result code indicating whether or not the silent installation succeeded.
An integer value is assigned to the ResultCode keyname in the [ResponseResult] section.
InstallShield places one of the following return values after the ResultCode keyname:
0 Success
-1 General error
-2 Invalid mode
