Hello Joe
This article helped me a lot.
You might just want to add doble qoutes like this, as Michelle already mentioned, if there are spaces in your path:
“%CD%\setup.iss” and “%temp%\setup.log”.

Hey Joe, get site! This has helped me in some other areas too.
I tried running this and it’s saying that the /a and /s are invalid switches. My version of SketchUp is 6.0.00211 so I ran the first install with the /r to get all the {12E75xx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx} correct. Do you think that Google removed the administrative and silent installs from their exe?

Thanks!

Dear Joe,
Thank you, this guide helped a lot. I downloaded Sketchup, 4 times, wouldn’t install. Installshield would reach the Welcome screen & then abruptly end, no errors, message boxes as to why.
I only needed to put double quotes around the %CD% batch file environment variable & the filename because of spaces in my installation directory.

I can now enjoy using Sketchup!

Hi,
This article was very helpful. Thanks for posting it up. I was wondering if there is a way to modify it so that it can be run from a UNC path ?
It took me a while to work out why it wouldn’t run properly. When I copied it to a mapped drive it worked fine.
