deploying installshield exe in silent mode

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi guys,
I have an installshield executable that I am trying to deploy in silent mode and these are the steps I took:
Ran the setup file in "recording mode" setup -r and that created a setup.iss file under WINDOWS directory
copied the ISS file under the same directory as the original SETUP.EXE file
Wrote a script to execut e the installation but doesn't work
rem Install VPN client 5.0
cd\
cd c:\Directory name
start /wait setup.exe -s -f1setup.iss
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1
shutdown -r -f
I am sure there is an error somewhere as I never ran an installshield in SILENT mode before

Command
Hi;
as you have put .iss file in the same folder where exe is present, there is no need of -f1 just give -s after exe path in command prompt.
Your command should also work but when you are using -f1 switch you should give complete path of setup.iss file. The probable issue I had faced in generation of iss is use of unclean machine for generating iss file. Make sure your machine is clean before generating iss file.
Make a point if iss file is present in same directory as setup.exe then there is no need of -f1 switch only -s works fine.
THanks that was it!
