    [left] When deploying a package that was built with  InstallShield where you are using a recorded .iss answer file, you need to use the "job related macro" $ip (Item Procedure path) in your InstallShield switches.[left]  [left] For example[left]  [left] The procedure executable will be:[left] setup.exe[left]  [left] and the switches will be:
    /s /f1"$ip/1.vol/setup.iss" /f2$rf [left]  [left] The $ip will translate to the source path of the procedure and the $rf will redirect the logging to the Job Output instead of putting a file name there. [left]
