Can a Installer response file be created and used as an automated installation process. The response file would contain the answaers to each screen during the installation process and be automatic and require no user intervention.

Depends on which Installer you talk about...

* For apps made with Installshield: basically yes, if the developers of the setup used all Ishield defaults then it works, there's a commandline switch to redirect input from a responsefile
* For appsusing the MSI (Windows Installer) format: yes, obtain MSI info from the MS website

For other situations, depends. For all MS material (like Windows itself) the answer is also yes though implementations vary.

Hope thiz helpz,
