In cases where there is no graphics display device available, or for some other reason you wish to run the installer without the graphical user interface (GUI) InstallShield can be launched in console or no-GUI mode. When invoking the installer setup program add the -console command line argument. In cases where InstallShield launches automatically, select Cancel to cancel the GUI install and then launch the setup program from a terminal or console. Then:
Change the default directory to the CD.
Run the setup program with the -console command line argument:
setup -console
The flow of the installation is identical to a regular GUI installation, except that the display is written to a terminal window and responses are entered using the keyboard.
