Converting Exe To Msi for silent install

Hi,

I am currently using the Advanced installer trial version to test the functionnalities.
The exe to msi convert process is working fine.

If I start the .msi alone it goes through the installation process without problem except for the fact that it prompts this window:
This package was created with a trial version of Advanced Installer. You may use it for evaluation purposes only.


When I use the .msi with the silent switches(/qn) or (/q), the installer shows in Task manager for a while and then disappears after a few minutes but nothing has been installed. Is it caused by the trial version prompt?

thank you
