title: Why Installer made with installshield hangs when deployed using ReleaseManagementBuild.exe?
body: <p>I have a build definition in TFS that compile my code, then using a post build event, I create a Setup.exe file using Installshield.</p>
  
  <p>Using <strong>Release Management</strong> I am able to deploy the installer to a machine and start the installation process using the tool <strong>RunCommandLine</strong>, I add the required parameters to the setup.exe so it will install the application silently (using an answer file to avoid user interaction). This process works smoothly!!!</p>
  
  <p>I want to go far, so I tried to launch a release from a gated check-in....change the build template, install the release management client in the build agent, configure my build definition......I performed a small change in my code, then a check-in.....it compiles in the server, and start the release process: deploy the installer and start the installation process using the tool RunCommandLine, I add the required parameters to the setup.exe so it will install the application silently.....but I got a timeout so the release was rejected. I check the machine and found that the setup.exe was still running 0% CPU usage.....very strange.</p>
  
  <p>Checking the build log I found that the command line used by msbuild to launch the release process is something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Release Management\Client\bin\ReleaseManagementBuild.exe -tfs "http://tfs:8080/tfs/Mycollection" -tp "Project1" -bd "Mybuild" -bn "Mybuild_20150623_15.1.0.9" -ts "QA" -nologo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I ran it, and the behavior was the same: the installer got stuck...0% CPU Usage.....Release rejected by timeout.....</p>
  
  <p>So...I open <strong>Release Management Client</strong> look for the recently created release, and click in the option "<strong>Retry failed deployment</strong>"....It works!!!! the installer install!!! it does not hangs!!!</p>
  
  <p>I was able to reproduce this behavior several times:</p>
  
  <p>Release launched from Release Management Console......Works</p>
  
  <p>Release launched from ReleaseManagementBuild.exe .......Does not works (Setup.exe hangs)</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestion??</p>
