> #### Creating the response file manually

> You can create and edit a response file in any text editor by adding necessary sections in a predefined order.

> To create a response file manually:

> 1. Create a new text file using any text editor.
> 2. Enter response file required sections in the following order, noting that section names are contained in brackets:
> 1. Silent Header Section [InstallShield Silent].
> 2. Application Header Section [Application].
> 3. Dialog Data Sections, for example [Welcome Dialog-0].
> 3. Edit the necessary data within each section name. Data entries consist of `name=value` pairs, such as `Dlg0=Welcome-0`.
> 4. Save and close the response file.

> The following sample shows what a response file looks like.
