This can occur when you did not put the proper path for the install. Please confirm when running the silent installation flags, you include the path of install file and installer_input.txt file.

For example:

_./install -inputFile installer_input.txt_

OR

_<fullpath>/install -inputFile <fullpath>/installer_input.txt_

./install -inputFile installer_input.txt

The leading and trailing _ had to do with the way that italics is formatted here.
