In general, Replicate installation or Enterprise manager installation uses Installshield. When running installation with Installshield , the code -3 means that 'Required data not found in the ISS file'.
This usually happens when you try to install same version twice.
In general, when running InstallShield on a version that is already installed ( in the second time you try to install same package) it automatically tries to run uninstall the product. Therfore is you use same iss file as the one used for silent installation of the product, the second time you run silent installation the iss file doesn't match as it is expected to include parameters that matches unistall while it actually includes parameters for installation process. In this case the silent installaiton will end with return code -3 which means : 'Required data not found in the ISS file'.
