How to silently install Reader 9.3.1 RPM in RHEL 5.4?

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.4 (32-bit). I need to install the AdbeRdr9.3-1_i486linux_enu.rpm on multiple machines nearly everyday.
Is there a way to install this RPM silently? In other words, accept the license agreement from the command line rather than having GUI windows pop up?
The only documentation I have found on this subject so far has been restricted to Windows environments.
Is a silent and automated installation possible for RHEL?

Could you please post a screenshot of the Add/Remove Programs listings. I guess, the prior installation had been corrupted and hence, couldnt be removed by the new update and hence, the two entries.
Please try ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ's suggestions as above to remove the corrupted installations.

How to silently install and set default settings

I need to deploy FireFox 16.0.2 to a bunch of Windows computers and set some default settings. Is there a good article that can walk me through it?
I also need to set the home page, have it not check for the default browser, and disable updates. The -ms option does silently install FireFox so I guess I just need to know how to configure FireFox for our environment and push out those settings with the install.
I have versions ranging from 1 to 15. Do those old versions need to be removed first or can 16.0.2 be installed over what is already there? Is there an uninstall switch for this so that I can create a package to remove it?

hello jmoody76 - you can manage central settings with the mozilla.cfg file in the firefox program folder. this article gives some guidance on how to implement that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
i think it may work to just install the new versions on top of the older ones (though i'm not sure if this has any unintended side effects on those very old installations) or according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments it's possible to run a silent uninstall through the setup executable by /S.

How do I install Reader to a PC that is not internet connected?

I have a PC that is not connected to the internet. How can I install Adobe Reader on it, as a normal installation goes directly from adobe.com to the PC. I could download the software to a memory stick but there does not seem to be a single file available for this. I have tried copying the contents of all the Reader files across to this PC, but as I expected, that does not work. Please advise

Hello David,
Adobe Reader's offline download for Windows see: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/
There you click through to the most current, complete offline version of the Adobe Reader. This installation file, you can carry around easily e.g. on a USB stick and also install on PCs that do not have Internet access.
An important decision during the installation relates to the updates, therefore you should use the last option
Good luck!

How to silently install CSA using .wsf script

I created an agent kit that does a quiet install, so it doesn't prompt the user, but it does display a couple of status boxes. It is possible to do a completely silent install? The config guide indicates that it can be done but doesn't give an example. I'm using the command "oExec = wshShell.Run ("CSA-setup.exe", 0, true)" in a .wsf file, where CSA-setup.exe is the agent kit file from the CSA MC.

You should be able to write
CSA-setup.exe /s --autolevel=1 --noreboot=1

Can't install updates due to how admin/silent install was built

We finally dabbled with doing a silent/admin install for our Photoshop CS6 rollout. We thought everything worked great until we tried to do the check for updates from the menu, and it gave us a message saying that we couldn't.
I think what happened was when we built the admin/silent install, there was an option about updates. What we wanted to avoid was having the users (who don't have permissions to install the updates) getting prompted that an update was available. What I think we did was somehow made it so updates can't be downloaded/installed at all.
Is there a way to change the update behavior on each machine? Or do we have to uninstall Photoshop, then build a new silent installer package with a different option and reinstall it? I really hope there's a way to just change the setting somehow via the registry or a file.

Have you tried using the Creative Cloud Packager to edit your previous package? I've never tried it myself to see if it will give yoiu access to make changes.
If that option isn't available I believe there is a '.dat' file in the '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/' folder on Macs that I can delete to re-enable software updates (may be CC only though). I imagine there is a similar file on a PC that could be deleted or temporarily relocated or renamed to achieve the same result.

How to silently install SSCERuntime

Hi,
using the WiX - installer I would like to silently install SQL Server Compact unattended using the following Settings:
<PackageGroup Id="EmbeddedSql">
<ExePackage
InstallCommand="/quiet"
RepairCommand="/quiet"
UninstallCommand="/uninstall /quiet"
SourceFile="<.. my path ..>\SSCERuntime_x64-DEU.exe"
InstallCondition="VersionNT64"/>
<ExePackage
InstallCommand="/quiet"
RepairCommand="/quiet"
UninstallCommand="/uninstall /quiet"
SourceFile="<.. my path ..>\SSCERuntime_x86-DEU.exe"
InstallCondition="NOT VersionNT64"/>
</PackageGroup>
But the installation fails. The MSI Installer window pops up showing me
the possible option, among which I see "/quiet" ... which
I am using.What would be the right "commands" to achieve this goal?Regards
Rainer

Hi Erik,
thanks for responding to my question!
I prefer to use the official setups for two reasons:
In case there is a update it seams to be easier to deploy them along with my project
Since I have no control on the target system it is - for me - easier to handle whether to install the 64bit or 32 bit Version
In the meanwhile I actually achieved a silent installation. I extracted the msi form the .exe and used a MsiPackage insteadd of ExePackage. It now looks like this:
<PackageGroup Id="EmbeddedSql">
<MsiPackage
Visible="yes"
Permanent="yes"
SourceFile="<..myPath..>\SSCERuntime_x64-DEU.msi"
InstallCondition="VersionNT64"/>
<MsiPackage
Permanent="yes"
Visible="yes"
SourceFile="<..myPath..>\SSCERuntime_x86-DEU.msi"
InstallCondition="NOT VersionNT64"/>
</PackageGroup>

How do i install reader in a Virtual Machine

I am a developer and need to install reader in an XP virtual machine running upon my Windows 7 desktop
I need to test out acrobat and IE 8
It gets to 34% downloaded and then fails.
In the xp machine i have turned off the firewall and removed the anti virus software
In the windows 7 machine i have turned off the firewall and turned off the anti virus software
Any other suggestions?

Download it on the host machine from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/, then copy it into VM. Or run it in VM directly from the host folder.

How do i install reader on os x 10.9.4?

hi guys i am having problems downloading and installing the latest update of reader and flash on my mac?

as the original question stated "I'm having problems downloading and installing reader" so yeah i kinda did say it earlier.
when i was trying to download it from the adobe reader download page i was having problems installing it. the process bar hangs and the whole installer is not responding. turns out that i think the .pkg file is missing from the installer because if you follow the instructions that they tell you to do, the files are not there. but when you download it directly from the tiny little link button that you have to search through pages and pages of things you will eventually find it!!!

[How To] Silent Install | Adobe Reader 11.0.1

Download the latest Adobe Reader exe from FTP
- ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/
- 11.x > 11.0.01 > en_US > AdbeRdr11001_en_US.exe
** I recommend using a VM for the following **
Copy the EXE to your virtual machine.
Run the EXE, but do not click 'Next'
Go to Start and run and type '%ProgramData%\Adobe\Setup' and hit OK.
Here you will find the extracted installation files in a folder '{AC76.....}'
Copy these files to another location.
Once copied to another location, you can cancel the setup.
Open the 'AcroRead.msi' in Adobe Customization Wizard XI.Adobe Customization Wizard XI download.ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/11.0.00/misc/CustWiz11000_en_US.exe
Make any changes necessary for your environment.Such as Silent, accept EULA, supress reboot, disable product updates, etc.
Once all changes are complete, go to 'Transform' and then 'Generate Transform'
Save this file as 'AcroRead.mst' in the same directory.
Go to file and 'Save Package' to save the MSI.
The setup.ini will now include 'TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst'
Being that you made the customized MST file, you can now run the 'Setup.exe' and it will pull whatever settings you created. If you chose to do silent, it will run as that. You can now deploy this through SCCM as a package, or deploy through Group Policy.
This is one method for producing a deployable package. Option 2 is downloading the latest MSP from the FTP and applying through the main 11.0.0 MSI. There will not be one MSI provided from Adobe for updates such as this, but rather the additional MSP files.
I hope this helps.

Updated version to deploy updates and customizations through GPO:
    Download the latest Adobe Reader Multilingual msi installer and msp updates:
- http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows
- Adobe Reader 11.0 - Multilingual (MUI) installer         135MB         10/14/2012
- Adobe Reader 11.0.01 update - Multilingual (MUI) installer     10.5 MB     1/8/2013
    Copy these files to the same location.
    Open the 'AcroRead.msi' in Adobe Customization Wizard XI.
        Adobe Customization Wizard XI download.
            ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/11.0.00/misc/CustWiz110 00_en_US.exe
    Make any changes necessary for your environment.
        Such as Language, Silent, accept EULA, supress reboot, disable product updates, etc...
    Once all changes are complete, go to 'Transform' and then 'Generate Transform'
    Save this file as 'AcroRead.mst' in the same directory.
    Go to file and 'Save Package' to save the MSI.
    On your local computer, launch this command to encapsulate the .msp update into the .msi installer from a DOS command prompt :
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp
    Copy the folder in a share and configure GPO using the msi package and mst file
