Behavior of silent installer not completely specified

On page 3 of the "Adobe AIR 1.5 Runtime Redistribution Instructions" under "Silent installation" states in part:
The AIR application installer installs the correct version of Adobe AIR on the target computer, as required by the AIR application to be installed. For example, if the AIR application to be installed requires the AIR 1.1 runtime, and the end users computer has only AIR 1.0 installed (or no version of AIR installed), the installation process installs the AIR 1.1 runtime along with the AIR application.
and then:
To install or update the runtime only, use the -silent option without specifying a path or any other options.
However, the instruction do not specify what happens in the following case:
+ The -silent option is used to update the runtime only.
+ The user already has a newer version of AIR on his/her computer than what is about to be installed.
What happens in this case? Does the installer:
A) Do nothing and exit successfully?
B) Downgrade the user's installed AIR version?
C) Exit with an error code, message, or dialog?
D) Something else??

When a newer version of the runtime is already installed, the installer (running in silent mode) does nothing and exits.
Note that to install Adobe AIR silently, you must contact Adobe and request an Adobe AIR runtime redistribution license. It sounds like you have already done this, Paul, but I just want others to know. Here are details:

Installation not complete

I am trying to install Solaris 10 on AMD XP processor.
My problem is the installation is not complete. Means, after booting from CD 1 everthing works well, installation program reboots and after rebooting prompts for CD 2. First time it was thorough with CD 2 and in CD 3 after finishing 36% the system hangs. I had to switch of the machine. After rebooting, it prompts for CD 3 again, I say SKIP., then it goes for CD 4 but again it hangs after 55 % of CD 4.
I just don't understand why this happens. I had allocated about 30 GB for solaris partition. I have 1GB RAM.

Thanks for letting me know Hkitty .
I don't believe it would be a issue with the PDF, since you can't print from Word either.
You can always restore your computer back to a earlier time when everything was working properly.
System Restore for Windows 7.
Here are a couple more things you can check first, if you like.
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address.
Printing a Configuration Report.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the router, computer and printer.
Check the port assigned to the printer on the computer.
Go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click the printer and left click Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
It should be checked on TCP/IP.
Then click on Configure Port to view the IP address.
If the IP address doesn't match the printer's IPv4, then create a new port with the new IPv4 address.
Close the configure port window.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
Make sure the printer is online.
Try printing again.
Please let me know the results.
Thank You.

Silent installation not so silent

I am trying to perform a silent installation of discoverer desktop 10g. I can create a response file with the "-record" option, and i have also selected just discoverer desktop. Everything works fine.. except that at the end of the installation, the dosbox that is opened tells me: "Press enter to exit". I do not want this. I want a fully automated silent installation. I already tried to change all the options to false inside the response file but i doesn't help.
Has anybody ever experienced this and found a solution?

isn't there anyone who experienced this before? I know this is not a discoverer topic, but there is no other installation topic available. And since all the installers in oracle are the same...
This has to be possible. I cannot imagine that oracle hasn't thought about this.

Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro - silent install not completely silent

Hello,
I am trying to create an installer for Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro. I have used the customization wizard to create a transform file for the install and specified it to be silent. However, it appears that windows are still opening in the background when the installer runs, which causes our automated installer service to close out of the install thinking the installer is "broken."
Is there an easy way to make the installer completely, 100% silent?
The command is currently:
if exist [file generated to determine if a prior uninstall was sucessful] (msiexec /i "[PATH]Adobe Acrobat Pro\Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro\AcroPro.msi" /qn CLIENTUILEVEL=0 TRANSFORMS=[PATH]\Adobe Acrobat Pro\Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro\AcroPro.mst" /l*v "[PATH]\adobe.log")
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Drew
EDIT: The windows opening look like they are deleting some dll files. If anyone knows a workaround, that's be great.

Answered this in your other post. Please only post once per issue. Here is the response I put in that thread:
"If you are installing on a machine that Acrobat 10 previously then this is likely deleting the old Adobe PDF Printer files if anything instead of the Setup files. I don't believe there is a way to change this behavior."

Installation not completed - error at step# 10

I was not able to get past step #10 to establish a passcode because it came up with an "error in configuration" and would not let me proceed. Yet, even though I just had to exit without completing installation, now all of my family is able to connect wirelessly with our laptops and all seems fine, but did I miss any important steps after #10 that will cause problems in use later? This router is installed in a vacation rental a long distance from our home so I want to make sure it is correct before we leave.

hi...
actually sometimes it does happen.....
but to make sure that the router has properly connected get in to the interface go to the status and check if yOu can get an IPaddress and DNS from there...

Installation not completed

Around 6 months ago Verizon came to my apartment building and cut holes in the walls, wired and set up jacks, (over 100 units) I recently received word our area is good for the installation, so I called and set up an appointment, the tech arrived and about 2 hours into the install tells me he cannot finish the job because my apartment is not grounded, he then called Verizon and explained the problem, a few minutes later I received a call from Verizon stating this has to be taken care of by the landlord, when I notified the landlord he told me no way is he going to rewire the building.
Verizon I am a little upset and I think you dropped the ball on this, if before you spent the time and money cutting holes installing jacks you should have mentioned there was specifications that needed to be met first, now you do this work and expect the landlord to meet your specifications to finish the job, that doesn't seem right. You have lost the business, lost time and money, the technician lost the install, I lost a days work. And I still have no fios.
This should not have happened, There must be something that can be done to resolve this. This will be a problem in the future and needs to be addressed.
Thank you for your time.

{edited for privacy}

Recently several states have changed the electrical codes with some very strict requirements regarding grounding. Especially NY. And even though Verizon installed all of the phone jacks and such, they dont do electrical, so they may not have even known at the time. If during the ONT installation, there is not the new required ground available, they are not allowed to continue until the building is brought up to code. Now quite honestly, this is a complete guess as we dont know what happened in your specific case but as this has been a fairly common issue since the grounding requirements change in some states, its a fair guess.

Lion installer not completing

After downloading the Lion installer from the App Store, I tried to install over 10.6.8. Several attempts have failed. After maybe 3 minutes of running, the installer leaves me in the disk utility screen, with no way out except to choose one of 4 options, none of which are useful. If I quit the disk utility, I wind up booting in 10.6.8. My only guess is that the App Store download is flawed, but I see no way to repeat the download. Any ideas?

Update: I contacted Apple Support through the Express Lane option and was called by a rep. After listening to my problem he bounced me to a senior advisor. I have so far spent over 2 hours on the phone and much more on my own trying everything under the sun. The most recent was to do a clean installation of Snow Leopard on an unused disk partition, upgrade to 10.6.8, and try to install Lion. In every case it fails in exactly the same way. So far the installation log has been no help to the guy. What I was calling Disk Utilities is actually Os X Utilities, with 4 options other than quitting. The only option worth trying is to re-install OS X, which simply loops around to the same failure. I have sent him a dump from Profiler, but so far he sees nothing wrong with anything.

HP Solution Center device installation not complete

I have a PhotoSmart C7280 all-in-one printer running as an Ethernet networked printer. My personal PC is an HP Pavilion Slimline s5280t running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I've had the printer for longer than I've had the Pavilion. I use HP Solution Center at least once a month to copy documents to PDF for a volunteer job I have. Yesterday I tried to use it, and got the "device installation not complete" error. Uninstalling and reinstalling HP Solution Center didn't work. I did some research on the forums, and found the discussion of "the folders that start with 7Z."
I ran the Uninstall_L3.bat last night. It uninstalled everything. I then downloaded the drivers from the HP site, again. When I ran the install, it failed because "a file is missing." It didn't say what file. It created a "solution" for me, basically of going through all the steps to make sure that the printer and router were working (they are) and the printer was on the network (it is). I then downloaded the drivers AGAIN and AGAIN got a "file missing" error on the install. And my printer has been uninstalled. And I have a NEW suggestion from HP that I should reinstall after turning off all my startup tasks and rebooting.
If the driver package for the C7280 is defective, and right now I'd bet money that it is, telling me to turn off my startup list, which hasn't changed in months, is not going to help. Because my printer is out of warranty (hey, my PC is out of warranty), I don't expect any help from HP. I'm hoping that some other user will be able to suggest something that will work. I'm about ready to go back to the CD that came with the printer and install from that. Help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sorry you have had such a difficult time getting Solution Center to work. You have certainly done all the basic and advanced steps to get this to work. I always keep a forum post stored on my computer that takes troubleshooting Solution Center to a different level of advanced.
--Problems Installing HP Solution Center - SOLUTION FOUND!--
I recommend reading this post thoroughly to review the comments and see how the steps play out and how certain problems are exposed. It certainly discusses the missing files you referenced.
I usually just scan using Paint or Windows Fax and Scan once I can print as it is just a little easier than working in the registry of an HP computer. So please do be careful if you choose to go into the registry.
First thing's first, I recommend creating another User Account in the Control panel with admin rights, then running the installation disk in the second user account before attempting anything in the above forum post. This will eliminate any conflicts from previous attempts on the main User Account.
I really hope this works for you! Let me know of any error messages you may get during the installation with the disk.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
Every problem has a solution!

Have a look through the pages of pages of requests for help on installing Adobe Air apps on Windows 7 machines. What you'll find is that Adobe has duped a lot of people into doing basic testing on a vehicle that it should have tested thoroughly itself before release. So you'll find lengthy, highly technical and apparently idiosyncratic install logs posted, and then every once in a while Chris Campbell, Adobe's rep, comes online and says something like "Ho Hum. It doesn't seem to work. What you need to do is stand on your head while drinking a gallon of gasoline and singing through your ears. Why don't you spend another 20 hours trying that?"
Amazing. Could you imagine a supposedly legitimate company jerking people like this 50 years ago?
Don't waste your time. Air doesn't work. Find an alternative to Adobe products instead.
I wonder how long this will stay posted before somebody removes it.
Hello,
I understand the frustration, believe me, I really do. Unfortunately, while we do thoroughly test installers we do run into system specific issues from time to time. I do my best to help users, going out of my way to do desktop sharing sessions (at all times of the day and night to accomidate our global user base), creating repair scripts, etc. But you are correct, sometimes it does get technical and we do require the installer log to figure out what might be failing. I apologize if I wasn't able to solve your problem in the past, if you can point me to a post where I didn't follow through I'd be happy to re-read it and see if we can make progress.
I promise I won't remove your post, I just ask that you keep the responses polite and try not to get personal.
Thanks,

Silent Installation of Dreamweaver 3 NOT CS3

Hi everyone,
I've been tasked to create a silent installation for a load
of old pieces of software. Many of these are old Macromedia or
Adobe stuff. One of the ones i'm having trouble with is Dreamweaver
3 - does anyone know of any way of silently installing this?
cheers
Nivor

Why would you want to? Its javascript is so out of date, that
many of the
behaviors will not work with contemporary browsers.

Requesting documentation or tool(s) to create a completely silent installation of Adobe Presenter 9

I have several computers I need to install Adobe Presentor on, is their a way to install Presentor 9 silently. Let me be perfectly clear, NO USER INTERACTION, NO SCREENS, NO LOGINS. I have ran into to many companies that do not understand the true concept of SILENT INSTALLS.
Thank you,

Hi,
Greetings from Adobe.
Yes you can perform silent installtion of Adobe Presenter 9 using CCP(Creative Cloud Packager). CCP will be available in your LWS website(www.licensing.adobe.com) . Download CCP from LWS website and create a package for Presenter 9.
Note: Make sure that the If you are using 64 bit OS then you have to create 64 bit package and if you are using 32 bit OS then you may need to create 32 bit package. Also this process is only applicable for 32 bit Powerpoint.
Please refer to the below link for more information of CCP:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/creating-packages.html
After creating the package:
Steps to follow to deploy silently on single machine:
1. Open CMD in Administrator mode.
2. Give the path till inside the build folder of the package. For Example if the build is saved on your Desktop the path in CMD should be as below:
                     C:\Users\[username]\Desktop\Packagefolder\packagename\Build>
3. Now type the following installation command: msiexec.exe /i packagename.msi /quiet
4. Launch Task Manager.
5.There will be three process of “msiexec.exe”
a)   6.One will be under System
b)   7.Other Two will be under [username].
8.Installation will be completed once both the process of msiexec.exe under the [username] are finished.
9.The installation process with take 5 to 10 minutes

I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.

Adobe Flashplayer not responding even after the download says the installation is complete

I have tried to go on several websites and view content - Youtube, Slacker, and some websites that I need for educational purposes. When I try to view contact or upload a song, I get a message stating that I need the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to do so. I have been through this process several times today, but each time that I download the Adobe Flash Player, it tells me that the installation is complete; however, I am still unable to view content or listen to the songs. I have restarted my computer several times and that hasn't worked. I can see that the Flashplay is listed on my add or remove programs in the control panel, but it is not responding when I enter into these websites. I have called technical support a couple of times today with no resolution to my problem. PLEASE HELP!!!! What can I do? Thanks

Hi td, So glad that worked for you. That is always the first thing to look for as the SWO must be there and be the correct version, it is an absolute! Without that, FP will not work and you can take that to the bank:-) A lot of users get in trouble by trying every suggestion and dig a deeper hole and then it takes a lot of time and effort to recover.
The process of a successful uninstall of the old FP and the install of the latest version, if followed is really easy. Most problems occur because some steps aren't followed.
Adobe has the next FP update in Beta now, when it will come out I don't know, but post back if you like if you have any questions at that time. Preventive action is always easier than the cure, believe me. But with yours it appears you did a
good job of installing the FP update.
Thanks for marking this thread answered, it helps those looking for similar issues.

Windows could not complete the installation recovery error message with HP recovery discs

While doing a system recovery on an HP G72-b50US notebook using HP purchased recovery DVD's, the reboot "Welcome" screen always (tried 5 recovery attempts from scratch) generates the error message "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on theis compuiter, restart the installation". any attempt at a reboot, even into safe mode, regenerates this same error message. How does this get fixed to allow completion of the installation process?

I wish I could tell you.
I also used the HP factory recovery disks on an 8200 Elite CMT. I used them once before with no problem.
The second time was a show-stopper. The recovery process would ask for all 4 disks, then the recovery installation would begin, reboot continue on, everything normal.
Then on the last reboot, when the recovery program stated it was configuring windows, it just quit and stated Windows could not complete the installation.
I made sure that I had absolutely nothing connected to the PC except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.
The only thing I can possibly think of was that I installed a Radeon HD 6570 video card which I replaced the Radeon HD 6350 card with. However, both cards are supported in the PC, and I cannot remember if I did the restore with the 6350 the last time or the 6570.
Now, the reason the ISO file will work is because this is a plain and simple Microsoft Windows 7 ISO file--the very same one that you download when you purchase W7 online from the very same download site.
It is not PC-specific and will install on any PC in the world.
A recovery disk is PC-specific, and is a very complicated mish-mash of programs, drivers, operating system, all customized for your specific model PC. Even something like installing a new hard drive or memory can foul up the works.
The downside of using the plain MS disk is the only programs and drivers you can install are the ones found on your notebook's support and driver page.
The upside of using the plain W7 installation, is you normally end up with a better performing PC, free of bloatware and unnecessary running processes.
For someone like me, it is a non-issue, but for others, they may miss some of the included software.
But that is better than having a computer that is of no value with no operating system installed, wouldn't you agree?
