I'm considering buying Lightroom and have downloaded the trial version, but I can't install it.  I get the following<br />Command Line Parameters:<br /><br />/L language ID<br />/S Hide initialization dialog. For silent mode use: /S/v/qn<br />/V parameters to MSIExec.ese<br />/UA<url to InstMsiA.exe><br />/UW<url to InstMsiW.exe><br />/UM<url to msi package><br /><br />Please help.  I don't know what this means<br /><br />thanks

Hi Cherie,
Here's how you do it.
1. Start the installation from the downloaded file or the CD.
2. You will have a folder Lightroom 2.0.
3. In that folder go to the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 folder.
4. Right click on "setup32.exe" and drag it to release it anywhere in the empty space.
5. You will get 3 options.
6. Choose the "Create Shortcut here" option.
7. Once the shortcut is created, right-click on the shortcut and choose properties.
8. In the target area, which might look some thing like this "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\Adobe\Lightroom 2.0\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\setup32.exe" go to the end of the line and add "/s" without the quotes.
9. The same line would look <"C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\Adobe\Lightroom 2.0\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\setup32.exe" /s>
10. Click on Apply and then on OK.
11. Double -click on the shortcut and the program will install.
12. Try it! Thought the steps appear lengthy, they worked on the 3 PCs that I tried on. :)
