Creating an unattended install of 10.6?

Hello all!
I'd like to create a DVD or USB stick with a version of the Mac OS 10.6 installer that will perform the installation of the os and, possibly, go through the setup steps in the setup assistant using pre-defined data for the various options. I haven't found anything online describing how to create a Mac OS X unattended install, but I'm assuming it must be possible somehow. So, please, could anyone tell me how it's done or refer me to a place where I can find more about it?
Thanks!
Robin

Servus!
I don’t think that this is possible or done easily, but I would suggest to simply install it once by hand the way you need it. Afterwards you can clone it and restore the image on as many Macs as you like. Just keep in mind to not use a static IP or you’ll get problems.
The best way to accomplish this is by using CCC: http://www.bombich.com/

Unattended install with Retail Key/DVD

Hi,
Another daft question that I hope someone can answer and save mne finding out the hard way!?
Can I use an answer file to create an unattended install of Vista (with SP1) but using retail media and retail key, or does this only work with OEM key/media?
Reason for asking is that I have five idenical test PC's to set-up with Vista SP1 for some trials on file transfers etc and it wouldn't half be easier if I could do these unattended?
Thanks
Ridesy

Yes. It should work on OEM media as it is using the same WIM image.

Adobe Acrobat X Unattended Install not working

I created and Windows bundle to install Acrobat X via a custom msi and I removed the "qn" switch. I used the Acrobat customizer to customize the install, to include unattended install but show progress bar and prompt for reboot. If I run the file on a PC locally it works fine, but the bundle makes the user go through the dialog boxes with all the correct settings already in place. With the /qn it works. I want the users to see the progress. Yes, they're too dumb and/or lazy to use the Zenworks icon to check the progress.

Change /qn to /qb+

Unattended Install of Captivate 4

This question was posted but marked as solved. I'm starting a new one sinceI can't get this working per the other thread's solution.
I've followed this document http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/openoptions/pdfs/manualenterprisedeployment_cs4_ help.pdf
During install time the installer halts at the serial number screen after running this command
setup.exe --deploymentfile="install.xml"
the install.xml file is supposed to apply the product key which was specified at the time the xml file was created. I have verified that the product key is in the xml itself.
I have also created the application.xml.override file within this folder "...\payloads\AdobeCaptivate4en_US\" with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="EULA">-1</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>
has anyone got this to work so it can be an unattended install? I don't need a silent install, just hands-off for the user and without the user entering the product key.
Thanks

Hi SAGinwalla,
You can enable the built-in Administrator account during unattended installations by setting the AutoLogon setting to Administrator in the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup component. This will enable the
built-in Administrator account, even if a password is not specified in the AdministratorPassword setting. You can try to do not specify a password for built-in Administrator account.
I would suggest you create another account to auto logon, based on my test, I use the answer file for Windows 8, if I use domain account, I can successfully auto log on.

Unattended install of a .air applications - how to

I have a Adobe Air application ( .air) that I need to install across multiple machines.
Is there anyway to do a unattended install?
This would be on Mac OS Based computers and I have access to Apple Remote Desktop so I can copy and start the installer application on each machine, but right now it stops at the security screen like the one shown below and I have to visit each computer to complete.
Thank you
Mark

Unattended install or Oracle9iR2 using responseFile on RHEL3

Hi,
I am following this document to do the Oracle9iR2 install on RHEL3: http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
The Manual installation went fine for me. But my requirement is to do an Unattended install so that I can write a script and deploy to the do further installations on machines.
1) Following the same document, I create:
--- Oracle users ---
groupadd dba # group of users to be granted with SYSDBA system privilege
groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle
--- Oracle directories ---
mkdir -p /opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
chown -R oracle.oinstall /opt/app/oracle
mkdir /var/opt/oracle
chown oracle.dba /var/opt/oracle
chmod 755 /var/opt/oracle
2) The Following are choices which I make in manual install ( and I need the same in responseFile also)
/mnt/cdrom/runInstaller
- Welcome Screen: Click Next
- Inventory Location: Click Next
- Unix Group Name: Use "oinstall" and click Next
When asked to run /tmp/orainstRoot.sh, run it before you click Continue
- File Locations: Use default values
- Available Products: Select "Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0"
- Installation Types: Select Custom since we only want to install the software for now
- Available Products: Click Next or add some more components.
- Components Locations: Accept default values and click Next
- Privileged Operating System Groups:
I used the default values: OSDBA Group = dba, OSOPER Group = dba
- Oracle Managent Server Repository:
I used the default choice
- Create database: Select NO since we first have to patch Oracle before a database can be created!
- Summary: Start the Install
- Configuration tools: Tools won't come up. Simply ignore it.
- At the end of the installation, exit runInstaller.
I copied custom.rsp into the home directory and modified the following:
UNIX_GROUP_NAME= oinstall
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/app/oracle/
ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OUIHome
and left the other entries in the response file (custom.rsp) as such.
When I do an unattended install using responseFile, the screen does not proceed.
The Universal Installer comes up and there is no progress!. ( Next is not pressed in the unattended fashion).
Can someone share with me a working copy of a responsefile which does an unattended custom install? I assume what is the response directory should be working one, but I am unable to figure out where I have gone wrong.
Where do I give OSDBAGroup = dba values? and how do I make it to go from one screen to next?
Thanks in advance.
Senthil

But my requirement is to do an Unattended install so that I can write a script and deploy to the do further installations on machines.Why write? You can record your own responfile (during manual install) and use it for future installs.
./runInstaller -record -destinationFile /tmp/myinstall.rsp

HIS 2013 HISServerConfig.xml example location and unattended install question

Hello,
I've never used the unattended part of the installer but wanted to give it a try. The installation guide refers to an example in the support\unattended_installs folder. I don't see that folder or file on the media I down loaded.
The guild also instructs to "save" the configuration during setup to create my own xml. I didn't see a "save" but tried using an export during my test unattended install but that didn't work. I would appreciate any help/information.
Thanks, Jim.

Hi Jim,
you are right. Unlike stated in the Installation guide this folder doesn't exist.
Anyway, here it goes:
When you install HIS the latest Setup/configuration screen will provide a link to create a XML file. Anyway, exporting the XML file out of the configuration utility will create the reference XML of your current installation and configuration.
You may modify the XML file according to the required settings of your new Server by changing the subdomain name, role, etc....
Also please note that we do not store the password in the XML file for security reasons, so you need to add this manually.
Once done, please run a similar command according to you settings as below:
Setup.exe /InstallPlatform /L c:\HISInstall.log /S c:\HISServerConfig.xml /INSTALLDIR C:\HIS Configuration.exe /L c:\ConfigFramework.Log /S c:\HISServerConfig.xml
Options
The following table describes the command options.
/InstallPlatform
This flag causes the installation program to install any platform prerequisites.
/L c:\HISInstall.log
This flag determines the log file location that is created during setup.
/S C:\HISServerConfig.xml
This flag specifies the configuration file (list of features) that is used on installation. The file "HISServerConfig.xml" contains information about which features to install and how they should be configured. Sample copies of these files are located
in the Support\Unattended_Installs directory of the installation folder. This file can also be created during setup by clicking Save in the summary panel of the Configuration Tool.
/INSTALLDIR
This option tells Setup where to install the product.
The Setup.exe installs all required binaries according to you reference installation while the configuration.exe configures you HIS Server the same as the reference configuration.
Hope that helps

MouseSuite Unattended install hangs.

I am trying to deploy the latest MouseSuite to a ThinkCenter M55. I am using the command line unattended install parameters as outlined in the accompanying readme; however, each and every time I try to install the drivers the setup process hangs. I have left it run for an hour without any change. So instead of running the install in "silent" mode I ran it interactive with the other parameters /TYPE:USB and /nr (no-reboot). Low and behold the installer is looking for input from the user for which side of the keyboard the mouse is on. Left or right. Can someone please give me the missing command line string?
Thanks.

Hi SAGinwalla,
You can enable the built-in Administrator account during unattended installations by setting the AutoLogon setting to Administrator in the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup component. This will enable the
built-in Administrator account, even if a password is not specified in the AdministratorPassword setting. You can try to do not specify a password for built-in Administrator account.

Please help with unattended install

Has anyone got this to work unattended? This is one of the worst installers I've have to deal with. Why can't I just have the customization wizard like with Adobe Reader?
We have a volume license key for this, so I can't just give the key and the installer out to the users to install themselves, as a result, I'm stuck since this just doesn't work per the recommended documentation. I followed the document per Adobe found here: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/openoptions/pdfs/manualenterprisedeployment_cs4_help.pdf <-- Adobe claims that the same doc for Creative Suite can be followed per Captivate
This is what I did, step by step.
1. Extracted the original .exe I got from our Adobe volume license site yielding what would appear to be the same thing as what's on the CD
2. Ran setup.exe --record=1
3. Stepped through the wizard, entering the license key and accepting the EULA.
4. I now have both the "Adobe Captivate 4.install.xml" and "Adobe Captivate 4.remove.xml"
5. I renamed the xml files to install.xml and remove.xml, respectively
6. Copied the xml files into the root folder containing "Setup.exe"
7. Created a "application.xml.override" file containing the following (saved as UTF-8):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="EULA">-1</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>
**From what I can tell, I should now have what I need to do an unattended install**
8. Tried to install using the following command:
"setup.exe" --deploymentFile="install.xml"
**Completely useless. This simply launched the installer and halted at the product key window**
9. Tried to install using the silent tag with this command:
"setup.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile="install.xml"
**Again, completely useless. This bombed out at the command line with "Exit Code: 7" **
According to Adobe, this means "Unable to complete the silent workflow"
Can anyone shed some light on why this isn't working for me?
!!UPDATE!!
I tried adding this line to the override xml file. I tried the key with and without the dashes and neither seemed to make a difference.
<Data key="Serial" protected="0">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</Data>

OK, I finally got to the bottom of this mess....
#1 - When the --record=1 tag "recorded" the installation and created the install.xml file, it added a line which specified the installation media path (which was pointed explicitly to my desktop since that's where I ran setup --record=1 from). I had to remove that line
#2 - It detected that the cpu was 64bit (regardless of the fact that the OS was 32-bit) and appended a line in the install.xml file indicating such. I had to remove that line
#3 - It appears that the installation call is case-sensitive! "Setup.exe" --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="install.xml"
Finally #4 - I wanted this to be "unattended" vs "silent" which apparently can't be done (so I heard). If you want to hide your product key and have the users not be involved with the installation itself, you HAVE to use the silent tag.
Dear Adobe,
Absolutely terrible

Commands to copy apps to local drive from networkshare and installing via unattend install

Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of deploying and testing Windows 8.1 with different settings via unattended answer file. I would like to test out with another settings during unattended install but I'm having a hard time to implement it. Here is the scenario, I've a
server named WDS-DEP-SERV with a hard drive portioned into 2. One is C and other is E. On my E drive, I've a bunch of .exe apps saved. I would like my unattended answer file to pull those .exe apps over to the local drive from network share and install them
as the unattended install takes place. I'm looking for a command that can help me achieve it in a silent mode. During testing before, I was able to have my unattended file to pull VMware tools drivers from network share under RunSynchronousCommand parameter
with domain credentials of the network share and it installed successfully. For example, like this below.
\\WDS-DEP-SERV\E\Distribution\Drivers\setup64.exe /s /v "/qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /l C:\Windows\Temp\vmware_tools_install.log
I was searching online and came across a lot of things but none answered what I'm looking for. Can someone please reply back with the answers on how can I implement it in my unattended file.
1) To be able to have unattended file pulling drivers from network share, copy them over to local drive during unattended installation process and execute them silently. I need a command to pull this off.
2) What pass should I use in unattended file?
3) So far, I've used RunSynchronouscommand under Windows Deployement Neutral during "Specialize" pass to install just VMware tools. Is there a way to execute all apps in one go instead of doing it one at a time via Synchronouscommand? Please
correct me if I'm wrong, Is it true every time you use Synchronouscommands for various different apps or scripts to pull from network share, you'll have to use network credentials under each and every Synchronouscommands section. Like, if I add 4 SyncrhonousCommands
to the unattended file to pull 4 different apps or scripts from network share, I must provide network share credentials for each of those. Can it be just one time network share credentials under those and they all get pulled and executed during unattended
install?
Again, please if someone can get back to help me out. I would really appreciate it. Hope to hear from someone soon. Below is my unattended answer file in case someone would like to see it to understand better.

Mac Pro missing "Create Windows 7 Install Disk"

Okay well when i try to use bootcamp as i already bought a copy of windows 7. The Create Windows 7 Install Disk option is not there for me. In every tutorial to setup bootcamp has had that option. Is my bootcamp messed up or did i do something wron? Specs: 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 6GB 1066Mhz OS X 10.8.2 Thanks

Your Mac Pro must be newer than a Mac Pro 5,1, and must have a minimum ROM version in order to use the USB installer you are looking for. If your machine is older, or doesn't have the correct ROM versions, then you need to use the "old fashioned" disc install method....

How to create factory default install disks

I have been looking for a way to use the hidden area to create system/factory install disks and not just recovery disks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

OK, now I feel stupid. I found the request I was looking for under "Think Vantage" software and it worked great. There was two selections (I only saw the one at first) and all is great and well.
If anyone needs help with this, I would love to help. Email me at [email protected] on how to do this.
Thanks to all that read this request and those that repliad.
Cheers and best wishes to you and yours...

How do I create a silent install for Adobe Robohelp 11.0? AAMEE fails

I have tried to create a silent install for Adobe Roboehelp 11 using AAMEE v. 3.1 but after inserting "product installation folder", "package name" and "save to" and choosing "next" the picture just greys out.
If if choose "next" again I get to the options page but it is empty.
I tried using an older version of AAMEE and here I can create an unserialized build but it wont accept the my license code (which works fine if I install manually)
Does anyone know how to solve this?
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64 bit.
Best Regards,
Christian Roejbaek

Hi Christian,
You have to use Creative cloud packager (CCP) to create the package for RoboHelp 11, AAMEE will not work for the latest version. CCP will be available in your LWS website(www.licensing.adobe.com) . Download CCP from LWS website and create a package for RH 11.
Please refer to the below link for more information of CCP:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/creating-packages.html
Once you will reach "The Application and Updates screen " on CCP window then you have to click on "Add Offline Media" and select the "product installer folder" as RH 11 might not show in the list of products on that screen.
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

Can't create a silent install package for Captivate 7 with AAMEE

I'm trying to create a silent install package for Captivate 7. It doesn't appear that this works with AAMEE. Has anyone been able to do this? If it won't be possible with AAMEE, is there a way to do it with cmd line switches?

Hi,
You would need to use Adobe Creative Cloud Packager to create a deployment package and deploy Captivate 7 as AAMEE does not supports Captivate 7.
Please refer the documentation available at - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager.html
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sharad
P.S - Creative Cloud Packager would be deployed under your Adobe LWS account. In case you do not have it available in LWS, then please P.M me your email address and I will get that processed.
Regards,
Sharad

In the second step of bootcamp, I am supposed to either check the box where it says create a windows install disk, what exactly is this? Do I need to do this?

In the second step of bootcamp, I am supposed to either check the box where it says create a windows install disk, what exactly is this? Do I need to do this? I have a windows 7 install disk, but I don't know what this means.

If you already have Windows on a DVD or USB drive, you don't have to tick that option. That's only for people who have Windows on a ISO file and have to burn it into a USB drive
