CS2 install using msi

Anyone have any experience installing Adobe's Creative Suite2 using msi via
NAL and eDir? The solutions I have found are to use an xml file but then
the various componenets of CS2 need to be updated and registured. I have
considered using snappshot but thought an msi install would be best. But
adobe uses setup.exe in the install. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I ran the setup exe and ran through the install but when I searched the
drive for *.msi I couldn't find any. I know that there are mis's on the cds
(there are 4 of them plus dreamweaver and an update disc). Do I just use
the msi for each of the different programs from each different CD? Or do I
do an install to the network share and then create the app obj using the
different msi's?
Thank you for your help

JRE 1.4.2_10 Silent install using MSi and JRE 5.0_06

I have been unable to install JRE 1.4.2_10 using the msi and mst silently. My company requires all applications be installed using and msi not an exe. and with no user intervention. I can install using the msi and mst but not silently,.
Also it does not allow me to choose IE as the default browser. I change the setting in the MST for IE, but this does not work, I still have to manually go in and change it after the install.
I have the same issue with version 5.0_06. This does allow me to choose IE as the default browser but does not install silently.
I am installing on Windows 2000 SP4.

Can't help you with the MSI/MST part of your question directly, however we use the following command line:
jre-1_5_0_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress JAVAUPDATE=0 SYSTRAY=0"
You might be able to make IEXPLORER=1 work for you via the MSI?
Additionally, you can manage JRE settings via the following method -
Place a file called 'deployment.config' in the following location:
%SystemRoot%\Sun\Java\Deployment
This file can act as a pointer to a configuration file (aka jre.properties)
The contents of 'deployment.config' would look like (as an example):
deployment.system.config=file://///servername/share/jre.properties
'jre.properties' would then contain this like:
deployment.version=1.5.0
deployment.browser.path=C\:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe
deployment.javaws.version=javaws-1.4.2_05

Clean Install - use MSI System Drivers?

I have a question regarding a clean install.
Install operating system -> MSI Chipset Drivers then update on top using ATI Catalyst 8.4?, Realtek Audio Drivers and finally Realtek PCI-E Lan Drivers.
What is difference between the MSI Drivers and the Catalyst suite? They same to be the same:
Catalyst Control Centre
ATI Install Manager
North Bridge Filter Driver
ATI Display Manager
IDE Driver
Microsoft Visual C++
ATI Unified Stream Driver
except the MSI Drivers adds Avivo64 Driver
Also, I thought it was always best to unistall all ATI drivers before upgrading? - at least that is the concensus on the AMD forum.
Any advice is appreciated.
Vista x64 Premium
Antec P182B Case
MSI K9A2CF BIOS ver 1.5B1
AMD Phenom 9500
Thermaltake ToughPower 750w
ATI Radeon 2900XT
OCZ PC2-6400 800Mhz 2 x 1024
Seagate 500GB 16MB cache SATA-2 HD
Mitsumi 1.44 internal 3.5 floppy / 6 in 1 card reader
Samsung 206BW

I guess that's where I'm confused.
It dosen't appear that the MSI system drivers are any different than the ATI catalyst drivers. The only difference is that the MSI drivers wanted to install Avivo64 on my system. Going to the ATI Catalyst site, it offers Avivo64 as a seperate download, but "Avivo Video Converter will only work with X1000 series products." http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista64/common-vista64 I have a 2900XT.
The Realtek audio and PCIe Ethernet drivers to install from the MSI site are in this case up to date and make sense.
So to ask in a different way, is there a problem with: OS first -> then the ATI Catalyst Suite (system drivers and display driver) - NOT install the MSI system drivers which appear to be outdated and the same as the ATI Catalyst Suite- then the Realtek Audio Driver, and finally the Realtek PCIe Ethernet driver.
Thanks

Auto updates for VSTO addin not working that was installed using MSI

I am not a .NET guy so this might be naïve question.
We have developed an MS Excel VSTO add-in using Click-Once (VB .NET). Due to some business requirements, We packaged that add-in as MSI.
DEVENV excel-addin.sln /Project AddinSetUp\AddinSetUp.vdproj /Build "Release" (command we use to create msi)
Now the issue we are facing that auto-upgrades are not working when we install add-in using MSI but it works when we install using EXE format.
Are we missing something during build?
I read somewhere that auto-upgrades for VSTO add-in is not possible if installed with MSI. is it the case?

Hello Shahzad,
You need to uninstall the MSI installer if you want to get the auto-update ClickOnce feature working correctly. You can read more about MSI and ClickOnce installers in the following articles in MSDN:

Problem installing / using MSI R9 270X 2GB Gaming card

I am a newbie here. I have just built my new PC, but I can't seem to get my MSI R9 270X card to install and work. I am not sure if this is a motherboard or graphics card problem. I know a little to build the PC, but I am not expert. So help would be great.
This is the spec of the PC:
Asus Z87 Pro motherboard
Intel i7 4770K CPU
Corsair Vengence 16 GB DDR3 (CML16GX3M2A1600C9)
Samsung SSD Pro 256GB System drive
Western Digital Black 2TB media drive
Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 650W PSU
Lycom Firewire card (PCIe x1_4)
Plextor BD/DVD
Windows 7 Pro x64
So when built, last week, everything seems to work OK. Then I was using the Intel GPU, but I need a graphics card for video editing. I am not a gaming user. The Asus motherboard reports a post BIOS Q code of "A0".
To the best of my knowledge I have the latest BIOS and Windows updates and drivers.
I have put the MSI graphics card into the PCIe x16_1 slot. I have made sure it is seated well and that the 2 power cables are connected to the PSU (20A @12V)
When booting up the PC the BIOS "bleeps" several times and I get an error message saying that "The memory address is insufficient due to Intel Thunderbolt resource consumption". The motherboard does not have Thunderbolt as far as I know. That PCI slot is shared with ECHI#1.
Somehow, I got the card to install yesterday without that message. I installed the latest AMD driver 12.13, but the Catalyst Control Center did not show up. The MSI card showed in Device Manager as working with no conflicts. The MSI Utility showed the Core Clock working at 300MHz, which seems very slow.
I have tried re-installing, but still no luck and today got the BIOS message back and it would not go past that message. I have removed the graphics card for the time being so I can use the PC.
So I am not sure if this is a motherboard issue, or a faulty graphics card or my fault?
It seems crazy if you can't have a graphics card and other motherboard resources switched on. Someone has suggested turning off the built in WiFi and Bluetooth controller. I have not tried that yet because I need them.
Any help appreciated.
This is my first post here and can't find a way to attach a screen shot to help. Is that possible?

Thank you for the reply.
I cleared the CMOS by using the motherboard jumper. I did not remove the battery.....I hope that is OK.
I removed the Firewire card. This did not have a power cable connected to it. I assume that might be OK as I am only using it to capture DV from my camera. It was in a PCI slot that was not shared with the graphics card though. I do need this card to be working if at all possible?
I re-booted and entered the BIOS. The clock had not cleared but everything else seemed to be back to default.
I powered down and fitted the MSI graphics card.....it passed the BIOS OK. I had previously removed all traces of AMD/ATI by un-installing and manual removing from folders and registry.
I then installed the latest driver and Catalyst Control Center. The log file said everything passed, but the CCC still does not show up. Any idea what could be happnening here?
So far, so good but since I need this PC for my editing, what should I do about the Firewire card?
P.S. I also need the Intel GPU to be used as well for Quicksync use. I assume i will have to reset that in the BIOS?

Adobe Reader "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon not installing when Using MSI Installer.

I'm trying to do a silent install of Adobe Reader - and I notice that when I use the EXE installer, with no manual configuration, I have the "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon in Internet Explorer (IE11).
When Installing the MSI - With or without a transform, I do not get the addon. I get a "PDF Link Helper" but no PDF Reader addon. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi geoffubazi,
The 'Adobe PDF Reader' Addon should install even if you run the .msi file.
Check under the Add on option- 'Run without permission' as shown in the screen shot below and it will list the 'Adobe PDF Reader' Add on

Trouble installing a *.msi file on a folder using Windows 7

I'm having trouble installing a *.msi file created under Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2005 on a Windows 7 machine. The problem occurs when I attempt to provide a directory for installation, but the installation wizard always defaults to the C: root
folder. I can always move the created files and folders from the *.msi wizard to a directory of my choosing and run the tool
successfully. But, I'm confused has to why the *.msi wizard always defaults to the C: root.
I have tried running the *.msi file in administrative mode using the various published methods but none of those methods are made available, in fact they are all disabled. I.e. right click the *.msi file has a disabled "Run as Administrator"
option. The properties under the *.msi file to "Run As Administrator" is also disabled. And running the *.msi file under msiexec as also proven
unsuccessful.

Hello Marco,
From your description, this issue is related with the .msi file, i am afraid it is beyond the scope of our support, this current forum is used to discuss and ask questions about .NET Framework Base Classes (BCL) such as Collections, I/O, Regigistry, Globalization,

Install Media for Windows 2000 using MSI

Does Oracle have install media for client installs which uses MSI (Windows 2000 Installation Technology)?
I want to be able to push out installs/upgrades of Oracle client software to Windows 2000 desktops (where some people may or may not have administrative rights on their desktops).

Windows 2000 is not supported, officially reaching the end of it's life in June 2010.
We would recommend that you upgrade to an actively supported version of the Windows operating system.
The minimum system requirements for Flash Player can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/in/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html
As a short-term fix, you may be able to run a version of Flash Player 10.3 from the Archives page, which is currently supported with security updates; however, your operating system remains vulnerable as it is no longer maintained from a security perspective.

Use msiexec to remotely install an .msi file accross the network

I'm trying to install an .msi file via group policy but am not having any success. How can I install an .msi file onto computers accross the network using the msiexec command instead of psexec? I'm using this scriptwith psiexec below to no avail,
I'm running the script as domain admin and the everyone, domain users and domain computer security groups all have ntfs full control permissions to the share folder and co-owner permissions
to the share. I can also install the package manually and reach the share from the computer using

Doesn't matter, you wanted to use group policy to assign the MSI over the network anyways, right.

* 1 - Click the Windows "Start" button and type "gpedit.msc" and press "Enter." This is the shortcut command to open the group policy editor.
* 2 - Double-click the "Computer Configuration" icon to expand some options. Click "Software Settings." Right-click "Software Configuration" and select "New Package" to open a "New Package" wizard.
* 3 - Click the "Open" button and point to the location of your MSI file. This can be on a network drive, or on the network server. Click "Open" to save the location.
* 4 - Click the "Assigned" option and click "OK." The "Assigned" option assigns it to network users. You can disable the package in the future by editing the group policy properties and removing this check box.
* 5 - Click "OK" to save your package. The new package is shown in the details pane and it takes effect the next time your users log in to the network.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 Install

I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS2, I know it is an old version, but I am unable to upgrade at this time. However, I have the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS2, and when I run the install it states that it is looking for a previous version of Photoshop. I have verified that this is not an upgrade only cd. Please advise.

Thanks for trying to help out guys but after hours of toying with this thing it finally hit me like a brick wall. I found a work around.
For anyone that may run into this issue in the future:
When you run the Adobe Photoshop CS2 install and it will not let you install due to looking for previous versions
Install Adoby Photoshop CS2 as the 30 day trial, which will install without any issues.
After the installation is completed then ender the serial number manually after that.
Not sure why it has to be a PITA about it, but it works.

How to recognize if application is installed using "Install Application on Remote Desktop" option on Windows Server 2008 R2

How to recognize if application is installed using "Install application on remote desktop..." option in Control Panel in Windows Server 2008 R2?
Basically, as administrator, I can't say if the user installed application using "Install application on remote desktop..." in Control Panel or he just installed it by clicking the .msi executable. I can't find anything that makes any difference.
I could not find anything in the registry. I am quite confused.
Thanks,
Aleksandar9

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please make sure that you are using category view of control panel-programs to check the application. And in addition to “install application on Remote Desktop server” user can also use command line also.
change user /install
change user /execute
change user /query
“The first time you run the application, it searches the home directory for its .ini files. If the .ini files are not found in the home directory, but are found in the system directory, Terminal Services copies the .ini files to the home directory, ensuring
that each user has a unique copy of the application .ini files. Each user should have a unique copy of the .ini files for an application. This prevents instances where different users might have incompatible application configurations.” (Quoted formthis
article).
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Dharmesh

Java does not update older version when installing from MSI file

I'm using an MSI file of Java because it's easier for deploying through SCCM. Anyway when I do everything works fine except it does not update older versions of Java. So for instance if I have Java 7 update 7 and install Java 7 update 21 using the MSI file I'll then have two versions of Java installed on my computer. Anybody know a way to install using the MSI file where it updates older versions of Java (as long as it's the same major revision) like the exe would?

Yes same problem here. I had a successful rollout with the MSI package and version 1.7 Update 17 on 1500 computers!
I packaged the Update 21 and on my first test-clients the control panel crashes when I try to open it. But the setup ends successful without any error code all eventviewer entries are successful and it seems that the environment is running. Firefox plugintest was successful.
Why doesn't offer Orcale the MSI files?! Since last year Java cost me o lot of time deploying Java. There is no update which you can release quickly because there are always bugs to deploy them.

How to install the msi file for tax return

i am having problem installing the msi file.

The short answer is that they don't support anything but Windows.
http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.aspx?doc=/content/73931.htm
You would have to use Bootcamp and install Windows or install an emulator like Parallels and then install Windows into the Parallels emulator.
It probably won't do any good but you could file a complaint with them over their choice to only support Windows.

Can I swap out my software to reinstall my CS2 for use with a Mac instead of Windows?

After years of no problems, my CS2 ceased to work. I tried deinstalling it and using the Adobe clean up kit and reinstalling it to no avail. Frankly, I am not smart enough to follow all of those troubleshooting steps. But since I purchased the license to use CS2 and used the Windows software to install it on my computer, I was wondering now that I have deinstalled it and can't get it back on, can I install it on my Mac instead? Can I get the software to do that? thanks.

Unfortunately CS2 is also too old to upgrade to CS6 andd your PPC Mac won't run the current Adobe software which only runs on newer Intel-based Macs.
Only CS5 users can upgrade to CS6.
There is also a temporary upgrade window for CS3 and CS4 users which closes on 31 Dec 2012.
So if you do eventually upgrade your Mac, you'll have to purchase a full version of CS6 (or whatever the current version may be).
What exactly is happening when you try to run CS2? Hard to guess from the description given so far.

Popup message - Windows Installer tries to Install SolutionCenter.msi, but unable to find it.

The message is from Windows Installer and says Please wait while the windows installer tries to install SolutionCenter.msi.
But then it says it cannot find the file. I cannot get rid of the message and don't know what to do. It is hard to even get out of the popup message.
