CS6 installation over a network

My organization has various users that use different Adobe products and we're encountering a problem installing CS6 for a new user. We obtained the files download from our software vendor and placed the installation files on the machine (windows 7 64-bit, Lenovo Thinkpad X230) locally in the folder listed in script below. It says to run in quiet mode so we developed the following script to run from a batch file.
@Echo Off
Echo installing Adobe X Pro
msiexec.exe /i "C:\Adobe-CS6\AdobeMasterCollectionMSI\Exceptions\AcrobatProfessional10.0-EFG\AcroPro.msi " /quiet
Echo Adobe Acrobat X Pro installation completed
Pause
Echo installing Adobe Master Collection CS6
msiexec.exe /i "C:\Adobe-CS6\AdobeMasterCollectionMSI\Build\AdobeMasterCollectionMSI" /q
Echo CS6 Master collectrion package Installation Completed
pause
We can get Acrobat to install, but the rest of CS6 just doesn't work. Anyone have any suggestions?

try this line:
msiexec.exe /i "C:\Adobe-CS6\AdobeMasterCollectionMSI\Build\AdobeMasterCollection.msi" /quiet
or
msiexec.exe /i ~%dp0Adobe-CS6\AdobeMasterCollectionMSI\Build\AdobeMasterCollection.msi /quiet
and not:
msiexec.exe /i "C:\Adobe-CS6\AdobeMasterCollectionMSI\Build\AdobeMasterCollectionMSI " /q

How do I disable all non-essential components in the CS6 installer

A new question in the spirit of http://forums.adobe.com/thread/548877 and http://forums.adobe.com/message/2778575, where I asked this question for CS4 and CS5 and eventually discovered how to do this (at least for CS4; CS5 was a mess...): How do I disable all the non-essential components in the Photoshop CS6 installer?
I already found the payloads/Media_db.db sqlite 3 database and wiped the DependencyData table. This goes a long way - unlike CS5, which was a maze of hidden xml configs and sqlite databases, for CS6 just wiping this single table will give the user full control over what the installer will put in the computer. With the dependencies wiped, we can now see all the stuff it's actually going to install:
Bridge (normal and x64) - 187 and 262 MB
CMaps (normal and x64) - 7.2 and 7.2 MB
CSXS Extensions - 1.3MB
CSXS Infrastructure - 6.8MB
Color - photoshop, EU, JA, NA - 1.5, 2.1, 3.0, 2.5MB
Video profiles - 4.7KB
Dynamic Link Media Server - 96MB
DynamicLink Support - 6.1MB
ExtendScript Toolkit - 19MB
Extension Manageer - 16MB
Fonts recommended (normal and x64) - 110 and 110MB (why are there x86 and x64 versions? more of an open question than one that really needs an answer, but this is not how fonts work. There are no separate x86 and x64 flavoured OpenType fonts)
Fonts required (normal and x64) - 123 and 123MB
Hunspell Linguistics Plugin (normal and x64) - 181 and 181MB
Linguistics (normal and x64) - 46 and 46MB
Mini Bridge (normal and x64) - 4.0MB
PDF Library Files (normal and x64) - 75 and 75MB
Photoshop (normal and x64) - 486 and 563MB
Photoshop Support - 9.4MB
Player for Embedding 3.3 (normal and x64) - 21 and 26MB
Switchboard 2.0 - 1.1MB
Type Support (normal and x64) - 6 and 6MB

PDF Settings - 2.4MB
Camera Raw 7 (normal and x64) - 22 and 24MB
Suite Shared Configuration - 3.2MB
Some of these things we really want installed (Photoshop, CMaps, XMP panels, Type Support and required fonts and color profiles are pretty much the minimal set required for a functional Photoshop installation), but some of these things really have no right to be silentedly installed. There's a good gigabyte of nonsense that someone who just wants Photoshop has no need for. Denying them the option to unselect these things during installation is a bit evil (whatever happened to the 'advanced' or 'custom' installation option? That was a good option).
That said, there's still something funky going on - unselecting all components indicates that the installation will required 0.0KB on disk. However, selecting Photoshop CS6 x64, which indicates its size is 563MB, results in an installation that requires 677MB on disk. Similar things happen for other components; CMaps is 7.2MB, but when you select it, it suddenly requires 121MB on disk.
Much last last time, I fully appreciate the install team's choices in making sure the installer will always work as long as people don't tamper with it, but I'm not one of those people - I do tamper with it, because I want to control exactly what lands on my disk. So: how do I find out what these secret things are that are not listed after wiping the dependency data so that I can explicitly pick individual components? Which additional steps are required to reveal the hidden dependencies that will apparently still be installed, or aren't factored into the size indication for the various components? And finally, how do I make the installer NOT determine that "this is not a genuine installer, you may have a counterfeit product" =)
I know it's been altered; I modified it, because I think your install process is trying to force stuff onto my computer that I never asked for, nor will ever use (I know they're quality products, they just have no right to exist on my computers. If I had the choice to say no, I'd acknowledge them as quality products instead).

NB: if Eric Wilde ends up replying to this post: I still remember your willingness to help figure this out for CS5, two years ago. Thank you again for that.

I can see why you wouldn't want to release information that lets people set up arbitrary installers, but that's why I mostly wanted those two specific hashes. The installer team can just generate them without ever saying how, and we will only be able to use them to validate the installer for the modification that lets you pick components. This should in no way interfere with the desire to prevent dangerous installers making it into the wild; in fact, it kind of guarantees that's impossible.
I know you can't guarantee it'll work or test it, and that's fine. Past experience has shown that CS3, CS4 and CS5 work fine with updates (and most updates don't apply to Photoshop, they apply to the additional components that I traditionally don't install), so I'm pretty sure it'll work fine with CS6 too, although of course it could go wrong in which case I can always fall back to a normal install.
Would you be willing to ask the install team whether they could generate just these two numbers, based on the single SQL command run on Media_db.db from the main payload directory? I can fully understand not wanting to give the "here is how you generate the hashes" information, but generating two specific numbers that don't work for anything but this specific query should be just as safe as the various hashes we can already see for the other Media_db.db files in the various payload directories (so they wouldn't reveal anything not already known about how to reverse engineer the hashing algorithm). It'd help tech-savvy customers quite a bit without playing into the hands of criminally minded jerks (I actually had the pleasure of running into a duped CS3 Extended disc several years ago! I had ordered CS3 for personal use, and mysteriously received a CS3 extended version with a volume licensing key in what looked like an official normal CS3 box. Needless to say, authorities and Adobe were notified).
<<I think the right answer to this issue is to simply remove from the products those items that are not required to execute the product. That's actually something we're aggressively pursuing this summer so that the product size reduces in future releases, particularly for PS.>>
It's not possible to take components out of the payloads directory without the installer complaining that errors have occurred. It really wants all those files there when it starts =(
<<Have you investigated using AAMEE? I don't think that will get rid of all the "extraneous" pieces; but, it does provide some flexibility in creating an install package that can then be pushed out through normal deployment tools (e.g. SCCM).>>
I did, but unfortunately AAMEE requires the use of a volume license key, which I don't have. We only have individual products keys for the machines that will get Photoshop CS6.

Fax over the network with HP LaserJet 400 ColorMFP M475dw

Hi there, I was trying to send fax over the network with HP LaserJet 400 ColorMFP M475dw, I have connected the printer/scan/fax on a wired network, just have 3 computers on it, all of them can scan or print. But I can't find any option to just FAX from Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat Reader, going to File ---> Print ---> and select M475dw "FAx", I installed the lasted version of the drivers downloaded from hp.com and there's no way to install this multifunction printer as a FAX.
So I can't see the FAX on Printers in the control panel of windows.
I have never got an error message from any computer during the installation process either.
Does anyone has an idea of what to do here?
Thanks ahead.

Thanks for your quick answer, I really appreciate it. But unfortunately, it didn't resolve my problem
Actually any of the workstations after complete the installation (with the last version of drivers downloaded just now from hp.com) can't recognize the HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dw, as a fax. I can print and scan over the network, or connecting the printer with a usb cable. I just can't see the icon "HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dw FAX" in Control Panel ---> Devices and Printers. I did a full installation when I were asked during the installation process... I did then I custom installation and neither of them seems to work to me
This is very strange, it never happened to me with any other models of all-in-on (printer/fax/scanner)

HP photosmart C4700 cannot be connected over the network.

my printer was recently unplugged and refuses to print. i have reinstalled all drivers and software but still cannot connect over the network. please help soon as i desperatley need to print off college work. this has happened before but reinstalling the drivers worked.

HP Software finds the printer, but then "the printer was unable to be installed over the network"

I have tried to search for a similar issue, but haven't had any success yet. I doubt I'm the first with this problem!
The computer is XP SP3, the printer is Deskjet 3050A, and it's a WPA-PSK WiFi.
The printer confirms that it is connected to the WiFi.
When I run the setup tool on the computer, at the Network Check point, the setup software finds the printer at the correct IP address. It is the only thing it discovers.
I click next, ànd after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer was unable to be installed over the wireless network" Click Retry to try installing the printer over the network again, or click Cancel to return to the connection options.
This just cycles with no progress. I have turned off the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV. No change.
I can browse to the web interface of the printer - but still can't install the printer. It is listed in the Printers and Faxes as being Offline.
I'll try once again removing it, and re-adding it - but has anyone come across this problem before, please?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I am having a similar problem as well. The printer is recognized (most of the time) when I run the HP Network DIagnostic Utility. However, when I run the Add a Device setup program to install my wireless printer, it is NEVER recognized. I have even tried to use the advvanced serach to locate it using the IP listed in the Diagnostic Utility without any luck. As an aside, I was able to add the printer through windows just fine and am currently able to print to it, but would really like to add it using the HP installation so that I can configure the "scan to" settings again.
To make matters worse, I no longer have the USB cord that came with the printer because the device has been connected wirelessly for over a year now with minimal issues. Any help getting this brick back online and connected to my network would be much appreciated!

Is it possible for a G4 to use optical drive of another mac over a network

Well, is it? For some reason the optical drive on my G4 won't read certain CD's that are read by other Macs I have, but I can't see those drives over my network?

You can connect to it with file sharing, but you won't be able to use it as an installation source. In other words, you won't be able to reboot the G4 and see that drive over the network to boot from it.
If your G4's optical drive is consistently problematic, you could replace it quite easily and cheaply (if it's a desktop), or you might look at external optical drives.

Adobe Bridge over a network.

Is it possible to set up Adobe Bridge cs5 or cs6 to operate over a network and be accessed by multiple users who share keyworks etc.?

Short answer: not by design, but you might get it to work partially. No one here is going to offer suggestions without making a lot of work for themselves.

Adobe CS6 Installer Ends

My PC crashed a week ago and required a refresh of the OS. This wiped out all of my installed applications including CS6. Now I attempt to run the CS6 Installer. It runs thru "Initializing Installer" progress bar:
Then disappears with no trace. This is a Dell XPS 8500 running Windows 8 (64-bit). How can I get CS6 installed?
Thanks,
Dale

installing windows over a current installation of windows is generally going to cause a mess.
your best bet (at this point) is to use the cs cleaner: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
and then re-installing cs6.

Why does photoshop no longer save over my network

I have recently purchased 2 mac minis as retouching stations.
-running 10.10.2
-other computer and host computer on 10.9.5
-running a mix of CS5, CS6, and CC
all of our systems can, over a network, access a raid, grab a file, work on it and hit save
the 2 yosemite stations get permission errors.
Yes the permissions are set correctly everywhere. this is only an issue with tees 2 new stations, out of seven.
I read about it all over, a serious damper in our work flow as a catalog house...
Adobe seems to have wiped it's hands of it.
Has anybody found a solution, I have read formatting my RAID to EXfat can solve it, but that it a not very reliable platform
Anybody?
Thanks

What protocol are you using? AFP or SMB?
Truth be told, there have always been issues saving files from Photoshop over a network share point. It works some times, with some Photoshop and OS X versions, and in others it doesn't work, due to permissions or other errors. The relatively foolproof way to work is to edit and save everything local, and then copy files to the network drive when you're done working on them, rather than continually saving over a network share.

PEAP encryption over wired network?

I have Wicd in LXDE and loving it, but the problem is there isn't wireless availability in my room. So I'm trying to find a way to connect to PEAP over wired, an issue which the Wicd people say they've never run into.
The example configs and everything else seems to be geared toward wireless, but there's almost nothing I can find for encryption over wired, and frankly I can't do EVERYTHING in the building lobby.
----------FIXED----------
I had Arch before and liked it just dandy, but switched for a little while to Ubuntu. Now I'd like to try it again, but I've got a problem: I'm on a University network and both the hardwire and the wireless are encrypted. The wireless is WPA enterprise and the wired is 802.1x, both are PEAP Version 0 with MSCHAPv2.
I had absolutely no problem getting Arch setup back home when I could use the ethernet cable and get everything downloaded/installed, then I'd throw Wicd into the mix and bingo bango I'm set up. Problem is all my googling and searching has given me no indication of how to proceed with installation if my network requires authentication. It's proving a bit of a roadblock.
-------END OLD PROBLEM---------

We have a simmilar setup at our dorms, and my config looks like this for wpa_supplicant
network={
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
ca_cert="/path/to/root.crt"
identity="" #your username
password="" #your password
Use the wired driver, and it should work.

Presets over a network

Is there a way to set presets up to work over a network for several other computers? So you'd have all the presets in one location and several computers will all look at that network location for them.
Thanks,
- Matt

Maybe an alias... There's no directory presets path in the preferences that I know of. Animation presets are not necessarily compatible with different versions of AE so some care will have to be taken there.
I have an alias to a bunch of expression presets that I have collected over the years. It works just fine across the AE versions I have on my main work station and my laptop. The Alias is in the ProgramFiles(Applications)Adobe After Effects CS6 (version)/Presets folder. My custom presets are stored in a shared dropbox folder so that every machine that's synced to the dropbox folder has access to all of the custom presets through Bridge or through the Effects and Presets Panel.

Oops. Leopard found Office v.X over the network!

I ordered Office 08, which hasn't arrived yet. I noticed that .doc files will open in TextEdit (in a crude format), so I have gotten used to double-clicking them when I need to read some info in them. However, I absent-mindedly did the same to an .xls file while I was connected to my old Mac over the network. My Mac Pro apparently found Office v.X on my G4, and proceeded to open Excel over the network! And it opened the file! While I think that was a really neat trick, I am worried that Excel installed files or extensions on my new Mac Pro, which I wanted to keep squeaky clean. Do you think there is anything I need to remove, or will the Office 08 installation take care of that?

Nothing has been installed by you simply opening a doc file.

Problem printing to printer attached to a pc over home network

I have a home network with two computers, a Dell running Win XP and a new iMac running Leopard. I have Fusion installed on the Mac running a virtual PC on WinXP as well, so I effectively have 3 computers. I had an old HP printer attached to the Dell that both the Mac and its virtual PC could see and print to fine over my network. I had to replace the printer and now have a Canon MX700 attached (by USB) to the Dell, and am having trouble with remote printing. I was able to "add" the new printer to both the Mac and its virtual pc, but only the virtual pc is able to print successfully. When I try printing from the Mac applications, using the driver for the MX700 printer found during the add printer setup, I get an error message. I then tried a new setup with a generic (Gutenprint) driver, and the printer was spitting out blank pages. Then I downloaded another driver from Canon's website for OS X 10.5, and it still didn't work. (I am not sure if I was supposed to uninstall the previous drivers first, and if so,I don't know how to do that since I am still new to the Mac environment. I just am assuming that the new drivers take over for the former one.) I assume that the problem is a driver problem and not a network problem since the virtual pc on the Mac works fine and my old HP worked fine with the same network setup. Any help?

Thank you again for sticking with me on this. Frankly, I was very surprised when the Canon did not work even when I carried it downstairs and attached it directly to the Mac by USB. I used the installation disk, which said it installed successfully (after several tries where it kept getting hung up after installing the drivers, and showing 0% completed, requiring me to use force quit to get the setup to stop each time). But as I explained in my prior post, the Mac never found the printer even after the supposed "successful" install.
This is typical when there are too many different versions of the driver residing on the Mac. I will explain my procedure to remove all the Canon stuff at the bottom of this post.
I then downloaded the Mac OS driver from the support page for my printer on Canon's website and ran that driver, but still no recognition. But I am willing to keep trying. I had looked at the PrintFab driver too (which I learned about from one of your other posts), but they are expensive and I probably could buy another printer for the cost of that driver. So I don't think that is an option.
Agree with you re the PrintFab. That is why I think the direct network connection would be best.
You suggest that I try another Gutenprint driver from the Canon list, which I guess I can randomly do, but I noticed that a number of the models listed show the driver as 5.2.3 (the same numbers as the generic one I tried)--does this meand they are all the same? Can I just keep downloading and installing more drivers without removing any?
It is not another version I need you to try. Using the same version, I suggest you try some of the other models that are included with the Gutenprint driver. Ideally, it would be good to know which model of the included Gutenprint drivers uses the same ink tank setup as your MX700. For example, if the MX700 uses BCI8 Blk and a BCI5 Blk and the three 8 series colour (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow), then selecting a model that uses the same setup might work for you. If you check a Canon web site, it would tell you what tanks are used by a certain model that is available within the Canon list.
I am willing to consider the network install of the printer, and that would be a good way to go, but I find Canon's instruction for network installations that came with the printer (which does not appear to consider mixing Macs and Pcs since there are separate instructions for both) a bit confusing. The basic installation of the printer on the network seems easy enough to follow. It is the further instruction for doing something to the "card" for each computer that will be using the printer on the network that I find confusing. I don't know what they are talking about. I certainly don't want to mess up my network connections. Do you know of any better instructions for setting this all up?
The setup is easier than the manual suggests. With the printer connected via USB, you open the Utilities application and select the Network tab. However this does require that you can get the printer to work when connected via USB, so we have to achieve that first.
Again, thank you very much for all your help. (Incidentally, I also discovered I can't use the fax feature of the printer because we have a two-line phone line and when I plug the phone cord into the printer and then out to the phone it eliminates the second line, no ringtone. There is no setting for this on the printer that I can find. But I can live without the fax, just another source of annoyance with this printer).
That would suggest that there is a link from the first phone to the second. Unplugging the phone cable to connect to the fax has broken that loop. You could easily get the phones rewired to suit the fax, but again it costs money so it might not be worth it.
Here is my procedure for repairing faulty installations of the Canon PIXMA drivers.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Highlight the Canon printer in the Printer list and click the minus ( - ) button. [You may not have to do this step]
2. Hold Control key and click in the empty Printers list. Click on Reset Printing System.
3. Close Print & Fax
4. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinter folder.
5. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the Canon driver package file, if one exists. The file name will show Canon MX700 xxx.pkg
6. Go to Library > Preferences and delete the Canon folder.
7. Go to HD > Users > Shared > Canon and delete the BJPrinter folder.
8. Empty the Trash
9. Unplug the Canon USB cable and restart the Mac
10. Install the latest version of the Canon driver. Looking at the Canon AU web site it is v6.9.3
11. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
12. Reconnect the Canon USB cable. Then open Print & Fax and see if the Canon printer is listed. If it is, try a test print.
13. If the printer is not listed, click the plus ( + ) button.
14. Select the Default view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
15. Click Add to add the printer.

Batch upgrading client JRE's over Windows network

Does anyone know of a tool or method that can be used to force/exert upgrade of windows client JREs on all machines within a domain/network? This prob won't be anything to do with java, and rather it will most likely be a admin tool used to rollout any application over windows networks. Just thought someone might have used it for java.

You can use the login script, SMS, Zenworks, Footprint, Altiris, Orbiter, AD policies, Managesoft, or any other systems management software. Some of these are better suited for large organizations but others work well within a smaller group. Talk to your systems/network administrator? They can't all be rabid.
The key is to create a completely silent installation. Here's the install string for jre 1.4.2_01. If you paste this into a command prompt (ensuring that your either use the full path to the exe file, or make that directory active), it will install silently with all defaults. Using one of the tools above, you can update every machine in your organization.
j2re-1_4_2_01-windows-i586.exe /S /V"/qr /l %LOGDIR%\J2RE-1.4.2_01\JRE142.log REBOOT=SUPPRESS ALLUSERS=1"
Make sure the %logdir% is created prior to running this string.
Hope this helps,
Margaret
