EXEs without silent installation switches.

Hi,
In Config Manager 2012 R2, is there a way to install EXEs silently on workstations when the EXE itself dose not have a silent installation switch such as /silent or /q apart form converting it to MSI,??

My first step in this process is to install the application sliently via command line. If this does not work you will not successfully deploy the app with ConfigMgr. ConfigMgr is just the delivery mechanism.

Silent Uninstall Switch for FlashUtil32_11_4_402_278_ActiveX.exe

I know I can run 'FlashUtil32_11_4_402_278_ActiveX.exe' (found in 'C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash') manually, but I'd like to automate the removal process to avoid having the user click on anything. (I want zero user interaction!)
Are there any silent/unattended switches for FlashUtil32?

Hi Pat & thank you kindly for at least responding to the thread. I greatly appreciate it.
For what its worth the -uninstall switch works for the following executables in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash:
FlashPlayerPlugin_11_XXX.exe
FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe
FlashUtil32_11_XXX_Plugin.exe
It does not seem to work for the FlashUtil32_11_XXX_ActiveX.exe. However, as you pointed out, it does work with the uninstall_flash_player.exe, and that seems to get rid of the last remaining FlashUtil32_11_XXX_ActiveX.exe file (among other things I'm sure).
Thanks!

PDQ - Create Silent installation for EXE install package

The first question is: Do you have the free version or paid for version of PDQ Deploy? This will make a little difference in your approach for deployment.For the .net part, just download the off line installer for the version you want to deploy. This will be in a .exe form just append the /quite /norestart options to the command line. No need to check if .net is already installed, the installer will just exit if there is nothing to do.For your application, you need to find out if there is a silent install option.For the registry you can just export the registry keys in question with regedit. then in your installer action/script just run the following command regedit.exe /s .regYou can add this all to the install sequence if you have the paid for version or in a .cmd file in the same location as the other install files in your packages...

Calendar desktop client silent installation OCal_win_10.1.2exe v8.2.160.0

Hi,
I am having trouble executing the Oracle silent installation instructions for this app.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25553_01/install.1012/b25463/clientinstallation.htm#CHDEJIIB
I am unable to extract the package contents using the setup.exe /a command as suggested. The /s /v"qn" switch will not install the package correctly.
I can grab the Oracle Calendar.msi file from the temp directory during an interactive install but cannot find the files that the instructions suggest most importantly the handy unison.ini configuration file is not there :-( .
Can someone help please.

Dear all,
I've managed to work this one out for myself. Bit of a nightmare but here we go...
The nub of the problem is that a default value of the variable that sets the installation directory is not being declared in the msi.
As a result of this when you perform an installation without the GUI for some files only the installation path defaults to "" or the root directory of the PC.
Fortunately this path is covered by a Public parameter in the msi file :-) . You can pass public parameters into the msi when you install it. Like this:
msiexec.exe /i "mymsi.msi" MYPUBLICPARAMETER="myvalue"
I used the msitoxml application available on sourceforge to have a look at the parameters inside the msi which I grabbed from the temporary. The public parameters always have capital letters.
So for a silent install of the msi I ended up with this:
msiexec.exe /i "Oracle Calendar.msi" /qn INSTALLDIR="%programfiles%\Oracle\Calendar"
Having got the msi install working I thought I would try to find a way to pass the msi switches into the original installshield setup file so that it doesn't need extracting which Oracle might not want us to do.
We already know that the /v switch passes parameters to msiexec.exe when used on the setup exe. But what syntax do we need for this complex set of parameters? The Installshield setup executable expects any string containing spaces after the /v switch to wrapped in quotes. So we have the classic quotes within quotes problem.... After some experimentation it turns out that the \ character will escape quotes in this case.
So escaping the extra quotes we have:
OCal_win_10.1.2exe /s /v"/qn INSTALLDIR=\"%programfiles%\Oracle\Calendar\""
No idea whether this will help anyone else, but I had to write it up somewhere!

Need help with a Silent Installer for Photoshop Elements 10

I can't seem to get the silent installer working. I've used the Elements 9 instructions for 10 but I still get pop-ups requesting info:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-volume-license-photoshop.html
I cannot find any info at all relating specifically to Elements 10. Before I go digging into the msi with ORCA (preferable to have something I can deploy in Active Directory through GPO) I tought I'd ask here

@mtarggart
Delete the blank between /UL and 1033, and it will work. :-)
@Davide M, thanks a lot for your helpful article!
mtarggart wrote:
I've tried the above command and I keep getting prompted to select an Install Language. I'm trying to install this on Windows 7 x64 Enterprise. From an elevated command prompt pointed to the directory of the Elements install files (C:\PSE 10), this is what I am typing: start /wait setup.exe /UL 1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx".
For the ones who want to use installation from a server share,
change "Setup.exe" by using \\Servername\Share\Setup.exe
and set \\Servername\Share to your Servershare.
The last thing I've been searching for was setting the right country
and stopping PSE from asking me which country I am living in.
Seems as if there was an additional switch e.g. "Country=244" for US.

Silent installation

Hi,
I'm trying to install silently iTunes 9 on Windows XP Pro.
I've extract all the msi files and use the switch /qb using an administrative user: this works fine for me but when the user (who is only a domain user with no administrative rights!) starts iTunes and plug the iPhone, immediately a progress bar appears and I receive this message
"The software required for iPhone is not installed"
I've try all these solution explained in this kb http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
...and the right solution is start once iTune with administrative right.
So...how can I try to make a silent installation of iTunes on 30 PC without without the manual intervention of an administrator?
Thank you in advance.

Integration 10g silent installation will not install WebLogic Workshop

Hello,
I am attempting a silent installation, using wli10gR3_win32.exe. I have created a silent.xml using the information on this page: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13214_01/wli/docs85/install/silent.html.
I have used that page in the past to successfully create silent installations for versions 8 and 9 of Weblogic, but for version 10g it is not quite working as advertised. I have not found instructions for a silent installation for 10g.
My silent.xml file contains the following line:
<data-value name="COMPONENT_PATHS" value="WebLogic Server|WebLogic Workshop|WebLogic Integration|WebLogic Portal" />
When I run the package with this line, an error is produced in the log file stating that WebLogic Workshop cannot be found.
When I remove the WebLogic Workshop part of the line then Server, Integration, and Portal all install without errors. Unfortunately, Workshop was requested as well.
When I run the installation manually, I am offered Workshop as one of the products.
If somebody can point me to the correct installation documentation or provide the correct syntax for the silent.xml file that would be swell.
thanks.

Hi,
I had faced the same issue today, So I had removed workshop and the installation was successful. But the weird thing is after the installation I could see the "workshop" was installed under BEA_HOME.
Did any one face the same issue?
Thanks.

Silent installation of Adobe Photoshop element 10

Hello
I installed Adobe Photoshop Element 10 without silent installtion. then following products are installed.
1.Element 10 organiser
2.Adobe Air
3. Adobe Community Help
4.Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser
5.Adobe Photoshop Element10
These 5 products installed
But when i installed the application with silent call then "Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser" this product not getting installed.
In following way i installed yhe package:
1. Create an “application.xml.override” file:
2. Paste the following code into Notepad.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="EULADelay">0</Data>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>
3. Choose File > Save As.
4. Choose Save As Type > All Files.
5. Choose Encoding > UTF-8.
6. Type “application.xml.override” in the File Name text box.
7. Save a copy of the file to the root of the “Adobe Photoshop Elements 10” folder and to the root of the “ElementsOrganizer” folder in the “Adobe Photoshop Elements 10” folder copied in Step 1.
8. (Optional) Open the Setup.ini file from the “Adobe Photoshop Elements 10” folder copied in Step 1 in Notepad and change it as follows:
9. Set DISABLEEMSFEATURES to 1. A value of 1 (DISABLEEMSFEATURES=1) turns off the Photoshop.com membership features.
10. Set DISABLEOLSFEATURES to 1. A value of 1 (DISABLEOLSFEATURES=1) disables retail online services and to display available educational online services.
11. Save the Setup.ini file and close Notepad.
12. To start the installation, right-click the Windows Command Prompt utility, select Run As Administrator, and navigate to the location containing the Setup.exe file. Type the following line with the appropriate modifications:
Installation Command:
"path to Setup.exe" /UL%LangCode% /V“SERIALNUMBER=%AOO volume license serial number%"
So please suggest that why the Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser is not getting installed by Silent call.
Thanks in Advance

InDesign CS5 7.0 Silent installation?

Dear all,
in our Company we use the Altiris Deployment solution for packaging and automatic deployment.
We need to create a silent installation of Adobe InDesign CS5 (7.0).
Our machines are running Windows XP SP3.
The installation should be in language german, without an serial (trail). The serial will be inserted
after installation from our IT-Department. All components have to be installed with the automatic
setup.
The folder structure from the setupfiles is the following:
--deploy
--packages
--payloads
--resources
-Set-up.exe
Could someone tell me which commands I have to use to install the files? I think I will also need
an customized "install.xml", is that right?
I am looking forward to get some answers soon.
best regards
Sefer
"install.xml"

I've tried all the advice given to date, but the ID CS5 version 7.0.4.553 crash continues to occur on start up only on one user profile with error message EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS).
It looks like others have had a similar problem, but theyve been able to resolve it by copying over their preferences from an earlier version of ID, but I don't have earlier versions on this computer, so I'm out of luck.
I doubt copying over preferences is ever correct. There are no documented cases that I know of where copying preferences works and deleting them does not.
Essentially every crash gives an EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) error. You need to inspect the stack trace for anything that is specific to yours. In your case it references a ProtectiveShutdown, so consult the ProtectiveShutdownLog file in the InDesign Recovery folder for more information.
You deleted all of these?:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS5
~/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign
~/Library/Caches/com.adobe.InDesign
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign
~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.InDesign.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.InDesign.plist.lockfile

Silent install switches for iTunes 10 for Windows

I want to do large scale silent installations of iTunes 10 for Windows.
I also don't want iTunes it to automatically run, once the install has finished.
I'm using the /quiet /passive switches.
The program seems to install without a problem, but when it tries to automatically run it gives an error message.
Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2 (Windows error 2)
I'm not sure how to automatically install Apple Application Support, which would presumably solve the error message problem.

Hi Gold. AppDeploy is probably the place to check, although digging through for the relevant information is going to be a trial. here's a link to their 9.x page, but the other version information from version 7.x may be relevant too.
EDIT: sorry, forgot the link:
