Help with Silent Install

Hi
I'm trying to perform a silent install of XE in winXP sp2 and get the same result each time, the installs starts up shows an icon on the taskbar and then exits with resultcode=-3.
I've been through the forums and tried everything possible so far without success.
The normal install works fine and I was able to create a response file which I then attempted to use for the silent install, I also tried the response file on the Oracle site with the same result. Is there anyway to determine at which dialog the installer is failing or is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
Govind

What userid are you using to perform the install?
Because of the way my company manages security on our laptops, I had to create a "local" account on the laptop. Then add that "local" account as part of the Administrators of the laptop. My typical "network" based account would not complete the install EVEN THOUGH THAT "network" account was part of the Administrators group on the laptop.
There is also a feature called RunAs on Windows that allows you to run a scheduled install like the silent one using a different userid from the one you are logged in as.

Need help with silent install of Peoplesoft Internet Architecture

I have PT8.49.15 and need to do a silent installation of the web tier on linux. I am supposed to run the $PS_HOME/setup/PsMpPIAInstall/setup.linux which is a Microfocus Installshiled wizard. Any ideas how I can make this a silent installation? I need to automate all of my deployments and have not figured out how to create or pass in a response file to use as input. Is this possible?

I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online. It is not possible to uninstall it. Do you mean the iTunes application? Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too. You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

Problems with silent install of an AS10.1.2.0.2 infrastructure

Hello,
I posted this over on the database forum too. I'm trying to create a silent install for an AS 10.1.2.0.2 infrastructure database. I created the response file using the -record option for the installer. I then modified the response file according to the instructions in the app server installation documentation. When I run setup with the response file I get the follow error...

Do you already have an AS running on this machine? If you're doing a reinstall, did you remove the inventory and all appropiate registry settings?

Sequencing with silent install

When sequencing one could run through the GUI's of a setup. After that some adjustments are likely needed like deleting the uninstall/desktop shortcut and so on.
The other possibility is to use a silent setup as input for the sequencer. A lot off applications come with a vendor .MSI nowadays. This gives the opportunity to create a transform file which in many occasions can prevent the creation of uninstall/desktop shortcuts
and other customization's as needed.
Now, I'm writing guidelines on how external parties should deliver app-v packages to us. I stated that, if possible, they should deliver the command line of the silent setup used as input for the sequencer. However, they see this as the creation of two packages,
MSI/silent setup and App-V.
I wanted to check how other people work. Do they first create a silent setup and use that as input or do they launch the setup GUI and repeat what is documented in the manual installation document.
In my opinion the advantage of using a silent setup as input is that you can easily replicate a local install in case there is a problem with the appv package. It also customizes the setup during install so adjustments afterwards are not needed, resulting in
a somewhat cleaner package. The 3th advantage I see is that often you can reuse the .mst/command line when a new version is needed.
What are your thoughts on requesting a silent install from the sequencers?

What are your thoughts on requesting a silent install from the sequencers?
This is a perfect case of there is no wrong way to do it, but what you said above is very true. In fact, packaging software like Flexera Admin Studio encourage you to do it this way. They don't want you to think of a package as a single deployment
type, but rather however you want to deploy the software (MSI, App-V, etc).
The investment in time is likely the biggest hurdle. When you have to do something simple, creating an MSI/silent command first and then creating an App-V package is 2x the work. Its not a bad standard to go with though. And as Tibervis
said, it does come in handy if you need to perform an upgrade or otherwise need to start sequencing from scratch again. It is in my opinion 2 packages, just as it would be 2 packages to create an App-V 4 and App-V 5 package even if you used powershell
to convert the 4x package to 5. This gets very into your process though.
Just watch out you aren't making you own life 10x harder to protect yourself from something that only might happen a small percentage of the time. Keep in mind that there are also going to be deployments where the App-V package requires work the MSI
doesn't - a driver, a component that needs to be outside the bubble, etc. Having an MSI won't help you create the App-V in that case, and if you ask packagers to create an MSI, an App-V, and an App-V instruction guide (for packagers eyes only) you might
be shot on sight.

Need Help Automating (Silent Install) and Serializing PSE 12. Installation (Volumn License)

I am trying to automate and serialize a silent installation for PSE 12. I have a volume license for 50 users. The old Silent Install command (PSE 11) no longer works for a silent install (PSE 12). I need this routine to suppress the EULA and any other user interaction required. Additionally I need the installation to NOT require end users to Login using an Adobe Digital ID.
I've attempted to try the "Solution" found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5945374 . So far I've been unsuccessful. Here are the steps I've taken thus far.
Copied install files to a network drive.
Installed PSE 12 on a local Computer and using the Volumn Serial Number and Registered the program.
Downloaded the latest version of APTEE.
I've ran Ran the following on the registered computer successfully with a return code of 0: adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=<<Volume SN>> --leid="V7{}PhotoshopElements-EMT12-Win-GM" --regsupress=ss

That seems at variance with the example code in the links I posted:
Have you gone to chat via the Volume Licensing support page - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/avl-help.html. There is reference on that page to the Enterprise Deployment Forum (it seems more geared to Cloud subscriptions, but there are people posting Elements questions).

Tips and help with re-installing Lion over Snow Leopard

I had MAJOR issues with my initial Lion install on my Mid-2009 MBP- so much so, that I had to wipe my hard drive and re-install Snow Leopard and all my applications. My major issues were as follows:
1. All my files were locked out- I could open them in most cases, but I couldn't overwrite them- Lion had aded some funky permissions scheme that I didn't recognize, and my user name wasn't present on any of them. In some cases, I couldn't even open files, even though they were resident on my hard drive (and in my own user folder) before the upgrade to Lion.
2. Apple's own Universal Binary apps wouldn't work after the upgrade. Final Cut Pro 6, in particular, came up with a message that it was a "PowerPC" app and wouldn't run- yet Shake 4.1 would run just fine!
3. Adobe Creative Suite 3- after the upgrade, my Abode Ceative Suite 3 apps worked just fine, for about a day- that is, until I tried to correct the file permissions issue by changing permission on a few of my folders in my User folder (and electing to change permissions in the files contained therein)- at which point my Adobe apps told me that they were damaged and needed to be reinstalled. Yet after uninstaling and reinstalling the entire Creative Suite 3 times, I still would get the same message.
My entire workflow is Adobe CS and FCS2- why chould I have to pay the upgrade costs just to use Lion? FCPX is completely brkoen for my workflow and eqipment, and Adobe can't even guarantee that CS5 works with Lion- so why does Apple insist on Lion when it's hardly even compatible with its own products?
I really want to use Lion, but I am looking for some tips on instalation to kep these problems from happening again. I didn' have ANY of these problems with upgrading OS 10.2 through 10.6. Any help with prepping my system/files for upgrading would be helpful. Thanks!

Me, I think clone backups are more useful, and only use T.M. as secondary.
Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
I'd assume that professional apps may need to be tested still; and of course check to see what you have that depends on PowerPC code and Rosetta first. That has some in a tither.
A clone lets you still be able to boot Snow Leopard. Check out Carbon Copy, SuperDuper.

Problem with silent install of 11gR1 on Windows 2008

I'm doing a silent install of 11gR1 on Windows Server 2008. It works fine on Windows Server 2003. I have SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK set to false, yet it seems to be forcing it to true and then it fails the install because I have an invalid metalink username/password. In the install log I get this, as expected:
INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'false'. Received the value from response file.
but then I get this later on:
INFO: Setting the value of SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK to true
INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'true'. Received the value from a code block.
SEVERE: Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
INFO: User Selected: Yes/OK
Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
Why is it forcing this to true? As I said, this same exact response file works fine with Server 2003. Any suggestions?
Oh, also, I've tried forcing the value to false on the command line and by not specifiying a value (because the default is supposedly false).
Thanks in advance

Help with Classic install

Hi all, I'm sure this question has been asked before so forgive me. I've looked all around and found solutions that were 'similar' to my problem but none that will work. here we go.
I just got an old Mac G4 tower (AGP) and bought Tiger to put on it. (not sure what version of OSX was on it before) Anyway I did a clean install and everythig works great. No problems at all.
I was installing a program yesterday that turns out needs Classic support. Right now there is no updated version of this program and I need to run it. My machine doesnt have Classic support. How do I install it? I've read that there is a second install disk that you can use my my boxed version of OSX has only one disk. I searched the disk and see that there is a Classic folder on it with an install app but when i run it it doesnt do anything. It just informs me that neither of my hard drivers have Classic.
I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I REALLY need to run this legacy application.

I'd find that 2nd DVD, it's supposed to come with OSX

OS 9 has not shipped with OS X since Jaguar.
However, OS 9 does ship with PPC Macs. It should be on the install DVD, or on the 2nd or 3rd CD, depending on which Mac. Example: my original 700 MHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.1 and OS 9.2.2 on separate CDs, both bootable. My 1.25 GHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.3 and OS 9.2.2, with the OS X disc being bootable and the OS 9.2.2 disc being part of the applications suite and not being bootable. My 2.1 GHz iMac shipped with OS X 10.4 and OS 9.2.2 on the same DVD. OS 9.2.2 is again part of the application suite and cannot be booted from the DVD. The Intel Macs at the office shipped with OS X 10.4 and that's it, no OS 9.2.2 as Classic does not run on them.
A boxed set of OS X 10.2 shipped with OS 9.2.2 on a separate CD. (It was a white 'universal install' CD and would install on all Macs produced up to that time.) I have such a boxed set on a shelf in the cupboard right now. A boxed set of OS X 10.3 shipped with four CDs, none of which was OS 9. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. A boxed set of 10.4 shipped with a single DVD. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. I have just opened the box and verified by sight: one DVD, OS X only. A further check of the contents of that DVD show no mention of OS 9.
The OP will need to have the system CDs or DVD which shipped with his Mac to install Classic.

Repackaging Safari 5.1.7 with silent install and custom settings

Hi everyone,
I'm searching for a solution to create a custom installation for Safari 5.1.7.
I accomplished the same task for other browsers using the MSI extraction from the .EXE installer and using different methods to set custom settings like: EULA accepted, default home page, etc during the installation process.
My question here is if Apple supports or allows to do a redistribution of its application for large Windows Enterprise environments with this kind of custom settings using either Flexera Install Shield or any other to modify the MSI installer and accomplish this task without the need of using external .JS, .XML files like other browser silent installations supports for redistribution / repackaging.
I isolated the Safari MSI file to prevent the installation of the other software that comes with the main .EXE: AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, Bonjour and Bonjour64.msi, SetupAdmin.exe but I can't modify the default home page or prevent the prompt to set the default browser from inside the MSI to have it done.
This custom settings should be done in a more elegant way than using Regedit to search for the changes after the Setup finishes.
If you have any answer for this please let me know.
Kind regards.

Well I guess I have to reply to myself. No one seems to know this one.
I found that : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2316559?threadID=2316559 is Not working for Safari 5.1.7 on Windows 7 x64 even if you tried to open the pslist file from : ...\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\com.apple.Safari.plist the file seems that will be set as per user and even if you modify it it will not work.
No support has been found to have a GPO neither Flexera Admin Sudio Repackager or Tunner has succeeded to repackage or Build a successful MSI using Isolate or Installation Monitoring process due to some errors during the installation pointing to folder : C:\Windows\winsxs
So, basically I just need to confirm with any Apple guru if this is Possible or Not to do that or what could be the solution to get a normal SCCM 2012 package for Safari 5.1.7 with custom settings: Home Page, Disable ask for Default Browser, Disable Ask for Updates.
By the way I have the switches that works fine for Silent install and it works fine:
msiexec /i Safari.msi /qn SCHEDULE_ASUW=0 DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=1 installdir="%programfiles(x86)%\Safari" allusers=true reboot=suppress
I will really appreciate if some one replies asap !!!!
Thanks and Kind regards.

Hi,
Just Pro 7.0.0 (I'll integrate the patches to 7.0.9 later)
I'm not keen on an Admin install, as this poses problems when patching (i.e. you have to do a "reinstall=All"). I prefer to integrate released patches into the silent install package, and for subsequent patches, just package them for silent install and push them down to the client.
Reader 8.0 is on the machine only.
The base build contains Reader 8.0, the we deliver a package to the machine to silently install Acrobat Pro 7
Thanks,
mark

Hi Ali,
re: this open firmware issue, how do you get around it? I really did not understand the support page you link to...but wonder if it is causing me trouble; i.e. shift and other keys do not work. How do I access these keys then?
Is this a Wireless KB you have? Many aren't recognized until after booting.
Hmmm, you've got the firmware Update needed for the AGP to install/use 10.4...
I think I'd try this, worked for me on 3 such macs...
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then choose MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Partition tab.
6. Click Erase & look for Security Options. choose Zero 1 pass."

Help with Re-installing an app through app manager after after accidental uninstalled?

Okay - I've purchased lightroom 4, with the intent to upgrade my creative suite from 5.5 to 6 a week or so ago... Adobe was kind enough to credit me back as at time of upgrade, CS6 was no longer available and lightroom 4 would have been included in my CC membership.
I've installed all the CC apps, and received a weird german email about LR4 intalls... So I uninstalled my current copy of LR4 and went to re-install from the CC app manager... It says that it is already installed and won't let me download it from the site... The trouble is that it isn't really installed anymore, and now I really need to use it... Any help would certainly be appreicated.
Thanks.

If you are using Windows Mahcine then go to control panel and uninstall the lightroom properly from there.
If you are using MAC then go to /Applications/Utilities/Adobe installers and find the uninstaller of lightroom and double click the same to uninstall.
If still you are not able to uninstall the application completly then use CS cleaner tool to uninstall the software. you can download CS cleaner tool from : http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

[SOLVED] need help with virtualbox install

I'm a relative n00b to Arch, haging migrated from Ubuntu (pha!!). Arch rocks!
However, my beloved virtualbox isnt playing ball!
After many hours of getting arch up and running I now need some assitance please with VirtualBox PEUL. I've googled and search these wikis and found:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
http://www.mail-archive.com/vbox-users% … 02889.html
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox
but, I dont know how to install.
I used yaourt (having spent another many hours trying to get to speed with what Arch AUR is and yaourt!!)
This is what I did:
1. Visited http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and followed PEUL instructions...
2. Click on AUR link and then click on PKGBUILD and it downloaded a PKGBUILD from here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
3. Then went back to the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and clicked on VirtualBox_1.5.6-1_Linux_x86.run and downloaded the file.
4. In accordance with the instructions on the wiki, I ran makepkg
HOWEVER, I get errors!!:
# makepkg --asroot

Can anyone help please? In Ubuntu all this was just installed with dpkg -i VirtualBox.deb
I'm sure Arch is just as "simple" :-)

Good idea, I checked this out originally but it didnt work so I went for "manual" install.
The download from yaourt never starts, just hangs - the server is dead or something?? ...

Hello!
Thanks a lot for this package :o)
Just a quick comment about where to copy the Sun .run package. It should be put to where the tarball from AUR was extracted.
In my case, it is /home/[users]/virtualbox-bin/
Cheers
Chris

Can't get the kernel module working in 2.6.25, vbox_build_module completes fine, but I get the following error:
$ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv (/lib/modules/2.6.25-ARCH/misc/vboxdrv.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
with these messages in dmesg:
vboxdrv: Unknown symbol change_page_attr
vboxdrv: Unknown symbol change_page_attr

Maybe you could find this instructions helpful
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02889.html
I've not tried this myself but I will do it soon and post the info here. Maybe create a separate package for 2.6.25 kernels it's a good idea.

The vboxdrv from the mailinglist of virtualbox runs here without problems on 2.6.25 with vbox 1.5.6

Help with archive & install

Aloha!
I hope someone can help me since I've been searching and reading these discussions all day and haven't found the answer to my problem.
I updated my OS to Leopard 10.5 and began experiencing problems. I did a archive and install back to Tiger 10.4 and now don't know how to restore all the user files in the "previous system folder". I've read the Apple article on restoring after archive and install but I don't understand the whole instructions. I tried creating a new user (with same short name and password) and created a .dmg file of the previous system user folder using disk utility. After copying the files, it doesn't allow me to open the applications. It says I don't have sufficient access privileges. I can't confirm if the file transfer was successful. I'm totally lost and confused. Any help will be appreciated.

Which article was that please?
