Hotkey Integratio​ns is silent install even possible?

So I've been struggling with this for a few days.
When deploying new computers. along with 20 other applications
I aim to install 'Hotkey Integrations' both for t61, t500, t520, x230 and x240..
I use SCCM 2012.
now the problem is attempting to unattend/silently install lenovo hotkey integration fails.
cause its not really a silent install.. unlike all the other applications, despite the fact you tell it to be silent
it still shows a few popups during the progress
to deploy the application
I use this parameter "setup.exe /s -sms"
I've also attempted with "%~dp0SETUP.EXE /S"
They share the fact that they work perfectly, when I run the installation manually, or simply deploy directly to a computer. it popsup, shows the install window, and installs correctly.
but the very fact it popsup is probably also what kills the task sequence.
The fact is my 19 other applications work like a charm when I don't include the hotkey integration install
and the logs tell me afterwards that the hotkey failed.
anyone heard about this perhaps?

  • Photoshop Elements 11 boxed software installed once in Dec. 2012 won't install on new computer. Disk can't be read (tested on 3 different computers). How is that even possible of a meticulously clean, well-protected disk?

    Dear Adobe,
    I need your help!
    On December 12th, 2012 I ordered (purchased) by mail an official copy of the boxed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 software from B&H Photo (New York, NY). I installed it successfully without any problem on my then computer. I have enjoyed using the program since then, it’s great. This past week, however, that same computer died and I was force to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1).
    To my big surprise, the Elements disk wouldn’t load off my DVD drive. The drive just kept “clicking” for 20 minutes.  After trying several times from reboot, for an hour and a half, I then tried installing it on my laptop, just to see if my drive was faulty. No, it wasn’t. It too immediately went into an endless “clicking” routine trying to read the disk. And for one last try, I put it in my sister’s laptop and she got the very same result - endless “clicking”, no install. No computer could read the disk!!!
    How is this even possible from a commercially made disk I used only once in 2012! The disk is meticulously clean, unscratched, unscuffed, put away in its original box and stored on my shelf in a cool place away from the sun!
        Serial Number of faulty disk:  1057-4186-6029-0039-1511-3940
    Is there anything you can do about this as I see no reason why I should be forced to spend over a $130 (in Canada) to replace a disk that worked only once!
    Regards, Andre

    copy your disc contents to a desktop directory.  install from that directory.
    if that fails, download the installation files:

  • Possible to Silently Install Coldfusion 9 Updates?

    Hello,
    I need to know if it is possible to silently install CF9 updates, such as 9.0.1. I am following this ColdFusion document located here -> http://blogs.adobe.com/cfdoc/2009/10/performing_a_silent_installation_of_coldfusion_9.html for installing CF 9, but now I need to silently install the 9.0.1 update. This would need to work on Linux and Windows.
    So, the website below works for vanilla CF 9, but doesn't seem to work for 9.0.1 . I have tried to edit the installer.properties file with the questions the 9.0.1 installer asks you, but it does not workl. I am attempting to do this on a RHEL 5 system at the moment. Once I run "./ColdFusion_update_901_WWEJ_linux.bin -f installer.properties" this is the output on the sreen:
    Preparing to install...
    Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...
    Unpacking the JRE...
    Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
    Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
    Launching installer...
    Preparing SILENT Mode Installation...
    ===============================================================================
    Adobe ColdFusion 9.0.1                           (created with InstallAnywhere)
    There is stays and hangs with a blinking cursor. It will never finish. Please let me know if you have any information about if this is possible or if you have successfully done this before.. Thank you.

    I was able to generate a response file using the -r option like so:
    $ sudo ./ColdFusion_update_901_WWEJ_linux.bin -i console -r
    This resulted in the following installer.properties file:
    # Thu Dec 08 18:15:26 PST 2011
    # Replay feature output
    # This file was built by the Replay feature of InstallAnywhere.
    # It contains variables that were set by Panels, Consoles or Custom Code.
    #Configure Installation

    #Configure ColdFusion 9
    USER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/coldfusion9
    #Web CFIDE Directory Location
    USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_1=\"/opt/coldfusion9/wwwroot/CFIDE\"
    I then attempted a silent install using with and without this response file like so:
    $ sudo ./ColdFusion_update_901_WWEJ_linux.bin -i silent [-f installer.properties]
    Each time I attempted a silent install the installer would get stuck in a loop generate the following error until killed:
    Install Action:           Jump To: Next Validate_CFIDE_Directory -- Prev: NO JUMP
                              Status: ERROR

    I'm able to run the installer fine in the interactive console mode. Any input anyone can provide would be very useful. Thanks!

  • Silent Install Adds IE Plugin even when disabled

    the "SdAskOptions" section with a component count of 0 should skip the IE plugin option, but it's not.
    The interesting thing is that when I did the manual install to generate this script, the plugin was not installed...it behaves differently when I run the install from the generated script!
    Does anyone know what's wrong here?

    Dan.

    Hi,
    look at this thread:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=14&thread=268807
    I had the same problems with the silent installation of JRE 1.4.0_01 on Windows XP. The only chance to correct the unwanted Plug-In activation in IE is to modify the registry.
    With the following commands you can patch the registry after the silent install:
    REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.4.0_01" /v UseJava2IExplorer /f
    REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN" /f
    REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501}\TreatAs" /f
    But be aware of the fact, that any change in the registry is a kind of operation on the open heart.
    By the way, I need some help for my topic concerning Java Webstart installation path(http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=32&thread=296708). Any idea?

  • 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.

  • Adobe Reader Silent Install for Mac OS X

    Is there a silent install package available for Mac OS X? The "enterprise" site seems to provide the same installer file as the normal site. We need to distribute Adobe Reader across ~600 machines, but the first time you open Reader it prompts users with a license agreement and then asks for administrative privileges. Even worse, it doesn't seem to install the Adobe Reader plugin until after that occurs.
    Also, is it possible to get an installer package that leaves out AIR, Acrobat.com and Adobe Updater?

    I know nothing about Mac OS, but perhaps you can find some information in

  • Silent install and activation of 50x copies of PhotoShop Elements 12 TLP

    I am trying to deploy a 50-user TLP licence of PSE12 to 50 PCs without having to visit each PC, as was possible with previous versions.
    I have the silent install completing without error but the product is not activated, and needs me to sign in with an Adobe ID on each PC. Even once per PC, this is not acceptable for a network install.
    Also I note that end users can Sign Out of the Adobe ID thereby deactivatingthe software for all users of the PC, until I revisit and sign in again. And no, we are not going to give all users the Adobe ID credentials. Even before events of the past week
    The PSE12 install logs shows "Override files does not exist . Overwrite the value of Override dir to be a blank string" - it is not finding application.xml.override, even though the file is definitely accessible in the right places and is in UTF-8 format.
    (In addition, therefore, updates are not suppressed.)
    My hunch is that the application.xml.override mechanism has been removed from PSE12 because of the new Adobe ID sign-in requirement?
    I'm aware that AMEE is not application to PSE deployment.
    I'd be grateful for assistance on this.
    Regards

    Hello!
    I did all required steps, as you mentioned above to serialize Adobe Elements 12, but it was not successfull. I had an return code=14 in oobelib.log.
    What I did:
    1) Installed "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12" on the machine
    2) It has been successfully installed.
    3) I opened "Command-line" cmd.exe as administrator (I have an administrative privileges on that machine)
    4) Run following command:
    adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial="my_serial_number" --leid="V7{}PhotoshopElements-EMT12-Win-GM" --regsuppress=ss
    where my_serial_number is my actually serial number with dashes.
    5) After few seconds I got following:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Error in the instructions for performing a silent install

    There's an error in the instructions for performing a silent install of Photoshop Elements:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-photoshop-element s-1.html
    In step 9, the instructions say to use the following command line:
    start /wait "path to Setup.exe" /UL%LangCode% /V“SERIALNUMBER=%AOO volume license serial number%"
    The correct command line, however, is this:
    start /wait "path to Setup.exe" /UL%LangCode% /V"SERIALNUMBER=%AOO volume license serial number%"
    See the difference? Look closely at the character after the /V. In the instructions on the website, they put in a "curly quote" character. This obviously needs to be a straight quote.
    Interestingly enough, the erroneous command line from the web site will actually work just fine as posted if all you are passing in the /V is the serial number. If, however, you wanted to add a "NODESKTOPICON=1" to disable the creation of a desktop shortcut, for example:
    start /wait "path to Setup.exe" /UL%LangCode% /V“SERIALNUMBER=%AOO volume license serial number% NODESKTOPICON=1"
    then it fails to run silently.
    I post this in the hopes that Adobe will fix the typo in their instructions and save other admins the hours of grief I've been put through today trying to get this working.

    Check the response file where you define the SGA memory size for the new database.
    You can also choose not to create the database at the installation and do it afterwards, making a specific response file for it. (I'd recommend specially this option. like that you can separate possible installation errors with the ones on the DB creation process).
    Good luck.

  • Silent Install of Acrobat 9 Pro

    I've seen a few questions about installing Acrobat 9 Pro silently on Mac OS X. Maybe someone's already dealt with this, but I thought it might be helpful. Installing Acrobat 9 Pro silently (and across multiple machines) is possible. I have not, however, figured out how to install Acrobat 9 updates silently (I could just be missing some documentation), so if anyone has any clues on this, please let me know.<br /><br />The key to installing Acrobat 9 Pro silently is licensing the application silently. This isn't documented (as far as I can tell), but you can use an application.xml.override file ( as outlined by the CS3 deployment docs: http://www.adobe.com/support/deployment/cs3_deployment.pdf ) to put in the license information. This file goes in "<path to Acrobat 9 Pro app>/Contents/Resources/AMT/".<br /><br />So here's a possible workflow for setting up a silent install:<br />1) package Acrobat 9 in a .pkg using Package Maker or a similar tool<br />2) create an application.xml.override file with the following text, replacing "YOUR KEY GOES HERE" with your key:<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><br /><Configuration><br /><Payload><br />     <Data key="Serial" protected="0">YOUR KEY GOES HERE</Data><br />     <Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data><br />     <Data key="EULA">Suprress</Data><br />     <Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data><br /></Payload><br /></Configuration><br /><br />3) write a shell script that installs the .pkg via installer (installer -pkg "Acrobat 9 Pro.pkg" -target /) and copies the application.xml.override to the correct directory (cp application.xml.override "/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Resources/AMT/application.xml.override")<br />4) run the shell script with root privileges (via sudo) and you're done!<br /><br />Again, if anyone has clues on installing updates silently, please share.

    It sounds like you are trying to use a retail serial as an enterprise serial and would like to bypass it's restrictions by deactivating it . . . I assume that's not possible, but perhaps I don't understand your issue.
    I doubt you'll get a good answer on the forum. Try support, your sales rep, or a help link on the licensing web site (if there is one).

  • Silent install of 10.1.0 (MUI) Reader and patches leaves teh previous Version in Add remove prog

    Hello,
    having major issues with a silent install to 3300 users.
    I Have a vb script that runs in SCCM to install reader 10.1.0 (MUI) and the increnetal patches for 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 both MUI.  I have created a transform to not use a desktop icon, turn on protect mode and supress the eula.  3 problems.
    1.  The script searches for old versions and completly install the mui version over all with the following command line:
    "AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst PATCH="AdbeRdrUpd1011_MUI.msp; AdbeRdrUpd1012_MUI.msp" ALLUSERS=1 LANG_ID=1033 PRODUCTLANGUAGE=1033 LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES REMOVE_PREVIOUS=YES EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES /qn /norestart /LOG c:\progra~1\Adobe\AdobeReader10.1.2.log"
    Setup.ini file reads:
    [Startup]
    RequireOS=Windows 2000
    RequireMSI=3.0
    RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
    CmdLine=/sl"1033" /rs /sPB
    [Product]
    msi=AcroRead.msi
    CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
    Languages=1033
    1033=English (United States)
    [Windows 2000]
    PlatformID=2
    MajorVersion=5
    ServicePackMajor=4
    [MSI Updater]
    Path=http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.0/misc/WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2 -x86.exe
    Problems on about 100 computers so far:
    1.  If the system had 10.1.1  and not the 10.1.1 MUI and 10.1.2 MUI stay in Add Remove Programs
    2. Systems that get the full uninstall and reinstall  even if adobe is closed and browser is closed and user can not read files from the web or email after the complete install to 10.1.2 mui.  Adobe works locally.
    3.  Some systems appear to upgrade fine. 
    HELP PLEASE!!!!

    With Administrative Installation Points I've always found it best to remove the old version first with a script using [msiexec.exe /x {APPLICATION_GUID} ] before installing the new AIP.  You should read the documentation about 10.x AIP though.

  • Silent Install of the TestStand Engine 2.0.1

    I am trying to do an unattended install of the TestStand Engine 2.0.1. I am using the "-noprompt" switch which makes the install silent except at the very end I get a dialogue box that say "You must reboot this computer...". I am also using InstallShield Professional 6.0 from which I launch then NI TestStand 2.0.2 engine.
    Does anyone have a solution to do a completely silent install?
    Thanks...Eric

    Eric,
    In general, we don't support creating silent installers because InstallShield isn't our development product. However, I have some information that may be of help. A normal (non-silent) installation receives the necessary input from the user in the form of responses to dialog boxes. As you know, a silent installation does not prompt the user for input. A silent installation must get its user input from a different source. That source is the InstallShield Silent Response File (.iss file). A response file contains information similar to that which an end user would enter as responses to dialog boxes when running a normal setup. InstallShield Silent reads the necessary input from the response file at run time.
    The format of response files resembles that of
    an .ini file, but response files have .iss extensions. A response file is a plain text file consisting of sections containing data entries. There are two ways in which you can create an InstallShield Silent Response File: you can run the setup and have InstallShield record and create the response file for you, or you can write the response file from scratch. It should be possible for you to create a response file that would contain a newline to confirm the reboot prompt. Your InstallShield documentation should provide more information regarding how you should create the response file.
    If you have any more questions, let us know.
