Incorrect desktop shortcut with Elements 11 silent install

Hello all,
I'm attempting a silent install of Photoshop Elements 11 following the instructions from http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-photoshop-element s-1.html . The install works however it is placing a shortcut to the Organizer rather than Elements on the desktop. I am not installing the organizer so the shortcut will not work. Does anyone know of a method to have the silent install add the elements shortcut rather than the organizer? Thanks!

Can't you create your own desktop shortcut by dragging the executable to the desktop, then assign it a name and an icon (if it doesn't pull in its own)?

Desktop Shortcut with transaction and layout

Hi everybody.
I try to have a desktop shortcut with transaction but with automaticaly specific layout selected.
I try to play with my notepad in .SAP file, try to study .SAP file made for workflow process, but without succes.
Any ideas / parameters ?
Thank you

In order to get 1.4 to create a desktop shortcut, you must specify an href in in the jnlp tag so that it knows the complete URL of the JNLP file:
<jnlp codebase="..." href="...">

Photoshop Elements 11 Silent install not that silent

Hi,
After following the Silent Install Instructions here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-photoshop-element s-1.html it still is not fully silent.
As mentioned in the KB article you need to create a application.xml.override file that is said to supress the Eula but it still shows up.
The actual install of the software is silent but on first start it shows the ElementsOrganizer EULA then makes you select a Country/Region and then shows the Photoshop Elements 11 EULA.
Is there any way that we can supress both of the EULA's and automatically mark Australia as the Country/Region??

@99jon,
That did help out alot. In the end I added Country=12 on to the end of my install command which is the country code for Australia.
I also added in another line in to both of the application.xml.override file which supressed the EULA's
<Data key="EULA">Suppress</Data>
I also used this method for a silent uninstall which might help other users

(Windows 7 and Windows XP) Click Start (Windows-Logo), and type "cmd". Press [Shift]+[CTRL]+[ENTER].
Run the following command to uninstall Photoshop Elements.Verify that the Photoshop Elements 10 folder has been removed from the Program Files folder after running the command.
start /wait Msiexec /x { EE549AF9-8FAA-4584-83B2-ECF1BC9DC1FF} NOT_STANDALONE=1 /qn
After the uninstallation is complete, run the following command to uninstall Elements Organizer. Verify that the Elements 10 Organizer folder has been removed from the Program Files folder after running the command.
start /wait Msiexec /x {22D3A614-482C-444A-932C-9DA1B8ECDFD2} NOT_STANDALONE=1 /qn
After Elements Organizer has been uninstalled, run the following commands to uninstall STIs (ACR, APE, ESTK). The following procedure assumes that you are using the C drive as your boot drive. Modify the command accordingly if you are using a different drive.

Premiere Elements 12 Silent Install

Hello, we are trying to deploy Premiere Elements 12 silently. We have followed the instructions for Premiere Elements 10.
We created the Application Override file (apllication.xml.override) with the following lines
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
          <Configuration>
                    <Payload>

                    </Payload>
          </Configuration>
We edited the ABcpy.ini file to as follows:
[OEM Install]
SERIALNUMBER=
INSTALLDIR=
DISABLEEMSFEATURES=1
DISABLEOLSFEATURES=1
STARTMENULOCATION=
SMARTSOUND=1
Then we run the command line as follows:
OEM.exe /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=[serail number removed by moderator]"
We skip the Start/Wait as we are deploying it via SCCM.
The program installs but it's not registerd.
WHat are we missing or is the deployment different for Version 12. We had the same issues with version 11 and never got it to work.

Open File - Security Warning with Network-based Silent Install of CS4

I am attempting to run an enterprise deployment of CS4 Design Standard Edition onto a pool of WinXP Pro workstations. I placed all of the install files on a networked server running Windows 2003, and generated from there all of the requisite .xml files (install, uninstall, and override files). From this network share, I can successfully run a silent install.
HOWEVER. Multiple times (two or three) during the course of the silent install, I receive the same pop-up security warning from Windows XP (definitely an OS message, not anti-virus or other) that reads as follows:
Open File - Security Warning
Do you want to run this file?
Name: AIRApplicationRunner.exe
Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
Type: Application
From: (server IP address)
I have tried excluding Adobe Air from the installation package, but I still receive the same security prompt. This is sufficiently a hassle to have to click through these prompts in a silent install. But more importantly I am unable to run the silent install as part of a logoff script because for all intents & purposes it is no longer a silent install (i.e. it requires user intervention). To top it off, I found when testing the logoff script the prompts are suppressed and the installation fails prior to the bulk of the installation (Photoshop, Illustrator, & InDesign).
I'm sure that I could run the install by copying all of the files to each local workstation, but again that would defeat the purpose of an easy, network-based install. In the past I was able to install CS3 in this fashion with no troubles, which of course did not include Adobe Air.
Can anybody offer a suggestion as to how to disable these security messages, or alternately, how to entirely exclude Adobe Air from the install package? I have found a VB script that is supposed to address the security warnings issue, but to run the script also requires the user to accept it at a security prompt.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I'm now able to deploy design suite premium cs4 successfully.
The issue for me was that the AirapplicationRunner installs some useless software. I worked around the issue with the Airapplicationrunner prompt by removing any apps that are installed using that method. By "removing" I mean marking that app as "donotinstall" in the deployment file. The apps I removed are these adobe codes for adobe media player, adobe.com, adobeair itself. The below is from my deploy.xml file used for the silent workflow:
donotinstall
donotinstall
donotinstall
If you mark those three adobe codes as "donotinstall" the prompt never appears and the real apps get installed just fine.

Can't install CS2 on laptop with Elements 11 already installed.

I'm taking a workshop that requires Photoshop. I use Elements 11 currently. I bought a new laptop and installed my Elements with no problem. When I went to install CS2 it says it can't find any files with CS5. My question is there a way to install CS2 without uninstalling my Elements 11? My computer lady says it's quit involved removing all parts of Photoshop from files. I went with an older version of Photoshop because I plan on only using the CS2 for this workshop and going back to Elements afterwards. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My new system is Windows 8.1

At least for Photoshop, CS (1) runs as does CS2 and CS 3 on my macs. I still have CS2 as Genuine Fractals doesn't work with CS3 without upgrading and I don't feel like paying for that so I run 2 to use it for scaling. Adobe was pretty clear on compatibility or not and you could have chosen not to install it based on their comments.
You can install OSX "backwards" with the original install disk for your machine or a retail install disk - it would have to be a clean install of course not an A&I or upgrade.
I retained Tiger with a clone backup on all three macs , apparently you did not think to make a backup first.
Why don't you just partition a smallish part of the drive to accommodate a basic Tiger installation and install CS2 on that and just boot into it when required? You can repartition non destructively now. That is probably the fastest and simplest way to run dual OS rather that reverting everything to Tiger. Or use an external FW disk and install Tiger to that and boot from it as needed. No different than Boot Camp, to use Windows when needed.

Photoshop Elements 9 Silent install - XP

We are trying to roll out Photoshop Elements 9 in our company and I have the install working correctly, however when the program is launched for the first time it is asking the users to choose a location...
My command line is this:
Start "Install_PSElements9" /wait setup.exe /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
I have created the file "application.xml.override" with this content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="EULADelay">0</Data>
<Data key="EULA">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>
I have edited these three lines in the setup.ini file:
DISABLEEMSFEATURES=1
DISABLEOLSFEATURES=1
WATCHSERVICE=0
All of these changes come from this post I found out on the Internet:
http://d4rkcell.com/archives/180
The page references an 'Elements.ini' file being copied into the 'C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\9.0' folder, which is for Win7...
What is causing the program to still ask for a location and how do I suppress that?

I’m not sure entirely, it’s all rather technical, but could you have a language code missing?
See this tech note. It relates to Premiere Elements but it may give some clues.

Silent install of Photoshop Elements 10 via SCCM fails

Hi all, hoping someone can help. I'm trying to push out deployment of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 via SCCM. From Adobe's site I found details on adding an XML file to preconfigure various default settings and perform a silent install. I can push out
the package to my test PC's cache folder no problem, but the advertisement fails with "Failed (bad environment)" message ID 10003. The system cannot find the file specified."
However, I can install the program manually, running the same code from the command line. So, on my test PC, if I go to c:\windows\system32\cache\(package) from the command line, I can type the following "start /wait Setup.exe /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
(as per Adobe's instructions) and Photoshop Elements 10 will silently install just fine.
I've read elsewhere that SCCM can have issues with server paths and making use of the %~dp0 variable but I'm unsure if that applies here. In SCCM, in the program properties for PE10, the drive mode is set to "Runs with UNC name." I tried changing to 'requires
drive letter" but it still failed. I'm guessing I'm dealing with some sort of environment issue but I'm stuck as to how to fix. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Sir_Timbit

I used "start /wait" as that was what was listed on Adobe's silent install instructions at http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-photoshop-elements-1.html
Again, it installs fine manually, *if* I point a command prompt to c:\windows\system32\ccm\cache\(cache folder)\ and run the start /wait setup.exe line below. But through SCCM, the advertisement report shows:
Message ID:10003. Failed (bad environment)
An error occurred while preparing to run the program for advertisement "ABC20074" ("ABC00041" - "Install Photoshop Elements 10"). The operating system reported error -2147024894: The system cannot find the file specified. Additional program properties: Command

Custom Office desktop shortcuts deployed during change install show white

I have created a custom MS Office 2013 .MSP file with the Office Customization Tool using the setup.exe /adminfile. Our initial push was just with Outlook 2013. This created a shortcut on the Desktop. This worked great.
I now want to change the customizations and deploy the rest of Office. I do this using the msiexec.exe /p new.MSP command with a new MSP file created adding the other Office applications. This works as expected too except the newly added desktop icons show
a blank piece of paper as an icon. The other shortcuts in the start menu folder work fine and these blank icon shortcuts on the desktop work fine.
If I try to modify the shorcut icons on the desktop the "Open file location" and "Change icon" buttons are grayed out.
If I rip out Office 2013 and then do a full install with a new .MSP file using the setup.exe /adminfile this correctly adds the desktop shortcuts with correct icons. I'd rather not uninstall and then reinstall.
It seems the problem is with the msiexec install method.
I have seen this post from a similar problem in Office 2007 install here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/8849cc08-cada-417c-9c91-c71610ec62cf/repair-custom-office-shortcuts-deployed-during-install-with-msp-file?forum=officeitproprevious
The registry fix did not apply as there were no registry subkeys named with a number from zero to 100 in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers.
Any other options to resolve this?
Thanks,
Bob

Make sure that Office icon are still located on the path %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office 15\Root\VFS\Windows\Installer\{90150000-000F-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
Please test to create a new shortcut from the program's exe file, then see if you may be able to change the icon of this new shortcut from the properties
Let me know the result above. Thanks.
By the way, some of 3rd party utility on the market may enable greyed out controls, I don't make the introductions here.

Silent install Premiere Elements 10, 32 and 64-bit

I found the article on how to do a silent install of Premiere Elements 10 at http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-premiere-elements- 4.html
My question is how do I combine the 32 and 64-install files, or do I? I have an x86 folder for the 32bit, and x64 for the 64bit versions of Premiere Elements. Each has a PRE 10 and ReadMe folders. Can I combine these folders together, so both 32 and 64-bit versions are all in one PRE 10 folder? It would appear that some files would be overwritten, although most appear to be identical, so not sure how important that is.
Also, can you clarify the setup and location of the optional content folder. I have a folder called "PRE 10 Content" that has several subfolders such as "Adobe Premiere Elements 10 Content 1" and "Adobe Premiere Elements 10 HD Content 1" etc. My understanding is the top level folder should be renamed Templates, but I seem to be getting stuck as to exactly which folder that is. Should the set up be PRE 10\Templates\PRE 10 Content\Setup.exe.
Or, are the installers for 32 and 64-bit versions of Premiere Elements meant to be separate from each other?
Thanks,
Sir_Timbit

SirTimbit
John T. Smith's input sounds sound, there may be one block in pursuing that suggestion.
I would agree with John T. Smith that Adobe is the one to sort out its Adobe Tech document for you if it will. It often restricts its assistance if the matter does not relate to purchased/registered/current version. And, Premiere Elements is not the current version.
Have you contacted Adobe about this matter and been refused help for the reason that I referred to?
And, out of curiosity, I would ask "Does the following apply to you?
Only Enterprise customers can perform the following procedures to silently install Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on Windows with an Adobe volume license (AVL).
What computer are you using and how many installation discs do you have?
Adobe is indeed your first choice, maybe your only choice, on this if it will help you with version 10.

Hi jam62m,
Please follow the steps mentioned in kb article : http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-premiere-elements- 4.html
and command to install Premiere elements silently is : start/wait OEM.exe /UL%LangCode% /V“SERIALNUMBER=%Adobe volume license serial number%”
Example : C:\ Adobe Premiere Elements 10/Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - 64 Bit> start/wait OEM.exe /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111"

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.

Do I have the right leid? I couldn't find any information on how to get the Adobe ID working.
