  • What download is good for Firefox 33 for silent install for windows os?

  • Oracle 10gR2 silent install on Windows 2008 server

    I understand that Oracle 10.2.0.5 is the ONLY supported version of db for Windows2008 server, but this is only a patch. There does not seem to be a complete install for the standard edition db server for 10.2.0.5
    I would like to know if anybody has successfully installed 10.2.0.3 silently and then updated the 10.2.0.5 patch silently. If so, how did you do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Is this for Win 2008 R1 or R2 ? If R2, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15680/toc.htm#BABEBBJF

  • Silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 for ALL users?

    We ship an installer that does a silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 with all the 'right' parameters pre-configured. We use this:
    /QS /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL,BC,Conn,ADV_SSMS /SAPWD=MyPasswordGoesHere /SECURITYMODE=SQL /TCPENABLED=1 /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT
    AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
    However, the problem is that if a tech installs it for another user, that user does not have access, since ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN flag only adds the user who installed it -- rather than adding ALL users on the computer. (Or at least all admins.)
    I tried replacing ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN with this:
    /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS"
    but that also failed to work. How can we install for all users, or at least all administrators?
    NOTE: we do NOT know the name of the computer or the users. The installer has to work for any computer setup.
    Similar question has already been asked, but wasn't helpful:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/8354675f-be9b-4909-b776-942f03954807/how-to-do-a-silent-install-of-sql-2010-express-for-all-users-on-a-computer?forum=sqlexpress
    The documentation does not make it clear what you can pass as allowed SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS parameters. I also am not sure if I would need to change the AGTSVCACCOUNT or SQLSVCACCOUNT?

    I tried one more thing:
    /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
    which does not halt installation with an error. 
    However, doing:
    osql -E
    create database test
    go
    in a command prompt from a different admin user on the same machine results in a permissions error... but works if done from a command prompt on the user account from which MSSQLServer was installed.
    So for some reason /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators" does not work as expected.
    Anyone have any idea why?
    I checked the output log from the install, and found it had generated and used a configurationFIle to do the install. I looked in that file, and these were the settings, even though I did NOT pass /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN as a command line option:
    ; Windows account(s) to provision as SQL Server system administrators. 
    SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
    ; The default is Windows Authentication. Use "SQL" for Mixed Mode Authentication. 
    SECURITYMODE="SQL"
    ; Provision current user as a Database Engine system administrator for SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. 
    ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN="True"

  • Silent Install fails, normal install works. Application Server 10.1.2

    Hi All,
    I'm setting up an automated install of Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2 (Forms and Reports). When I install it silently using a silent install file, the install completes succuessfully but it isn't actually fully functional, and it isn't recognized by OEM Grid Control.
    When I install it normally, using the gui, it works fine and is recognized by the OEM Grid Crontrol.
    I'm running on Solaris 10 zones, and I used the recording feature for Silent installations to generate a silent file, but that didn't help either.
    Any advice? Tips? Information and your own personal experience would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Silent install ADE 2.0 on Citrix server

    We are going to publish eBooks on out Citricx environment.
    Therefore we need Adobe ADE 2.0 to be installed installed.
    Is theare a way to silently install ADE 2.0 on my Citrix environment so we can publis the eBooks ?
    Of course the installation needs to be silently and after installing is registered (if required) and EULA is accepted.
    Any ideas if this is possible ?

    Do you have any previous failed installation on that box?
    If that's so, then you need to cleanup the registry for any previous installation, searh metalink for this procedure.
    Then you may need to rename (or delete), the history, usually under C:\Program Files\Oracle, you can rename the folder Oracle, cleanup any entry at the registry an try again.

  • 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.

  • Silent Install of CS3 on Windows 7 64 Bit

    Hello!
    I am with a School District and need to package CS3 for deployment to a lab.  The research that I've found makes it sound very easy using the line
    "setup.exe" --mode=silent --deploymentFile="install.xml" --skipProcessCheck=1
    and with our 32 bit XP machines it works great, no issues there.  We also have machines that are Windows 7 x64 and the same command line does not work at all.  With in a minute of execution it kills with exit error code 7.
    I've found some other properties to add within the install.xml file
    <Property name="INSTALLDIR">C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe</Property> 
    <Property name="os64Bit">1</Property>
    This unfortunately didn't work either.  I'm not too surprised since in the log file it shows repeatedly that it is trying to install to program files (x86) anyway.
    Can someone that has done the silent install on a 64 bit machine help me out at all (or anyone with any other ideas )??
    Thanks for any help!!

    Hi skat,
    Firstly i would advice windows 7 as such wont support,there are work arounds to install or mount on it but in long run it causes problems.64-bit is not supported for administration tool.
    If it is other OS also admin tool should be installed only on 32-bit .......hope oracle releases it on 64-bit too in short time with only admin tool alone to get installed.
    On windows 7 installation you get many blogs or forums to get installed.......Better to install on windows 2003/2008 server which output you better.
    hope helps you understand.
    Cheers,
    KK

    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?

  • Creating an automated silent install of Acrobat using InstallShield Tuner - Part 1

    For anyone who has tried to use the InstallShield Tuner application you'll know how buggy the program is and be aware of the lack of support from Adobe. After 4 months working on and off I managed to get a (mostly) working silent install. I thought I would share my findings with everyone so as to help prevent a few headaches.
    Note I am based in England and some of my comments may not apply to US customers.
    ================================
    Acrobat 6.0.1 Admin Install Point Creation & Maintenance
    Creating the Install Point
    1. Copy files to the network share that will be your Admin Install Point.
    For Acrobat Professional these files are on the Acrobat CD
    For Acrobat Reader you will need to download the latest version from www.adobe.com. Adobe is using a new compression package called Netopsystems FEAD Optimizer to deliver its Acrobat Reader application. To extract the files double click the downloaded .exe file and wait until the actual Reader installation begins. The uncompressed files are temporarily stored in %system root%\Cache\Adobe Reader 6.x.x\ENUBIG. Copy these files to the network share.
    Once the installation files are copied to the network share select them, right click, choose properties, switch off read-only attribute for all files (inc sub folders).
    2. Install the InstallShield Tuner 6.0.1 from Adobe Acrobat
    (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/deployment.html)
    3. Install the software that you intend to create a .MST file for (Acrobat Reader or Pro) and update it to the same version number as the Tuner (6.0.1 at the time of writing). The latest Acrobat can be downloaded from Adobe as can patches for Acrobat Professional.
    Note: After further investigation his step may not be necessary.
    4. Due to a bug in the InstallShield Tuner the PCs language and regional settings must all be set to English US. (START Menu Settings Control Panel Regional and Language Options). Set everything to English US.
    5. Run InstallShield Tuner 6.0.1 for Adobe Acrobat and when prompted choose Rdr60ENU.itw (for Acrobat Reader) or AcroPro.itw (for Acrobat Writer Pro). These files can be found in the location you specified in step 1.
    Acrobat Reader Configurataion
    1. When prompted choose Create a New Transform
    2. Select Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi as the base .MSI file
    3. Give the .MST file a name
    4. Click Create (this may take a minute to process)
    5. Configure your install options
    6. File - Save
    Acrobat Writer Pro Configuration
    1. When prompted choose Create a New Transform
    2. Select AcroPro.msi as the base .MSI file
    3. Give the .MST file a name
    4. Click Create (this may take a minute to process)
    NOTE: Do not click on the Organisation Product Properties field. If you do the installer will return a transform error when you try to deploy Acrobat. Instead enter these details in the Abcpy.ini file and via the command line. (See step 5)
    5. Amend the Abcpy.ini file as below:
    ISX_SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (where xxxx is your serial number)
    USERNAME=xxxxxxxxxx (where xxxx is the users name)
    Company name should be entered from the command line (See Installing Acrobat Writer section below)
    6. Features
    Configure which features are to be installed
    7. Preferences
    Configure your install options
    8. File - Save
