Im using MAC OSX Snow Leopard.
Thanks

Joao Pereira

Hi Joao,
Here's what our Troubleshoot AIR Install tech doc has to say:
On Mac OS, run the following in the Terminal:
To install: "/Adobe AIR Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe AIR Installer" -silent
To uninstall: "/Adobe AIR Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe AIR Installer -uninstall"

Command-line installation issue : InstallMediaPath parameter?

Hello,
I have an unsuccessful command-line installation of SQL Express 2008 R2. I need to do it to install a new local instance so that a Winforms application could use it (I'm packaging the app thus installing pre-requisites through my installer).
I hit "InstallMediaPath" blank parameter issue, if I look into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Detail.txt".
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
2014-09-08 09:40:17 Slp: Parameter name: InstallMediaPath
I read on the forums that this error can solve by uncompressing before running setup, so here are my two commands. I still have the issue.
"Resources\SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe" /Q /X:"%TEMP%\SESetup"
"%TEMP%\SESetup\Setup.exe" /ACTION=Install /QS /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms=True /Features=SQL,Tools /InstanceName=MSSQLSAFETIFY /SQLSVCACCOUNT=\"NT AUTHORITY\\NETWORK SERVICE" /AddCurrentUserAsSQLAdmin /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD="somePassword"
Earlier in log file I see a correct value for InstallMediaPath so am clueless.
2014-09-08 10:00:51 Slp: Setting: SQLSVCACCOUNT

Thank you so much for helping. Do I have some incorrect parameters?

I finally found a solution, using a Configuration.ini file. Blog entry dealing with MS SQL unattended setup
I suceeded with a configuration file, adding though two parameters to file, IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms="True" and SAPWD="passwordOfMyChoice".
With command line only, I had "path2" parameter null value error, once I added /InstallMediaPath undocumented (?) option to my initial command line switches...

Command line installation - exit code 32 error

We are installing Adobe Acrobat 7.0 via command line installation in our network. When the installation is completed the clients reboot and our software-delivery-server quits with an error ("Exit code 32 indicates possible error"). To install the Adobe Updates we have to renew the complete installation.
I think the installation routine does not send an "installation complete" message to the server, but that is just an idea. The exit code 32 error means nothing to me. Does anyone have an idea what I can do ?
We are using a W2003 server, CA Unicenter Software Delivery Software and WinXP/SP2 as clients.

Command line installation options for Ironport Email Security Plug-in

We're getting ready to implement email encryption with our C160. I want to deploy the Outlook plug-in to my users using SCCM. According to the administrator guide I should be able to do this however I have downloaded the current version of the plug-in and it doesn't seem to support the command line options described in the administrator guide. Specifically the /f1 switch (page 3-17 of admin guide) used to pass the setup.iss file doesn't work. This command is then referenced to be used for the distribution package in SCCM. I'm trying to use CiscoEmailSecurity-7-1-1-002.exe.
Am I missing something? Or has something changed in the deployment method? Thanks for your help.

Hi Scott,
Can you include the exact syntax your using?
it should look like this,
Start /w CiscoEmailSecurity_7-1-1-002.exe /s /v /qn /f1"J:\install_711002.iss

Command line installation for plugins

The documented way to install Apex 4.0 plugins is to use the Builder GUI.
Is there a way to install a plugin by running a SQL file similar to how a full application export produces a SQL file that can be used to install the application into another database?
Thanks

APEX 4.0.1 caught the vast majority of issues identified in 4.0. APEX 4.0.2 is there for any small things which didn't make it into 4.0.1 but which we don't want to defer until our next major functional release of APEX 4.1.
I expect some customers to raise some important issues to us at Oracle OpenWorld in September. Thus, I'm not planning on releasing APEX 4.0.2 until later in 2010 - maybe not even until after DOAG and UKOUG (which are in November) when we'll get more customer issues reported. Whereas I wanted to get APEX 4.0.1 out the door ASAP due to the large number of quality issues, there isn't anything compelling (at least today) that warrants moving up the date of APEX 4.0.2.
I believe APEX 4.0.1 is stable enough to upgrade.
Joel
P.S. By the way, will we be seeing you at Oracle OpenWorld?

thanks in advance.

Hi SQLDBA321,
The SSDT-BI is automatically installed under xxx:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\. Now matter in GUI or command line, we can't change the path. Because SSDT is a feature of SQL Server, not a feature of Visual Studio. It just use the Visual
Studio Shell. So SSDT will only be installed with SQL Server.

How do I open a PDF to a specific page via the command line?

Several questions about opening PDFs from the Mac OS X command line:
1) How do I use the "open" command to open a PDF to a specific page? (I know I can open a document via: open doc_name.pdf)
2) How do I use the "open" command to pass multiple arguments (page no, zoom scale, view mode, etc...) to open a PDF file in a specific manner?
3) Does Preview handle the same parameters as Acrobat Reader? If not, what are the differences in options?
I've spent hours searching for this answer and have come up dry. I've downloaded Adobe's "PDF Open Parameters" document -- it lists all of the parameters I need, however I can't get any of them to work from the command line.
My goal: Open a PDF from the command line to a specific page. At first glance, I thought this would be simple to do and find -- however, after a lot of searching I haven't found an example on how to do it.
Anyone have any experience doing this, and care to share?
Much appreciated! ---> Kelsey

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

Various problems using extension manager with command line

Hello all,
We are installing our plugins to CS4/5/5.1 version of Adobe Photoshop as part of our installer and allow the users to select specific versions of Photoshop to install the panel for. There are a few old problems that I wanted to rant about for quite some while and now with a whole bunch of problems that the 5.1 update introduced I feel I just have to voice them. I will limit it to PC only as it seems to be the most troubled platform
#1 As we cannot install our plugin only by using the Extension Manager (simply because it cannot handle all we've to do upon the installation) we have to run commands from within the our installer, non-interactively, of course.
The interface to command line installation is xmancommand.exe (or "Extension manager (Version). exe" - not sure whether it makes any difference. ). Now the first question is how to find this executable on the target machine, from an installer. Users may specify different locations to install the Creative Suite and it certainly does NOT have to be C:\Program Files\...(or %PRGRAMFILES% in general). ATM we are using an odd place in the registry to to find the path to the most recent Extension Manager but first its sometimes overwritten by another installation and in any case it only shows ONE version of the extension manager which of course cannot handle other versions (see #2)
#2 Why the most recent version of Adobe Extension Manager (5.5) cannot install the extension for 5.0? Well, install it actually does, however its disabled for CS5 and it seems that the only way to enable it on this platform is to find previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it. Oh, actually no - it doesn't work! The only way that I found here working is to find CS5 extension manager first, install the extension there and then use CS5.5 extension manager to enable it. Why do I need both utilities to manage my extensions?!
#3 The program is severely lacking in documentation AND it doesn't produce reasonable output messages, so determining what it can actually support is a puzzle. For example, why "Dreamweaver CS5" is a correct product name and "Photoshop CS5" is not (don't different teams talk to each other)? Ok, lets forget the consistency, but how do I make the utility output the list of all products it supports, in their magic token form that it will actually be understood if passed in in the command line? By trial and error? This menthod btw is also extremely painful: nany times when specifying wrong parameters the program doesn't provide any output and just shrugs "whatever, go figure it yourself"...
#4 Why the only way to enable/disable an extension in Photoshop seems to be using magic "productfamily" keyword that is not even listed on Adobe's help page for command line options (here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/WSB4845EDD-14E5-476a-B749-FF328830D1 4F.html).? E.g. "xmancommand.exe" -suppress -remove product=Photoshop extension=OurExtension" will ALWAYS fail with a lovely "'Photoshop is not supported by Extension Manager CS5.5." error; I've tried "PhotoshopCS5", "Photoshop CS5", "PhotoshopCS5.1" "Photoshop CS5.1", "Photoshop-12" (mentioned in examples section in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/packaging_extension.pdf ) and a whole bunch of other permutations - none seem to work (see #3). Magic "productfamily=Photoshop" does work. But then it only aims the current version ("CS5.1") and I need it to work for CS5 (I'm not even mentioning CS4...."). Would there be any suggestions?
Really, the question is, how do we, third-party developers, are supposed to interact with the command-line utility without knowing where it is, what product names is capable to work with and without being able to target specific platforms (i86 vs x64 anyone (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/672537)? CS5 vs CS5.1 (above)?). I don't know what your test cases are for the command line tool (if any!), but this is simply insane, folks, simply insane.

I am sorry for the poor documentation of Extension Manager which causes you so much trouble.
1. You can use BridgeTalk API to ask specific version of Extension Manager to do something. There is sample in packaging_extension.pdf about this. You don't need to know the installation path of Extension Manager. One thing to note is that the value of bt.target is version specific, i.e. "exman-5.0", "exman-5.5" send this message to different version of Extension Manager, so you can change this value to install/enable/disable/remove extensions using different version of Extension Manager. More detailed documentation of BridgeTalk can be found by clicking "Help" menu then clicking "Javascript Tools Guide CS5" in "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5".
2. Specific version of Extension Manager only manage extensions for corresponding version of product. You should use Extension Manager CS5 to install extensions for Photoshop CS5. The reason that the extension you installed for Photoshop CS5.1 using Extension Manager CS5.5 is displayed for Photoshop CS5 in Extension Manager CS5 is that two versions of Photoshop specified the same directory for Extension Manager to manage extensions. This is a defect and will cause some problems if multiple versions of Photoshop co-existed in one machine. But "to find previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it" should work for you, I guess you use command line to enable it and specify wrong product name (see #3) so that it doesn't work.
3. When using command line, you should specify "product" attribute with the name displayed at the left panel of Extension Manager. So "Photoshop CS5 32" is correct. Remember to enclose it with double quote because of existence of space character.
4. As above mentioned, use display name of Photoshop, and call proper version of Extension Manager by BridgeTalk.

Hi Bruce,
Out from what I can find on this network card is it not possible to get the mac address without a OS. I would recommend you to get/burn a Linux/Ubuntu live CD/DVD and run a Ifconfig in there.

How to reset the network IP address from terminal/command line in Mac OSX?

Do anyone knows how to set the network IP address from terminal/command line in Mac OS X?

how about a GUI, ever heard of a GUI? it's this really neat thing, where you don't have to worry about remembering long strings of text to do something. Mac OS X actually has a rather decent one (that was sarcasm by the way, Mac is the best) you could have it done in like 30 sec, if you use the network pane of system preferences.

How to add command line arguments to shortcuts in the LV8.5.1 installer

I want to create multiple shortcuts to my LV program, each with different command line arguments.
I can do this manually.
I want the installer to generate these shortcuts.
I can add different shortcuts in de installer build specification, but I cannot add commandline arguments in the shortcuts.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Rindert

Hello Forum,
Does anyone have any better data for this? I would also like to create an installer using Labview Project Explorer tool (Build Specification->Installer), and I have a need to create some shortcuts to some EXE's (VS.NET built, not LV) which need to have some arguments passed. I just verified that LV8.6 still does not seem to offer the option of passing arguments when creating shortcuts. Is this correct? Creating stub EXE's or batch files isn't a good option for my project, so I'd like to have someone confirm if LV installer tool can't create shortcuts w/ arguments before I fire up InstallShield.
Regards!
