Network install of Adobe Digital Editions

I work for the public school system. We are being requested to deploy Adobe Digital Editions for reading digitial books. Last time I looked at ADE, about 2 versions ago, it was not possible to deploy this over the network easily.
Now I am being re tasked with this. Is it possible to deploy this software over the network, with a silent install? It must be hands free. I have up to 30,000 computers and i'm sure half of them will need it at minimum. I see nothing related to ADE 4.0 and deploying it so please help me out and let me know what the deal is.
thanks,
Noah

Hi,
It would be great, if you provide us with the environment where you are trying the install the ADE.
For Example,
- ADE version
- Operating System
- Anti-Virus you are using.
- did you logged in as Admin or user on your computer.
(*any error message you are able to locate/view from Event Viewer- If using Windows OS)

Try to install a adobe digital edition for my kobo touch. i have no administrative password -using library computer. what can i do?

from Marcia.
I have a kobo touch ereader. Try to install adobe digital editions. i only access to a library computer window 7. Try to download ADE 3. 0. Installater.exe. No administrative password.
Can you help me. My kobo touch software is 1.9.17. (r37581 3/16/12) model no. N905B27210158.

Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message. If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

Can't install my adobe digital edition!

At first, i installed my digital edition. i could only access my ebook(book that i purchased ) when i went online. Something was wrong. so i decided to uninstall it and then reinstall it again. During the setup, i kept facing this problem.
'You may not have the necessary permission to use all the features of the program you are about to run.You may run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as the current user.'
Then i have to give the username and password. i used my account id and password but was denied access all the time. i kept getting this note: 'This installer requires administration access, pls try again.'
What should i do? i'm really frustrated. Could you provide me with the username and password so that i can access my account? i don't think i can call up the support center as overseas call is expensive. is there any other way i can use my account?

The computer is telling you that you don't have the ADMIN rights that are
needed to install the software. I'm going to guess that you're using
Windows 7 software. In that case, your user rights may be set by Win7 as a
'user', not as 'administrator'. You need to go back and log into the
computer as the ADMIN.
About that access to your ebook only when you were online. That can occur
when ADE has not been installed properly (see above).
The sequence of installation makes all the difference. The first step is to
go to the Adobe website and establish an Adobe account with an Adobe ID and
password that you choose. When you've done that, you can install ADE on
your computer ( assuming we get around this administrative access issue ).
When that is complete, you can go to the website where you bought your ebook
and download it to ADE on your computer. Then you can read it from the ADE
library.
There are some technical considerations. If you have installed ADE on your
computer without having established an Adobe ID (which you can do - but
shouldn't), then you might not be able to reinstall it and still be able to
access the ebook you bought. This is because the publisher and distributor
could have set the ebook's digital rights to permit ONE download only.
Also, when you download the ebook - or when you did - you have choices as to
whether to OPEN or SAVE it. If you elect 'OPEN', then ADE will open the
ebook in Reading mode. It will not save the ebook in the library, so when
you open ADE in Library mode, the ebook won't be visible - although it's
still on your computer. If you can find the title in the folder inside
Digital Editions, then you can add the ebook to the library, using the Add
Book to Library function within ADE.
Much of what I'm saying here is pretty general, and there are certain tasks
that you perform to accomplish these steps. I don't know your level of
expertise with the computer, so I don't want to burden you with all of the
tasks at this time. Repost with more information, and we can go to that
level if we need to.
Hope this helps!

Error in trying to install Adobe digital edition

I am receiving an error message every time I try to install the adobe digital edition in my PC

Inability to activate installed Adobe Digital Editions software

I am able to download and successfully install the Adobe Digital Editions software on my HP Pavillion desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium but I cannot activate the program after installation.
Before the first time the program is launched, to gain access, you must enter your Adobe ID and Password but I am never asked for this information at the end of the installation process.
I have installed, uninstalled and re-installed the program several times but the end result is always the same. When I open the program all I get is a black, inoperative screen.
Thank you for any suggestions as to why this is happening.

I'm not sure what process you've followed to install ADE. I'm guessing, so
let me go over the process from the start. No offense - I don't have
enough information about what you've done to be specific.
First, you should be going to the Adobe website and registering as a user.
When you do that, your ADE download will contain your Adobe User ID and
your Adobe password. At that point, ADE is 'ready for action'. I would
uninstall ADE, empty the Recycle Bin, then register with Adobe and try the
download again.
Next, Win 7 seems to have some kinks in it that have caused some ADE users
to swear, curse and generally get nasty at the software. Security settings
have to be set to allow ADE to interact with ebook websites. But there are
some hidden settings that you don't see that have caused problems. Also,
some users have mentioned that you may need to use 'compatibiltiy mode' for
the software.
Hope this helps!

Hello Sjpt
In windows xp serivce pack-2, ADE 2.0 is working perfectly for few days only, but after few days ADE 2.0 is not opening. I dont know why it is not opening? Can anyone tell me reason behind this?
If RUN>>MSCONFIG>GENERAL>DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP - LOAD BASIC DEVICES AND SERVICE ONLY > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is opening.
If RUN>> MSCONFIG>GENERAL>NORMAL STARTUP - LOAD ALL DEVICE DRIVERS AND SERVICES > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is NOT opening. As you people are well aware that we cannot use the diagnostic startup since it will allow basic service and devices only.
I have tried the following methods to overcome this issue (from internet)
1. Uninstall Adobe Digital Editions using one of these two methods:
Start > Programs > Adobe > Adobe Digital Editions > Uninstall
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs
2. Initiate Uninstall
3. In order to remove all remnants of Adobe Digital Editions / Adobe Adept from the machine a "Registry Edit" will need to be performed:
Start > Run > Regedit
4. Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Adept and Delete the full "Adept" folder
5. Remove only the structures that are under the "SOFTWARE" extensions. This will remove the Adobe ID / License and Activation Keys
6. Clear any outstanding tasks that may be associated to Adobe Digital Editions downloads
C:\data\my digital editions
C:\my documents\my digital editions
7. Delete any documents within these folders:
Restore > Tasks
Restore > Failed
8. Re-install Adobe Digital Editions
9. I have updated Windows xp from SP2 to SP3
The above methods didn't helped me to solve this issue. Then, i have used DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP and safe mode, it was opened, but not in normal user mode.
Thanks,

Trouble with Adobe Digital Editions for Mac - please Help

I just got a Kobo Glo and am trying to download/install the Adobe Digital Editions software on my Mac but I am running into issues: (I not very versed in computers so I hope someone can walk me through my issues slowly)
I tried to download the Adobe Digital Editions software and got a screen saying installation was complete, I appear to have Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 and Adobe Digital Editions icons in my applications folder, when I go to open the Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 Icon I am taken to a "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it.
I do not know how to open the Adobe Digital Editions actual software so I can access the "set up assistant" to authorize my computer??????????????? It does not seem to want to open on it's own and I have no idea how to find it. I do have an Adobe ID.
I thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide. Once again I am not very computer literate so please be very specific.

When you have ADE (digital editions) open with "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it,
enter cmd-shift-U, or menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
That will ask for your Adobe ID and password and authorize the computer.
Once that has been done you shouldn't need to do it again.
Sometimes you do need to if things go wrong, but you certainly shouldn't have to do it at all regularly.
When that has been done, plug in the Kobo; it should show up in the left pane of ADE.
Use "menu/Help/Authorize Device" and that will authorize your Kobo with the Adobe ID from the Mac.
You can then copy books by drag-dropping onto the Kobo within ADE

Unable to install ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 on Windows 7

Hi
My current installation of Windows 7 contains Framework NET 4.0 Full.
It is up-tp-date with this.
I'm unable to install ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 on this system, because
of the prerequisite required to install this packege.
ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1. requires NET 3.5 on Windows 7 (and this is old/outdated today).
When will ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 install on Windows 7 with NET 4?
Any other ideas to get this up and running?
Thanx

You can install the different versions of .NET at the same time, and that is what you need to do for quite a few programs.
Microsoft don't make them upward compatible.
You could install the older v1.7.2 instead, much more relaible and I don't think (not sure) it as .NET requirement.
~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.
