Offline installation

Hello!
I recently installed Arch Linux, noticing that it had good reviews about working well on my netbook (Lenovo s205), which other systems did not. I am stuck though, because I don't know how to configure the internet connection or how to install the GUI offline. I think it would be best to first install the GUI offline because my internet connection is from university and requires some registration from the browser. Could anyone please explain to me how to install the GUI without an internet connection? Yesterday was the first time I used Arch Linux and I'm quite new to Linux in general.
Thank you very much

Due to the way arch works (e.g. rolling release, only base on install iso), you are pretty much out of luck to install a desktop environment without working internet connection - you will have to do a sys update first anyway, and installing a DE will pull in a lot of packages.
You could manually download and install a text browser (e.g. lynx), but not sure if that would help. What exactly do you need the browser for to get online?
P.S:
Yesterday was the first time I used Arch Linux and I'm quite new to Linux in general.
If you want to stick with arch, be prepared to do a lot of reading and proactively research your questions. Documentation for arch is plentiful, and all basics are easily covered by using google.

Adobe Flash Player won't install into Firefox, even when using the offline installer, and downloading it through Firefox

Ever since the latest update of the Adobe Flash Player, I think it came out this week.
I can't seem to get it to work with Firefox, I have downloaded the installer, it installs successfully, then I check in Firefox to see if it works. It says that I need to install it?!?! I have tried the offline installer of the Adobe Flash Player, I also tried installing it through Firefox (when you click "Install missing plugins"). That just fails instantly.
I posted on the Adobe Forums, but no luck.
I am getting frustrated with this! I have never had problems with installing the Flash Player, and I didn't install this version any different from the previous versions. Flash Player was working well until the latest update of Flash Player was released.
If I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, it shows all the Flash Player files, but it's not showing up in the Firefox addon manager, and not working on YouTube, or any other Flash Player sections of sites.
I installed the 64-bit version, because I have a 64-bit Windows.
It works on IE, but not on Firefox.
It seems like it installs fine, but then it doesn't looks like it "installs" it into Firefox. Or whatever...
Also, I have tried uninstalling it with the Adobe 64-bit Uninstaller, restarting my PC after uninstalling, then install the 64-bit Flash Player for Firefox... doesn't work.
I have done EVERYTHING I can do to try and get it to work, no luck...
Please, any help with be appreciated!

Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11 for Windows or Macintosh?

Flash Builder 4.7 Premium offline installer

Hi,
Where can I find offline installer for Flash Builder 4.7 Premium. I have to backup all application installers in my company (regarding web development) and I can't find it anywhere on adobe.com. Is there any chance to get installer after downloading it via Adobe Creative Cloud app or is there direct link?
Medyk

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your reply. we purchased the upgrade license directly from Adobe web site and I can only see the order of the upgrade license from https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html.
The original Flash builder 4.0 Premium was purchased through a reseller our company normally use back in 2010. The Software license certificate shows TLP 5.0 LICENSE PROGRAM - CORPORATE. We do have either 4 or 6 seat license. We only have 1 developer left for this project so only 1 upgrade license was purchased.
Does our Flash builder 4.0 premium license qualify for the upgrade offer? If not how do we upgrade?

How to Perform a "Clean Install" - Offline installer link not working...

The thread containing - "How to Perform a Clean Install of Flash Player in Mac OS X" - was an answer given by Mike M. several times in this forum. I attempted to access the "offline installer" link that was offered, but it does not seem to be working. Does anyone have an updated link to a functional offline installer that I can use to finally download Flash Player for Mac OS X v. 10.9.5?
I receive an error message stating "Error: Unable to proceed with the installation."
Many of the photography and game websites I use (almost all, actually) FP, and I would really love to get back to my daily routine soon!
Best Regards,
Mel R.

Hi Mel,
The correct link is posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page, in the 'Still having problems section'. The download links recently changed and it appears the FAQ was not updated. I have updated the with the help page URL as it's less likely that this link will change, and if it does, a re-direct to the new location would be implemented.

[SOLVED] Offline Installation Help

I'm new to Arch. It's just 2 days since I've downloaded the iso. I installed it and it worked really nice. However, I messed up the system trying out some experiments.
Now I want to reinstall it. I have my /var/cache/pacman/pkg folder backed up. Is there a way I can skip the humongous download and install these? My ISP gives me really low bandwidth speeds. Thanks in advance.

Offline installation of Adobe Reader & Flash

We just spent the weekend at work running Windows update, office update and updating Java, Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader on all machines.
In the interest of not going insane and doing it again ever, I would like to create an auto update script for everything.
I am working on WSUS for the windows and office updates and have Java sorted, but I cant find any info on doing offline installs for Reader and Flash?
Can anyone tell me:
1) Where can I download an offline installation of both Flash & Reader
2) Where I can find info for command line installation/uninstallation.
thanks
DJMc

Thank you for reply Pat.
I did see v.10 of Acrobat in Greek but I really need v. 11 to be consistent. I also checked the MUI version of v.11 and it does not have Greek either.

Staff: Why is there no offline installer for 10.1.5? The patch doesn't work for me.

Hi, I'm trying to update Adobe Reader 10.1.4 on a 32-bit Windows XP SP3 computer to Adobe Reader 10.1.5. The Adobe Reader Updater downloaded the update but it tells me:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
It's looking for AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\ARM\Reader_10.0.1\ but it can't find it.
Normally in a situation like this I could just download the offline installer, and as an enterprise user I want to do that anyway. Yet it appears there's no offline installers in ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.5/ like for example AdbeRdr1015_en_US.exe or AdbeRdr1015_en_US.msi. On Adobe's pages for both enterprise and home users it only offers 10.1.4 as the older version prior to 11, not 10.1.5 as one would expect.
What's going on with this? Am I the only one who's noticed either of these things? I suppose on that one computer I'll have to download AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi and place it in that directory where the patch is looking for it.
Thanks for any help

Howdy,
I'm not sure what you mean by an offline installer, but the available updates, the admin guide, and the release notes are all correct. 10.1.5 is an update (MSP). It is not a full installer. As stated in the doc, full installers are not always provided. Also, full installers or updates don't have any online dependency.
You can install 10.1.5 over that last relevant msi/exe. That's 10.1.4 for some languages but usually 10.1.
Alternatively, you can get a non-enterprise installer from the Reader Download Center. You can probably expand the exe to get to an MSI. That's an atypical route most enterprise admins have not found a need to travel.
10.1.6 will also only be an MSP update.

Where can I get a full offline installer for App-v 4.6 Client with sp3 integrated?

Hi there
I’m looking for a link to download the app-v client installation files, with the latest service pack integrated.
We currently have to deploy 4.6Sp1, then apply updates to the client to get it to 4.6 sp3.
Is there an offline installer available with the SP3 binaries already slipstreamed in?
Cheers
Max

No.
If you have access to the Microsoft VL site, you'll find the latest App-V binaries in the MDOP ISO. What ever is there is what's available.

Offline installer for Adobe Reader

I'm trying to download offline installer of latest Adobe Reader for bulk installations on PCs in my company. It used to be simple and last version I got was 11.02.
Latest version forces me to register for distribution of Adobe software. Fair enough, I requested access to the Reader, got one email to confirm my details, then another one which should contain link to the .exe installer. Sadly the URL in "To download the English language version of Adobe Reader 9 with Acrobat.com in compressed .exe format, click here." redirects to this address:
http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/enterprise/
which is the generic page asking me to apply to distribute Reader, which I just did.. "Adobe Reader 9" suggest that those automatic emails are quite outdated now, can anyone help?

Adobe Reader Offline Installer for 11.0.05?

Hi,
I've been trying to obtain the offline installer for the latest update. However, the website is only listing 11.0.04. Is there a way to get 11.0.05?
I've cleared the cache and used different browsers so I don't think it is a local cache issue.
Thanks,
Doug

11.0.4 IS the latest.
11.0.5 hasn't been released yet.

Offline installation of Photoshop elements 12

How do I do a offline installation of Photoshop elements 12 without internetconnection as an administrator. And users are not asked to sign in or see the trial dialog box. I have paid for the program

For windows, you need to be connected both while running the installer for serial number validation, and then the first time the program is launched, to create the madatory adobe ID. For a mac, both processes happen during installation.
Afte that you don't need a connection, but the content of the graphics panel will not be available to you. Those items must be downloaded for first use. After that they're on the computer and an internet connection isn't needed for anything but the sharing features.
