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.

  • Open File - Security Warning for network launch

    Another set of applications I am trying to bring over from ZfD 7. They are
    simple apps that just launch an executable from a UNC path
    (\\server\volume\folder\app.exe). The only action is a Launch Executable
    action with the network UNC path to the app. These worked fine with ZfD,
    but with ZCM I get a popup security warning box saying that the publisher
    could not be verified (Unknown Publisher) every time I launch the
    application. I can just click Run and it continues as it should. These
    applications are "Unknown" in the sense that I built them myself. Is there
    anyway to make this prompt go away and stop bothering me?
    Thanks.

  • Disable "Open File Security Warning"

    Hi whenever I try to open a file from the local hardrive I get the "Open File Security Warning" asking me whether I want to open the file or not. This is getting rather annoying. I searched online but everything I found seems to be dealing with network shares and I am not using that. Just a file on the local hard drive in the computer I am using to the right of me. I remember in my last install I turned it off somehow, but for the life of me I can't figure out how I did it. Anybody have any ideas? Or is this here to stay?

    Windows 7 - Launching unsafe files is in this path;
    IE -> Internet Options -> Security tab -> Custome Level -> Scroll down in Settings -> Look for radio button "Launching applications and unsafe files (not secure)".
    Don't know if it solves the problem or not but option is there.
    Great, on Windows 8 x64 this is an option I can find and set.
    It will generate a nasty warning in the system tray. And does not solve the problem:
    I have downloaded a warez archive and extracted it. The resulting .exe file is a wrapped program which will extract everything to my choosings. I've used it before. 
    When I try to run the program, all I get is: 
    Windows Security
    These files can't be opened
    Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened. 
    Show details | Close
    I do not use IE, I use chrome. What is this strange behaviour?? :(

  • Open File - Security Warning - minor annoyance

    Ever since I installed SQL Developer 1.5.5 I get an Open File - Security Warning. The publisher could not be verified.
    I can still run the software, but it is something I haven't seen with SQL Developer before and I have been running it since 1.2
    Anyone else have this issue or just me?

    I know this a very delayed answer to a 2009 question.  But I had a similar problem today and tried to search for a reply and landed in this page.  Later I figured out that the executable file was in blocked stage.  Files received from mail and internet downloads are blocked based on security settings and execution will be permitted after review and allow manually.  As a one time activity, the executable file can be unblocked (Right click - > Properties -> Click Unblock) after which this warning will not appear.

  • Open File - Security Warning box appears for several app on the desktop [solved]

    Hello,
    After googling around, I found why I get this warning, how it happens, how to manually fix it but I don't know how to prevent it.
    I got this warning when desktop integrity level drop to "low".
    Desktop integrity drop to "low" when launching IE (V9) with no network connection and the favorites folder has been redirected to a file server. If the favorites folder is not redirected, desktop integrity level remains the same.
    To fix it :
    icacls %\username%\desktop /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M
    But how can I prevent Windows (IE ?) from changing desktop integrity level ? I add the unc path of the file server hosting the favorites folders to the intranet zone to no avail.
    Thanks for your help.
    Chris

    Thanks for your reply.
    You never met this message, did you set folder redirection for your users ? Here you can find other people having this message
    http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=open+file+security+warning+desktop+integrity+level
    I don't think process monitor or explorer will help because I already know the culprit : IE. If you read my message again, I need to tell IE : if the favorites folder is not accessible, don't modify my local desktop folder integrity level.
    Regards
    Chris

  • Open File - Security Warning

    I have a mapped drive letter to a file server share where I keep many utility scripts (.cmd files).
    Whenever I right-click a .cmd file and choose Edit, I'm given an "Open File - Security Warning" dialog.
    How can I disable this prompt? I'd like everything on this server to be considered as safe as the things on my local drive.

    This solution worked for me! We have a drive mapped to H. I added just simply H and H:\ which redirected to the actual path and it was fine after that. No more security warning.

    Open the Control Panel

    Click the Security Tab
    Click on Local Intranet
    Click on Sties
    Click Advanced
    Type the drive letter of your file server where the application is located in the “Add this website to this zone” box. 
    Click Add
    Click Close

    You should no longer get the “Open File Security Warning” when you run an application from the file server.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

  • How do I get rid of the security warning for disc based Flash product

    I have a project that use a program called Articulate to turn
    powerpoint shows into a more rich flash product with audio, search
    capacities, quiz etc. There are multiple sections from multiple
    powerpoint files that generate a dozen or so flash files. The flash
    files reside in an html shell to allow for navigation. The whole
    thing is delivered on disc as a browser based training product.
    The problem is that viewing flash from a disc results in a
    security alert every time the viewer goes to a flash file. There is
    an Articulate theme blog that suggests using a product called
    server2go to make the disc function as a server to kinda fool
    browsers on the local machine into thinking the disc is a web
    server. My client wants the product to allow the users' default
    browser. So far, although server2go is supposed to allow this, it
    doesn't with the latest version of firefox (client's preferred
    browser). I can only get it to work on a select machine or 2 in my
    office with IE (server2go default) but it takes forever to launch.
    I haven't gotten it to work on any of the client's machines. The
    disc (auto launch) just freezes the machines.
    Can anyone recommend a better server emulation product, or
    tell me another solution to delivering a disc based flash product
    without getting the security warning and without making the viewer
    change settings on their machine to allow flash to play?
    I understand security issues but this makes flash virtually
    unusable for this application and I'm dead in the water if I can't
    fix it.

    Sorry, Ralph has already answered your question. If you need to get your security questions reset, you will have to contact iTunes Support:

  • Open file dialogue hangs with extension panels

    Hi. I have PS CS5 64 bit running on a PC, Win 7.
    Everything has been working fine but I have recently installed two new extension panels - Fundy Image Brander and Tych Panel. When either of these scripts require you to input a file to open via the Open File dialogue box, everything hangs for 2-3 minutes. The mouse and keyboard do not lock and you can open up other windows which work fine. The open file dialogue just hangs (not just on selecting an individual image but selecting a drive or folder). If you call up the Task Manager and End Photoshop as a task a dialogue box pops up with the mesage "The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you."
    Photoshop otherwise works well. It's just when the extension panel requires you to input a file to open. Has anyone else encountered this problem or has any ideas?

    Hi. Both are extension panels. Fundy Image Brander is a paid for extension (http://www.fundysoftware.com/image-brander/) and the other a free extension (http://lumens.se/tychpanel/).
    I have seven extension panels running and these are the only two that require the user to set file input locations.
    Photoshop otherwise works just fine and I have no problems opening files. Other Windows programs also run without any problems. It's just these two that hang when the select or open file dialogue appears.
    And no I haven't contacted the producers.

    Hi Nokia peoples,
    When is the patch anticipated for our C5's to fix the broken clock problems?
    If it just displayed the wrong time it would be one thing, but since it affects the ordering of text messages displayed et al, it's a bit more of a catastrophic issue.

  • What have "Too many open Files" to do with FIFOs?

    Hi folks.
    I've just finished a middleware service for my company, that receives files via a TCP/IP connection and stores them into some cache-directory. An external program gets called, consumes the files from the cache directory and puts a result-file there, which itself gets sent back to the client over TCP/IP.
    After that's done, the cache file (and everything leftover) gets deleted.
    The middleware-server is multithreaded and creates a new thread for each request connection.
    These threads are supposed to die when the request is done.
    All works fine, cache files get deleted, threads die when they should, the files get consumed by the external program as expected and so on.
    BUT (there's always a butt;) to migrate from an older solution, the old data gets fed into the new system, creating about 5 to 8 requests a second.
    After a time of about 20-30 minutes, the service drops out with "IOException: Too many open files" on the very line where the external program gets called.
    I sweeped through my code, seeking to close even the most unlikely stream, that gets opened (even the outputstreams of the external process ;) but the problem stays.
    Things I thought about:
    - It's the external program: unlikely since the lsof-command (shows the "list of open files" on Linux) says that the open files belong to java processes. Having a closer look at the list, I see a large amount of "FIFO" entries that gets bigger, plus an (almost) constant amount of "normal" open file handles.
    So perhaps the handles get opened (and not closed) somehwere else and the external program is just the drop that makes the cask flood over.
    - Must be a file handle that's not closed: I find only the "FIFO" entries to grow. Yet I don't really know what that means. I just think it's something different than a "normal" file handle, but maybe I'm wrong.
    - Must be a socket connection that's not closed: at least the client that sends requests to the middleware service closes the connection properly, and I am, well, quite sure that my code does it as well, but who knows? How can I be sure?
    That was a long description, most of which will be skipped by you. To boil it down to some questions:
    1.) What do the "FIFO" entries of the lsof-command under Linux really mean ?
    2.) How can I make damn sure that every socket, stream, filehandle etc. pp. is closed when the worker thread dies?
    Answers will be thanked a lot.
    Tom

    Thanks for the quick replies.
    @BIJ001:
    ls -l /proc/<PID>/fdGives the same information as lsof does, namely a slowly but steadily growing amount of pipes
    fuserDoesn't output anything at all
    Do you make exec calls? Are you really sure stdout and stderr are consumed/closed?Well, the external program is called by
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandLine);and the stdout and stderr are consumed by two classes that subclass Thread (named showOutput) that do nothing but prepending the corresponding outputs with "OUT:" and "ERR" and putting them into a log.
    Are they closed? I hope so: I call the showOutput's halt method, that should eventually close the handles.
    @sjasja:
    Sounds like a pipe.Thought so, too ;)
    Do you have the waitFor() in there?Mentioning the waitFor():
    my code looks more like:
    try  {
         p = Runtime.getRuntime.exec(...);
         outshow = new showOutput(p.getInputStream(), "OUT").start;
         errshow = new showOutput(p.getErrorStream(), "ERR").start;
         p.waitFor();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
         //can't wait for process?
         //better go to sleep some.
         log.info("Can't wait for process! Going to sleep 10sec.");
         try{ Thread.sleep(10000); } catch (InterruptedException ignoreMe) {}
    } finally {
         if (outShow!=null) outShow.halt();
         if (errShow!=null) errShow.halt();
    /**within the class showOutput:*/
    /**This method gets called by showOutput's halt:*/
    public void notifyOfHalt() {
         log.debug("Registered a notification to halt");
         try {
              myReader.close(); //is initialized to read from the given InputStream
         } catch (IOException ignoreMe) {}
    }Seems as if the both of you are quite sure that the pipes are actually created by the exec command and not closed afterwards.
    Would you deem it unlikely that most of the handles are opened somewhere else and the exec command is just the final one that crashes the prog?
    That's what I thought.
    Thanks for your time

  • "open file" Not working with Photoshop CS2

    System
    MAc Pro Dual Quad 3Ghz, OS X 10.5.2
    I have a script that I wrote a while ago to take a series of individual bitmaps and compile them into a strip for access inanothe application. Script used to work well....
    I tried to use the script today but ran into a brick wall when trying to open files from within the script.
    below is an example of a script that will not work at all,
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
    open file "AV:logo:rot0001.png"
    end tell
    I normally pass the function a variable for the filenames...but the above script should work fine.. but flatly refuses to !
    Below is the Error returned.
    Adobe Photoshop CS2 got an error: General Photoshop error occurred.
    - The object “current document” is not currently available.
    Arghhhh Help !!

    Chris

    Hello
    Perhaps your script used to work under pre-OSX10.5 (AppleScript 1.x) but now fails under OSX10.5 (AppleScript 2.x)?
    If so, the most likely cause is the drastic change in internal text handling between them. In AS2.x, internal text is Unicode only, which might prevent PSCS2 from resolving 'file path_string' descriptor (when path_string is assumed to be plain 'string', not Unicode text).
    Try the following code instead -
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
    open ("AV:logo:rot0001.png" as alias)
    end tell
    Or -
    set a to "AV:logo:rot0001.png" as alias
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
    open a
    end tell
    Hope this may help,

  • 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)?
