Repackaging Safari 5.1.7 with silent install and custom settings

Hi everyone,
I'm searching for a solution to create a custom installation for Safari 5.1.7.
I accomplished the same task for other browsers using the MSI extraction from the .EXE installer and using different methods to set custom settings like: EULA accepted, default home page, etc during the installation process.
My question here is if Apple supports or allows to do a redistribution of its application for large Windows Enterprise environments with this kind of custom settings using either Flexera Install Shield or any other to modify the MSI installer and accomplish this task without the need of using external .JS, .XML files like other browser silent installations supports for redistribution / repackaging.
I isolated the Safari MSI file to prevent the installation of the other software that comes with the main .EXE: AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, Bonjour and Bonjour64.msi, SetupAdmin.exe  but I can't modify the default home page or prevent the prompt to set the default browser from inside the MSI to have it done.
This custom settings should be done in a more elegant way than using Regedit to search for the changes after the Setup finishes.
If you have any answer for this please let me know.
Kind regards.

Well I guess I have to reply to myself. No one seems to know this one.
I found that : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2316559?threadID=2316559   is Not working for Safari 5.1.7 on Windows 7 x64 even if you tried to open the pslist file from : ...\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\com.apple.Safari.plist the file seems that will be set as per user and even if you modify it it will not work.
No support has been found to have a GPO neither Flexera Admin Sudio Repackager or Tunner has succeeded to repackage or Build a successful MSI using Isolate or Installation Monitoring process due to some errors during the installation pointing to folder : C:\Windows\winsxs
So, basically I just need to confirm with any Apple guru if this is Possible or Not to do that or what could be the solution to get a normal SCCM 2012 package for Safari 5.1.7  with custom settings: Home Page, Disable ask for Default Browser, Disable Ask for Updates.
By the way I have the switches that works fine for Silent install and it works fine:
msiexec /i Safari.msi /qn SCHEDULE_ASUW=0 DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=1 installdir="%programfiles(x86)%\Safari" allusers=true reboot=suppress
I will really appreciate if some one replies asap   !!!! 
Thanks and Kind regards.

    Hi,
    Just Pro 7.0.0 (I'll integrate the patches to 7.0.9 later)
    I'm not keen on an Admin install, as this poses problems when patching (i.e. you have to do a "reinstall=All"). I prefer to integrate released patches into the silent install package, and for subsequent patches, just package them for silent install and push them down to the client.
    Reader 8.0 is on the machine only.

  • Firefox 27.1 silent install and configuration(homepage, proxys and bookmark)

    Hello,
    I am trying to perform a silent install and configuration for Firefox 27.1 but I am not able to get the same results I got with versions 26 and below. For these previous versions I used the method described in this link:
    http://www.mockbox.net/configmgr-sccm/174-install-and-configure-firefox-silently
    But for Firefox 27 creating the Mozilla.cfg and the other files doesn't seem to work. Could you please tell me how to silently configure the proxys and homepage on Firefox 27.1 during the install. I also need to add a bookmark during the installation. Could you please tell me how to do that as well? I found some methods saying I had to edit a bookmark.html file but I don't think this file is present on firefox 26 on.
    thank you in advance.
    regards.

    thank you for your reply guigs2, unfortunately none of those links were helpful for me. As I mentioned in my question I already tried the silent install method using the Mozilla.cfg file. It worked for the previous versions but it doesn’t work for version 27 anymore. As for the INI file, that doesn’t help me either since I need to configure the homepage, proxies and bookmarks all during the installation, for the INI all I’ve seen is that you can configure INSTALLDIR, shortcuts etc. Configuring proxies, homepage and bookmarks through group policies as one of the solutions said is not an option for me, I need to do that during the silent install of Firefox 27.

  • Need Help Automating (Silent Install) and Serializing PSE 12. Installation (Volumn License)

    I am trying to automate and serialize a silent installation for PSE 12. I have a volume license for 50 users. The old Silent Install command (PSE 11) no longer works for a silent install (PSE 12). I need this routine to suppress the EULA and any other user interaction required. Additionally I need the installation to NOT require end users to Login using an Adobe Digital ID.
    I've attempted to try the "Solution" found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5945374 . So far I've been unsuccessful. Here are the steps I've taken thus far.
    Copied install files to a network drive.
    Installed PSE 12 on a local Computer and using the Volumn Serial Number and Registered the program.

    That seems at variance with the example code in the links I posted:
    Have you gone to chat via the Volume Licensing support page - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/avl-help.html. There is reference on that page to the Enterprise Deployment Forum (it seems more geared to Cloud subscriptions, but there are people posting Elements questions).

  • Silent Install and Configuration Files

    I am trying to do a silent install and am scripting with AutoIT. Before
    the reboot I am copying down configuration.cfg and configuration.ini that
    I have created previously. But when the machine restarts it seems to
    ignore these and use a default configuration. Does anyone know what files
    I need to copy and in what situation in order to get NCF to use a prepared
    configuration.
    Many Thanks
    Andrew

    the following list of files is what i backup when i run an update or
    reinstall the client or whatever...
    config.ini
    configuration.cfg
    favorites.ini
    modules.ini
    ncf.ini
    op_data.ini
    op_data.mdb
    op_log.ini

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • Shooting with both 1080 and 720 settings on location?

    Hello,
    I'm new to video world. 7D has been my camera for photography and now I'm interested in using it to do some video as well. I've been reading and searching a lot online lately and was wondering if below is the best way to approach an on-location shoot:
    1. Shoot with 'mainly 1920x1080 (24fps)' setting and 'switch to 1280x720 (60fps) setting' for the part which I know I will use the footage for 'slow motion'
    2. After finish shooting, bring all footages to CS5 premiere and use '1920x1080 (24fps)' sequence/timeline to process footages shot with both 1080 and 720 settings.
    3. Use the 'Interpret Footage' function to slow down the footage shot with 1280x720 setting and make it 24fps
    Would this strategy work well or should I do the entire shoot with just '1280x720 (60fps)' setting and still use the '1920x1080 (24fps)' timeline in CS5?
    Thank you for any help that you could provide as I'm eager to learn!

    I think your question involves a couple of misconceptions:
    assuming you're referring to Canon 7D, OnLocation does not support that camera to the best of my knowledge. For live monitoring and recording, OL works only with devices that output via Firewire (IEEE 1394), which I don't believe is true of the 7D.
    while PPRO's Interpret Footage feature can serves the purpose of making a clip play in slow motion, that's not it's intent. Moreover, Premiere has better ways of achieving the goal, namely the Time Remapping feature and the Rate Stretch tool. Rather than attempting to explain those features here, I'll simply urge you to read the page in the help titled "Change speed and duration for one or more clips" (Home / Using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 / Effects and transitions / Duration and speed)
    As to your most basic question of what resolution and framerate to shoot, I'm not the best person to answer that, and the OnLocation forum is probably not the best place to get an answer. I'd suggest either the Premiere Pro forum here on Adobe.com or a more general forum such as dvinfo.net, creativecow.net, or dvxuser.com.

  • Problems with silent install of an AS10.1.2.0.2 infrastructure

    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?

  • Sequencing with silent install

    When sequencing one could run through the GUI's of a setup. After that some adjustments are likely needed like deleting the uninstall/desktop shortcut and so on.
    The other possibility is to use a silent setup as input for the sequencer. A lot off applications come with a vendor .MSI nowadays. This gives the opportunity to create a transform file which in many occasions can prevent the creation of uninstall/desktop shortcuts
    and other customization's as needed.
    Now, I'm writing guidelines on how external parties should deliver app-v packages to us. I stated that, if possible, they should deliver the command line of the silent setup used as input for the sequencer. However, they see this as the creation of two packages,
    MSI/silent setup and App-V.
    I wanted to check how other people work. Do they first create a silent setup and use that as input or do they launch the setup GUI and repeat what is documented in the manual installation document.
    In my opinion the advantage of using a silent setup as input is that you can easily replicate a local install in case there is a problem with the appv package. It also customizes the setup during install so adjustments afterwards are not needed, resulting in
    a somewhat cleaner package. The 3th advantage I see is that often you can reuse the .mst/command line when a new version is needed.
    What are your thoughts on requesting a silent install from the sequencers?

    What are your thoughts on requesting a silent install from the sequencers?
    This is a perfect case of there is no wrong way to do it, but what you said above is very true.  In fact, packaging software like Flexera Admin Studio encourage you to do it this way.  They don't want you to think of a package as a single deployment
    type, but rather however you want to deploy the software (MSI, App-V, etc).
    The investment in time is likely the biggest hurdle.  When you have to do something simple, creating an MSI/silent command first and then creating an App-V package is 2x the work.  Its not a bad standard to go with though.  And as Tibervis
    said, it does come in handy if you need to perform an upgrade or otherwise need to start sequencing from scratch again.  It is in my opinion 2 packages, just as it would be 2 packages to create an App-V 4 and App-V 5 package even if you used powershell
    to convert the 4x package to 5.  This gets very into your process though. 
    Just watch out you aren't making you own life 10x harder to protect yourself from something that only might happen a small percentage of the time.  Keep in mind that there are also going to be deployments where the App-V package requires work the MSI
    doesn't - a driver, a component that needs to be outside the bubble, etc.  Having an MSI won't help you create the App-V in that case, and if you ask packagers to create an MSI, an App-V, and an App-V instruction guide (for packagers eyes only) you might
    be shot on sight.

  • Problem with silent install of 11gR1 on Windows 2008

    I'm doing a silent install of 11gR1 on Windows Server 2008. It works fine on Windows Server 2003. I have SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK set to false, yet it seems to be forcing it to true and then it fails the install because I have an invalid metalink username/password. In the install log I get this, as expected:
    INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'false'. Received the value from response file.
    but then I get this later on:
    INFO: Setting the value of SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK to true
    INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'true'. Received the value from a code block.
    SEVERE: Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
    INFO: User Selected: Yes/OK
    Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
    Why is it forcing this to true? As I said, this same exact response file works fine with Server 2003. Any suggestions?
    Oh, also, I've tried forcing the value to false on the command line and by not specifiying a value (because the default is supposedly false).
    Thanks in advance

  • Help with Silent Install

    Hi
    I'm trying to perform a silent install of XE in winXP sp2 and get the same result each time, the installs starts up shows an icon on the taskbar and then exits with resultcode=-3.
    I've been through the forums and tried everything possible so far without success.
    The normal install works fine and I was able to create a response file which I then attempted to use for the silent install, I also tried the response file on the Oracle site with the same result. Is there anyway to determine at which dialog the installer is failing or is there anything else I can try?
    Thanks
    Govind

    What userid are you using to perform the install?
    Because of the way my company manages security on our laptops, I had to create a "local" account on the laptop. Then add that "local" account as part of the Administrators of the laptop. My typical "network" based account would not complete the install EVEN THOUGH THAT "network" account was part of the Administrators group on the laptop.
    There is also a feature called RunAs on Windows that allows you to run a scheduled install like the silent one using a different userid from the one you are logged in as.

  • How to silently install and set default settings

    I need to deploy FireFox 16.0.2 to a bunch of Windows computers and set some default settings. Is there a good article that can walk me through it?
    I also need to set the home page, have it not check for the default browser, and disable updates. The -ms option does silently install FireFox so I guess I just need to know how to configure FireFox for our environment and push out those settings with the install.
    I have versions ranging from 1 to 15. Do those old versions need to be removed first or can 16.0.2 be installed over what is already there? Is there an uninstall switch for this so that I can create a package to remove it?

    hello jmoody76 - you can manage central settings with the mozilla.cfg file in the firefox program folder. this article gives some guidance on how to implement that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
    i think it may work to just install the new versions on top of the older ones (though i'm not sure if this has any unintended side effects on those very old installations) or according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments it's possible to run a silent uninstall through the setup executable by /S.
