RoboHelp 8 - silent install

Hello,
I have looked around this forum and I couldn't find any comment about silent install on adobe robohelp 8 application.
I have the application and I can not install the CSTI Driver CS4 for the RoboHelp 8 with the -silent -LANGUAGE="1033".............. that command i took it from adobe.com/kb webpage.
Can someone tell me if that command needs something else in order to install the CSTI Driver , because it can be installed from steup with all the windows and hitting the Next button.
Thank you in advance for any ideas that you have.

  • How do I create a silent install for Adobe Robohelp 11.0? AAMEE fails

    I have tried to create a silent install for Adobe Roboehelp 11 using AAMEE v. 3.1 but after inserting "product installation folder", "package name" and "save to" and choosing "next" the picture just greys out.
    If if choose "next" again I get to the options page but it is empty.
    I tried using an older version of AAMEE and here I can create an unserialized build but it wont accept the my license code (which works fine if I install manually)
    Does anyone know how to solve this?
    I am using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64 bit.
    Best Regards,
    Christian Roejbaek

    Hi Christian,
    You have to use Creative cloud packager (CCP) to create the package for RoboHelp 11, AAMEE will not work for the latest version. CCP will be available in your LWS website(www.licensing.adobe.com) . Download CCP from LWS website and create a package for RH 11.
    Please refer to the below link for more information of CCP:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/creating-packages.html
    Once you will reach "The Application and Updates screen " on CCP window then you have to click on "Add Offline Media" and select the "product installer folder" as RH 11 might not show in the list of products on that screen.
    After creating the package:
    Steps to follow to deploy silently on single machine:
    1. Open CMD in Administrator mode.
    2. Give the path till inside the build folder of the package. For Example if the build is saved on your Desktop the path in CMD should be as below:
    C:\Users\[username]\Desktop\Packagefolder\packagename\Build>
    3. Now type the following installation command: msiexec.exe /i packagename.msi /quiet
    4. Launch Task Manager.
    5.There will be three process of “msiexec.exe”
    a)   6.One will be under System
    b)   7.Other Two will be under [username].
    8.Installation will be completed once both the process of msiexec.exe under the [username] are finished.
    9.The installation process with take 5 to 10 minutes

  • Silent install of RoboHelp 7.0

    Hello
    I need to create a silent install of RoboHelp 7.0 for
    distribution within our organisation.
    I have noted that one of the headlines concerning new
    features in version 7.0 is "Silent install" but I haven't been able
    to find any real information on how to do this. Can anyone point me
    in the right direction.
    I know how to create Transforms and know how to handle MSI's
    but would like to do this "the right way"
    How about adding the serialnumber on advance? Is this
    possible or does Adobe require that every single user goes through
    that process manually??
    Any help is greatly appriciated!
    Regards,
    Christian Roejbaek

    Hello Peter
    Thank you for your help but unfortunately I am not able to
    make it work.
    Here is the exact string I have used;
    msiexec /qn /L* "c:\RH.log" /I "C:\RoboHelp\Adobe RoboHelp
    7.msi" USERNAME=xxx COMPANYNAME=xxx
    SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx EPIC_EULA_ACCEPTED=1
    TRANSFORMS=C:\RoboHelp\1033.mst
    RoboHelp is installed but on startup I am still presented
    with the "Software Setup-page" where I have to choose either
    entering a serial number or choosing 30 days trial period.
    On the other hand I have found a solution using simple
    setupcapture of the setup-procedure. Entering the serial number is
    stored in a single file which can be added to a transform using
    normal techniques.
    I guess I'll go with that solution then.
    Thank you for trying though.

  • Silent Install for RoboHelp 7?

    The silent install option is listed as a feature for the new
    RoboHelp 7. However I am unable to find a list of command line
    switches to make this happen. Using the command line msiexec /i
    Adobe RoboHelp 7 /QN I am able to launch the MSI, however I cannot
    find a switch to include the serial number in the installation so
    that a user does not have to enter it. Is there a list anywhere of
    what command line switches are available to use to silently install
    this product with all needed features enabled or disabled? Or
    perhaps a specific .xml file that needs to be referenced? Any info
    would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Problems performing silent install of CR XI Rel 2

    We are using the instructions from the installation guide to perform a silent install by running the command
    setup.exe ADDLOCAL=ALL EXCLUDEDOTNETFILES=1 EXCLUDEJAVAFILES=1 EXCLUDERDCFILES=1 CLIENTLANGUAGE=EN REBOOT=ReallySuppress PIDKEY=(actualKey) INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5" /live c:\temp\cr_11.log /qn
    The installation runs but fails at the end of the installation when attempting to put the shortcuts in the users or All users Start Menu with the error of MainEngineThread is returning 1603 (when under user ID) or MainEngineThread is returning 1604 (when under All Users).  The installation is being run with an administrator access login ID, so access to either area should not be a problem.
    The installation is on both Windows 2000 and XP pc's and the win32 directory of the msi installation files have been copied locally to the machine as part of the process to eliminate network lag.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get past this?

  • How to handle "/9.2.0/root.sh as root from another window" in silent instal

    Hi,
    I was successful to start a silent installation of Oracle9iR2 using a responsefile on my System RHEL 3. But the installation ends soon and a wrong successful install message:
    Error :*** Alert: A configuration script needs to be run as root before installation can proceed. Please leave this window up, go run /opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/root.sh as root from another window, then come back here and click OK to continue. ***
    The installation of Oracle9i Database was successful.
    I use -ignorePatchConflicts for ignoring the patch conflicts. But How do I handle these issues. Where I have to run root.sh ... etc in teh Non Interactive Install.
    I am scripting solution for non interactive install and manual intervention to run these root.sh shell scripts at different points of install is not a good idea as it wont help me automate the install.
    Please let me know if anyone has solved this problem with -silent install.
    Thanks in advance.
    Senthil

    Thats me (OP) again:
    I tried setting:
    SHOW_ROOTSH_CONFIRMATION=false in the response file. But still no help. The installation exits at run root.sh prompt point. How I can effectively deal with it in a script?

  • 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.

  • How can I do a silent install of Firefox 23 since the -ms switch doesn't work?

    I have been able to do a silent install of all the previous versions of Firefox using the -ms switch. But when I use it on the new version, the user interface comes up and it never did that before. I have tried different silent switches but non of them worked.

    Not the most experienced at this but are you using the stub installer, maybe you can try the classic installer and try again?
    Hopefully this helps.

  • How can I perform a silent install of an application AND use "run executable after installation"

    I am trying to do a silent install of a program I built using LabVIEW 8.5.  I also need to call an exe after the installation, so I am using the "run executable after installation" option on the Advanced tab of the installer.  I then pass the following command lines to the setup.exe:
    /qb /acceptlicenses yes /r
    This installs the LabVIEW program successfully, but does not then run the additional exe afterward.  If I run the setup.exe normally (with no command line parameters), the additional exe gets run.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    This problem is fixed in a future release of LabVIEW. Here's the CAR ID 67549 for tracking purposes.

  • SAP BPC 7.5 Client, Silent install but with progress bar, can it be done?

    Hi All,
    I need to uninstall the BPC 7 Client and then deploy 7.5 to around 250 users accross the country.
    We have SCCM (SMS) in place so will be using that.
    I have the uninstall of 7 sorted and I have the response file etc sorted for the silent install of 7.5 and the install runs, silently, no issue.
    Is there a way though that one can "turn on" the progress bar during the install? So that users dont shutdown or disconnect in the 15min it takes the install to run.
    By way of example, in the SAP Business objects enterprise client on can configure the Silent install so that although it never prompts the user for a reponse there is a progress bar that runs, indicating that there is an install in progress.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bryan

    Hi Sebastian,
    No worries, I am using a pop up countdown so the users have some idea on progress. Would love to know why the install runs for over 15min.
    In the above case the uninstall was easy as we had deployed using MS AppV so it was just a case of deleting the advert in SCCM and the application was pulled from the users desktops.
    For 7.5 I am using a vbscript with following to uninstall:
    The install string pulled from the clients registry uninstall folder:
    RunCommand Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{EC8753EF-EE78-48B5-A4D0-FBBD237B5D53}\setup.exe" & Chr(34) & " -runfromtemp -l0x0009UNINSTALL -removeonly"
    We create a custom link, so this deletes it.
    DeleteFile "c:\Users\Public\Desktop\SAP BPC 7.5.lnk"
    You should be able to create something similar for 7.0 & 7.1
    Hope that helps,
    Bryan

  • "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall" following CF9 silent install

    When running a silent CF9 install I'm unable to remove the product, either through control panel or running the uninstaller directly.  The error is "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall Adobe Coldfusion 9.  Please contact your system administrator."   Coldfusion works perfectly fine after the silent install, it just cannot be cleanly removed
    This is being run as a local administrator on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 in both cases, from an elevated command prompt.  If I run the installer interactively with the same settings it works as expected and can be removed without any trouble
    My silent install parameters are:
    INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
    SILENT_LICENSE_MODE=full
    SILENT_SERIAL_NUMBER=#LICENSE#

    I looked over the options in http://blogs.adobe.com/cfdoc/2009/10/performing_a_silent_installation_of_coldfusion_9.html but dont see anything else related to the user context on Windows.  Is there something else I'm missing, or is this a bug?

    Thanks Anit,

  • Silent install in the enterprise

    Hi.
    Please can you let me know if there has been any update on how to perform a silent install for Adobe Digital Editions. I specifically want to automate the activation process for multiple users by selecting the do not authorise option automatically so the install completes without any user interaction.
    Thanks

    Thanks "Frustrated AZ", that 'contradiction' does make sense although it does slightly leave us business users out in the cold. My challenge is that the UK's largest legal services provider has chosen eBooks instead of PDF's, and is recommending ADE to their business clients.
    "mrt11011", I see now what you meant (missed it in your earlier post) and I have also hit the proverbial brick wall. I have not been able to find a way to suppress the activate screens, and having suppressed the EULA is not much of a consolation. I was able to automate it completely using Winbatch (a fantastic Windows admin scripting / tool), using keystrokes but was forced to use "mouse clicks" because the activate wizard doesn't support keyboard shortcuts. I digress... Unfortunately I cannot (yet) accomodate different screen resolutions because it's Flash and the operating system isn't clearly identifying the child and parent windows to Winbatch. If I crack it I will certainly post my solution here.
    Hopefully Adobe's wizards will scroll through these posts and do something for businesses.

  • Error in the instructions for performing a silent install

    There's an error in the instructions for performing a silent install of Photoshop Elements:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-photoshop-element s-1.html
    In step 9, the instructions say to use the following command line:
    start /wait "path to Setup.exe" /UL%LangCode% /V“SERIALNUMBER=%AOO volume license serial number%"
    The correct command line, however, is this:
    start /wait "path to Setup.exe" /UL%LangCode% /V"SERIALNUMBER=%AOO volume license serial number%"
    See the difference? Look closely at the character after the /V. In the instructions on the website, they put in a "curly quote" character. This obviously needs to be a straight quote.
    Interestingly enough, the erroneous command line from the web site will actually work just fine as posted if all you are passing in the /V is the serial number. If, however, you wanted to add a "NODESKTOPICON=1" to disable the creation of a desktop shortcut, for example:
    start /wait "path to Setup.exe" /UL%LangCode% /V“SERIALNUMBER=%AOO volume license serial number% NODESKTOPICON=1"
    then it fails to run silently.
    I post this in the hopes that Adobe will fix the typo in their instructions and save other admins the hours of grief I've been put through today trying to get this working.

    Check the response file where you define the SGA memory size for the new database.
    You can also choose not to create the database at the installation and do it afterwards, making a specific response file for it. (I'd recommend specially this option. like that you can separate possible installation errors with the ones on the DB creation process).
    Good luck.
