Silent install hangs due to secure connection prompt

It would appear the "silent install" instructions have not been truly updated in years. The writeup for 1.4.2 is the last robust writeup I can find.
What flag is needed to do a true unattended installation of the JRE or JDK? As it stands the installer will either (a) bring up the secure connection prompt in spite of being a silent install, or worse (b) hang completely.
... the command I'm running:
jre-6u24-windows-x64.exe /s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 STATIC=1"
Work blocks most image hosting sites so here is a link to the exact dialog which should NOT pop up when doing a silent install, but does anyway: http://blog.gordonturner.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tweetdeck-error.jpg

Why use the STATIC flag? Doing so overwrites the patch-in-place function
This is by design. The machines being built are on a closed network that will throw security alerts whenever unexpected network calls are made (e.g. an auto update poll).
Can you just run <installer> /s ?
As part of the troubleshooting process I have run it with all flags in all combinations, including the basic "/s". The dialog is thrown regardless.
If there's a problem, maybe you should try the offline installer?
This is the offline installer. It's not exactly offline. Quite exasperating to be honest.

Silent install of acrobat 9 that will prompt for serial number

I need to roll out a number of client computers from Dell using their Image Direct program. We order an acrobat license with each computer and when we get the computer from Dell with the Dell image it comes pre-installed with acrobat 9 and the first time you run the program it prompts you for the serial which is on the acrobat cd that is included. I would like to replicate that with the custom image we put on there to load at the factory.
Currently with our imaging setup I replicated that by installing with a serial number then deactivating and removing the serial number before imaging. When we restored the image and started acrobat 9 it again prompted for the serial which allowed us to put in the unique serial number that comes with the computer.
I don't have that option with Image Direct as I can't pre-install acrobat due to virtual drivers so the only way to add it to image is to upload a silent install package and scipt it to install during the image build. This means I don't have a chance to deactivate the serial number used for install before it gets to end user.
Is there a way around this without going to enterprise licensing and being able to use the same serial number on all installs?

It sounds like you are trying to use a retail serial as an enterprise serial and would like to bypass it's restrictions by deactivating it . . . I assume that's not possible, but perhaps I don't understand your issue.
I doubt you'll get a good answer on the forum. Try support, your sales rep, or a help link on the licensing web site (if there is one).

MfE hangs when running secure connection set to No

We have a problem with a certficate on your Exchange server. Which means that I get a certificate warning every time it updates the mail. Therefore I want to sync mail via an "unsure connection".
But then the mailsync just hangs, with nothing happening?
Any idea?
Seems like my new E52 is not able to sync mail, when connection is "unsure".
The Exchange server does not require a secure connections. I no that for sure - because it worked with my E65 i had before.

Hah...
Just found the solution myself.
MfE is set to secure connection by default. And to use port 443.
But port 443 is only for secure connections I just found out.
So when I set the connection to "unsure" I also changed the port to 80 (which I think the phone should do by itself...)
Did the trick...

Silent install hanging

Hi, I'm using iAS 6.0 SP1B and iWS 4.1 SP8 on Solaris 8. I am having a
slight problem with the silent install feature. When I run the silent
install, it works correctly however it seems to hang at the very end. I get
the iWS startup message and it says it's listening on port 80 but then it
just seems to freeze. If i kill the silent install at that point everything
is fine, it's just that I'm writing a wrapper script that does some
modifications to the kjs script after the install so this freeze messes
things up. I have tried running the silent install with iWS running
previously and with it shut down previously; same result either way. Has
anyone experienced this problem or know what to do?
Thanks,
Lincoln

Hi Lincoln,
Please send me your install.inf file.

Server get hang due to JDBC connections

Hello Folks,
Recently we have seen very strange problems ...

Suddenly Tomcat which runs our application becomes dead slow. Total number of db connections goes around 30-40. kill -3 thread dump reveals dump similar to following:

I have seen this issue has been faced by other members too http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=343023&start=15&tstart=0
But I couldn't able to fine any resolution on this problem. If you have any suggestion it will help a lot to resolve it.

If that is the problem then one obvious solution would be to not spend so much time scrolling through a result set that the pool decides a timeout is in order.

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

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.

Any upgrade will be to the most recent, compatible version, in this case 7.0.6.

Adobe Acrobat Connect plugin silent install

Does anyone know how to do a silent install from the setup.exe? The closest I could get was by running setup.exe /silent, but the progress bar still popped up, although it skipped the first screen where you click next.

If you download the add-in installer named setup.exe, and you do a right-click -> properties -> version, you will see in the Comments that it is an Innosetup file.
Going to www.innosetup.com, you can click on "Documentation", then "Other Information", then "Setup Command Line Parameters".
There you will find that the Command Line parameters to do a silent installation are:
/SP-
Disables the This will install... Do you wish to continue? prompt at the beginning of Setup. Of course, this will have no effect if the DisableStartupPrompt [Setup] section directive was set to yes.
/SILENT, /VERYSILENT
Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't disabled it with DisableStartupPrompt or the '/SP-' command line option explained above).

Can't install updates due to how admin/silent install was built

We finally dabbled with doing a silent/admin install for our Photoshop CS6 rollout. We thought everything worked great until we tried to do the check for updates from the menu, and it gave us a message saying that we couldn't.
I think what happened was when we built the admin/silent install, there was an option about updates. What we wanted to avoid was having the users (who don't have permissions to install the updates) getting prompted that an update was available. What I think we did was somehow made it so updates can't be downloaded/installed at all.
Is there a way to change the update behavior on each machine? Or do we have to uninstall Photoshop, then build a new silent installer package with a different option and reinstall it? I really hope there's a way to just change the setting somehow via the registry or a file.

Have you tried using the Creative Cloud Packager to edit your previous package? I've never tried it myself to see if it will give yoiu access to make changes.
If that option isn't available I believe there is a '.dat' file in the '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/' folder on Macs that I can delete to re-enable software updates (may be CC only though). I imagine there is a similar file on a PC that could be deleted or temporarily relocated or renamed to achieve the same result.

I have contacted apple via email and tried all the steps they have recommended and it is still not working.
I have tried disabling my McAfee and that does not work either.
Anyone that the phone number to apple express so I don't have to keep waiting for them to email within 48 hours?
Thanks.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

How do I change the Apple ID in an installed APP? I have changed the apple ID in all the other apps due to security reasons. All changes were effective except the APPS ID.Where do I go to change the Apple ID for the APPS store? Thanks in advance.

You do not. Apps and any content purchased from the iTunes store are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

Utilize Silent install to create a connection to a BODS repository

Hello,
Our product should install BODS 3.2 XI (12.2.2.0) in silent mode.
After recording an installation and running it silently, I entered to the "Data Services Management Console" from the start menu and after the login I get the following warning:
No Repository found. Please go to Administrator and register the repository you are interested in.
This error is not so accurate because I DO have a database which was defined as a repository during the installation, and all the database objects were created inside it correctly.
Generally I manually connect this database from the console Administrator with few manual steps and don't get the same warning again.
My question is if it is possible to do this manual operation automatically as part of the silent install and how?
It is essential for us that the user will give all the input at the beginning of the installation and won't have to do manual operation on BODS which is actually an internal framework used in our solution implementation, with which the user may not want to interact/know about at all.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi Manoj,
Thank you for your quick response! I am facing issue to startup the DS services after the installation, therefore not able to proceed to repository manager. Do you have any idea to resolve this?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thank you!
