Silent install LV and modules

Hi,
I made a silent install for LV and a lot modules. Everything seems to work except a few things:
1) How can I automate the connect with the license server without first start the license manager and add the license server manually
2) How can I automate the Activation ?
best regards

Silent Install of Acrobat Pro 7.0 fails with Error 1404

Hi,
I'm trying to silently install Acrobat Pro 7.0.
I have created the MST using the Installshield Tuner 7.0, and use the following command line to install:
msiexec /i acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=mytransform.mst /qb
I am getting the following error message:
Error 1404.Could not delete key
\software\Classes\CLSID\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}
Verify you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
If i repeat the command without the /qb, and do a manual install (msiexec /i acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=mytransform.mst), it installs without error, so the problem only exists in a silent install.
System Specs:
Windows XP SP2 with all MS patches to march 2007
Acrobat Reader 8.0
Base image created by SYSprep, and then using Altiris Rdeploy.
I'm suspecting that a MS patch has locked down that part of the registry, and the Acrobat Pro MSI doesn't have the code to handle this in a silent install.
I have opened the MSI using Wise installer Pro, and can't see anything strange in it.
Any help/pointers would be a great help
Thanks,

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.
The base build contains Reader 8.0, the we deliver a package to the machine to silently install Acrobat Pro 7
Thanks,

Acrobat silent install

Can anyone give me some insight as to why Acrobat 9 Pro will not install silently. I have tried more variations of this than I can count to get it to work. The last method involved me extracting the file AcroPro90_efg.exe with UNIExtractor. I then used the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to rebuild the package. I put the username, company name, serial, selected silent install option and a few other options, then saved the package. No matter what I try, the installation either quits without any indication as to why, or it will install but not be silent and asks me for the parameters. It seems as if the package is not reading the mst file to get the information to install silently. Even using the transforms switch does not seem to make any difference. Any one have any suggestions? TIA

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).

J2SE JDK 1.6.0_18 silent install ignores arguments

I'm trying to install J2SE 1.6.0_18 on Windows XP Professional w/ SP3 via the command line silent install function, and I'm trying to get all 3 portions of the install (JDK, JRE and JavaDB) to install to the D:\ drive. From what I've read in the forums and from the instructions I found on the [webnotes page|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jdk/install-windows.html] , I came up with the following command that should work:
jdk-6u18-windows-i586.exe /s INSTALLDIR=\"d:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\" INSTALLDIRPUBJRE=\"d:\Program Files\Java\jre6\" INSTALLDIRJAVADB=\"d:\Program Files\Sun\JavaDB\"However, when the command is run, the JDK is installed to the correct location, but the JRE and JavaDB are installed to their default locations.
I've also run the installation through the GUI and noticed that even there, there is no option to specify where the JavaDB gets installed. I'm able to specify the location for the JDK and the JRE, but that's it.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Maybe something I've missed?

Try the following with the parameter INSTALLDIR without forward slash and both */INSTALLDIRJAVADB* and */INSTALLDIRPUBJRE* with forward slash
jdk-6u26-windows-i586.exe /s INSTALLDIR=\"c:\java\jdk-6u26\" /INSTALLDIRJAVADB=\"c:\java\javadb-6u26\" /INSTALLDIRPUBJRE=\"c:\java\jre-6u26\"If you want to use ADDLOCAL please note that */INSTALLDIRJAVADB* and/or */INSTALLDIRPUBJRE* only work if the values PublicjreFeature and/or JavaDBFeature are in ADDLOCAL. e.g.
jdk-6u26-windows-i586.exe /s ADDLOCAL="ToolsFeature,DemosFeature,SourceFeature,JavaDBFeature,PublicjreFeature" INSTALLDIR=\"c:\java\jdk-6u26\" /INSTALLDIRJAVADB=\"c:\java\javadb-6u26\" /INSTALLDIRPUBJRE=\"c:\java\jre-6u26\"

[BO 5.1] Choose modules to install for a silent install

Hye,
under BO 5.1, I use the following command who realizes a complete silent install :
.\setup\setup.exe -key xxxx-yyyyy-zzzz -rdbmskey aaaa-bbbbb-cccc -silent -skip
The problem is that command install the default modules, and I don't want supervisor and designer modules. How can I do that please ? It is exists a switch or parameter to insert in command or what tip I can use ? if some have an idea, thanks for your help.

Hello Metan,
I recommend to post this question in a different [Legacy Products forum|SAP BusinessObjects BI Legacy Products;.
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Administration queries for Legacy products remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,

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
op_viewer.ini
resolved.dns
plugins.ini - will be different if you've installed any

PSE 10 and Adobe CS6: When running silent install help is not working afterwards

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. If not: Please help me find the correct one.
I have a big issue with Adobe CS6 (and former versions like Photoshop Elements 10): When installing it from DVD running GUI everything is working fine afterwards. If I install e.g. Photoshop Elements 10 using "Silent Installation" help is not working afterwards. It states that it cannot locate the URL. I have not installed AIR and also do not plan to install it.
I have 'played' a little around with Common Files\Adobe\helpcfg and help directory. Now at least I do not get an error message but still it's not the online help which opens in the browser but the web page that is defined as 'home'.
The same I see now in Adobe CS6. I have e.g. packaged After Effects and Illustrator and when deploying it I'm not able to open help as well and I fear that this is the same issue.
Has anyone deeper knowledge about how "helpcfg" is working? Any example files? Any other help appreciated as well.
Kind regards
János

@hannilator Have you checked the exceptions folder contents for instructions on how to push to logged off computers? Here's what I get when I package CS6 (DesignWebPrem) and excude AIR/CHC:
After you have deployed the package, separately install the products in the exception folder.
IMPORTANT: Before you install the products in the exception folder, refer to the following Adobe Knowledgebase article for information on installing these products and configuring the settings correctly:
http://www.adobe.com/go/aamee_exceptions
NOTE: The installation commands provided below will work when the user is logged in to the client machine where the package is being deployed. For the scenario where the user is not logged in, prefix the following string to the command:
sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'`
As an example, here is the command to install "Adobe AIR" when the user is not logged in to the client machine (assuming Adobe AIR is part of the package):
sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'` Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent

Silent install of 10.1.0 (MUI) Reader and patches leaves teh previous Version in Add remove prog

Hello,
having major issues with a silent install to 3300 users.
I Have a vb script that runs in SCCM to install reader 10.1.0 (MUI) and the increnetal patches for 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 both MUI. I have created a transform to not use a desktop icon, turn on protect mode and supress the eula. 3 problems.
1. The script searches for old versions and completly install the mui version over all with the following command line:
"AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst PATCH="AdbeRdrUpd1011_MUI.msp; AdbeRdrUpd1012_MUI.msp" ALLUSERS=1 LANG_ID=1033 PRODUCTLANGUAGE=1033 LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES REMOVE_PREVIOUS=YES EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES /qn /norestart /LOG c:\progra~1\Adobe\AdobeReader10.1.2.log"
Setup.ini file reads:

RequireMSI=3.0
RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
CmdLine=/sl"1033" /rs /sPB

Problems on about 100 computers so far:
1. If the system had 10.1.1 and not the 10.1.1 MUI and 10.1.2 MUI stay in Add Remove Programs
2. Systems that get the full uninstall and reinstall even if adobe is closed and browser is closed and user can not read files from the web or email after the complete install to 10.1.2 mui. Adobe works locally.
3. Some systems appear to upgrade fine.
HELP PLEASE!!!!

With Administrative Installation Points I've always found it best to remove the old version first with a script using [msiexec.exe /x {APPLICATION_GUID} ] before installing the new AIP. You should read the documentation about 10.x AIP though.

JRE 1.4.2_10 Silent install using MSi and JRE 5.0_06

I have been unable to install JRE 1.4.2_10 using the msi and mst silently. My company requires all applications be installed using and msi not an exe. and with no user intervention. I can install using the msi and mst but not silently,.
Also it does not allow me to choose IE as the default browser. I change the setting in the MST for IE, but this does not work, I still have to manually go in and change it after the install.
I have the same issue with version 5.0_06. This does allow me to choose IE as the default browser but does not install silently.
I am installing on Windows 2000 SP4.

Can't help you with the MSI/MST part of your question directly, however we use the following command line:
jre-1_5_0_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress JAVAUPDATE=0 SYSTRAY=0"
You might be able to make IEXPLORER=1 work for you via the MSI?
Additionally, you can manage JRE settings via the following method -
Place a file called 'deployment.config' in the following location:
%SystemRoot%\Sun\Java\Deployment
This file can act as a pointer to a configuration file (aka jre.properties)
The contents of 'deployment.config' would look like (as an example):
deployment.system.config=file://///servername/share/jre.properties
'jre.properties' would then contain this like:
deployment.version=1.5.0
deployment.browser.path=C\:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe
deployment.javaws.version=javaws-1.4.2_05

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.

Silent Install w/Admin and Managed Servers

I noticed on versions 11 and 12 of Weblogic, it seems the parameters available for a silent install have been greatly simplified to where it just does a base install. How would I go about getting it to do a silent install with an Admin server and 2 Managed servers? Do I need to do an install and update-install or is there a way I can do all this in 1 shot?
Thanks In Advance
Nic

An example is given here: Middleware Snippets: Automate WebLogic 12.1.2 Deployment.

I need to silently install the latest Mozilla firefox on Win7 machines, I do not see any .msi available and the /S or -S commands on the setup.exe installer does not work. Does someone know what can I do?

I need the silent install of firefox for image deployment.

For windows 7, you can use the -ms switch. For example, I have a batch file that works great. It contains the following:
@ECHO.
@Echo Installing Firefox
@start /wait "Firefox Setup 3.6.10.exe" -ms
However this does not seem to work well in windows XP. To get it to work in windows XP, I had to remove the spaces from the firefox installer and run the following command:
@start /wait FirefoxSetup3.6.10.exe -ms
If anyone has an easier way to get silent install working under XP (without renaming the firefox installer) please let me know!
