Silent install of custom application

Is there is a way , where we can use adobe service to install the custom application as silent installers through web browser as soon as people login into our webapplication.

Thank you for the reply, my requirement is like this, we have developed a web application, which requires certain dll's and other files to be installed on a client machine to run this application. The prerequisties has to be installed as soon as they login into our application first time at the back ground, without user intervention

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.

Issue with NI-CAN 2.7.5 DLL(s) install for custom applications

We have custom applications built on top of NI-CAN for Windows using the MS Visual C lib and header. In the past, to run our applications, we simply installed the latest NI-CAN package. Our applications would run, find and access any runtime DLLs, and be fine.
With NI-CAN 2.7.5 though, we are seeing errors in our applications that suggest they cannot see the required DLL necessary to operate. The error is:
"A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed."
Did anything change in 2.7.5 with regards to the placement or installation DLLs required to run custom NI-CAN applications?

I was able to get a little more information. Using Visual Studio to get a debug log, I see the following. With 2.7.4, the NI-CAN DLLs load and it work fine:
'MATLAB.exe': Loaded 'E:\jobarchive\Btm1\2014_02_21_h12m30s17_job89749_pass\matlab\toolbox\vnt\vnt\mexNICAN.mexw32', Symbols loaded.

On 2.7.5 though, additional error information shows up:

'MATLAB.exe': Unloaded 'C:\Windows\System32\nipal32.dll'
'MATLAB.exe': Unloaded 'C:\Windows\System32\nipalut.dll'
You can see it tries to load under 2.7.5, get a bunch of PDB file issues and then immediately unloads.
Inspecting the DLLs under 2.7.4 vs 2.7.5, they look identical except for the nicanDBA.dll. That's the only one that has a version difference between NI-CAN versions. In both 2.7.4 and 2.7.5, all DLLs are being properly installed to \windows\system32 as expected so both sets are fully accessible path-wise.
Please advise.

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.

Silenting Installing AIR applications using Altiris

I was wondering if anyone can provide some guidance or
recommendations on how to silently install an AIR application using
Altiris. We are not able to package the .air installer and proceed
with the setup without prompting the user for the options screens.
Any help or assistance that can be provided would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!

If you have signed up for Adobe AIR Runtime Distribution Agreement, you should be able to use Silent Installation of AIR Runtime and App. We use that in our msi installer.
Usage is:
-silent {-eulaAccepted ( -location <loc> ) -desktopShortcut -programMenu} path_to_air_file
Details of the options are included in the adobe_air_runtime_redistribution.pdf that you will get when you sign the agreement.

Silentely deploy an air application

Hi,
AIR is already installed on my computer. I run a v3.
Now I want to silentely install an air application (not air itself) on many computers so double clicking the air file is not an option. Anyone knows how to silentely answers the questions asked during the install ?
I also get the message saying the publisher is unknown. Is there a way to skip this step without digitally signing the application ?
Thanks

Silent Install?

I would like to migrate a client java application we have to
an air application. However, the product supports100-300 clients.
We have an automated mechnism to install/update all of the client
software, so no user interaction is required on the client systems.
I have searched through this forum, and it seems there is no way to
do an install of the air runtime or an air application without
being prompted with the liscense agreement dialogs.
Are there any plans to to enable a silent install of the air
runtime and air applications? If so is there a timeframe when it
will be enabled?

Yes; the only supported mechanism for silently installing an
AIR application will be via the redistribution support.
We've done it this way because it's the only way to guarantee
that, when your application is installed, the correct version of
AIR also gets installed. In fact, it's the re-distributable
installer for AIR--the thing you sign up for--that contains the
capability of silently installing an AIR application.

Yolanda,
Thank you very much for your concern and your assistance!
Unless you instructor otherwise, I will implement the following steps:
1. Download the System Update Readiness Tool from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/what-is-the-system-update-readiness-tool and run.
2. Shutdown PC.
3. Start PC.
4. Disable Avast Free A/V SW.
5. Install Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems (KB2931356).
6. Post outcome here.
7. If install fails, upload the cbs file (windows\logs\cbs) and windows update log (%windir%\Windowsupdate.log) here for further analysis.
Thank you, again, for helping me.
Sincerely,
Jim Kochanski
I followed all of the steps above.
When I went to install the update, seven were available and all seven failed (see below).
The log files were too large to cut and paste therefore you can find them at:

Silent install Air Runtime and Air App with custom installer?

I want to use a custom installer that will perform some actions, and then silently install air runtime and an air application. The goal here is to be able to perform a customized install for an Air application (for a user that might not have Air installed) without confusing the user with multiple install screens. Can I use a custom installer to silently install Air (if the user doesn't have it installed) and the Air app? If so, are there any restrictions on the custom installer? If there are any examples of this, please provide the links.

Since you applied for the distribution from Adobe you should
have received a link to a page where you can download what they
call the "side-car" installer. It's basically an installation
system they are making available to developers that can be easily
configured to deliver a bundled runtime and application
installation for Mac and Windows.
Check your email again and see if you can't find a link in
there pointing you to a download page for the AIR runtime as well
as the aforementioned side-car installer. For those who don't know,
here
is where you can apply for a redistribution permit for AIR.
I have a small tutorial posted that might be of help to you

AIR Application Silent install

Is it possible to start AIR application immediately after Silent install.
We have already signed up Adobe AIR Runtime Distribution Agreement.
and i am using below command line for silent install.
Airinstaller.exe -silent -eulaAccepted -location "C:/Program Files/Abcd" abcd.air
It works fine. But i want to launch AIR application immediately after install. Is it possible?
Thanks!

Thanks for posting the log. It appears that the install is failing during the MSI portion of the install.
Microsoft has just released a brand new tool that should help you resolve this problem. Would you mind giving it a try and let us know how it works for you? When running the new tool, go through the uninstall process and try to remove AirWrite from your system. Once that's done, give your command line another try.

Silent Install fails, normal install works. Application Server 10.1.2

Hi All,
I'm setting up an automated install of Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2 (Forms and Reports). When I install it silently using a silent install file, the install completes succuessfully but it isn't actually fully functional, and it isn't recognized by OEM Grid Control.
When I install it normally, using the gui, it works fine and is recognized by the OEM Grid Crontrol.
I'm running on Solaris 10 zones, and I used the recording feature for Silent installations to generate a silent file, but that didn't help either.
Any advice? Tips? Information and your own personal experience would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

I realized that I was missing a few parameteres that I found at this site:

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

Adobe Acrobat XI Standard 11.0.10 silent install failing with error 1603

Hello
I just updated my AIPs for Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 Pro and Standard. The Pro silent install is working fine. But I cannot get the Standard install to run on Windows 7 or WIndows 8. I have gone over every detail that I can think of or find on forums.
I use the Adobe Customization Wizard XI and choose the basic stuff to create my transform. I don't generally enter a serial number in the customization setup but I tried that and the installation did appear to complete successfully. But when I tried to open Acrobat it did not work. Processes like PDapp.exe where running in a loop but never stopped. Without a serial I get the errors below and the install fails almost immediately. I have recreated the API and transform a few times hoping it would help.
Installing with the following line msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroStan.msi" TRANSFORMS=AcroStan.mst /qb /L*v c:\acrobat.log I get an error message that just says "error".
Application Event logs
Product: Adobe Acrobat XI Standard -- error.
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. Product Version: 11.0.10. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems. Installation success or error status: 1603.
When I run the AcroStan.msi by itself the installation completes successfully so it would appear the issue is in customization process or the .mst file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I'm assuming that verbose logging is accomplished by adding /L*v c:\acrobat.log ? No, I do not have CustomAction AAMIU_Install.196A45B3_0387_4DF9_9420 in my log file. The only items referencing 1603 are below.
