Silent installation of Shockwave WITHOUT GOOGLE BLOATWARE and WITH ActiveX

I believe a lot of corporate admins are looking for the answer to this question from Adobe...
Q. How do we silently install Shockwave player on our coporate machines WITHOUT installing the GOOGLE BLOATWARE and at the same time ensure that the ActiveX is embedded with the browsers?
At this moment in time we are downloading and installing Shockwave centrally using the SLIM installers because the Full installers install the Google Toolbar bloatware. This is a dark road and Adobe going down this route is in my eyes no different from e-mail SPAM (We don't want it!).
However the issue with this installation is that the users still get prompted to install Shockwave and the associated Google Toolbar bloatware when they vist Shockwave enabled websites, even though Shockwave is successfully listed in Add/Remove/Programs. I believe this is because it's trying to install the ActiveX? This is no good if the users isn't an admin. Perhaps this is because we are using the Slim version?
Anyhow, Adobe, the question still stands....
Q. How do we silently install Shockwave player on our coporate machines WITHOUT installing the GOOGLE BLOATWARE and at the same time ensure that the ActiveX is embedded with the browsers?
P.S. Here's our current command line installation:  sw_lic_slim_installer.exe /S _?=C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11
Thanks,

If you use the MSI installer, you don't get any bloatware.
All you need to do is fill out the licensing info on this site: http://www.adobe.com/products/players/shockwave-player-licensing-distribution.html
Then you can download the MSI installer and just install it with a command like like this: msiexec /i sw_lic_full_installer.msi /qn /log c:\support\logs\applogs\ShockWave_12.0.0.112.log
If you don't use something like SMS or SCCM you could do it through goup policy or whatever mechanism you're using now.
Also, IIRC, the exe downloaders you get from the license distribution page are different from the regular downloads, and also lack any bloatware.
Hope that helps!

  • My automatic adobe flash player installer tried to install google chrome and did not allow opt out

    my automatic Adobe Flash Player updated tried to install Google Chrome without giving me the opporltunity to opt out?

    I witnessed this myself two nights ago while testing an upgrade in Windows 7.
    It HAS been reported to development, but... like 99% of the people here, we (myself and the MVP user who reported it) are just Adobe users like you, so reporting it with screenshots was the best we can do.
    I use Chrome myself, but only for testing webpages I build, and I've never used their toolbar, because it's an open portal for malware... hence the report filed with DEV.
    All we can do now is cross our fingers and hope they have it worked out by the next update cycle.

  • Subsequent Settlement - without periodic condition and with calendar

    Hey everyone,
    I hope you can help me with my issue. We are trying to use the subsequent settlement process for vendor rebate arrangements. We want to use the functionality to extend the rebate arrangement but we don't want to use periodic conditions. The goal is to only make a final settlement each year.
    Is this even possible? If I maintain the rebate type and set an arrangement calendar I have to maintain the periodic calendar as well. If I then settle the document, there will always be an empty position in the vendor billing document for the partial setting.
    At the moment both calendars are empty and we have to create a complete new rebate arrangement every year.
    Thanks and regards
    Kai

    You can follow the best practices to configure it at first.
    Look for G84 in http://help.sap.com/bp_blv1600/BL_ES/html/index.htm
    The procedure is to create the agreement with meb1, adjust the volume with meb4 and in case you need to update volume backwards it is the Meba transaction.
    send the news after having checked your configuration with best practices.

  • Distribution sw_lic_full_installer.msi installs two Shockwave Versions

    The Distribution sw_lic_full_installer.msi installs version 11.5.0.600 in C:\WINNT\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11 and 10.4.0.25 in C:\WINNT\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10.  Where as the sw_lic_full_installer.exe for distribution only installs 11.5.0.600 which is the new security update.  I need a good msi for a silent installation package as soon as possible.

    Sean,
    With the past installations they only contained one version.  I need to make sure that this will be secure for our environment since this is a security update.  That is my concern.

  • 10gAS Silent Installation on Red Hat Linux AS 3.0

    Silent installation on RHL AS 3.0 fails with Error : Packages version not per Installation requirement.
    OUI is erroring out on gcc, compat-* packages. These packages on my machine are more recent than than the one required by the installer.
    The install completes successfully if i skip the warning in interactive mode. Does any one know of any flag or environment variables that would skip the package check and proceed with silent installation?
    Thanks

    I use a little script which says:
    echo Y | {path}/runInstaller -responsefile {path}/my.rsp
    This echoes the mandatory Y into runInstaller.

  • Seprate Silent installation proofing tools 2010

    Hello,
    i am trying to do a silent installation of MS proofing tools 2010.
    On my cliënts office 2010 is already installed.
    I am trying to do this with the following config.xml
    <Configuration Product="Proofkit">
     <!-- <Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="YES" /> -->
     <!-- <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Proofkit Setup(*).txt" /> -->
     <!-- <USERNAME Value="Customer" /> -->
     <!-- <COMPANYNAME Value="Customer" /> -->
     <!-- <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> -->
     <!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> -->
     <!-- <LIS SOURCELIST="\\share\server\location of office 2010" /> -->
     <!-- <DistributionPoint Location="\\\share\server\location of office 2010" /> -->
     <!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->

     <!-- <Command Path="%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe" Args="/i
    \\server\share\my.msi" QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> -->
    </Configuration>
    I have tried this with MDT of working directory to the installation-dir of the proofing tools, and with the following quiet install:
    setup.exe /config
    \\server\share\Proofing\ProofKit.WW\config.xml
    This is still not working well.
    What is needed to create a full working application-task sequence for MS proofing tools 2010?
    Thx

    Hi,
    setup.exe /config Proofing\ProofKit.WW\config.xml should work, since the working directory is set to the folder of the designated application. In this case, your proofing tool application directory.
    Another way to do it, is to create an install.cmd and use "%~DP0" but that takes a bit away the use of having applications.
    A third option which I wonder if you have looked into, is that MDT recognizes other Microsoft (especially Office related) products, and provide an additional property pane on your application properties, where you can address these specific settings and
    properties.
    I think this will even work better!

  • Silent installation of Oracle 9i client fails

    Hi, I need to do a silent installation of th Oracle 9i client on W2K.
    Using a Oracle supplied response file works fine. However, when I try to use a response file which was recorded from a previous installation with 'setup -record -destinationFile x.rsp' only a part of the required files are installed.
    I need to use a 'recorded' response file since this seems to be the only way to bypass the question for the Oracle MTS (which shows up even in a silent installation).
    Are there any know problems with using a 'recorded' response file ? I didn't find any useful hints in the documentation.
    Thanks and regards
    Michael

    Hi,
    Well, the steps as the same as install Oracle Server Database.
    Which tools on the Oracle Client you want to use ?
    Maybe Oracle Instant Client is more interesting for you.
    Look this link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html

  • Creating a silent installer using CVIRTE.msi fails to install CVIRTE.dll, MESA.dll etc.

    I’m creating a silent installer for my LabWINDOWS CVI apps and I’m installing LabVIEW RTE 8.2.1 (for DataSockets) and CVI RTE 8.0.1.
    If I use the self extracting *.zip files and manually install the above RTE’s everything is fine with no problems.  However I want to create an installer exe and install the RTE’s silently.  My problem is that when I execute the CVIRTE.msi (either silently or manually) the respective CVIRTE.dll, MESA.dll etc are not installed.
    I’m expecting the CVI *.dll’s to be in the system dir – is this output path correct for the msi file?
    I’ve also searched the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\... for the dll’s to no avail?
    I’m I missing some other CVI msi file to execute in order to install the respecting dll’s?
    Notes:
    I’m executing the msi file on a XP pro SP2 machine with Administrative rights.
    I haven’t got around to installing and testing the lv82runtime.msi yet (LabVIEW RTE 8.2.1), which I need for DataSockets.  Can you pre-empt any issues, like the above, I may have regarding any respective dll’s etc for DataSockets?

    Sorry I posted it in the wrong forum - now also in LabWINDOWS/CVI

  • Shockwave "won't respond" and "has crashed" in  Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, can't use it anywhere

    Shockwave "won't respond" and "has crashed" in  Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, can't use it anywhere. I already tried completely removing every file it has, reinstalling it, and I went through the process of reinstalling Adobe Flash a couple of times. I'm using a PC. This has been going on for 3 days, it hasn't worked even once. It all seemed to have started right after I updated Google chrome, but Shockwave won't work on any browser, so I'm not sure if that's the case. Please help!
