Unattended Install of Captivate 4

This question was posted but marked as solved. I'm starting a new one sinceI can't get this working per the other thread's solution.
I've followed this document http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/openoptions/pdfs/manualenterprisedeployment_cs4_ help.pdf
During install time the installer halts at the serial number screen after running this command
setup.exe --deploymentfile="install.xml"
the install.xml file is supposed to apply the product key which was specified at the time the xml file was created. I have verified that the product key is in the xml itself.
I have also created the application.xml.override file within this folder "...\payloads\AdobeCaptivate4en_US\" with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="EULA">-1</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>
has anyone got this to work so it can be an unattended install? I don't need a silent install, just hands-off for the user and without the user entering the product key.
Thanks

Hi SAGinwalla,
You can enable the built-in Administrator account during unattended installations by setting the AutoLogon setting to Administrator in the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup component. This will enable the
built-in Administrator account, even if a password is not specified in the AdministratorPassword setting. You can try to do not specify a password for built-in Administrator account.
I would suggest you create another account to auto logon, based on my test, I use the answer file for Windows 8, if I use domain account, I can successfully auto log on.

Please help with unattended install

Has anyone got this to work unattended? This is one of the worst installers I've have to deal with. Why can't I just have the customization wizard like with Adobe Reader?
We have a volume license key for this, so I can't just give the key and the installer out to the users to install themselves, as a result, I'm stuck since this just doesn't work per the recommended documentation. I followed the document per Adobe found here: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/openoptions/pdfs/manualenterprisedeployment_cs4_help.pdf <-- Adobe claims that the same doc for Creative Suite can be followed per Captivate
This is what I did, step by step.
1. Extracted the original .exe I got from our Adobe volume license site yielding what would appear to be the same thing as what's on the CD
2. Ran setup.exe --record=1
3. Stepped through the wizard, entering the license key and accepting the EULA.
4. I now have both the "Adobe Captivate 4.install.xml" and "Adobe Captivate 4.remove.xml"
5. I renamed the xml files to install.xml and remove.xml, respectively
6. Copied the xml files into the root folder containing "Setup.exe"
7. Created a "application.xml.override" file containing the following (saved as UTF-8):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="EULA">-1</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>
**From what I can tell, I should now have what I need to do an unattended install**
8. Tried to install using the following command:
"setup.exe" --deploymentFile="install.xml"
**Completely useless. This simply launched the installer and halted at the product key window**
9. Tried to install using the silent tag with this command:
"setup.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile="install.xml"
**Again, completely useless. This bombed out at the command line with "Exit Code: 7" **
According to Adobe, this means "Unable to complete the silent workflow"
Can anyone shed some light on why this isn't working for me?
!!UPDATE!!
I tried adding this line to the override xml file. I tried the key with and without the dashes and neither seemed to make a difference.
<Data key="Serial" protected="0">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</Data>

OK, I finally got to the bottom of this mess....
#1 - When the --record=1 tag "recorded" the installation and created the install.xml file, it added a line which specified the installation media path (which was pointed explicitly to my desktop since that's where I ran setup --record=1 from). I had to remove that line
#2 - It detected that the cpu was 64bit (regardless of the fact that the OS was 32-bit) and appended a line in the install.xml file indicating such. I had to remove that line
#3 - It appears that the installation call is case-sensitive! "Setup.exe" --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="install.xml"
Finally #4 - I wanted this to be "unattended" vs "silent" which apparently can't be done (so I heard). If you want to hide your product key and have the users not be involved with the installation itself, you HAVE to use the silent tag.
Dear Adobe,
Absolutely terrible

Commands to copy apps to local drive from networkshare and installing via unattend install

Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of deploying and testing Windows 8.1 with different settings via unattended answer file. I would like to test out with another settings during unattended install but I'm having a hard time to implement it. Here is the scenario, I've a
server named WDS-DEP-SERV with a hard drive portioned into 2. One is C and other is E. On my E drive, I've a bunch of .exe apps saved. I would like my unattended answer file to pull those .exe apps over to the local drive from network share and install them
as the unattended install takes place. I'm looking for a command that can help me achieve it in a silent mode. During testing before, I was able to have my unattended file to pull VMware tools drivers from network share under RunSynchronousCommand parameter
with domain credentials of the network share and it installed successfully. For example, like this below.
\\WDS-DEP-SERV\E\Distribution\Drivers\setup64.exe /s /v "/qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /l C:\Windows\Temp\vmware_tools_install.log
I was searching online and came across a lot of things but none answered what I'm looking for. Can someone please reply back with the answers on how can I implement it in my unattended file.
1) To be able to have unattended file pulling drivers from network share, copy them over to local drive during unattended installation process and execute them silently. I need a command to pull this off.
2) What pass should I use in unattended file?
3) So far, I've used RunSynchronouscommand under Windows Deployement Neutral during "Specialize" pass to install just VMware tools. Is there a way to execute all apps in one go instead of doing it one at a time via Synchronouscommand? Please
correct me if I'm wrong, Is it true every time you use Synchronouscommands for various different apps or scripts to pull from network share, you'll have to use network credentials under each and every Synchronouscommands section. Like, if I add 4 SyncrhonousCommands
to the unattended file to pull 4 different apps or scripts from network share, I must provide network share credentials for each of those. Can it be just one time network share credentials under those and they all get pulled and executed during unattended
install?
Again, please if someone can get back to help me out. I would really appreciate it. Hope to hear from someone soon. Below is my unattended answer file in case someone would like to see it to understand better.

Adobe Acrobat X Unattended Install not working

I created and Windows bundle to install Acrobat X via a custom msi and I removed the "qn" switch. I used the Acrobat customizer to customize the install, to include unattended install but show progress bar and prompt for reboot. If I run the file on a PC locally it works fine, but the bundle makes the user go through the dialog boxes with all the correct settings already in place. With the /qn it works. I want the users to see the progress. Yes, they're too dumb and/or lazy to use the Zenworks icon to check the progress.

Change /qn to /qb+

Silent install for Captivate 4

Hello,
I have tried to use the KB 325175 and apply the same command
line used in Captivate 3 to the new Captivate 4:
setup.exe /s /v"/qn SERIALNUMBER=\"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"
ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress"
However, I got full user interface and it stopped on the
screen asking me for the serial number. Is there a way to install
Adobe Captivate 4 silently without any user interaction and what
are the new command line switches?
Thank you so much,
Peter

Hey there
No need for apologies.
We just like to keep the threads clean so that
someone with an issue doesn't come looking and nobody is around to
answer the question. They scan a few threads where others asked the
same thing. But if most of the threads were just dangling threads
asking the same question with no answer, they may grow frustrated
and give up before finally finding the magickal thread where a
reply that solved the issue was offered.
Generally, most of the folks here are pretty good at picking
up on a thread even if it's not really in what one may think is a
proper category. Your issue may need to be sent to Adobe for an
answer because Captivate 4 is so new. Maybe it's a bug we are
seeing and it should work as it did in version 3. I dunno. Only
Adobe can answer that.
Perhaps try reporting it as an issue via the wish form?

When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel

When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel..Does anyone know how to resolve?

Hi,
It seems that Captivate is not downloaded completely. Only one file is downloaded(i.e. .exe) , .7z file is missing. You can follow the below instructions to download Captivate 7 via direct links.
In order to download Adobe Captivate 7.0 Windows English, open the link mentioned below and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
Once you sign In with your Adobe Id and password, you will be redirected to Adobe Captivate 7.0 download page, Do not click on download. Kindly stay on that page and paste the below two links on the Trail Page Address Bar one by one and save the files on your system at same location:
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.7z
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.exe
When both the files finish downloading, then run the second file (.exe) which will start extracting the first file (.7z) and will start installing Adobe Captivate 7.0 on your computer.
Regards,
Mayank

New install of Captivate 7 won't open

Fresh Install of Captivate 7 will not Launch

After a new install of Captivate 7 (with no errors) I try to launch the product. A Sign In Required screen shows and before I can do anything an error message shows saying Adobe Captivate has stopped working. I click close the program but the Sign In Required still shows. Wether I try to Sign In or not nothing happens.
I checked the event viewer and see 2 errors for Captivate. 1 says faulting module is AdobePSL.dll and the other says MSCVR100.dll
Any ideas?
I did try the copy all the fonts and then delete them and try launching CP7.
Also I have a 64 bit version of Windows7 and have installed the 64 bit version of Captivate 7.
Thanks!

Creating an unattended install of 10.6?

Hello all!
I'd like to create a DVD or USB stick with a version of the Mac OS 10.6 installer that will perform the installation of the os and, possibly, go through the setup steps in the setup assistant using pre-defined data for the various options. I haven't found anything online describing how to create a Mac OS X unattended install, but I'm assuming it must be possible somehow. So, please, could anyone tell me how it's done or refer me to a place where I can find more about it?
Thanks!
Robin

Servus!
I don’t think that this is possible or done easily, but I would suggest to simply install it once by hand the way you need it. Afterwards you can clone it and restore the image on as many Macs as you like. Just keep in mind to not use a static IP or you’ll get problems.
The best way to accomplish this is by using CCC: http://www.bombich.com/

Unattended install of a .air applications - how to

I have a Adobe Air application ( .air) that I need to install across multiple machines.
Is there anyway to do a unattended install?
This would be on Mac OS Based computers and I have access to Apple Remote Desktop so I can copy and start the installer application on each machine, but right now it stops at the security screen like the one shown below and I have to visit each computer to complete.
Thank you
Mark

Unattended install or Oracle9iR2 using responseFile on RHEL3

Hi,
I am following this document to do the Oracle9iR2 install on RHEL3: http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
The Manual installation went fine for me. But my requirement is to do an Unattended install so that I can write a script and deploy to the do further installations on machines.
1) Following the same document, I create:
--- Oracle users ---
groupadd dba # group of users to be granted with SYSDBA system privilege
groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle
--- Oracle directories ---
mkdir -p /opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
chown -R oracle.oinstall /opt/app/oracle
mkdir /var/opt/oracle
chown oracle.dba /var/opt/oracle
chmod 755 /var/opt/oracle
2) The Following are choices which I make in manual install ( and I need the same in responseFile also)
/mnt/cdrom/runInstaller
- Welcome Screen: Click Next
- Inventory Location: Click Next
- Unix Group Name: Use "oinstall" and click Next
When asked to run /tmp/orainstRoot.sh, run it before you click Continue
- File Locations: Use default values
- Available Products: Select "Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0"
- Installation Types: Select Custom since we only want to install the software for now
- Available Products: Click Next or add some more components.
- Components Locations: Accept default values and click Next
- Privileged Operating System Groups:
I used the default values: OSDBA Group = dba, OSOPER Group = dba
- Oracle Managent Server Repository:
I used the default choice
- Create database: Select NO since we first have to patch Oracle before a database can be created!
- Summary: Start the Install
- Configuration tools: Tools won't come up. Simply ignore it.
- At the end of the installation, exit runInstaller.
I copied custom.rsp into the home directory and modified the following:
UNIX_GROUP_NAME= oinstall
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/app/oracle/
ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OUIHome
and left the other entries in the response file (custom.rsp) as such.
When I do an unattended install using responseFile, the screen does not proceed.
The Universal Installer comes up and there is no progress!. ( Next is not pressed in the unattended fashion).
Can someone share with me a working copy of a responsefile which does an unattended custom install? I assume what is the response directory should be working one, but I am unable to figure out where I have gone wrong.
Where do I give OSDBAGroup = dba values? and how do I make it to go from one screen to next?
Thanks in advance.
Senthil

But my requirement is to do an Unattended install so that I can write a script and deploy to the do further installations on machines.Why write? You can record your own responfile (during manual install) and use it for future installs.
./runInstaller -record -destinationFile /tmp/myinstall.rsp

HIS 2013 HISServerConfig.xml example location and unattended install question

Hello,
I've never used the unattended part of the installer but wanted to give it a try. The installation guide refers to an example in the support\unattended_installs folder. I don't see that folder or file on the media I down loaded.
The guild also instructs to "save" the configuration during setup to create my own xml. I didn't see a "save" but tried using an export during my test unattended install but that didn't work. I would appreciate any help/information.
Thanks, Jim.

Hi Jim,
you are right. Unlike stated in the Installation guide this folder doesn't exist.
Anyway, here it goes:
When you install HIS the latest Setup/configuration screen will provide a link to create a XML file. Anyway, exporting the XML file out of the configuration utility will create the reference XML of your current installation and configuration.
You may modify the XML file according to the required settings of your new Server by changing the subdomain name, role, etc....
Also please note that we do not store the password in the XML file for security reasons, so you need to add this manually.
Once done, please run a similar command according to you settings as below:
Setup.exe /InstallPlatform /L c:\HISInstall.log /S c:\HISServerConfig.xml /INSTALLDIR C:\HIS Configuration.exe /L c:\ConfigFramework.Log /S c:\HISServerConfig.xml
Options
The following table describes the command options.
/InstallPlatform
This flag causes the installation program to install any platform prerequisites.
/L c:\HISInstall.log
This flag determines the log file location that is created during setup.
/S C:\HISServerConfig.xml
This flag specifies the configuration file (list of features) that is used on installation. The file "HISServerConfig.xml" contains information about which features to install and how they should be configured. Sample copies of these files are located
in the Support\Unattended_Installs directory of the installation folder. This file can also be created during setup by clicking Save in the summary panel of the Configuration Tool.
/INSTALLDIR
This option tells Setup where to install the product.
The Setup.exe installs all required binaries according to you reference installation while the configuration.exe configures you HIS Server the same as the reference configuration.
Hope that helps
