Here is How to SILENTLY install/uninstall adobe elements 2020/2022/2023 .exe
Hey Everyone,
try this to silently INSTALL and UNINSTALL. (NOTE: Pretty sure this works with 2020/2022/2023)
To install:
- .\PhotoshopElements_2022.exe --silent=1 --lang=en_US (whatever you want)
OR
- .\PremiereElements_2022.exe --silent=1 --lang=en_US (whatever you want)
To uninstall
- Go to either: HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall OR HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
- Find your Elements Package and Locate the Uninstall String it should show something like this. (Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022)
UninstallString : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\HDBox\Uninstaller.exe" --uninstall=1 --sapCode=PSE --productVersion=20.4 --productPlatform=win64 --productAdobeCode={PSE-20.4-64-ADBEADBEADBEADBEADBEADBE} --isNonCCProduct=true --productName="Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022" --mode=4
- Instead of using the Uninstaller.exe which doesn't accept certain switches do this: (SWAP out the codexVersion productPlatform & sapCode & deleteUserPreferences) Remember PSE = Photoshop Elements / PRE = Premiere Elements
Photoshop Elements 2022
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\HDBox\Set-up.exe" --silent=1 --uninstall=1 --sapCode=PSE --codexVersion=20.4 --productPlatform=win64 --deleteUserPreferences=true
Premiere Elements 2022
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\HDBox\Set-up.exe" --silent=1 --uninstall=1 --sapCode=PSE --codexVersion=20.4 --productPlatform=win64 --deleteUserPreferences=true
Have a great day

Oh Boy that Software gave me headache.
And I also run into the issue of "where does the serial number go during the installation"
@ Jasondxe you mentioned a tool, can you share more infos about it?
Sorry for the delay with this :)
Caution that the content may require careful review,as it contains extensive details related to Adobe product deployment via SCCMSoftware Center, Intune, or the Company Portal.
Adobe Provisioning Toolkit:
Please ensure to download the Adobe ProvisioningToolkit and place the executable file in the same root directory as the AdobeElements executable.
To generate the license file (PROV.xml), execute thefollowing command in CMD:
cmd Copy code
| adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=SerialNumber --regsuppress=ss --eulasuppress --locales=All |
Save the PROV.xml file to the installation folderroot. The following batch script can be used for silent installation andlicensing:
batch Copy code
| .\PhotoshopElements_2022_LS30_win64.exe --silent=1 > .\PSE2022LOG.txt timeout 10 taskkill /F /IM "Adobe Premiere Elements 2021.exe" timeout 60 .\adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile="prov.xml" --stream > .\PSE2022LOG2.txt |
For uninstallation,
to Uninstall:
Annoyingly you need to do a test install on yourmachine to get this bit...
Once installed...
look here:
| HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall |
OR
| HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall |
find the uninstall sting: make a note of the
| "sapCode=PSE" |
and the
| ProductVer=19.3" |
Use the cmd below swapping out the SAP Code for SAPCode and the Product Version in place for the CodexVersion. Please refer to thefollowing command:
cmd Copy code
| "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\HDBox\Set-up.exe" --silent=1 --uninstall=1 --sapCode=PSE --codexVersion=19.3 --productPlatform=win64 --deleteUserPreferences=true |
And use the following batch script:
batch Copy code
The mentioned PowerShell script for removingnotifications is included below:
PowerShell Copy code
| $username = ((query user) -split "\n" -replace '\s\s+', ';' | convertfrom-csv -Delimiter ';').Username -replace (">","") -replace (" ","") Remove-Item "C:\Users\$username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Elements Creations Notification 2020.lnk" -recurse Remove-Item "C:\Users\$username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Elements Creations Notification 2021.lnk" -recurse Remove-Item "C:\Users\$username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Elements Creations Notification 2022.lnk" -recurse Remove-Item "C:\Users\$username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Elements Creations Notification 2023.lnk" -recurse Remove-Item "C:\Users\$username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Elements Creations Notification 2024.lnk" -recurse |
