Scripting

Create a .bat file for installation and run that. The server path creates a problem while running.

use below in bat file and place it next to setup.exe

%~dp0setup.exe /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111 COUNTRY=244"

Looks like usin xcopy to bring the installation directory down to the machine first before running the install command works just fine.  Is this the only way to accomplish this or am I just missing something when trying to use the UNC path?

I don't know why you're using the START command, as this is usually unnecessary. However, your syntax is wrong:

Start /wait "\\Server\PhotoshopElements10\Setup.exe" /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111 COUNTRY=244"

The first parameter wrapped in quotes on the START command line is assumed to be the desired window title. You are specifying "\\Server\PhotoshopElements10\Setup.exe" as the window title when really you want it to be the command to execute. Specify a window title first and then it should be fine. If you don't want to specify a window title, you can specify a null value. For example:

START /W "" "\\Server\PhotoshopElements10\Setup.exe" /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111 COUNTRY=244"

Anyway, to configure the software the way you want, you should try Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition, which is a tool for rebundling Adobe products for enterprise deployment. In there, you can specify EULA suppression, SERIAL #, default language, etc.

Edit: Sorry for the lousy formatting. This website is not user friendly.

I would honestly install this as a managed install rather than a script.

That said, make sure you are running it as an appropriate user.  I haven't had issues with UNC paths, but you have to be able to access the UNC path with the user the KACE is running under.  You may also want to make sure you don't need a space between /V and "SERIALNUMBER= rather than it just being a typo in your post.

We have Photoshop Elements 8.0 and once we had created the application.xml.override file, we deploy it out with a slightly modified msi through Group Policy. Not sure if the MSI is still available in version 10 but I would presume it is. Would that be an option for you?

Josh, Good eye on the syntax.  What I think the start command should  do is allow you to use this local command to call the exe from the servers. At least that's the way it worked with the msi's

%systemroot%/SysWow64/START /W "" "\\Server\PhotoshopElements10\Setup.exe" /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111 COUNTRY=244"

The  msi 's built by Adobe's application installers create msi's can be run in this same fashion.

I tried running this command a domain admin, and still am not feeling any love. 

The event log says something about software protection service

Just save the command line as a batch file inside the Kace applicaiton and you have  script that will run silently.

This bat file will run from the server, but not when run a script in Kace.  Suggestions?
