Software Deployment

Hi,

You can create a wrapper for the given seup.exe instead of creating mst's.
Call the setup.exe like below.

\setup.exe /InstallDir="C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker9\" /SerialNumber="give serial number" /CompanyName="given company name" /AdminInstall="false" /Interface_Lang="given interface launguage(ex:US)" /Air="false" /Silent="true" /Language="en_us" /Retain_Preferences="false"

Try with this, it will help u in installing the app.

Thanks for the respose .but in this case how can i disable the updats in the application

When i install with the above command line it is not installing the below apps.
AdobeAIR
PDF Adobe PDF addon 9

My exact requirement is, need to install the Framemaker_wwdfgj.exe silently with providing the serial key.

Thanks
sreedhar.

find the msi, edit it, you'll see all the features. install only the ones you want.

why not use the xml unattend install.......i think you need a install.xml and override.xml file...

I can use the above mentioned comand line to install the framemaker setup but the problem is not installing the "AdobeAIR
PDF Adobe PDF addon 9
Adobe Help Viewer. " apps.
My question is, is there a way to make a single package which wil install 12 apps as a bunch.

thanks

Not unless you build your own EXE in, say, WiseScript [shudder], or in a script which you could also convert into an EXE.

Having said that, I suspect you're in a corporate environment, in which case, why not simply let your deployment mechanism deal with it? Most can build dependency "trees", i.e. where Product B doesn't get installed unless Product A is also installed.

Hi All.

Thanks for your promt replies..

I have finished the framemaker 9 package successfully and here i would like to share my experience with the package..

1. To Install the AIR and Adobe Help Viewer, I have used the same comand line with small modification and able to install these two apps as well.

[font="courier new"]Setup.exe /InstallDir="C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker 9\" /SerialNumber="1234-5678-9012-3456" /CompanyName="The Name Of Your Setup.exe /InstallDir="C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker 9\" /SerialNumber="1234-5678-9012-3456" /CompanyName="The Name Of Your Company" /AdminInstall="false" /Interface_Lang="US" /Air="false" /Silent="true" /Language="en_us" /Retain_Preferences="false"Company" /AdminInstall="false" /Interface_Lang="US" /Air="TRUE" /Silent="true" /Language="en_us" /Retain_Preferences="false"

2. Have seperately install the PDF addon package..

3. Suppressing registration promt while launching the shortcut and auto update option for application:

a. Autoupdate suppress: Renamed the file "adobe_updater.exe" in package to suppress the updates.
b. Registration promt suppress: After hitting the option "dont ask again" in registation window, took the file "com.adobe.30.ALL.registration" from APPDATA and write a wise script to copy the file in the APPDATA folder after installation. And also added active setup key to perform the same task for other user login.

The application is working fine as desired..:D

Hope this will help.
