Command Line

Watch the second dash before deploymentfile, when copying and pasting this code into a batch file or run script, it ends up running it as a funny looking u character. If the dashes are not in line, just erase them and manually input two dashed lines.

Note

For a silent install of Dreamweaver CS3 first create a file called application.xml.override that contains the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Configuration>

<Payload>

<Data key="Serial" protected="0">111XXXyour S/N no dashes</Data>

<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>

<Data key="EULA">Suppress</Data>

<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>

</Payload>

</Configuration>

Save this file in the \\server\share\payloads\AdobeDreamweaver9en_USVolume directory

This file provides the S/N info and suppresses the EULA, registration, and turns off automatic updates.

To install silently from the command line use the following

"\\server\share\setup.exe" --mode=Silent -–deploymentFile=\\server\share\deployment.xml

Silent Install Method

Run Setup.exe with --record=1 option, run through the quick recorded install, grab the two files it spits out at the end and throw them up on the server. Rename them to install.xml and remove.xml (respectively).

With this done, create the application.xml.override as the PDF explained and put it in the proper location (making sure you have the proper quotation marks!). It should be the value of Driver folder indicated in the payloads/Setup.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="Serial" protected="0">111XXXyour S/N no dashes</Data>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="EULA">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>

Run the silent install again pointing to the full path for "install.xml" and you're all set. For my setup the command line I run is [Setup.exe --mode=Silent --deploymentFile=".\install.xml"] without the brackets.

Silent Uninstall Method

To run a silent uninstall I copy the remove.xml to the %TEMP% directory on the machine and run the following command line ["C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\aef45239e3987fdf2a5e406d559eb22\Setup.exe" --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="%temp%\remove.xml"] without the brackets. Note that i'm running the Setup.exe from the installSourcePath value indicated in the install.xml.

In my case, I use method describe with Photoshop CS3 10.x by sharanshirol !
He is the architect of this Installation method
(Thanks a lot sharanshirol !!!)

YOU CAN USE THIS METHOD FOR ALL CS3 PRODUCT !

Windows Installer does not allow the launch a MSI which launches himself another MSI.
The Adobe CS3 setup launches between 30 and 35 MSI in background by application.
it is not possible to launch MSI which launches the adobe setup because himself launches MSI....

This method thus allows to launch a VBS from a MSI.
This VBS will launch another VBS containing the parameters of Adobe installation and using the adobe setup while the first one MSI will have finished his installation.....
Now the Adobe setup could install the various package MSI.

1 - Generate XML response File with setup.exe and record flag.


2 - I build a simple MSI (Adobe_CS3_Sources) with all sources of CS3 (because it s too much long to install with the network) and 2 Install Condition.


A ) INSTALLDIR : [ProgramFilesFolder]Adobe\Creative_Suite_3\Sources
All the sources will be in that folder (setup.exe, payloads folder etc)
Package Adobe_CS3_Sources will be the pre requites of Dreamweaver.


B ) Install Condition : because all products CS3 need 1 go memory and screen resolution at less 1028 X 768, here are the install conditions :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition :
PhysicalMemory>1000

Message :
It's necessary to have 1 go of memory to run this product. Please upgrade your memory !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition :
ScreenX>=1024 AND ScreenY>=768

Message :
All Adobe Creative Suite 3 products needs at less screen resolution 1024 par 768. Your resolution Screen is [ScreenX] par [ScreenY], Please change the resolution of your screen !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


3 - I build another package with this name : Adobe_Dreamweaver_CS3_9.0 with two components, four files, two Custom Action and one Install Condition

E ) Install Condition

Make a system search on file [ProgramFilesFolder]Adobe\Creative_Suite_3\Sources\setup.exe
Store the value in the property and use the property in install condition

In my case, I use method describe with Photoshop CS3 10.x by sharanshirol (Thanks a lot sharanshirol !!!)


1 - Generate XML response File with setup.exe and record flag.


2 - I build a simple MSI (Adobe_CS3_Sources) with all sources of CS3 because it s too much long to install with the network and 2 Install Conditions.


A ) INSTALLDIR : [ProgramFilesFolder]Adobe\Creative_Suite_3\Sources
All the sources will be in that folder (setup.exe, payloads folder etc)
Package Adobe_CS3_Sources will be the pre requites of Dreamweaver.


B ) Install Condition : because all products CS3 need 1 go memory and screen resolution at less 1028 X 768, here are the install conditions :
Condition :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition :
PhysicalMemory>1000

Message :
It's necessary to have 1 go of memory to run this product. Please upgrade your memory !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition :
ScreenX>=1024 AND ScreenY>=768

Message :

Note
Information posted here is complete and really useful. However, i would like to add up something to it.

Standard Properties can be passed to the setup (startmenufolder,Reboot etc) using deployment.xml/install.xml whatever be your case. In source Install_Adobe_Dreamweaver_CS3_9.0.xml was also present.

To disable updates we can set policies as well in the following registry hive
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Updater\Enterprise", 1, "REG_DWORD".

The above mentioned processes of creating override file disables updates in all the other shortcuts except in "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit". Setting the above key resolves the update issue.

if your requirement is to prevent a particular component from installation this can also be achived thru a XML file called AdobeDreamweaver9de_DE.proxy.xml.

Find the AdobeDreamweaver9de_DE.proxy.xml file in your payload folder and find the word "required" in the XML. under this you can find the list of applications being installed by ur setup. Remove the application name from the XML.

This is how you can disallow any extra component from installing.

Hope this helps!!!

Note
For Dreamweaver CS3 9.0 I used the following...

Full Command Line: "\\server\share\Setup.exe" --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="\\server\share\deployment.xml"

Did the below steps:

--> Navigate to \\server\share where your setup.exe is
--> Navigate to \\server\share\payloads\AdobeDreamweaver9en_USVolume
--> Create an application.xml file with thew content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="Serial" protected="0">your serial number no hifens</Data>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="EULA">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>

--> Save this and then rename it to application.xml.override

In KBOX Distribution tab, I used the below:

tick 'Software without an associated file'
Installation command: Configure Manually
tick 'Run command only'
tick 'Dont prepend msiexec.exe'
tick 'Delete downloaded files'
