hello there... i wanted to install After Effects too... after a lot of try and fail.... i finaly found a way... (this might work for all adobe programms... i only tested it on After Effects 7 so far...) well first open your "ABCPY.INI" and put in your stuff like name, serial and install dir.... my file looks like this (the important part) ;*************************************************************** ;OEM Installation Options ;*************************************************************** [OEM Install] SERIALNUMBER=XXXX-XXxX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX USERNAME=name COMPANYNAME= INSTALLDIR=C:\Programme\Appz\Adobe\After Effects 7 Pro now that we are done with that we open "ADBSETUP.CFG" here... if your file has only one line... try to sort it out so it looks like a normal script file.... then set anything your find to silent... means... set the "<Redist silent="0">" to "<Redist silent="1">" and the "<Installer log="1" silent="0" aumSupport="1" order="2">" to "<Installer log="1" silent="1" aumSupport="1" order="2">" after that your installation will be silent... well the only problem i have is that the language select is still shown... once i set it not to show then the setup wont start... (i'm still looking fir a way to get to work fully silent) hope this helps a bit for those wanted to istall adobe stuff... PS: oh yeah... here is my "ADBSETUP.CFG" if you copy and past it should work for you too... (since it doesnt contain stuff that is user/computer spezific...) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <Bootstrapper NS0:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\InstallerDev\InstallerDev\Sandboxes\mweagle\SetupLauncher\Schema\BootstrapperSchema.xsd" xmlns:NS0="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <PreConditions> <MSI> <MinimumVersion>3.0</MinimumVersion> <SuppressReboot>1</SuppressReboot> <Redist silent="1"> <MinOSMajorVersion>5</MinOSMajorVersion> <MinOSMinorVersion>0</MinOSMinorVersion> <MinOSServicePackMajor>3</MinOSServicePackMajor> <MinOSServicePackMinor>0</MinOSServicePackMinor> <Location> <Type>0</Type> <Data>instmsi30.exe</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Location> <Args>/quiet /norestart</Args> </Redist> </MSI> </PreConditions> <UserInterface> <PayloadName lang="1033" default="1">Adobe After Effects 7.0</PayloadName> <ShowLanguageSelect>1</ShowLanguageSelect> <SupportedLanguages> <Language>1033</Language> </SupportedLanguages> </UserInterface> <Payload> <Patch uiLevel="35" order="1"> <Location> <Type>0</Type> <Data>Bridge101Patch.msp</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Location> </Patch> <Installer log="1" silent="1" aumSupport="1" order="2"> <Name lang="1033" default="1">Adobe After Effects 7.0</Name> <Location> <Type>0</Type> <Data>Adobe After Effects 7.0.msi</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Location> <Patch> <Type>0</Type> <Data>AfterEffects.msp</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Patch> <Property name="BOOTSTRAPPER">1</Property> <Transform langSpecific="1"> <Location> <Type>0</Type> <Data>1031.mst</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Location> <SupportedLang lang="1031"></SupportedLang> </Transform> <Transform langSpecific="1"> <Location> <Type>0</Type> <Data>1033.mst</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Location> <SupportedLang lang="1033"></SupportedLang> </Transform> <Transform langSpecific="1"> <Location> <Type>0</Type> <Data>1034.mst</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Location> <SupportedLang lang="1034"></SupportedLang> </Transform> <Transform langSpecific="1"> <Location> <Type>0</Type> <Data>1036.mst</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Location> <SupportedLang lang="1036"></SupportedLang> </Transform> <Transform langSpecific="1"> <Location> <Type>0</Type> <Data>1040.mst</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Location> <SupportedLang lang="1040"></SupportedLang> </Transform> <Transform langSpecific="1"> <Location> <Type>0</Type> <Data>1041.mst</Data> <Compression>0</Compression> </Location> <SupportedLang lang="1041"></SupportedLang> </Transform> <Property name="BOOTSTRAPPER">1</Property> </Installer> </Payload> </Bootstrapper>
