  1. I am trying to do a silent install of Acrobat pro 10 that came with my cs 5.5 suite. if i do a silent install of acrobat with no serial number it works fine.the problem is the minute i try to put in the serial number on the command line of the msi the installer bombs. I have even tried the customization tool from Adobe which resulted in the same issue. If I manually install acrobat and paste the serial number in when required acrobat installs ok so i know the serial is good. I tried the ISX_SERIALNUMBER property and the installer bombed. I then tried the customization tool and entered the serial number in there and created a new transform and tried that. It wasn't happy either. I guess my last course of action is it the abcpy.ini. The acrobat files are in a folder called exceptions after I installed the cs 5.5 suite, I am aware that you must install acrobat AFTER the cs 5.5 has been installed, I do not see a file called abcpy.ini, where is it suppose to be located any help would be appreciated.
  2. Thanks Cluberti, Much appreciated as always. I ran into a problem today, which I did a lot of reading on technet to try to solve, even posted a question, but I don't quite understand the response yet, Trying to move a computer to a new collection. It seems to be rather difficult.
  3. Thanks cluberti. I am running the trial of SCCM 2007 sp2. Is sp2 the same as R2? Or is r2 another download?
  4. I recently installed SCCM 2007 along with MDT 2010. I am looking for the PXEFILTER setting in MDT 2010, I can't seem to find it. In MDT 2008 it was in the program menu of MDT. Can anyone give me a hand?
  5. I figured it out. I had to try a bunch of chipset drivers from Dell until I found the right one.
  6. Hi I just installed windows 7 x64 enterprise on this laptop. I know have 2 devices that did not install. 1.SM Bus controller. 2. Unknown device. I tried every driver on the Dell site listed for my model of laptop. Would someone give me a hand to figure this out?
  7. I am trying to compress my CS4 unattended install, using 7-zip. Is there an SFX size limit for 7-zip when using a SFX? when I try to execute the extraction I am given the error "not a valid win32 application". The sfx is about 6.83 gigs.
  8. Hi I have recently succeeded in doing an unattended install of Adobe CS4 suite with updates. I have noticed that everything works fine including the updates, but occasionally Photoshop doesn't install it's really strange. I create the install. file by doing setup --record=1 , I ensured that everything is selected (including Photoshop), yet occasionally Photoshop doesn't install but everything else does. Here is the script I am using to install the CS4 suite (including the updates) cd /d %~dp0 echo Adobe CS4 - installation > CS4Install-report.txt echo - start install at: >> CS4Install-report.txt time /t >> CS4Install-report.txt start /wait Setup --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium.install.xml" echo - end install and start update time at: >> CS4Install-report.txt time /t >> CS4Install-report.txt start /wait "update AcrobatPro9.10" msiexec /p "Updates\acrobat9pro-EFG\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp" /qn start /wait "update AcrobatPro9.12" msiexec /p "Updates\acrobat9pro-EFG\AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp" /qn start /wait "update AcrobatPro9.20" msiexec /p "Updates\acrobat9pro-EFG\AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp" /qn start /wait "update Fireworks" "Updates\Fireworks-10.0.3-AdobeUpdate\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update Photoshop" "Updates\Photoshop_11.0.2_mul_AdobeUpdate\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update AdobeDrive" "Updates\AdobeDrive_1.0.1_AdobeUpdate_2\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update AdobeExtensionManager" "Updates\AdobeExtensionManager-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate2\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update AdobeCameraRaw" "Updates\AdobeCameraRaw-5.7-mul-AdobeUpdate\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update AdobeOutputModule" "Updates\AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate_2\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update AdobeVersionCue4All" "Updates\AdobeVersionCue4All_4.0.1_AdobeUpdate_2\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update AME" "Updates\AME_All_CS4.2_mul_AdobeUpdate\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update DeviceCentral" "Updates\DeviceCentral_2.1.1_mul_AdobeUpdate\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update Flash" "Updates\Flash-10.0.2-AdobeUpdate\Setup" --mode=silent start /wait "update Soundbooth" "Updates\Soundbooth-2.0.1-786\Setup" --mode=silent echo - end time at: >> CS4Install-report.txt time /t >> CS4Install-report.txt here is the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium.install.xml file Attached is the install.xml install.xml
  9. Thanks man all found, everything working great now!
  10. Thanks! I will give this a try tomorrow morning.
  11. Hi I recently deployed a Windows 7 x64 sysprepped image to a machine with a Intel DQ965gf motherboard. Windows 7 found all the drivers except the following. I have tried the chipset drivers from intel for this motherboard to no avail. Can someone please help me track down what drivers windows 7 is looking for so I can put it in my image. -PCI serial port PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2997&SUBSYS_4F438086&REV_02 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2997&SUBSYS_4F438086 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2997&CC_070002 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2997&CC_0700 -PCI simple communications controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2994&SUBSYS_4F438086&REV_02 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2994&SUBSYS_4F438086 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2994&CC_078000 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2994&CC_0780
  12. Hi I am learning AD,I have installed active directory/first domain controller on a Windows 2008 server R2. I am able to login to the domain just fine. My next goal was to try and setup a home holder for a user and only make that folder accessible to that authenticated user with read and write rights. What I did was create a folder on my server called home and then in the Active directory administrative manager I used the connect to option under profile and did the following \\w2k8\home\JJones When I login as JJones the drive doesn't map. Lastly this is a test server in a test environment as I am trying to learn AD.
  13. Anyone, out there that can offer some assistance.
  14. I did an Administrative Install Point for Adobe After effects CS3, by running the following command on each of the msi located in the payload folder point them to the z:\aip folder for example msiexec /a "c:\Adobe After Effects CS3\After effects\Adobe CS 3\Payloads\AdobeAftereffects8All\AdobeAftereffects8All.msi" Targetdir=z:\Aip msiexec /a "c:\Adobe After Effects CS3\After Effects\Adobe CS3\payloads\AdobeAfterEffects8PresetsAll\AdobeAfterEffects8PresetsAll.msi" TargetDir=z:\aip and so on for all the msi's in the payloads folder the contents of the aip directory after the setup has been run is roughly 1.5 gig How do I patch the AIP with all the updates Adobe After effects needs once it has been deployed? Any assistance would greatly be appreciated as I am desperately trying my best to learn the ways of deployment. Am I doing this the right way?. I need to be able to patch my Adobe after effects before deployment.
  15. Hi Maybe someone can help me. I have install Adobe After effects CS3 on 30 pc's. I have gotten the silent install working just fine by using the following command to record the setup and generate an install.xml file Setup --record=1 the unattended installation works just fine, but does anyone know how I can include the updates needed for the packages as well. I been doing a lot of reading and it seems I need something called an Adobe customization tool, I went on the Adobe site and can't seem to find it. Lastly I read that to include the updates I would have to create an AIP (Administrative Install point), is this possible with Adobe After Effects cs3? Any help would be great.
  16. Hi I have to install some software via login script that will be running from a network share, is there a way to have the UAC interrupt the installation?. I have tried the elevate.vbs utility and the uac still pops up. We are on a Novell Network so it is quite difficult to use a group policy. Can someone offer me some other suggestions in order to get around this issue?
  17. Thank you for the response, do you know a way to put the second disk offline for diskpart?
  18. 1.I am asking this question out of curiosity. I have a computer with 2 physical hard drives. The first hard drive has Windows 7 x64 professional on it. The 2nd hard drive has personal data and a number of partitions on it, and the 2nd hard drive is disabled in the BIOS. My question is why is windows 7 still seeing the 2nd hard drive if I have disabled it in the BIOS?. Does Windows 7 override the BIOS? I have to know the answer to this one, as it is rather annoying. 2. Is it possible to put a disk offline using diskpart?
  19. so if I delete the 100 meg system reserve partition and then run the command you suggest the OS should boot?
  20. So there is no way to remove this partition?
  21. After I have built my reference image that I am going to use deployment. Is there a safe way to remove it, so I do not destroy my build? Thanks for any advice offered,
  22. If I do not sysprep the reference image before I make the wim file and inject the drivers offline, after the restore using imagex I get a error of 0xc000000e. Any thoughts as to why?. This is if I DO NOT sysprep the image before creating the wim file.
  23. I have setup my reference image, the way I want it with software and the configurations I need. the image was built in a virtual. I then created an image via imagex. The next step I did was inject the drivers via dism into the wim file, these drivers are all the drivers currently in use in our environment, all the different makes and models we have. So your saying I do not need to run sysprep before I make the wim image and inject the drivers offline via dism?
  24. I have created a reference image of a Windows 7 image I made with all the settings and software I need for my environment. It is in wim format, this wim is essentially going to go on different types of hardware, I have injected the all the drivers that will be needed for the different types of hardware it will be deployed on to. Would I still have to run sysprep on this image, before making the wim file and injecting the drivers offline via dism?. Also the reference image was built on a Virtual Machine. Thanks for any advice you can pass my way.
  25. Tried it the driver injection, still didn't boot.
