a06lp Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 I don't use v7 anymore, but it should be the same. They're all using installshield. I just used the standard method for all installshield installers (-r then -s, optionnal -f1 and -f2 ...) and it's working perfectly.i just tried this method (using the setup.iss, and the -s switch), and it still moves on to the next item without waiting for photoshop to finish installing.i think the problem lies somewhere in the fact that my photoshop unpacks some files for the install before actually installing, so when the unpacking finishes, RunOnceEx moves on, even though the installation is just starting... ???

CoffeeFiend Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 That's got to be it. Mine doesn't do unpacking like that, it just installs directly (mind you I don't use RunOnceEx either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiMoNsAyS Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 there is an old post from one of the oldest admins that explains well how to install ps7 and ps CS silently. no need of iss files, just call the installer do a little search or just use sleep.

I tried that method first, when I first made this post.My problem is not that I don't know how to silently install. My problem is that runonceex moves to the next item before photoshop finishes.

a06lp Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 i'm going ot bump this because i still have not heard a *working* solution... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Here is your working solution:Launch the Photoshop installer from one RunOnceEx entry.From the next RunOnceEx entry launch a Command Script that looks to see if the Photoshop Icons have been created. If they have not been created, wait a certain amount of time, and look again. You will need SLEEP.EXE, or similar. Psuedo Code::CHECKIF EXIST SHORTCUT GOTO FOUNDITSLEEP 30GOTO CHECK:FOUNDITEXITNow please don't ask me to write the Command Script for you ...
