Adobe Illustrator CS (11) pop ups

Hi,

After taking a long time searching through any posts i could find on getting this to silently install i am still having a bit of a problem...

Everything seems to be running along nicely, there is nothing for me to do with the setup apart from there are 2 pop ups that are still getting through... one that informs me that if i would like to avoid rebooting then i should shut down any adobe products that comes up at the beginning and the second just about at the end where i am told something about downloading quicktime.

Really want rid of these :(

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,

Tried using that method, it works great with my photoshop install but still getting the 2 pop ups with Illustrator, i have noticed that the abcpy.ini file with illustrator has a lot less information in it, is it possible that copying all the information across would do the trick?

I think u are not doing the process correctly.

i dont know what method u are using.

try this one

Repackage this software was a similar experience with Photoshop CS. I only wish Adobe can provide GPO deployable MSI installer in the future.

1. Launch a clean XP image from Microsoft Virtual PC.

2. Launch InsteallShield Repackager from a network share, and follow the standard procedures to capture the software.

3. Go through the captured information and exclude information that you do not want to be part of the package. The entire HKCU can be excluded. Note: I also have to exclude the Adobe Gamma and Adobe Illustrator (found in the program files folder) shortcuts in order to get it to build.

4. Before shutting down the Virtual PC, export following keys to a file and save it to the host machine. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91A4AD99-69CE-4745-97B7-0E0DFBECFDE5}

5. Open Standard.nic from a text editor. Add following registry keys from step 4 to the end of file.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91A4AD99-69CE-4745-97B7-0E0DFBECFDE5}]
"RegCompany"="XXXX"
"RegOwner"="XXXXX"
"Serial"="XXXXX"

6. Open the repackager project file.

7. Compile the MSI file and test it on a clean [virtual] machine. Make sure that both installation and uninstallation work without any problems.

My Way:

abcpy.ini

[MAIN]
Product=Adobe Illustrator 11

[OEM Install]
DisplayWelcomeDlg=NO
DisplayEULA=NO
DisplayTypeOfInstallDlg=NO
DisplaySelectDestDirDlg=NO
DisplayCustomDlg=NO
DisplayUserInfoDlg=NO
DisplayConfirmRegDlg=NO
DisplayStartCopyDlg=NO
DisplayFinishDlg=NO
DisplayFinalMessage=NO
DisplayRebootDlg=NO
DisplayBackGround=NO
ProgGroupName=
DefaultDestDir=
UserName=-
UserCompanyName=-
UserSerialNumber=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
DisplayProgressBar=YES
ProgressBarStart=
ProgressBarEnd=

My Starting Script for AutoIT (http://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit3/

aisetup.au3

;Script to install Adobe Illustrator silently

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 1)
Run("setup.exe", "")
; Suppres Dialog - "To avoid restarting your system after installation..."
If WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS Setup", "To avoid restarting your system", 30)  Then
   WinActivate("Adobe Illustrator CS Setup", "To avoid restarting your system")
   Send('{ENTER}')
EndIf

; Suppres Dialog - "QuickTime 6 is required..."
If WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS Setup", "QuickTime 6 is required ", 90)  Then
   WinActivate("Adobe Illustrator CS Setup", "QuickTime 6 is required ")
   Send('{ENTER}')
EndIf

run this - its all right ;)

used setup.exe /S

and no pop ups

It means that for you:

1. is not disabled System Restore

2. is installed QuickTime

My AutoIT script adequately handles the given situation - it uses IF for check of this pop-up windows...

:)
