bart of borg Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I'm having trouble with Dreamweaver silent install, using WPI, when installing from DVD. I had no trouble when I made my UXPCD using the %systemdrive% format but, using the %cdrom% format , I get nothing. When I mark Dreamweaver for installation, I get a burst of activity from the hard drive and then nothing.....no folders or anything else is installed for dreamweaver.here is my relevent entries - start.cmd :cmdow @ /HID@ECHO OFFfor %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i:echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM%Regedit /S %cdrom%\install\hacked_files.regRegedit /S %cdrom%\install\regtweaks.regstart /wait %cdrom%\software999\WPI\WPI.exeEXITconfig.js:prog[pn]=['Macromedia Dreamweaver MX']uid[pn]=['MACROMEDIADREAMWEAVERMX']desc[pn]=['Web page design']cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\Application\\dreamweaver\\setup.exe -S']cmd2[pn]=['taskill /F /IM iexplore.exe']cat[pn]=['Office']pn++I have the setup.iss in the installation folder.

Dynaletik Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 If you still want to install it like you wanted first, try THIS:You only have to change the command that you start the install with, because dreamweaver tries to create a log file that can't be created on CD, of course.prog[pn]=['Macromedia Dreamweaver MX']uid[pn]=['MACROMEDIADREAMWEAVERMX']desc[pn]=['Web page design']cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\Application\\dreamweaver\\setup.exe -S -f2\"%systemdrive%\\weaver.log"']cmd2[pn]=['taskill /F /IM iexplore.exe']cat[pn]=['Office']pn++Then the log file will be at %systemdrive%\weaver.logBe sure that the folder where the log is creted exists, and think on the \\ in WPI. the code I posted should work.

bart of borg Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Here is my exported registry key - it works great if you import it first and then run the install....Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Dreamweaver\6\Registration]"First Name"="xxx""Last Name"="xxxxxxxxx""Organization"="""Serial Number"="deleted""Validation"="deleted""Register"="1"names and numbers deleted, of course.

bart of borg Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 When you install it to get your setup.iss, go to the registry and export the key "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia " and save it as Dream.reg.....When you open it in note pad you can scroll down and you'll see the section I have above. Copy and paste it, intact, with all the info that is there, into your dreamweaver install folder as a "whatever.reg" file and use regedit /S to import it before you install Dreamweaver and your good to go!
