majestix Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) This error is raised during the Windows Media Format 9.5 installation. To solve this error you have to modify the custom action defined within the "common.msi" "CustomAction" table.Adobe has already added the command line params for a quit admin install (/Q:A) but forget the "/DisallowSystemRestore" switch. Add the "/DisallowSystemRestore" parameter to the custom action (beginning with "WMF95"). When using Microsoft's Orca (Windows Installer SDK) the command line parameters are shown in the "TARGET" column.So it's working even via gpo software distribution .... (don't forget your serial within your Abcpy.ini) Edited January 20, 2006 by majestix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blinkdt Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 OK, so if I have this straight:1). Grab a copy of MageJubi's abcpy.ini file and edit to include your serial, then rename setup.ini to render it useless and drop the abcpy.ini in the same directory to get the job done.2). Follow advice provided by majestix and edit the common.msi file to include the /DisallowSystemRestore switch.3). Merge the relevant Bilou Gateux registry tweak found HERE to prevent post-install nags.Here's my AutoIt script, run from the Adobe_Photoshop_Elements directory, note the renamed .msi:SplashTextOn ("", "" & @CRLF & "Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0..." & @CRLF & "" & @CRLF & "Please wait..." & @CRLF & "", 320, 90, -1, -1, 1, "Arial", 12, 12)RunWait ('msiexec /i "' & @ScriptDir & '\APE4.msi" /qn')Sleep (500)Run ( @ScriptDir & "\install.cmd", "", @SW_HIDE)Sleep (1500)SplashOff ()ExitThe batch (thanks Bilou G.):@echo off:: avoid users being prompted to look for updatesreg add "HKLM\Software\Adobe\Updater" /v Entreprise /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f:: disable the Adobe Photo Downloaderreg add "HKLM\Software\Adobe\Photoshop elements\4.0\Adobe Photo Downloader\Preferences" /v AutoLaunchOnDeviceConnect /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f:: registration donereg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B-9FDC-954C10F266B0}" /v "EPIC_REGS_TYPE" /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /freg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B-9FDC-954C10F266B0}" /v "EPIC_REGS_STATE" /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /freg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B-9FDC-954C10F266B0}" /v "EPIC_REGS_LANG" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /freg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B-9FDC-954C10F266B0}" /v "EPIC_REGS_COUNT" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /tclsexitIt works.
