Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 Silent Install

Dear support,

I try to deploy ADE 4.5 silently with the following command but a window popup comes up and ask me if I want to include Norton Security: ADE_4.5_Installer.exe /s

I red on this post a solution that seems not working anymore:

Re: Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3 mass install...

It says to add some reg keys before running the install silently.

In my case, I still get the popup window so I can't use this method to mass deploy this update.

Do you have another switch command or reg keys to avoid this behaviour please?

Thank you in advance,

    Disable Norton Security prompt

    The installer searches for certain antivirus products, and if a qualifying product is not found it prompts to install Norton Security. To suppress this prompt, add the following registry key before the installer is executed:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00  
    ; 32-bit OS [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\N360] 
    

    ; 64-bit OS [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\N360]

    Note: The nis and nss registry values mentioned in other tips are not required.

    Works for me.

    The only method I have found to deploy using MEMCM/SCCM is to repackage this installer using an MSI package builder. I use a product called EMCO but I'm sure other repackagers would work as well. I simply monitor the install, run through the install process and decline Norton. Then, package the delta into an MSI and deploy as you would any MSI.

      The easiest way is to just add -PassThru (if you are using Powershell script)

      Eg:

      Execute-Process -Path "$dirFiles\ADE_4.5_Installer.exe" -Parameters '/S' -WindowStyle 'Hidden' -PassThru

      Set-RegistryKey -Key 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\N360' -Name 'N360' -Value ''-Type String -ContinueOnError:$True


      Execute-Process -Path "$dirFiles\ADE_4.5_Installer.exe" -Parameters '/S' -WindowStyle 'Hidden' -PassThru

        I found /s NSS=0 actually works.

          For me /s NSS=0 not work and no other solution work.

          I need a solution please because I have about 80 computer.

          Wath program do you use to deploy Adobe Digital Solution using /s NSS=0 switch?

          I ended up writing a script to set that reg key and then installing the app with just /s (nss= doesn't seem to do anything), and that worked. I'm managing about 6200 clients?

          I'm using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (on 2012 R2 SP1 CU1 with a bunch of hotfixes).

          Hi Josué,

          I Added NSS=2 to the commandline

          "ADE_4.5_Installer.exe /s NSS=2"  and it will install without Norton Security Scan

          Thanks to IT Pro Tips for Adobe Digital Editions 4 | ITNinja for giving me the registry hint.

          Kind regards,

          Ivo

            Hi IvoD,

            Thank you for your solution. Unfortunately, on my side, I still get the Norton window popup even with the NSS=2 parameter.
