Question

double-click in Windows?

Is there any way to create a double-click Windows installer so that the user is not required to put in a serial number or Adobe ID? Using AAMEE, it seems you can only create a "silent" installer. But, since we don't push applications, I don't need that.

Incidentally, the Acrobat customization tools are much more in line with what I would like from Adobe. Too bad they didn't just extend that to the Suite.

    Hi,

    AAMEE 3.1 created packages supports UI based installation also. AAMEE 3.1 can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html . UI based installation is supported only for packages created using AAMEE 3.1 and not AAMEE 3.1 beta or earlier versions. I have written a forum post to explain this in more detail. The link for the post is  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4698390#4698390.

    Please use AAMEE 3.1 and let us know if you see any issues in UI based installation,

    Thanks,

    This is a very useful development. However, it's not working for me. I have uninstalled all Adobe products (except for AAMEE) on a Windows 7 machine. I built an installer using AAMEE 3.1. I can double-click the installer, but it runs for a few seconds and then backs out and quits. I see this fatal error: "Administrative Privileges required to continue," but I am logged in as an administrator. The log file is below.

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Hi,

    Instead of double clicking the msi, please right click on the msi and select run as administrator. or else launch the command prompt with admin privileges, and run the follwing commond.

    msiexec.exe /i <path of msi>

    This will launch the msi in UI mode.

    Thanks,
