Struggling to script automated setup of CS6

Good Day

 

I am in an environment that uses SCCM to deploy software. I need to automate the installation of InDesign CS6, but I am not getting pass the trial version screen. I need to install the software as trial version, once the user logs onto the machine they will register.

 

Also I need to skip all user interaction. I am using the Deployment install.xml file and it partially works.

see below.

 

can someone please assist or please give all the set-up.exe switches for automation.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Deployment>
<Properties>
<!-- Set this to reflect desired install location. -->
<Property name="INSTALLDIR">C:\Program Files\Adobe</Property>
<Property name="EULA">-1</Property>
<!-- Set this to reflect desired install language. -->
<!-- Available languages: -->
<!-- en_GB -->
<!-- en_US -->
<!-- ja_JP -->
<Property name="installLanguage">en_US</Property>

<!-- To serialize the application during installation, uncomment this -->
<!-- property and replace the placeholder with your serial number. -->
<!-- <Property name="serialNumber">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</Property> -->
</Properties>

<Payloads>
<!-- AdobeInDesign8AppBase-mul -->
<Payload adobeCode="{CFB770D7-8D43-1014-922B-CC2715FADE3F}">
<Action>install</Action>
</Payload>
<Data key="Trial">True</Data>
<Data key="EULA">-1</Data>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payloads>
</Deployment>

Hey guys, I kind of sorted it out. AAMEE did not help me. I had to use MSIX packaging tool from Microsoft to capture the system changes and now I can apply this "image" packaged software on any Windows 10 machine/

 

maybe this helps other people. I know it's a legacy issue, but we have departments in my company that uses old versions of software

Moving to the Enterprise forum where there MAY be someone who remembers how to package that old program

CS6 is EOL. This probably means all the info on how to deploy it - which would once have documented all the switches etc  - has been removed.
