Hello,

How can I initiate a silent installation?

I tried this string:

Set-up.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile="c:\Users\Username\Desktop\Adobe FrameMaker 12\deploy\Install_en_US.xml" --action=install

This seems to be working (without getting any Shortcuts)....but I am not sure if this will really use the deploymentfile...

Afterwards I tried to remove the software (also silent), but no chance:

All Strings I tried failed eg:

Set-up.exe --mode=silent --deployment="c:\Users\Username\Desktop\Adobe FrameMaker 12\deploy\Remove_en_US.xml" --action=uninstall

Are there somebody who can help me with this issue ?

Already now: Thanks for reading and thinking about this!

KH

Check the return codes from setup.exe, and the error logs.

Or try using the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition, as recommended in a note on the first of the above links:

NOTE: Adobe recommends using the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition for silent deployment rather than the method described below. For more information, see the Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment web page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html. The officially supported methods can be found at the above deployment information reference, and in Manual deployment | Creative Suite 5, CS5.5 products.
