What could block the installation of RoboHelp 2022 on an Intune device (W11)?

Hi there,

I am unable to install RoboHelp 2022 on a Windows 11 laptop that is enrolled and managed via Intune.

When I start the installation, the Adobe sign-in process opens correctly. However, after successful authentication, the redirect back to the RoboHelp installer fails, and the setup process does not continue.

Could you please advise what might be causing this issue and how it can be resolved? My local IT administrator could not help me either.

Thank you in advance.

Best wishes,

Ruth

    We could solve the problem in the meantime. 🤗 It was a combination of the instructions below and using admin rights.

    Answer from the Robohelp support team:

    Although you can successfully sign in to your Adobe account in the browser, the Adobe Account page appears to indicate that no applications or services are currently assigned to your account by your administrator. Also, it seems you are not signed in with the correct business profile(contract- xxx xxxx xxxx).
    Could you, therefore, please ask your Adobe administrator to check your user account directly in the Adobe Admin Console and confirm that the required RoboHelp entitlement/license is assigned to your Adobe account?

    Please note that signing in to RoboHelp using the administrator's own Adobe account is not necessary for this test. We need the administrator to verify the product/license assignment for your user account in the Adobe Admin Console.

    Once the RoboHelp entitlement has been confirmed, please sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop application, close all Adobe applications, sign back in using your account/profile to RH, and check.

    If the RoboHelp license is already correctly assigned but the Loading window still remains indefinitely, please let us know. Since browser sign-in works while the RoboHelp window fails to load, we will need to check whether the managed device/network is preventing RoboHelp from reaching the required Adobe authentication or licensing services. A network/proxy/security restriction on the managed device remains a strong possibility like- Intune policy, firewall, proxy, SSL inspection, web filtering, or endpoint security is interfering.

    So it came down to your Adobe account not “having” RH assigned to it by your corporate Adobe admin?

    I am not sure about that. The thing is, I have been using Robohelp already on my old notebook with my account etc. So, we assumed, it should have already been assigned to my account. As far as I remember, it should be possible to use RH on two devices  with one account - just not at the same time.

    So, I cannot tell what the exact reason was but I am glad it works now.

    Hi there, I am absolutely not sure if this helps. I remember encountering some issue with the RH pop-up dialog in another scenario (some billing issue) because for this dialog, a really really old browser version is used and my computer blocked it. Maybe thats a point where you / your admin / Adobe could dig into.

    Have you tried launching RH as an admin?

    Just did - same result. The dialog appears and I cannot do anything.

    #2 sounds like the version installed needs updating to match the version your projects were last saved as.

    I guess so, but I do not have such an option. As soon as I open Robohelp, a separate dialog opens (see #3). I cannot click elsewhere. When I close the dialog, Robohelp closes, too.

    So did anything actually get installed? Did your IT do up an Intune installer version in the first place?

    Yes, I could install Robohelp (an installer provided by the RoHe support team) but 

    1. I cannot link it with my account yet → I can only use the 30 day trial version.
    2. It says, my projects’ version is newer → I cannot open my projetcs.
    3. A separate dialog opens saying “Is being loaded” but nothing happens. I guess this would be the login dialog but that’s just an assumptions.

    So, I got back to the support team and am waiting for a reply.

    Yes. However, I downloaded it again and ran it with admin rights - did not work either. Got the feedback to download Creative Cloud. Did that and could then start the installation. However, I cannot sign in. So I am stuck again.

    Are you running the installer as an admin? Have you tried suspending Intune, running the installer as an admin & then turning it back on?

    Hi Jeff,

    Yes, I am running the installer as an admin. Talked to my IT and unfortunatley it is not possible to suspend Intune.

    Robohelp support suggested the following:

    Since the Adobe authentication completes successfully but the installer does not continue after the browser redirects back. As a workaround and troubleshooting step, please try installing RoboHelp 2022 using the standalone installer available from our official download page: https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/robohelp-downloads.html
    Please click on the September 2022 release Windows package, extract the downloaded ZIP file completely to a local folder, and then run the Setup.exe file with the required administrator privileges.

    However, this did not work either as installation did not start and we were redirected to the Adobe website.

    Weren’t you already running the installer downloaded from the RH site in the first place? Or had your IT gone and done up an Intune version of the installer?
