Hi.

Please can you let me know if there has been any update on how to perform a silent install for Adobe Digital Editions. I specifically want to automate the activation process for multiple users by selecting the do not authorise option automatically so the install completes without any user interaction.

Thanks

I was able to capture the install using Flexera Admin Studio and unchecked the Symantec Protection offer and before I completed the capture process I edited the registry for "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions 4.5]

and made sure that all were set to ZERO 0

"EnableAutoUpdate"="0"

"ReaderState"="0"

"UpdateInterval"="0"

Works like a charm on x64 and x86 systems

Digital Editions is intended for a single user installation, not an

enterprise-wide one. It does not support multiple users as it appears you

think it does - just two per copy, and that's not going to cut it.....

Hi. Just to clarify. I want to install this on +3000 single users pc's using SMS and an MSI. This can be done, however there are 5 screens at the end of the set-up process which are the EULA and activation screens which force user interaction. When we do our installations they are silent so the user has no interaction and can just load the app when SMS delivery is complete. What I want to do is 'silently’ configure those last screens to accept the EULA and set the app to don’t authorise. Unfortunately is appears to write a key based on current user to the registry on completion of the activation. There does not appear at present to be a way around this. I am trying to avoid 3000 support calls on how to I or incorrect set-up.

The short answer is 'no'.

Nope that is specifically not supported by ADE 1.7 - neither the EULA nor the activation dialogs can be supressed.
