hi, I'm trying to install the Adobe Creative Suite silently, but when I try to run the MSI I get the message below:

the setup must update files or services that cannot be updated while the system is running

How can I bypass this message?

Regards

    Hi,

    I had already tried with / q, / qn, / qb-, etc., but the installation fails. From the task manager you see the MSI turn for a while and then close.

    Hi,

    Does a log file get produced? Specifically the PDApp.log

    log locations are in the document above.

    Hi,

    If you do reboot before the deployment do you have an issue?

    Hi,

    This seems related to the need for a reboot. Try using the parameter MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Disable
