Hi Alexander,

Please follow the steps below to silently install RoboHelp 9:

I) Copy the set up from installation media to your local drive.

II) Create the application.xml.override file.This file(application.xml.ov) is required for serialization during installation, registration suppression, End User LicenseAgreement (EULA) suppression, and update suppression.To create this override file follow steps mention below

Open Notepad.
Copy the following text into the application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Configuration><Payload adobeCode="{Product_Code}"> <Data key="Serial" protected="0">12341234123412341234</Data> <Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data><Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data><Data key="EULADelay">-1</Data> </Payload> </Configuration>
Replace Product_Code with your product's code:

a) Navigate to <Installation source folder>\payloads.

b) Open setup.xml in Notepad.

c) Locate the <mediaSignature> tag.

d) Copy the alphanumeric product code between <mediaSignature> and </mediaSignature>.

e) Paste the copied code into the {Product_Code} value in the application.xml.override file.
Example: <Configuration><Payload adobeCode="{DE60F0DE-469A-42DC-A678-978313210057}">.

4) Replace 123412341234123412341234 with your serial number.
Important: Omit hyphens. Delete <Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data> to have the registration prompt appear. Delete <Datakey="Updates">Suppress</Data> to have the Adobe Application Manager check for updates.

5) Save the file as application.xml.override in the deployment folder.
Important: Make sure that application.xml.override does not have any additional extensions, such as .txt.

III) Open command promt in Admin mode. Type the following command to silently install the product.

Set-up.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile=<path to Deployment.install.xml> --acton=install --overrideFile="<Deployment files source path>\application.xml.override" .

Note:- 1) Depolyment file can be found in the deploy folder of the set up. There will be locale specific deployment file. Use one which pertains to your need.

2) You may get error code 6 after completing the set up. However, product may work fine.

Hello

Years ago I worked in a large call center. I used RoboHelp to develop what was used by the Call Center staff. The folks that ran the call center were about to add ten new call center employees. They were ordering new workstatiions and software to accommodate the new employees. At one point someone approached me to ask if I could negotiate a discount on RoboHelp for mass purchases. When I questioned why, they advised that they were about to order ten new copies of RoboHelp because they misunderstood and thought each user of what I created needed their own copy of RoboHelp in order to use it.

I mention this because you said:

I want to deploy Adobe Robohelp 9 across my organization.

So either you have gobs of folks using RoboHelp to create content in your organization, or you may be misunderstanding things and thinking that all users of RoboHelp created content actually need RoboHelp in order to view and use the content created. And if that's what you are thinking, you are mistaken and there is no need to install RoboHelp all over your organization.

Cheers... Rick
