Flash MX uses InstallShield, so you would need to install it on the machine prior to loading it with your unattended OS.

In order to make it a silent install, go to a machine and run the command SETUP.EXE -R. This will record the install to a file called SETUP.ISS, which will be located in either WINNT (for NT/2K) or WINDOWS (XP). After the install is complete, copy that .ISS file to your Flash MX installation folder.

Now, depending on how you have set up your batch file(s), you would run this command:

d:\macromedia\2004\flash\update\setup.exe -s -f1"d:\macromedia\2004\flash\update\setup.iss"

If it is used in a RunOnceEx file, which gets imported into the registry, the command line would be:

d:\macromedia\2004\flash\update\setup.exe -s -f1\"d:\macromedia\2004\flash\update\setup.iss\"

All of the \'s need to be there.

Since I install all of my apps from my 80GB D drive, my command starts with D. You would substitute D with whatever drive, folder, etc., that you use for your applications.

Thankyou very much

What about Fireworks MX?

I have run the -r switch and it records everything except the registration information. Has anyone seen this and if so, how did you go about fixing it?

Thanks,

Dan

Which machine do I goto and run the command setup.exe -r? Do I replace "setup" with the name of the installer? Will I need to run the whole installation again?
You have to make it into the flash mx install folder ? Is that the folder behind $1/Install?

Why Macromedia behind the d drive?

Why Macromedia behind the d drive?

1. Any machine (im thinking you mean computer)
2."Setup" is the resultant file after you extract it from the launcher (setup.exe)
3.Once you install it the first time, and get the setup.iss file, you do not need to rerun setup, only if you need to reinstall the app.
4. Yes it is
5.Macromedia can be placed on any drive, all you need to do is when you make the unattended cd you point it to the exact location of the setup.exe and follow it with the nessary arguements.
