BoardBabe Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Anyone successfully installed this?I have bought the whole creative suit, and my goal is to include some of this package to my UA DVD. I can't get illustrator to install, it says "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX error". when i try install it. with the /qb switch on the .msi.s I have double checked the CD key, its correct!

Astalavista Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I use a combination of autoit and Abcpy.ini;***************************************************************;OEM Installation Options;***************************************************************[OEM Install]DisplayWelcomeDlg=NODisplayEULA=NODisplayXPDialog=NODisplayTypeOfInstallDlg=NODisplaySelectDestDirDlg=NODisplayCustomDlg=NODisplayUserInfoDlg=NODisplayConfirmRegDlg=NODisplayStartCopyDlg=NODisplayFinishDlg=NODisplayFinalMessage=NODisplayRebootDlg=NOProgGroupName=DefaultDestDir=FName=_______LName=_______MI=UserCompanyName=_________UserSerialNumber=000000000000000000000000DisplayBackGround=no DisplayProgressBar=noProgressBarStart=noProgressBarEnd=noAutoIT.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 What does the autoit do? can you please show the code, and when do i run it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Code for you, BoardBabe.AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 1)Run("setup.exe"); Suppres Dialog - "To avoid restarting your system after installation..."If WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS Setup", "To avoid restarting your system", 30) Then WinActivate("Adobe Illustrator CS Setup", "To avoid restarting your system") Send('{ENTER}')EndIf; Suppres Dialog - "QuickTime 6 is required..."If WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS Setup", "QuickTime 6 is required ", 90) Then WinActivate("Adobe Illustrator CS Setup", "QuickTime 6 is required ") Send('{ENTER}')EndIfThough, I would expect a silent switch to be used, or more windows to process ? It would start the setup.exe for you. I do not know the Adobe installer, so cannot answer fully to it's usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 I don't have a setup.exe, only an "adobe illustrator cs2.msi" and it gives me an error when i silently install it, but not when i double click the .msi. Weird.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Hm think i've tried it all now and out of ideas, anyone got a clue why the silent install is not accepting my product key? (outputs it as an error).I find this so strange, as it is NO PROBLEM if i run the install with the .msi normally in windows. (all info filled in from abcpy.ini correctly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Try using an mst instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 I dont know what an .mst is Can you please explain to me? I'd really appriciate some help here, as this is the last thing on my UACD before i can call it a final and write it to a DVD. This last app is giving me problems installing, and for days i havent figured out anything yet on how to solve it Except maybe autoit? but ive never used that.

totoymola Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi BoardBabe.Read the information here:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=38802&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 That was not successfull. I get a message that the installer does not support hiding of dialogs. After i have made the .mst and the shortcut It only opens the installer where i have to click next and so on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 That message is normal. Only a few msi's support hiding dialogs (mostly Wise msi's).I'll try to do it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Thanks man. I did sure not make it work It only started the installer like if I had manually clicked the .msi installer myself. Although when I came to the registration window it had already filled in info (not from abcpy.ini). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHz Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I am impressed BoardBabe. Very nice to know someone with good Autoit skills. Windows do not need to be active for Control*() functions though.I have changed alittle of your script to reflect on how I would handle it. This will give you another view of how it can be done.
