After double click the installer...
go to Windows\Downloaded Installations

take out the msi of Macromedia_Dreamweaver_8.msi

run silent installation of it with
Macromedia_Dreamweaver_8.msi REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS /qb-

Success.

But when comes to register...
Cannot find where the hidden serial i did register with it....
Anyone?

[Fritz_Saxi]

Is this the same for Flash 8?
I'm glad they've started using nice msi's

[cyberloner]

YES
Macromedia Flash 8.msi
but cannot rip the serial of it...
always need to register it.... =X
who know how to register it with it MSI installation?

[Fritz_Saxi]

one more thing, what files should i keep with the msi? that data.cab presumeably?
theres also a windows hotfix that needs to be used.
For the activation you'd need some kind of auto-it script.

[cyberloner]

Those hotfix is not needed if u are using SP2....
Using silent install won't install those other exe file too..
so just use the MSI only...
only point is i need to register it... =X

[cyberloner]

there i see the licence of it....
overwrite the License.mlf and it will be fine...
Bravo CLOCLO You are the man...
By the way...
Installation by putting SERIALNUMBER=XXX <-- i think is useless....

[Artificial]

serial=xxxx is working
Just type correctly, put filename in brackets, and "/qb- R" isnt typing error

"Name.msi" Serailnumber=xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /qb- Reboot=Suppress

[cyberloner]

You mean Serailnumber is not Serialnumber
i tried both...

u do go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Macromedia\Licensing\Products\Dreamweaver 8.0

del both file and install again ...
u will get the photo attach....

@cyberloner
You can try to repack Dreamweaver if you like or you can get InstallShield and try to create Transforms file. I repacked Macromedia studio and it works for me. You can try.
How repack Dreamweaver8 with 7-zip. Dreamweaver went down by 15MB - from 68 to 52MB without removing anything.
What you need: 7-zip, StartX.exe, Dreamveaver ,7zSc.sfx from 7-zip directory, reg file,licences files, and enough free space to do job.

1.unpack .exe with 7-zip or WinRar
2.create admin instal point

msiexec /a Dreamweaver8-en.msi and follow instructions.

3.Rename Dreamweaver_8.msi to Macromedia_Dreamweaver_8.msi
4.Add your License.mlf, Registration.mlf, and Activation.mlf into folder CommonAppData
5.Create 7-zip to pack all stuff from your admin folder
6.Create config.txt file with next code inside

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec.exe /i Macromedia_Dreamweaver_8.msi /qn SerialNumber=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS\""
;!@InstallEnd@!

7.Copy StartX, config.txt, 7zSc.sfx, and dream.7z files in same folder
8.Run this command:

COPY /b 7zSc.sfx + config.txt + StartX.exe  + dream8.7z dream.exe

where dream8.7z name of yours 7z package and dream.exe output name.
9.Follow guide from CLOCLO to import reg files
Works flawless for me.
You can use qb+ to get error and figure out what going on.
Here is the link to .msi syntax explanation:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/ad...Line_Syntax.htm
Not sure about Fireworks and Flash.
Good luck

You must keep the Data1.cab file as well otherwise the installation will fail

[shaft3672]

I have been tryin to create a silent install of Flash8 pro. First i created an administrative install using msiexec /a "****.msi" Next i edited the msi in the newly created admin install. I then copyed the installer.mlf and license.mlf using installshield. Then i was able to incorporate the serial number into the msi using orca see the attached image. I have not tried a silent install but i will be testing this with group policy in basic mode hopefully it works. I did try just running the msi and did a next next next type of install and when the install was finished i ran flash and it opened with no problems without asking for registration or serial. Hope this helps.

Is the License data valid only for the machine the product was installed on? (eg. I install DW8 on computer A and get the license file, integrate it into the uA DVD... install on computer B... will the license file still work?)
