If I have only RoboHelp 7, then this works also.īut, when I install RoboHelp 7 in a machine that has Captivate 3, then when I launch Captivate 3, it automatically copies the AdobeUpdater.exe and AdobeUpdaterInstallMgr.exe (it is running the MSI and copying it over) in to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater5\ directory and then the Help -> Updates option gets enabled in Captivate 3 as well as RoboHelp 7. In order to disable updates in RoboHelp 7 I had to delete adobeUpdater.exe and adobeUpdaterInstallMgr.exe in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater5\ folder. (options are not grayed out, but does not work) I remove adobe_registration.dll and AdobeUpdater.dll from Captivate 3 and it disable the registration and updates. I am running in to an issue with Captivate 3 registration and updates after installing Adobe RoboHelp 7 in the same machine. This will run the installation of Adobe Captivate 4 silently. Setup.exe -mode=silent -deploymentFile=install.xml
This will suppress the EULA, registration and updates. Paste the following contents in this file: Create a file named " " in the " \payloads\AdobeCaptivate4en_US" folder.
Copy the above two newly created files in the same folder where the setup.exe is and rename them to install.xml and remove.xml respectively.Ģ.

This will run the setup without installing the software and it will record the serial number and the rest of the settings chosen, plus, it will create " Adobe Captivate 4.install.xml" and " Adobe Captivate 4.remove.xml" files in the " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers" folder. There are a few steps required before running the silent installation:

The knowledge base article # 405451 provides full details: The /f1 switch is available both when creating a response file (with the /r option) and when using a response file (with the /s option).Īdobe Captivate 4 uses a different installer technology than Captivate 3 and hence the way silent installation is done has changed. Using the /f1 argument allows you to specify where the response file is (or where it should be created) and what its name is, as in Setup.exe /s /f1"C:\Temp\Setup.iss". f1 : Specify alternative response file name (InstallScript and InstallScript MSI projects only) Once the setup.iss is created, then you can use the /f1 argument to enter the response file name in your silent install. (This works for some Adobe products, but didn't work for Robohelp 7 I had the issue with, so I'm not sure about Captivate, but you can give it a try) The response file will be created in c:\windows folder and it will be named setup.iss. In the command line type the following to create the response file.Īnd it will run the install, and you can enter each option EULA, Serial number etc, if it prompts you to enter. but you can try creating a response file (setup.iss) by doing an install and recording the responses in. I'm not sure this will work or not as I don't have Captivate 4.

The other thing that Captivate and Framemaker would 'break' when together was the disabling of Automatic Updates and manual Updates (which was a requirement to be disabled) but that's a different topic. I solved the problem by adding the information of both apps in one cache.db file. Can't look up the email thread, changed jobs in the mean time. "There wasn't a property for that", they said.
Anyway, talked and emailed back and forth with Adobe to get the property for the Serial Number for Captivate, to eliminate having to use this cache.db file, but they weren't able to give it to me. Colleague had done Captivate and a few months later I did Framemaker. I ran into this problem when Captivate and Framemaker were put on one machine. I should've mentioned that this only works when Captivate is the only installed CS3 app. IIRC, you're right that the registration nonsense gets written to that file but I *believe* that file records such data for ALL the CS3 apps so, if you have more than one, overwriting it with this one would screw your already-installed CS3 app(s).
