How do I create a silent install for Adobe Robohelp 11.0? AAMEE fails

[Roejbaek]

I have tried to create a silent install for Adobe Roboehelp 11 using AAMEE v. 3.1 but after inserting "product installation folder", "package name" and "save to" and choosing "next" the picture just greys out.

If if choose "next" again I get to the options page but it is empty.

I tried using an older version of AAMEE and here I can create an unserialized build but it wont accept the my license code (which works fine if I install manually)

Does anyone know how to solve this?

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64 bit.

Best Regards,

I cannot help you with AAMEE but maybe this old Rh8 page will offer some information.

Hi Christian,

You have to use Creative cloud packager (CCP) to create the package for RoboHelp 11, AAMEE will not work for the latest version. CCP will be available in your LWS website(www.licensing.adobe.com) . Download CCP from LWS website and create a package for RH 11.

Please refer to the below link for more information of CCP:

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/creating-packages.html

Once you will reach "The Application and Updates screen " on CCP window then you have to click on "Add Offline Media" and select the "product installer folder" as RH 11 might not show in the list of products on that screen.

After creating the package:

Steps to follow to deploy silently on single machine:

1. Open CMD in Administrator mode.

2. Give the path till inside the build folder of the package. For Example if the build is saved on your Desktop the path in CMD should be as below:

C:\Users\[username]\Desktop\Packagefolder\packagename\Build>

3. Now type the following installation command: msiexec.exe /i packagename.msi /quiet

4. Launch Task Manager.

5.There will be three process of “msiexec.exe”

a)   6.One will be under System

b)   7.Other Two will be under [username].

8.Installation will be completed once both the process of msiexec.exe under the [username] are finished.

9.The installation process with take 5 to 10 minutes
