INTRODUCTION
The goal of this document is to develop a file that performs a silent installation of any
product of Adobe CS5 Suite. It targets computer technicians or technical supports who need toinstall any product of Adobe CS5 Suit for a huge number of computers in few minutes which
may take only one minute. Silent installation is useful of saving time. It is fact that some of
software needs half hour or more than one hour to be installed and some company needs to
install same software for more than one hundred computers. While silent installation takes
around one minute to do the installation without going through the tedious process for each
computer and without any active from the user. The user will need to do the customization for
the software only once for the silent installation, which will be done through this procedure, then
will not do the customization any more even if he/she install the software more than million
times.
To create the file of silent installation, technician will need to download Adobe
Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE) and installs it in workstation. AAMEE will
help in creating a MSI file that will be used in writing the code line for silent installation. Then
the code line will be written in text editor with pat extinction.
Missing one step from this file can cause failed to the final result. Documentation
provided on Cited References, page 13 & 14.
