not able to install adobe captivate 7.0 on windows 7 64 bit machine
i am trying to repackage adobe captivate 7.0 on windows 7 64 bit machine. i want it to be silent install so that none of my customers have to do anyhting. when i run the setup on 64 bit machine it prompts to close windows explorer and if i close it continues the setup. however i want to automate this. i am using vbscript as final deliverable. through script i am closing the windows explorer. however setup terminates immediately and it fails to continue. i want to have final deliverable as vbs only. i cannot start explorer immediately as it kills everything. any thoughts from people here. my script is
If IS64BIT = 1 Then
objShell.Run "C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /T /IM explorer.exe", 1, True
objShell.Run "MsiExec.exe /i """ & sCurrentDirectory & "BIN64\Adobe_Captivate_7.0_x64.msi"" Transforms="""& sCurrentDirectory &"BIN64\Adobe_Captivate_7.0_x64.mst"" /QR", 0, True
objShell.Run "explorer.exe"
Use ProcMon to find out *why* Windows Installer wants to kill it - it's probably holding open a system file that Captivate wants to replace (another RBI) - and engineer your package accordingly. - anonymous_9363 10 years ago
I can see that it installs a bunch of Visual C++ runtimes: 8.0.50727.6195, 9.0.30729.6161 and 10.0.40219.325. Try installing these outside of the Captivate package first and see how that pans out. - anonymous_9363 10 years ago
