How to silently install Adobe Captivate 4

Hello
I tried to use the KB 325175 and apply the same command line used in Captivate 3 of the new Captivate 4:

Setup.exe /s /v "/qn SERIALNUMBER = \"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"ALLUSERS = 1 REBOOT = ReallySuppress"

However, I had full UI, and he stopped on the screen asking me serial number. Is it possible to install Adobe Captivate 4 silently without any user interaction, and what are the new command line switches?

Thank you very much
Peter

Adobe Captivate 4 uses a different facility than Captivate 3 technology and therefore the way silent installation is done has changed.
The 405451 knowledge base article # provides all the details:

In addition, he is a very good white paper:

There are a few steps required before running the silent installation:

1. run setup.exe - record = 1
This will run the installer without installing the software and it will record the serial number and the rest of the settings, more, it creates 'Adobe Captivate 4.install.xml' and 'Adobe Captivate 4.remove.xml' files in the folder "C:\Program Files\Fichiers Files\Adobe\Installers". Copy the two above newly create files in the same folder where the setup.exe is and rename them install.xml and remove.xml respectively.

2. create a file named "application.xml.override" in the folder "\payloads\AdobeCaptivate4en_US". Paste the following in this file content:




Delete
Delete
Delete

This will remove the EULA, registration and the updates.

3 enforce
configuration mode-= silent - deploymentFile = install.xml

It will silently work the installation of Adobe Captivate 4.
