With a special installation configuration file
— If you do not use Adobe deployment packages, but run
Setup directly, you can create a special configuration file and place it so that Setup finds it when it
runs.
Locate the driver payload
— Open the top level directory of the product install folder for the
product you are planning to install. In this directory, open the Payloads directory. Here you see a
number of Payload directories and one file called Setup.xml. Open this file and search for a line
that looks like this:
<Driver folder="
folder name
"/>
Make note of this directory name; it identifies a special payload called the driver payload. Close
the Setup.xml file.
Place a configuration file in the driver payload directory.
Go to the driver payload directory. Create a new file In a text editor and enter the following XML
code, using straight quotes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="Updates"> Suppress </Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>
Save the file, naming it
application.xml.override
.
Suppressing Updates with System Files
This method suppresses the Adobe Updater for all CS4 applications on a system.
On Windows®
You can disable AUM system-wide for all users in one of three ways:
1.
Set an Adobe software policy
.
Using Regedit.exe, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe
Find an existing named Updater; if there isn’t one, create it.
If a DWORD value named “Enterprise” exists within this key, set its value to 1; if not, create one and set
its value.
If this entry is missing or is set to any value other than 1, AUM remains enabled.
OR
2.
Set a Windows software policy.
Using Regedit.exe, navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft®\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
Find an existing key named System; if there isn’t one, create it.
If a DWORD value named ConsentPromptBehaviorUser exists within this key, set its value to 0; if not,
create one and set its value.
OR
3.
Set the Windows group policy
, which AUM follows.
Using Regedit.exe, navigate to HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
Find the key in this folder named Installer.
If a DWORD value named DisablePatch exists with this key, set its value to 1; if not, create one and set
its value. This prevents AUM from launching at all.
