Follow these instructions to silently install Adobe Premiere Elements 9 on Windows with an Adobe volume license (AVL).
Some of these procedures require you to locate hidden files and hidden folders or to locate files by their full filenames, including extensions (for example, sample_filename.ini). By default, Windows Explorer does not show hidden files, hidden folders, and filename extensions that it recognizes. See Show hidden files, hidden folders, and filename extensions | Windows XP | Vista | Windows 7 (kb402324).
On Windows 7/Vista, a User Access Control (UAC) prompt sometimes appears when the installer starts, if UAC is enabled. To prevent the User Access Control prompt, disable UAC.
