To attend an Adobe Connect session, you can use the Adobe Connect application for desktop for Adobe Connect 9 and later. The IT departments can deploy these clients for Hosts, Presenters, and participants across their organizations using silent installation method.
There are a handful of emulators available for Mac that can run iPhone apps, but keep in mind that these are not intended for casual users. These programs are not easy to install. Install Chrome on Mac. Download the installation file.; Open the file called 'googlechrome.dmg.' In the window that opens, find Chrome.; Drag Chrome to the Applications folder.
See Adobe Connect application for desktop article to know more about the application.
Install application on desktop (for individuals)
Install the Adobe Connect application (and other updates) from the Downloads and Updates page. The Adobe Connect application works only for Connect 9 and later versions.
Installation of the Adobe Connect application does not require administrative privileges. The stand-alone installer installs the application inside a custom directory structure as opposed to the system directory structure. Your Adobe Connect account administrator can make it mandatory to install the Adobe Connect application to join a meeting, a training, or a webinar.
Note:
Close all the running instances of the application before installing a newer version.
During the installation process, you can choose to create Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts for the Adobe Connect application. This feature is supported in Windows only.
Deploy application for desktop using MSI (for administrators)
The IT administrators can use Microsoft SCCM to deploy the application using MSI across all machines in their organizations.
The MSI installer is available on the Downloads and Updates page. The installer supports /l option for logging. For more information, see command-line options at MSDN.
Note:
If you are an individual user, directly download the relevant application installer from the Downloads and Updates page. Do not use the MSI installer.
During the MSI installation process, the start menu shortcut is created automatically. However, to configure a shortcut for desktop, the config.ini file can be created by following the below steps:
- Open a text editor, like Notepad.
- Add the shortcut config settings to your file.
- Save the file as config.ini.
- Place the config.ini file along with the MSI installer file.
- Run the MSI application silently from cmd as Admin.
After a successful installation, verify that the shortcut is being created as per the config.ini file.
Supported command-line switches for the installation of MSI installer
The following table lists the command-line switches for the installation of MSI installer:
| Switch | Description |
| /i <Product.msi> | Installs or configures a product |

By default, Adobe Connect application is set to automatically download and install any updates that are released by Adobe. This section contains instructions for turning off or disabling the automatic check for updates in two ways.
You can set a registry entry that will disable updates. To apply via the registry do the following:
- Open Start.
- Search for “Regedit”.
- Navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAdobeConnect
- Add a registry entry called 'preventUpdateCheck' DWORD with non-zero value.
- Close 'Regedit'.
Note:
To change the default settings, changes must be made under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to allow only Administrators to enforce this option.
- Add a file named “restrictedUpdates.txt” to %appdata%AdobeConnect folder.
Silently install Adobe Connect 8 add-in using command line (for administrators)
Adobe Connect versions earlier than version 9.0 continue to work using the old add-in. The IT administrators can deploy the old add-in across multiple machines in their organizations using a silent, command-line installation method.

On the command prompt, navigate to the Setup.exe file.
