Being a carpenter I would have to agree with Scott you have to nail them up and be sure to glue your miters. This is never an easy job to get it to look good take it slow and it will turn out

Prefinished Crown Molding

You must use nails. There are colored hardened steel nails that match your trim exactly and are invisible when properly installed.
Nails in trim need a hole drilled first into both the crown moulding and the cabinet itself. The diameter to be drilled should be slightly smaller than the nail itself and a small light probably a cordless drill should be used.
One would not want to glue the moulding onto the cabinet as the moulding and cabinet expand at different rates and this would cause a failure in the adhesive in a year or so and the moulding would fall off.

If I were you I would not want to find an easy out on something like crown molding (or any trim for that matter), finish carpentry is not somewhere you want to cut corners.
The proper way to install it is to use finish nails, preferably a brad nailer. You will want to use a wood glue to glue your miters together where two pieces of crown molding come together. Then use a nail set to make sure none of the heads are sticking out then fill the holes with a wood filler that matches the color of your crown molding.

I put mine on with adhesive caulk 4 years ago. Looks great. Put one tiny nail in the bottom middle of a larger piece to hold it but the rest were held up by the caulk.

Forget the glue, except for the joints, use colored brads with a tack hammer or rent a brad nailer from a rental store or the home improvement store. Good luck

You don't. Use an adhesive such as liquid nails, and small trim nails. Just set the nail heads, and fill the small hole with a touch-up crayon.

Use Liquid Nails adhesive which will give you enough time to position the pieces and masking tape to hold it in place while it dries.

If I was you I would use -Liqued Nails- It should be around the paint and caulking area
