For some reason the code to install reader 6 silently isn't working...

Taken straight from my runonceex.cmd file

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Installing Adobe Reader 6.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\applications\adobereader6\AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" /f

Anyone see anything wrong??
I'm using a slipstreamed sp2 xp pro cd.

Thanks!

Did RunOnceEx complain about "too many setup parameters" ?

I noticed that error flashing by very fast in a command prompt.

I got around it by using a full install on another PC, then grabbing the files from \windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6.0.1\ENUBIG :

Renamed the MSI to AR6.msi, dropped 'em into \install\apps\adobe dir and used the following:

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader 6.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\apps\adobe\AR6.msi /qn" /f

That worked perfectly.

This is an unbalanced command: there are 5 " which means one is either missing or extra.

I think it should be this:
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\applications\adobereader6\AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"\"" /f

Yeah...this one is correct.
