Since yesterday or sth there's a beta file out, called "AdbeRdr70_enu_full.exe".

i tried the -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" command, like for 6.01, But it didn't work. Can anybody tell me the right? You should finde the file on www.9down.com

gimme about 2 mins & ill let ya know

EDIT: will be closer 2 10 mins... the mirror they have listed on the site u posted has crappy speeds

yes, i know, sry, i could do it on my ftp, but its only 30kbps speed, too

run the setup file.. wait til it uncompresses all files, goto

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrBig\ENU

& get the msi & the data1.cab

put them in the same folder & run the msi with the /qn or /qb switch

okay, thx mate.

yw.. did it work? i never installed it.. but i assume it does

i think it works with /qn, i only tried it with command order yet. i'll put it in my next windows installation...

i just tried running the msi & everything installs ok so maybe this will be helpful 2 someone else

just case anyone is wondering too.. the speedup thing still works..

Download the attachment!!

Download Adobe 7.0 beta from Softpedia. It has fast d/l speed.

EDIT: Their mirror for Adobe sux. D/l speed is less then 15 kB/s

Installed Adobe Reader 7.0 . Here are my first impressions.

1. Installation goes nice and smooth. No problems at all.
The first thing I noticed during setup and the in the splash and about screens is that they got rid of the STUPID "leaping businessman" clipart. It was very annoying.

2. The splash screen isn't so fancy as the one in 6.0, and it's turned off by default.

3. First launch of Acrobat. The same EULA ...blah blah. First thing to notice really fast loading. I think at least 10 times faster than 6.0

4. The interface it's pretty much the same. Some buttons have been redisgned. In the lower-left corner have been added 2 buttons for fast acces to the fullscreen function and hide-toolbars.

5. The About screen doesn't have that scrooling Credits which I liked it. The Credits appear in a new window.

6. Opening a PDF (double click one) it's done very quick the same as loading the program without any file.

That's it for now.
When version 7.0 will reach final version will worth upgrading the old 6.0

I think the new design is older than that from 6.0 Oo, but i think, it's loading very much faster than 6.0, u r right, gabriel buc

Wow. And I was goint to ask if it was 150mb and takes 17 minutes to open before I download it That's what I was expecting from them seeing how their new versions are becoming...

**** this thing opens fast. Makes you wonder what they were doing wrong in version 6.0
By the way has anyone noticed that the version number displayed in 'About', is 7.9.0, wow that's like almost version 8.0 and this thing is still in beta. Strange, is it not?

The original file is 18.4 mb, but the msi & data1.cab file add up to 30.5mb
Is there no way to use the original exe file to do the silent install?

Even when you use the original file (18.4MB) the first action that is performed is extracting the files for the setup in Win's default TEMP dir. So there is the same thing .....

@Sanjay: I noticed the 7.9.0, and I wanted to write about it in my impression post but I forgot.

u could zip them using 7zip

How would I use the original exe file to do a silent install? Using the original file is not the same as extracting the MSI because as I mentioned earlier there is a matter of the difference between 18.4 mb (original exe) compared to 30.5mb (MSI & Data1.cab).

Can't I do that with WinRAR? Can you be more specific regarding the whole procedure including file names and commands to put in my 'start.cmd'.

Thanks.

yes u can use winrar too, but generally 7zip is better compression

Could you elaborate on how to use 7zip. What I need to know are the file names to use and also the command lines for my 'start.cmd'.

Thanks

hi.. u can use any file name.. your just zipping the 2 files together.. & take alook @ the documentation for 7zip for switches for the method u want 2 use http://7-zip.org

i just tested it.. & it only got it down 1 MB.. cuz its already compressed

EDIT: but u could use mazin's (i think thats who wrote the tutorial) 2 remove all the extras, he got his down 2 10MB i think..

Thanks but I tried zipping with 7zip and could only get it down to 28.5mb What I don't understand is how come originally Adobe was able to fit all this in a 18.5mb installer.
I guess we are still looking for a way to silent install the original installer.

what does delete whisptis do?
And in the reg files,changing the itnenret connection,what are you actually changing?

@Daimao

what does that post have 2 do with your question?

Wisptis.exe is an uneeded service that comes with adobe.. the reg tweaks prevent it from loading

changing what part of the internet connection? u have 2 know that 80% of windows is controlled by regitry.. so saying "internet connection reg files" doesnt describe alot
