    [Release] Adobe Reader 9.1 Corporate/Lite

    in Application Installs

    Posted · Edited by MSFN-GuEsT

    MSFN-GuEsT, highly not recommended.

    AR itself depends on Javascript, not just opening PDF-with-Javascripts.

    hmm, interesting...

    guess i've never noticed it being "needed" for AR to run effectively...

    guess i view JS as "evil" - i only allow it in my web browser roughly 2% of the time, if that!... long live Proxomitron!

    but anyway, i'll just keep disabling it on my end, obviously a "personal preference", no need to force my preferences upon others :D

    About the removal of the PDF tab. Has anyone noticed any problems with that? During my tests, everything is fine. Tomorrow I'll post a new version for testing with the above change.

    i've also not noticed any problems with the removal of the PDF tab, everything seems fine for me as well...

    (oh, and apologies for not looking up the reg-key...)

    edit: ps - i hope it's not mentioned above [it's a LONG thread!], but, um, has it been mentioned about perhaps having the "Check for updates" DISABLED by default?

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral

    Office 2000/XP/2003/2007 Slipstreamer - version 1.6.2

    in Microsoft Office

    Posted · Edited by MSFN-GuEsT

    AWESOME utility... a definite "must have"...

    until stumbling into this forum about a month or two ago, i've always done all my updating via AutoPatcher - http://www.autopatcher.com/

    since the stumble-upon, i've been *LOVING* the whole slipstreaming, from IE7 to WMP11 to AutoIt RunOnce's...

    i have a question revolving around the slipstreamed hotfixes - in a nutshell, how can i VERIFY that they've been installed...

    it "might" be an AutoPatcher thing, not sure yet, but AutoPatcher says SP3 is installed, but none of the 11 hotfixes selected to have been slipstreamed...

    i'm a LEGIT owner of my Office CD, but i AVOID "Microsoft Update" sites AT ALL COSTS (for the same paranoiac reasons that i "boycott" GOOGLE, lol)...

    but i guess if i MUST go to Microsofts "update" site for 'verification', i guess that's an option as a LAST RESORT...

    edit: forgot to mention - Office 2003 on Win XP Pro, both fully patched (aiming to "shrink" a fully-patched Office 2k3 with 'verifiable' proof that the hotfixes are 'embedded')...

    Is XP SP3 ready?

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    true...

    except i'm running 3264 and was too "stupid" to know that i'd need to UNINSTALL IT before installing any "newer" SP3's...

    i didn't "keep" the uninstall directories (my standard practice for any hotfix directories), axed them to 'save space'... :/

    oh well, that gives me until 180 days from the release of 3264 to "perfect" my slipstreaming and be ready to re-install everything...

    (i tend to format/re-install once or twice a year anyway, which led this newbie to these forums - autoit/nlite/et cetera to install EVERYTHING in one fell-swoop...)

    All SP3 beta builds expire on June 30th, 2008...

    i'm seeing some sites saying to "Start -> Run -> winver" and that the box that opens is supposed to tell us the expiration date...

    i'm seeing no expiration date, even installed a fresh SP2 in VirtualBox and then installed the latest SP3 v.5508, still no "winver" expiration...

    there "has to be" a way for me to find out WHEN (if?) my SP3 v.3264 "expires" WITHOUT me booting up one morning and not being able to do so, with no advance notice...
