The second option, run the installer and copy the file from the temp folder is what I did, but I had to go about it a little differently. The machine that I was running the install from had 4G of RAM and I couldn't see the filename of the .msp because the installer went through it too fast. Once I ran the installer from a 512 machine it was slow enough for me to see the filename to run a search on the temp folder. Edit: very interesting turn of events; I was successful in slipstreaming all the way to 7.1.3, and the single install from the AIP was successful, but as soon as it would reboot the computers in the OU, the install would fail for all of them. When looking at the log files, it would say "installation point could not be found", but the correct UNC path was there. I then ran the AIP manually on one of the failed laptops and it asked me to continue the install of 7.1.3. I hit cancel and rebooted the machine. The install was successful. So i figured it just takesa a few reboots for it to install, so I rebooted the other 3. The install failed again, but this time I had a network folder open doing some other things, and I suddenly lost network connectivity. Putting a few things together, my laptop and the 4 new ones all are on the same hub. When the installer is running from the GPO, I loose network connectivity for some reason and the installation fails on all machines connected through this hub. However, if I reboot only one machine and have the GPO install it, the installer works fine but I still lose network connectivity. Why does it drop? I'm thinking the hub just isn't beefy enough to handle what I'm doing to it. I was able to install it successfully on all 4 laptops on the same hub, but I just needed to stagger the reboots.

Completely new to the whole slipstreamming process so Adobe might not have been the best one to start with. I have an AIP of 7.0 and a cd copy also on the network. The initial AIP worked fine installing 7.0, and now I'm trying to update it to 7.1.3. I was reading the requirements for 7.1.3 and it said that the earliest it will update is 7.1.0, so I downloaded that. I noticed that the extension for this update was exe and the 7.1.3 was msp, so I'm figuring that that is why I can't slipstream 7.1.0 into 7.0. Where on Adobe's site can I find a slipstreammable(?) version of 7.1 so I can update? All I can find is the 7.1 cumulative exe.

I found the registry key (HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowsMetrics) that allows me to change the icon setting of wrapping the text, and a few other desktop display settings. I poked around in the rest of the keys there and couldn't find what I was trying to do. I would like to change the length of the allowed text so that even if the name of the shortcut is 30 characters long, all 30 would show up on one line. Any idea which key I change for that? Old icon text: Shortcut to Projects New icon text: Shortcut to Projects Update: Changing the spacing between the icons changes the length of the textbox.
