akoop Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 When I run the AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe /? command I do not get the list of options but rather it starts to run the install GUI. Why? Are there different versions of the AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe file?Thanks for any help you can give me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkdt Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Some folks over at the Adobe forum note that you can get the Reader 9 installer sans Adobe.com and Adobe Air HERE. Download the AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe installer. Here's my AutoIt script to install unattendedly, arrange icons, get rid of the EULA nag, and remove "speed launcher" from Run:RunWait ( @ScriptDir & '\AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe /sPB /rs')FileDelete( @ProgramsCommonDir & "\Adobe Reader*.lnk")FileDelete( @DesktopCommonDir & "\Adobe Reader*.lnk")FileCreateShortcut(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe", @ProgramsCommonDir & "\Accessories\Adobe Reader 9.lnk")RegWrite('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AdobeViewer', 'TrustedMode', 'REG_DWORD', '00000000')RegWrite('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AdobeViewer', 'EULA', 'REG_DWORD', '00000001')RegWrite('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AdobeViewer', 'Launched', 'REG_DWORD', '00000001')RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AdobeViewer', 'EULA', 'REG_DWORD', '00000001')RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AdobeViewer', 'Launched', 'REG_DWORD', '00000001')RegDelete('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'Adobe Reader Speed Launcher')Edited for typos.

akoop Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 That is the location I got the install file from, but I am still unable to run it with the /? switch.I am using the AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe file, should I be using one of the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Honestly, I think this is the best way to deploy Acrobat Reader 9 silently, and without unnecessary components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkdt Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Nice find, Cluberti, I might add that reg tweak to disable the updater.@akoop: you need to run the installer with the /? switch and LET IT RUN. The program will not install. Running C:\Users\MeMeMe\Desktop\AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe /?, for example, will run "Adobe Reader 9 - Setup" but end with a simple Window listing all of the setup switches available, as stated by hannubys.

akoop Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I will give it a try. I didn't realize that the GUI would open and run without actually installing the app.Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkdt Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 No problem.I am using the AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe file, should I be using one of the others?In my opinion, yes, look for AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe as it does not include Adobe.com and Air.

pila2 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 You can use the Adobe Customization Wizard 9, execulte the installer adobe reader goes to the folder "C: \ Program Files \ Adobe \ Acrobat 9.0 \ Setup Files \ (AC76BA86-7AD7-1046-7B44-A92000000001)". copy all the files open ACW9 and make the changes that you want, use the addon maker to create the ADDom, not need any command. sorry for EnglishAdobe customization wizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
