Nucleus Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I want to install Adobe Reader silently, without installing Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com. I read somewhere that ifr I download ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/...0_en_US_Std.exe it does not include them. I tried it, but they are.So, how can I install Adobe Reader silently, without installing Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com. I've seen some lite packages going around, but I would prefer doing the process myself.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybpsych Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 well, all you need to do is edit Adobe Reader's package + repackage the modified files into a self-extracting installerhttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&...st&p=842358and thenhttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39048or a simpler method: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=119394 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucleus Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 I don't get why companies do this. They all start with a software that does the job, and they all end up creating bloadware! Nero does this, now adobe does this. Now I have to go throught a half an hour process to make a proper installer every time a new version comes up. I went with cd burner xp now I have to go to foxit!

You can check here and see the one with the smallest file size (~25 MB).You can also modify the package using Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to remove other "bloats" (start-up item, shortcuts etc.).
