Bilou_Gateux Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Adobe Support Knowledgebase Document 322064Using a Setup.iss File for a Silent Installation of Acrobat Reader in WindowsThis record provides instructions on how to record a Setup.iss script, which you can use for a silent installation of Adobe Acrobat Reader. (A silent installation means the installer displays no interface, and all options are preselected.) Once you've recorded the Setup.iss script, you can use it in conjunction with the Acrobat Reader installer to install in 32-bit Windows operating systems (for example, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0).For large-scale enterprise deployment of Acrobat Reader, use the Acrobat Enterprise Installation Tool, available from Adobe's Web site at www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html. Note: The Abcpy.ini file (Adobe blind copy initialization file), which enables you to customize the Acrobat Reader installer, isn't needed for these instructions. This record doesn't include instructions on how to use the Abcpy.ini file, display dialog boxes during a silent install, or access other installer applications. For information on using the Abcpy.ini file, see Related Records.Disclaimer: Adobe Systems Incorporated provides these instructions as a courtesy, because this information is not readily available elsewhere. These instructions were not tested by Adobe Engineering, and Adobe Technical Support cannot assist with the creation of a Setup.iss script or troubleshoot issues that arise from an improperly created Setup.iss script. Recording the Installation ProcessThe first step in creating the script for a silent installation is recording, or copying, the installation process you'll want to use for the silent installation:1. Choose Start > Run, then click Browse.2. Navigate to the Acroread folder on the Acrobat CD-ROM, select the Setup.exe file, and click Open. The pathname appears in the Run dialog box.3. Type a space after the path in the Run line, and then type -r. For example, the pathname could appear as "C:\Acroread\Setup.exe -r". Click OK. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions, selecting the options you want to use for any silent installations, such as the location of the Acrobat Reader program files. The installer creates a Setup.iss file in the Windows folder.Using the Script Once you've got the Setup.iss script file that contains the recorded installation options, you can run the Acrobat installer with the script from any other computer:1. Copy the Setup.iss file into the same folder as the Acrobat Reader installer. (If your installer is on a CD, you will have to copy the folder with the installer to your hard drive.)2. Choose Start > Run, then click Browse.3. Select the Setup.exe file for Acrobat Reader, and click Open. The pathname appears in the Run dialog box.4. Type a space after the path in the Run line, and then type -s. For example, the pathname could appear as "C:\Windows\Desktop\Setup.exe -s". Click OK. The installer installs Acrobat Reader using the options you selected while creating the Setup.iss file. You won't have to select any installation options and the installer won't display any dialog boxes indicating its progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
