WwTIPPYwW Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Got this working: note - this is the method to install from CD, without first copying off the cd to the harddrive.REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.1" /fREG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Adobe601\AdbeRdr60.exe -p\"-s /v\\\"/qn\\\" " /fREG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\Software\Adobe601\AdboeReg.reg" /fHere is a hint for figuring out how to use the \" properly.Add the line into Registry the regular way manually, then export it out. It will put it in the correct format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nartac Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 do what extrememac said then look in c:\windows\cache\Adobe Reader 6.0.1 folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_gie Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 althoug getting the .msi from c:\windows\cache\adobe..., it will be about 30Mb... the original .exe is ~17 Mb so its almost the double, even if compressed. <What you could do is make an admin point. For this, run:C:\windows\cache\adobe...\setup.exe /aIt will ask you for a "network" folder to extract. Put anything you want.Now the files extracted will be bigger than the others, but, they are compressable to about 19 Mb, way better than 30!the admin point is a msi file, just like the one in C:\windows\cache\adobe... use the same swicth.
