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" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Adobe601\AdbeRdr60.exe -p\"-s /v\\\"/qn\\\"  " /f
REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\Software\Adobe601\AdboeReg.reg" /f

Here 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.

though this was mentioned b4 also u can get the msi and cab from the package and just use them..

(nothing againts u nor the method)

i didn't see that - please explain. that might be faster

this look good? i pulled the internal files from the CACHE folder and will use setup

REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Adobe601\setup.exe /s /v\"/qn REBOOT=Suppress\" " /f

ok start the setup and go look at the temp dir's and windows downloaded folder stuff

i don't exactly remember where it extracts them

it should have a 16-21mb cab file along with msi and 3-5 ini's

the setup doesn't run cause i deleted the original 6.01 setup and i found my old 6.00 which doesn't run bc i already have the new version..

so try to find it

its either called adobe reader 6.msi or ar6.msi ....

gl

sorry Xmac still sleeping and slow

@ tippy

you pull the cab file with the msi file

put them in a folder and run it like so

adobereader6.msi /qn

just woke

sorry

i think thats right

lit me look, yep

do what extrememac said then look in c:\windows\cache\Adobe Reader 6.0.1 folder.

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 /a

It 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.
