FireForce Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Good work RyanVM.The unattended Adobe Reader 6.0.2 installer is very well. I'm recreating this for the german version of Adobe Reader 6.0.2.I have done the following steps at the moment:1.) 6.0.2 update completely integrated into the package2.) PrintMe addin completely removed from the package3.) Numerous registry tweaks, including: no splash screen, no EULA prompt, no ad bar, and more4.) Only one shortcut created on the start menu (none on desktop)Now, I have a Problem with repacking of the files with 7-Zip.I used the process which is explained in the .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack integration Thread.The Batch file creates a *.exe file, but when I'm executing it, I get an unknown error Message. Can you check my Batch file please?The Batchfile:MD adobereader602XCOPY "CommonAppData" "adobereader602\CommonAppData" /q /i /s /eXCOPY "program files" "adobereader602\program files" /q /i /s /eXCOPY "System32" "adobereader602\System32" /q /i /s /eCOPY "Adobe Reader 6.0.2 - Deutsch.msi" "adobereader602\Adobe Reader 6.0.2 - Deutsch.msi"COPY "StartX.exe" "adobereader602\StartX.exe"CD adobereader602..\7za.exe a "adobereader602.7z" -r -mx=7 -mfb=255 -md=48m *CD..COPY 7zS.sfx 7zSC.sfxupx.exe 7zSC.sfxECHO ;!@Install@!UTF-8!>config.txtECHO RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i \"Adobe Reader 6.0.2 - Deutsch.msi\" /qb-!\"">>config.txtECHO ;!@InstallEnd@!>>config.txtCOPY /b 7zSC.sfx + config.txt + adobereader602.7z adobereader602.exeDEL 7zSC.sfxDEL config.txtDEL adobereader602.7zMy File Tree:CommonAppDataprogram filesSystem327za.exe7zS.sfxAdobe Reader 6.0.2 - Deutsch.msimake.batStartX.exeupx.exeThanks for reading.Sorry, for my bad englisch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 You've confirmed that the MSI works when called directly? Sounds like a corrupted MSI to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireForce Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Yes, I can confirm this.The MSI works perfect when called directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Yes, I can confirm this.The MSI works perfect when called directly.try renaming it to acrobat.msi and adjust config.txt accordingly. I'm wondering if StartX doesn't like two levels of quote marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireForce Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I have tried to rename the MSI File to acrobat.msi and adjusted the config.txt.Now, I get the same unknown error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireForce Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 When?

RyanVM Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 At one point in Windows setup are you trying to install it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireForce Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I Tried to install it on my current installed Windows, not at the Windows setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Is the error coming when the EXE tries to extract or when it tries to launch the MSI after extracting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireForce Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 The error Message occurs when the EXE tries to extract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 The error Message occurs when the EXE tries to extract.My bet is that it doesn't like config.txt.Try creating it in Notepad and be sure to save it as UTF-8.EDIT: Heck, you can probably open the existing config.txt and just do a File...Save As to convert it.

FireForce Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I've got it ... nearly.The problem was, That the 7-Zip command line utility created the adobereader602.7z archive in the adobereader602 folder. Thereby the adobereader602.7z were not combined with the 7zSC.sfx and config.txt into the adobereader602.exe.I have changed the following lines:...CD adobereader602..\7za.exe a "adobereader602.7z" -r -mx=7 -mfb=255 -md=48m *CD.....COPY /b 7zSC.sfx + config.txt + adobereader602.7z adobereader602.exe......7za.exe a "adobereader602.7z" -r -mx=7 -mfb=255 -md=48m *...COPY /b 7zSC.sfx + config.txt + adobereader602.7z adobereader602.exe...Now I have a new problem. I get an error Message from the Windows Installer.It says invalid Commadlineparameter (translated from german);!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i Adobe Reader 6.0.2 - Deutsch.msi /qb-!\"";!@InstallEnd@!The error is not from the /qb-! switch.
