Adobe Reader 6.02 silent install


Recommended Posts


Well, some people might not want those little "CE" markings on their Reader. :P

But I have to say I'm having a hell of a time installing AdbeRdr602_distrib_enu.exe silently. I've tried extracting and not, I've tried different switches, nothing works right. I'm sure there is a way, I just can't find it. Any thoughts?

Whats the CE for?

I hope it stands for Big ePeen? Foot long...

:lol:

Well, this is the first time im trying that CE version, unattended silently and all that.

I did install it as a test on VM, had to get that .msi file etc. but I doubt my first attemp will

work.

:D

Well, I decided to just make an auotit script for it:

; --- Start ---

Run("\\server\winxp$\apps\Adobe\AR602\AdbeRdr602_distrib_enu.exe")

Sleep(5000)

WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader 6.0.2 - Setup")
Sleep(5000)
Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader 6.0.2 - Setup")
Sleep(500)
Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader 6.0.2 - Setup")
Sleep(500)
Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader 6.0.2 - Setup")
Sleep(500)
Send("{ENTER}")

Sleep(40000)

WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader 6.0.2 - Setup")
Sleep(500)
Send("{ENTER}")

; --- End ---

If anyone has a way to install AdbeRdr602_distrib_enu.exe silently with switches, I'd be very interested. :yes:

If you extract it with WinRAR, you will see this isn't really 6.02. It is really 6.01.msi and 6.02.mst.

0x0409.ini
Abcpy.ini
Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi
Data1.cab
instmsia.exe
instmsiw.exe
Rdr602.mst
Rdr6020.cab
Rdr60ENU.itw
setup.exe
Setup.ini

Yeah, I noticed that. If you run setup.exe by itself, you end up with 6.0.1. So I guess "AdbeRdr602_distrib_enu.exe" is 6.0.1 full and 6.0.2 update running together. I'm sure the end result is the same, but it's nice to have one package, and only one Add/Remove entry. i'm kind of anal that way. :P

The install point worked (I tested it successfully on one of my own computers). I'm going to pack it into an EXE and post a link in awhile.

....waiting....

:P

I was trying to hassle around with the CE version but I found out that

I have free MB's on the iSO and I could also RAR the install folder too.

Basically it means that I can add stuff to it, which is always cool.

More stuff is better, much better.

:D
