Lolly Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 @RyanVMYou Rule! Again, instructions for the slip-stream please?Nevermind - it seems the final 6.0.2 full installer is available - http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/read...distrib_enu.exe (34.7 MB).Thanks, we got nice ppl here. Links and instructions poppin' all over... If you look at it from a lazy-a**-point-of-view. Oh yeah, I am lazy. So, how does this need a switch or two when runnin' from RunOnceEx ? Like, perhaps:REG ADD %KEY%\023 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6.02" /fREG ADD %KEY%\024 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Ado\AdbeRdr602_distrib_enu.exe /QB" /f I think there's more to be done about that command, just woke up here about 30min ago and my brain refuse to think, sorry about that, im feeding coffee for it tho...I guess I could read back few pages also....

prathapml Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 @LollyNo, you can't just like that run "/QB" on the installer you downloaded. I wish it was that simple. I was referring to the updated installer saving us some effort....Anyways, what you need to do:1. Get the files extracted from the FEAD installer.2. Start the install in admin-install-point mode (with /A switch).3. RAR/SFX the resulting folder, use "/QB" switch when installing.How to do the above 3 steps? Please search - the above must've been discussed a zillion times by now....Sheesh - I'm getting lazy, telling you people to do all the dirty work of searching and finding instead of telling it here myself - but its just that its tiring to repeat the same thing...

RyanVM Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 The full installer is a cheap hack job at best. All it is is the regular MSI file with an MST file included (and CAB file with the 6.0.2 files). Basically, it's about twice the size that it has to be since it has both 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 included in it. To create an admin point with 6.0.2 integrated into it, follow these directions.1.) Download the full 6.0.2 redistributable (34.7MB)2.) Extract it to a folder using WinRAR3.) Rename the Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi file to acrobatreader.msi4.) Rename Rdr6020.mst to 602.mst5.) Run the follow command from a command prompt:msiexec /a acrobatreader.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\reader" TRANSFORMS=602.mstYou can obviously change the path you want the install point going to at your discretion.I've confirmed that the above works for creating a working 6.0.2 install point, which compresses down to 15MB using 7-zip and 16MB using WinRAR. A quick note, the MSI installer will still say 6.0.1 setup when launching, but the files are 6.0.2 (and the Adobe Reader splash screen confirms it when it launches).I'm working on playing with the MSI file right now to see if I can make the installer say the correct version along with doing some other stuff (like having it not create the PrintMe shortcuts).

prathapml Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Can't the "don't make PrintMe shortucts" setting be put into an MST? (just like you can do it for MS Office and such...) Not that I know how to do it - you leading here.That way, changes are minimal, and sharing is just a matter of a few KB download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 That's true, I hadn't thought of that to be honest with you. But if I can make the changes to the MSI file prior to putting it on the web, what's the difference? Regardless, anyone can make their own slipstreamed administrative install point now with the directions above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 what's the difference? Having to either download a much bigger installer, from your hosting and therefore drain it, or download just a 50 KB MST file and use my already existing merged version. That's the difference. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I recall I posted something about PrintMe on my thread of WinINSTALL LE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, I can't edit the actual shortcut because WinINSTALL LE bitches about a missing icon or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4ever Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 i have acrobat pro 6. is their anyway to slipstream the updates into it? everytime i try it says that it doesnt support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 For some reason, I can't edit the actual shortcut because WinINSTALL LE bitches about a missing icon or something.I thought it's easier to delete or disable the whole feature of PrintMe. This should prevent everything related to it from installing, as you know. Who needs it all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the Acrobat Reader shortcut, not PrintMe's. That was easy to kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilvoice Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 uhm, does this version still have the wisptis problem, where wisptis gets loaded everytime you start reader, but once you close reader, wisptis is still running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
