Adobe Reader from DVD?

[BoardBabe]

It "skips" Adobe Reader 6 when installing from DVD.

start /wait %CDROM%\Apps\AdobeReader6\AdbeRdr60_nor_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""

App does not get installed and I get no error. (does not extract to c:\windows\cache either)

Use the .msi files instead. Faster and works flawlessly. (and from CD or DVD... doesn't matter, it's the same deal)

[BoardBabe]

I tried to use the .msi and files that is extraced to %windir%\cache when launching the exe in first post, but this also failed the same way. Can you give me a code example?

[jbm]

try this, ot works for me -p\"-s /v\"/qn\"\""

It looks like your missing a slash after the -p

[BoardBabe]

Ooops yeah i was missing that slash.

Does this work for you installing from the CDROM without copying to HDD ($1\Install) ?

That's the right place to get the files. Make sure you keep all you need, not just the msi files.

Syntax wise, it's like every other msi package, I use:

"%CDROM%\install\AReader 6\Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi" /QB
"%CDROM%\install\AReader 6\602update.msi" /QB

And it's never failed so far. (then I got a vbscript to tweak the install)

[BoardBabe]

How did you extract the msi from Acro-Reader_6.0.2_Update.exe?

If you're using the English version, here's a switchless installer for 6.0.2 (only 15MB too):

using norwegian

[CoffeeFiend]

It extracts to your temp folder. Most likely:

C:\Document And Settings\Current_User_Name\Local Settings\Temp

(or whatever that turns out to be in norwegian)
