mrfinch Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I am tring to make Adobe Acrobat 6 professional unattended. The /qn switch works but the program does not install becuase it requires a serial key. I have filled out Abcpy.ini and now what? When I come to solution I will post it. prehaps I should try the executable instead of the msi. (the msi is a smaller file size) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfinch Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 yes, once i ran the executable with the abcpy.ini it worked. I wish i knew the MSI switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spachtler Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 i used an msi-editor and remove all dialogs. so i install it without anyswitches and it dont ask me anything. the serial is stored in the registry,but as RAW-format, not as 11111-1111- and so on:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\6.0\Registration]"SERIAL"="970789777786xxxxxx352970""PRODREG"=dword:6568xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgut Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Go to notepad and enter the following:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\6.0\Registration]"SERIAL"="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"(your serial #)[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\6.0\Registration]"SERIAL"="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"Then save the file as AcroPro.reg or whatever and put it in with your batch file or regtweaks and that's all there is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdmcmahon Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Better yet, modify the abcpy.ini sections that deal with silents. For example:[OEM Install]ISX_SERIALNUMBER=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ( no dashes )USERNAME=UserCOMPANYNAME=OEMINSTALLDIR=c:\progra~1\adobe\acrobat6ALLOW_LOCKDOWN_BROWSE=YESALLOW_LOCKDOWN_MEDIA=YESARPHELPLINK=ARPHELPTELEPHONE=ARPNOMODIFY=;ARPNOMODIFY=YES disables the "Change" button in Add/Remove ProgramsAssuming everything is entered correctly, it will install fully silent. I then use a batch to move, rename icons, etc.Thanks ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
