pinout Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 hmm.. I like my method (FOR %%x IN (AdbeRdr*_enu.exe) DO START "" /WAIT "%%x" /s /v/qn) because all I have to do is drop the ORIGINAL installer executable into the directory and not have to modify any files or copy over the MSI and whatnot.. I like doing everything from original files Plus when a new version comes out I can just drop it in the directory and not modify anything else.But the problem I seem to have with this method is that the START command does indeed wait for the AdbeRdr70_enu.exe process to finish, but when its done it passes the rest of the install onto msiexec.exe - so it doesn't really wait for the complete install before moving onto the rest of my commands.. like removing the 'Adobe Reader 7.0.lnk' from the Desktop.Any ideas? and please dont suggest using a sleep command for x numbers of seconds, thats a dirty and inaccurate method Is it possible to perform an Administrative installation via command-line from the AdbeRdr70_enu.exe file? So I could create an admin install point and then install the MSI from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war59312 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 But it in a batch file or .cmd file. Then it wont continue untill the batch or .cmd file is done. For example:Install.cmd:ECHO Installing Adobe Reader 7.0start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Adobe7.cmdECHO.Adobe7.cmd@echo offConsoleTool /HIDEstart /wait msiexec /i "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader7\AdobeReader7.msi" EULA_ACCEPT=YES /qn REBOOT=Suppress /norestartEXITWell I finally got the crap to work. Darn start menu entry is stupid. Keeps wanting to reinstall. So figured just delete it and run. Nope wanted to keep reinstalling and I would point it to the correct file and it says its invalid. So I figured it out. Just deleted all shortcuts and made a new one pointing right to the .exe install and it works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigeratiPrime Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 So adobe releases 6.03 and then throws out 7.0 overnight. sheesh. Does the MST in this thread do anything for the 7.0 Basic Version? I downloaded the basic install and extracted the msi and cab, do i need anything else before i try my next unattended?

andrewpayne Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 @DigeratiPrime:You can always practice your unattended commands/mst by uninstalling Adobe 7 and installing on a working XP using the parameters mentioned. This will 'fine tune' for your Unattended batch or RunOnceEx.This is how I do it. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oioldman Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 @DigeratiPrimeonly need msi and cab to installAs you noticed on download, you have no Yahoo thingy (i maybe wrong), so no special switches needed.If your on XPSP2, you are using WindowsInstallerv3, so only switches needed are /quiet (no progress bar) /norestart (obvious)@war59312Why you using v6 Pro and v7 Reader? that to me is gonna cause a mess and would explain the error you got.

andrewpayne Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Here's my unattend command:AR70.msi TRANSFORMS=ar70.mst /passive /norestartapplied using the extracted msi/data1.cab from the Basic Adobe Reader 7 and the afore mentioned Transform mst file earlier in this Topic.Note that the /passive switch requires v3 windows installer (as in XPSP2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
