RyanVM Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 My 7zip installer is about 20.4MBif its not too much trouble, could you post a list of the optimizations youve added?thx Pretty much all of the registry optimizations given in this thread, except one or two things. I left the purchase acrobat reader option enabled, for example (I personally don't see a point in disabling it if it's still there). I have the EULA accepted already, ads disabled, automatic updating disabled, splash screen (theoretically) disabled, yahoo bar disabled. That's all I remember off the top of my head.

Incroyable HULK Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 At least can I put something in my code so it will wait ...let's say 1 minute?Maybe not elegant but could be a correct workaround for what I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanVM Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I think that's everything. For some reason, the reg tweak to disable the splash screen doesn't seem to work unless you enter the preferences and then close them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war59312 Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 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.Was beta testing. Its all good I worked it out. heheDid not really care, not main machine and had ghost backup ust in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war59312 Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Here are some helpful registry keys I pulled out of the 7.0 MSI:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown]"bEFIPrintMe"=dword:00000000"bPurchaseAcro"=dword:00000000"bShowEbookMenu"=dword:00000000"bUpdater"=dword:00000000"bShowAdsAllow"=dword:00000000Meanings:"bEFIPrintMe"= Remove the "PrintMe Internet Printing" menu item on File menu."bPurchaseAcro"= DISABLE (NOT remove) the "Purchase Adobe Acrobat" menu item under Help menu."bShowEbookMenu"= Remove the "Digital Editions" menu item on File menu.(This can also be done by disabling the entire eBookEBXPlugin Feature)."bUpdater"= Remove the "Check for updates now..." menu item under Help menu."bShowAdsAllow"= Remove the Ad box.And there are a ton more. Check under the "EnterpriseRegistry" table of the MSI.Thanks a lot!!What do you mean by:"And there are a ton more.

RichardK Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Adobe also has a redistributable file available on their website, so you don't have to start the install to get the .msi file:ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/...distrib_enu.exeDoes anyone have RyanVM's Adobe Acrobat 7 install file for download? I tried accessing his FTP site, but it's not working at the moment. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staples Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 it was requested that I make some changes to my mst file.Now it has: (all in this forum) No desktop icon EULA accepted ads disabled, automatic updating disabled, splash screen (theoretically) disabled, yahoo bar disabled. reboot suppressed. Removed the "PrintMe Internet Printing" menu item on File menu DISABLED (NOT remove) the "Purchase Adobe Acrobat" menu item under Help menu. Remove the "Digital Editions" menu item on File menuAnd it has been optimized with the plugins in the optional directory.to use type at the command line or in batch file msiexec /i "Adobe Reader 7.0.msi" TRANSFORMS="Adobe Reader 7.0 tuned.mst" /qb- (to make completely silent change /qb- to /qn)Adobe_Reader_7.0.mst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe User 99 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Thanks a lot!!What do you mean by:"And there are a ton more. Check under the "EnterpriseRegistry" table of the MSI."Thanks, WillI mean, open the MSI using a MSI editor, such as Orca, WinInstallLE, etc.there is a table called "EnterpriseRegistry". It lists a bunch of registry keys you can set to disable or pre-set certain options, such as the ones I listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe User 99 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Got a little bonus for all you concerning the Stupid Yahoo Button:Previously registry keys were given to "hide" it. But I think I have got a way to remove it completly.It does require editing either a transform or the MSI itself using Orca or similar MSI editor though.Here is what I did:First, I am not installing the Updater Feature at all. Since I am preping to distribute this to our entire enterprise, rather than just disable the Updates, I just don't install it. This will matter in the modification below. You either need a Feature you are not installing, or you need to create a new Feature.Go to the FeatureComponents Table. The Component you are looking for is "Reader_WebSearch_WebSearchENU.pdf". Change this Component's Feature to one you are not installing, for example, I changed it to Updater, since I am not installing the Updater feature. Then either save the MSI or create a Transform from it. That's it!I then tested by installing on a clean machine. Opened a PDF in both the standalone application, and in IE. And No stupid Yahoo bar! Not only that, but right clicking on the toolbar, shows no option to enable it either! B) NOTE: When testing this, you need to uninstall any previously installed copies.The changes won't take effect if 7.0 is already installed, it will just use a cached copy of the MSI instead.Hope this works for you all as well as it did for me!
