noelleon Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I was trying to update to Adobe 6.0.2 but unfortunately in the beginning of installing update i got the following error message which prompted me to stop the installation process, and honestly, I don't really know what to do further. Thanks alot for whatever assistance.InstallShield:Command line parameters:/L language ID/S Hide intialization dialog. For silent mode use: /S/v/qn/V parameters to MsiExec.exe/UA<url to InstMsiA.exe>/UW<url to InstMsiW.exe>/UM<url to msi package> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rendrag Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 how are you installing this? is this an silent install? if so, what switches are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelleon Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'm sorry but what are "switches"? and I also don't anything about "silent install" because my knowledge of computer is very much limited. I just simply go to www.adobe.com to download the adobe reader 7.0 . First I would be asked to choose language, platform, and connection speed, then I would be directed to the next page to start the download by pressing the 'Get Adobe Reader' button shown below. After saving the file in the c:/program files, the download starts, and after processing ADOBE READER up to 100%, the error message appears: InstallShield:Command line parameters:/L language ID/S Hide intialization dialog. For silent mode use: /S/v/qn/V parameters to MsiExec.exe/UA<url to InstMsiA.exe>/UW<url to InstMsiW.exe>/UM<url to msi package> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphaz Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Thanks a lot , but how should I find this member name? And why don't you simply give me his homepage if you know it? Please help me and I really appreciate it very much.Can you post a screenshot of your error message? (if you don't know how to make one, when it appears press together the keys Alt & Prt Scr, then paste into MSPAINT) or write the exact error you get.

noelleon Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 I have found his (ryanvm) homepage and downloaded the acroread7.exe, but while extracting the file there appears a new ERROR MESSAGE and I couldn't do anything else. Oh! my God.STARTX Failed in call to CreateProcess, Erorr:2I wanted to attach the screenshot of error message while updating adobe reader 6.0.2..........and this is the same error message i always get if I download and try to install adobe reader 7.0 from the website www.adobe.com, but unfortunately I cannot upload here this type of file. But anyway, here is again the exact error message: InstallShield:Command line parameters:/L language ID/S Hide intialization dialog.

Dobby Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) I get the same error with Ryans .NET Framework + SP1 packFailed in call to CreateProcess, Error:193I never got this when installing from RunOnce but now I've switched to RunOnceEx I get this error.Might be related.BTW Use FoxIt PDF Reader (much easier to install, much quicker to run. Adobe - Bloat = FoxIt!). The only thing I will say against it is that it takes a long time to print with my HP Laser Jet (This never happened with Adobe) FoxIt Software.EDIT: He! I just noticed this was from last year. Thought it was the Christmas just gone. Oops! Edited December 27, 2005 by Dobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
