Acrobat Reader 7 install problems

Perhaps Adobe Reader tries to repair the installation because you move out plugins that AR needs..my cmd file for the AR cleanup is the following and it works perfectly.

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
%SYSTEMDRIVE%
CD "%programfiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader"
RD Optional /S /Q
RENAME Plug_Ins Optional
MD  Plug_Ins
MOVE /Y Optional\Annotations Plug_Ins\Annotations
MOVE /Y Optional\eBook.* Plug_Ins
MOVE /Y Optional\EWH32.* Plug_Ins
MOVE /Y Optional\EScript.* Plug_Ins
MOVE /Y Optional\ImageViewer.* Plug_Ins
MOVE /Y Optional\Search.* Plug_Ins
MOVE /Y Optional\Search*.* Plug_Ins
MOVE /Y Optional\Spelling.* Plug_Ins
MOVE /Y Optional\weblink.* Plug_Ins

It isn't as lite as yours, but try it and then figure out what plugins AR needs.

I have the same problem too.

After the UA install of winxp, I launch adobe reader 7 for the first time.And then a MSI configuring window pops up asking me to insert FrontPage 2003 CD.

So..how to avoid that annoying window,anyone has got an idea?

- Windows installs

- at T-12 all applications installs

- First boot

- I open Acrobat Reader 7

- Launches a MSI windows syaing it's configuring acrobat reader.

- Pops up a "insert disk" error

I think the problem you are having is part of the MSI self healing process.

If you look in the Application Event log, it should mention what was missing.

Just a guess, but most likely it will be the HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys in the registry. I figure when you install it at the T-12 spot, that is not the same HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive as your account. So when the check is run, it finds those missing and repairs itself.

If this is the problem, what you would need to do, would be to remove the KeyPath check for all the current user keys in the MSI.

Now, this is just a guess, as I am not installing mine during windows setup.

But have a look. Hope it helps.
