[JohnS]

Dutch works

but i can't copy the code for ar.bat directly to notepad

the code had no enters, so i hade to copied it first to word

but ok, very much thank you well done

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It works perfectly well with the best browser: Firefox

Thanks, Nilfred and it_ybd, I will try to study things and see what happens.

I will give news later on.

Nilfred, I can edit my post, as you can see. The button is in the same place

Two things:

1- I tried with portuguese version.

All went ok, but after installing, the version installed is 7.0.

This is very strange because AcroRd32.exe and AcroRd32.dll are version 7.0.1.

2- After Nilfred suggestion and some search, I am using this line:

ECHO RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i %MsiName% /qb\ INSTALLDIR=c:\Programas\Util\AcrobatReader\"">>config.txt

How can I insert a space between Acrobat and Reader?

I know it has to do with blackslash but I cannot get it right.

@JohnS:

1.

Are you refering to what version is mentioned in Add/Remove Programs? If so, we've already mentioned it a while back *here - if not, then can you explain a bit more?

2.

If you're gonna add the space, try this:

ECHO RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i %MsiName% /qb  INSTALLDIR=\"c:\Programas\Util\Acrobat Reader\"\"">>config.txt

(the last " shouldn't need a \ as there's none on the one by the startx part - is only needed inside the initial statement - if u see my meaning )

You don't want the \ after the /qb as the INSTALLDIR parameter is part of the msi command - hope I haven't forgot any "'s or \'s but i think that should be it. It all depend's whether the msi will allow a alternative location, but i imagine it would

Let me/us know if it works.

Regards,

N.

The reg tweaks are REQUIRED. At least the grouped first. Try again applying the registry entries mentioned.

1- Shame on me

I should have read more carefuly the first post!

I imported Reader7.reg.

But now I can say:

It works with portuguese version!

Both full and light.

2- In light version one just have to replace this line:

CD "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrBig\"

for this

CD "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrMin\"

And it doesn't copy rt3d.dll.

But everything seems to be working.

3- it_ybd

Thanks for your suggestion, but it is not working also.

So, for now I removed the space.

4- And my line is as follows:

ECHO RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i %MsiName% /qb EULA_ACCEPT=YES INSTALLDIR=c:\Programas\Util\AcrobatReader\"">>config.txt

The program installs where I want to and does not show EULA at first run.

The EULA trick I tooke from here.

5- Nilfred, what exactly do those tweaks from Reader7tw.reg?

Thank you all for your help.

[Nilfred]

The only snag with this process is that the Add/Remove Programs entry only displays Adobe Reader 7.0 (with no indication of an update) but its not too much off a problem right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Even if I add the necessary regs for "Adobe Acrobat 7.0.1 and Reader 7.0.1 update" uninstall entry, it do not uninstall.

Both full and light.

2- In light version one just have to replace this line:

CD "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrBig\"

for this

CD "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrMin\"

And it doesn't copy rt3d.dll.

Nice discover! I could search for the install type automatically, so you don't need to worry about batch editing...

5- Nilfred, what exactly do those tweaks from Reader7tw.reg?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I dunno, just did the copy and paste trick

You can get rid of the EULA this way also:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\AdobeViewer]
"EULA"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\AdobeViewer]
"EULA"=dword:00000001

My acrobatreader.exe is at 22MB. When I try to run it it will first extract, and then I get the following error.

Can not find setup.exe

Any ide?

[tarquel]

You need to have acrobat 7 installed on the machine u are creating the package on.

Check "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrBig\ and make sure the setup files are there.

Regards - pm me if needed

My acrobatreader.exe is at 22MB. When I try to run it it will first extract, and then I get the following error.

Can not find setup.exe

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I had the same problem with the setup.exe. It is a problem with the config.txt and missing semicolons. It should look like

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i AdobeReader.msi /qb\""
;!@InstallEnd@!

I dont't know why, but browser seem to remove the spaces in the script. Try editing the ar.bat and insert spaces where I inserted underscores for the script to work:

IF EXIST Empty.txt ECHO_;!@Install@!UTF-8!>>config.txt
IF NOT EXIST Empty.txt ECHO_;!@Install@!UTF-8!>config.txt
ECHO RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i %MsiName% /qb\"">>config.txt
ECHO_;!@InstallEnd@!>>config.txt

At least it worked for me and the german version.

EDIT: Or just take the attached version from page 2

erm maybe i'm being thick but is there a way to make this installer totally silent, at the moment i get prompts for where i want to install it, other than that it works great.

[tarquel]

It shouldn't be asking you for anything if you have followed the methods in this topic

I'd suggest browsing to ***this*** point and get the attached file to use as the batch file.

And also re-read the whole topic too.

Let us know if u still have trouble.
