Does anyone know howto perform a silent install of the Acrobat Reader Update 7.0.3?

The /S/v/qn switch which is given by the help doesn't work.

It also would be a great help, to have the update as msi-file, but I couldn't find it.

When you run the .exe, it extracts the .msi to \Program Files\Adobe\ in there you will find a folder with the msi in.

That's it. Very much thanks

Acro-Reader_703_Update.exe /S /v/qn

I noticed an .msi response has been posted for you,

but I'd like to clarify hj_fr's post.

Acro-Reader_703_Update.exe /S /v/qn

Note the space between the S and following /

I did a quickie command line run of 7.0.3 update with your original post (acted like a normal install Next next..) but hj_fr's line (with the space) installed just fine. It installed so quickly that I uninstalled and reinstalled the update with qb just to see the progress bar! About-> Reader verified 7.0.3 update took!

What's a silent install? What is the benefit of a silent install?

SILENT

What about /quiet /norestart ??

I use this switch tested ok on RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Adobe Acrobat Reader 7" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AdobeReader7\AdbeRdr7.0.exe -q /s /v/qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AdobeReader7\7.0.1Update.msi /quiet /norestart" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AdobeReader7\7.0.2Update.msi /quiet /norestart" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 4 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AdobeReader7\7.0.3Update.msi /quiet /norestart" /f
