laderio Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 My Windows says it is a "Windows Installer-Patch", so /qp or /qn should work, like with msi...When you start this msp with /? it shows also a list you can use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Symbiosis Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) The Update didn't work for me, even with a normal install, but I used a modified Acrobat Reader, I found somewhere in this forum, but I found out, that there is a full Version with all updates included available at adobe.com. I'm am now trying, which switches are working.Edit: The /v/qn works fine for the full version Edited October 14, 2005 by Doc Symbiosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaletik Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) OK I got it. Just downloaded the full 7.05 release. Installed it and grabbed the msi and the data1.cab out of the %programfiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files folder. Then I start the msi with the following cmd:AdobeReader705.msi TRANSFORMS=AdobeReader70.mst /qb-! /norestartThe mst file of version 7.0 still works for me, so the Yahoo button and the license agreement are removed.

Bendes Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Normally you can slipstream the msp in the original msi with this command:msiexec /p <path>\adobe.msp /a <path>\adobe.msi /qbBut you can also simply download the full setup in version 7.05 at the Adobe website...

laderio Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) Isn't there an msi which you can download direct from adobe, without need to use a .cab?I think I have seen such a link once, but doen't remember where...

Dynaletik Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm just curious, what the "!" in the "/qb-!" switch means?I think it disables the cancel button in the upcoming window. Not sure any longer. I install all my .msi apps with this switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snekul Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Um, it may be easier for all to just use the new AdbeRdr705_enu_full.exe file that Adobe has. It can install an up-to-date copy of 7.0.5 and interestingly can "update" existing installations. If, for example, you had 7.0.3 installed by using the 7.0 msi and the 3 updates, the new installer will remove all of those and put a plain 7.0.5 install. The standard /v/qn works just fine as a switch, however, it will reboot the computer if AR had already been installed. I haven't tested it, but I bet the standard Reboot=ReallySupress will work.
