nitro322 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I'm sure you can find a thorough description of this process by searching the forum, but the short answer (off the top of my head) is that you first need to unpack the downloaded installer by running it, copying the installer files out of %PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader\Setup, existing the downloaded installer, then using standard Windows Installer switches on the .msi installer. In my case, my installation command looks like this:msiexec.exe /package "Adobe Reader 7.0.8.msi" /quiet /norestart ALLUSERS=2Like I said, though, searc the forums and you can get much more detailed information, including links to pre-packaged silent installers.

HwagPo Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Here's a portion of my runonceex file which you might be able to use for your batch file:REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.05" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%:\APPS\ADBRDR7\ADBRDR7.msi /qn EULA_ACCEPT=YES" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 2 /D "msiexec /p %CDROM%:\APPS\ADBRDR7\Upd705.msp /qn REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 3 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%:\APPS\ADBRDR7\AcRdr7.reg" /ffirst line runs the msi file for installing acrobat reader 7. you can use msiexec as nitro322 suggested to run it.2nd line installs the update to 7.0.5 (I didn't want to download the full one so I just downloaded the update)last line is just for applying the registry tweaks i wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totoymola Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) This is what I use for basic installation.START /W MSIEXEC /I "Adobe Reader 7.0.8.MSI" /QB!- EULA_ACCEPT=YES Edited November 1, 2006 by totoymola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosh Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 HiI used the Adobe Installation tuner available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2709With this you can create an install set that accepts the EULA, stop creation of desktop icon and make silent. (Amongst other things although they're the options i used). It does seem that it just does the same as the above line though.Maybe useful, maybe not, Just thought i'd share.
