remyblade Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 instmsia.exeinstmsiw.exeThese you can safely remove, but as far as i know you need the rest.RemyBlade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike500 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 You can also remove setup.exe. It will be installed via the (then renamed) AR6.msi anyway. You gotta rename it to AR6.msi because it's not found otherwise (had to learn the hard way...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muiz Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 This is how you make a Adobe MSI package1. Run the .exe for Reader 6.0 you downloaded from Adobe 2. It will say "Recomposing data" and create a folder structure called:C:\WINDOWS\Cache\Adobe Reader 6.0\ENUBIG*3. That folder will be populated with the MSI and supporting files you need. No capture needed. 4. The command line to install it (if you're inclined to use the command line) is:msiexec /i "Adobe Reader 6.0.msi" TRANSFORMS=Rdr60ENU.mst /q*depents on languageu dont need setup.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eirogge Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 do it as muiz said but rename Adobe Reader 6.0.msi to something handy like AR6.msi and just leave AR6.msi and data1.cab in your install directory.anything else is not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incroyable HULK Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 If you want to save space on your CD and also keep the original Adobe Reader 6, here is my solution.Just use the original .exe you downloaded. No need to extract.Run with this command in RunOnceEx.cmdREG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6.0.1" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader\AdobeReader6.exe -p\"-s /v\"/qn\"\"" /f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
