The official Adobe Reader switches require you to unpack it first.
But you can install it directly from the FEAD installer:



Replace the "deu" (german) with whatever version you have.

Nice tip, can anybody else confirm this works?

Yup it works, that's a saving of 10-15mb on my CD then

Thanks ZoSTeR

does this work with the acrobat?

doubt it, the -p seems to be a Feed package switch, executing a /s /v/qn inside it

Here's and MST file for Adobe Reader 6.0 that will not put the icon on the desktop and the Internet Printing folder on the Start Menu.

If anyone wants to use that command in an inf file this is the syntax:

HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install01",1,,"%10%\Apps\Adobe6\AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe -p"""-s /v\"""/qn\"""

-gosh

and for runonceex?what's the syntax?

One small addition:

The FEAD installer leaves a temp folder named "Cache" in the windows directory.
You might wanna clean that up.

Agenta,

How did you make the MST file for the Acrobat Reader MSI? I had used WinstalLE do edit the MSI file directly to remove the desktop icon and Internet Printing, but I would rather use a transform file.

Thanks,

Nick

what is the batch file command to remove the cache directory after installation?

RD "%systemroot%\Cache\Adobe Reader 6" /S /Q

So, this method can apply to ANY FEADER installations you'd like to run off the CD?

When does it initiate internet access?
