I want to use the abcpy.ini file to control a silent install of Acrobat 6 Pro.

I can easily modify the abcpy.ini to include:
ISX_SERIALNUMBER
USERNAME
COMPANYNAME

I want to customize further, but do not know the abcpy.ini modifications. I used the following commands in a different Adobe application, but they do not work with Acrobat 6 Pro:

DisplayWelcomeDlg=NO
DisplayEULA=NO
DisplayTypeOfInstallDlg=NO
DisplaySelectDestDirDlg=YES
DisplayCustomDlg=NO
DisplayUserInfoDlg=NO
DisplayConfirmRegDlg=NO
DisplayStartCopyDlg=NO
DisplayFinishDlg=NO
DisplayFinalMessage=NO
DisplayRebootDlg=NO


Does anyone know the appropriate commands to accomplish customization of Acrobat 6 Pro using abcpy.ini?

Thanks,

DW

how did you install Acrobat 6 Pro with an mst file?

Did you try the free InstallShield Tuner 6.0.1 for Adobe Acrobat from Adobe?

thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

ok for the life of me i cannot get this to work.

here's where i'm getting stuck at:

i've created the mst file, but do i call the mst file from
-the original setup.exe
-the acropro.msi
-or the setup.exe that i can create from the packager
???

and when i call it out, what is the syntax? i thought i knew it but none of them are working.

as far as i knew, it should have worked just doing this:

acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=d:\acro6\test.mst /qn

(obviously the path is just a test one on my system)

Your forgot to add msiexec.exe to the front of your command:

msiexec.exe acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=d:\acro6\test.mst /qn

See this link: Command-Line Switches for the Microsoft Windows Installer Tool

i tried that also, and i tried creating the setup.exe package with the tool that is supposed to automatically point to the mst file. nothing seems to work for me.

and in my batch script (i think i'm the only one who hasnt switched to runonceex) i never had to call out to msiexec, the msi's always worked directly.

nevermind, i figured out what i did wrong....

yes i used installshield tuner to create the .mst file and then I used the switch that MRWumpus said...

Neither acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=d:\acro6\test.mst /qn or msiexec.exe acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=d:\acro6\test.mst /qn will work for me has anyone else had this problem ?

I guess no one else is having this problem.

I have pm'ed disgraceful33 for the solution he came up with but have had no response.

I am hoping someone will help me with this problem.

I just found this link:
http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.html

perhaps the switches there can help you

I've tried this with 6.0 Pro, but there is no .iwt file when you first start the tuner.

I'm having this same problem here, no iwt file...

I had the same problem, could not install silent Acrobat 6. It took me two days to figured it out. This was the instruction that made it work for me.

AcroPro.msi /QR TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst

Before that I created the mst file with Adobe Acrobat Tuner. It is important to tick the "Response Transform". The wizard starts and stops when it have collected everything he need. Than you can silent install Acrobat.

In my enthousiasm I created an install.cmd file that installs Acrobat 6 Pro. After that it installs the update. Reboot is supressed. Here is the code

echo
start /wait AcroPro.msi /QR TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst
start /wait msiexec /p Ac60PrP1.msp /QR REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS
exit

Works fine for me when the files are on hard drive.

Problem:
I do not copy to hard drive first then install, I have mine launch from the CD. When I get about 3/4 of the way through the 6.0.1 update it stops the installation and prompts me to insert the AcroPro CD.

Anyone else having this problem or have a solution for it ?

I prefer to install my apps from CD not the hard drive to speed up the process.

Hi. I've downloaded the Adobe Install Tuner but when starting it, it asks me to show it where the .ITW file is located. I can't do this unless I show it. Why is this?

I also am having this problem, any ideas?

It should be included in a legitimate version. Ask Adobe for it, they will help you with this problem unless you have a pirated version !!!!

Okay, I'll email them.

CAN SOMEBODY MAIL ME THE ITW FILE FOR ADOBE TUNER?
THANKS IN ADVANCE

PLEASE DON'T TYPE IN CAPITALS

Thank you.

eeeh.....sorry wrong forum

Why should you download Adobe Tuner (16 MB), if you can download WinINSTALL (12 MB) to do the job with only the two files: msi + cab? No need for itw!

WinINSTALL can be used with any msi apps, but the tuner is limited to Acrobat.
