I only edit English Version...~ 7-zip: Rapid Share Live Share Exe(Extra...): Rapid Share Live Share EDITTED by Shark007 - to give notice, there is no need to post the same information twice, i deleted your other post. also, your edits may have gotten better 'attention' if you had discuss it with me 1st and hopefully I would have agreed to use them in my releases. I do not have the time to install/compare whatever it is you changed. If it is cosmetic only, I would not have used them anyway. This post has been edited by Shark007: Jul 28 2008, 04:54 AM

It's missing AcroForm.api from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins Could you please release a version that includes AcroForm.api otherwise we cannot work with fillable PDFs. thanks for the excellent work!

Now I'm trying to use ar9lite_eng.exe and /sAll doesn't work. It comes up with the msiexec.exe help window. Is there a new silent install switch? I see that the installer is, in fact, unattended. But I was just wondering if it was possible to make it invisible. Thanks for your great work, Shark. It's much appreciated!

The user whom initially brought form filling to my attention also tested that api and stated it didnt work. bottom line .... if adding that api corrects the issue as you state, I will re-release all 9.0 versions with the fix intact. I have not had time to test any of this . . . pending shark

Group: Members Posts: 7 Joined: 28-December 07 Member No.: 168675 OS: XP Pro x86	One more suggestion: rather than deleting the plugins completely, move them to the Optional folder (peer with plug_ins). Yes, the installer will be bigger, but at least the plugins are there for users that need some of them, they can just be moved back into plug_ins, as needed. Or release an Optional.7z file with just the extra plugins. It's a pain to install the full v9 somewhere else just to copy 1-2 plugins that a user may need.

If you need additional plugins, install the original full version. And if you just want these 1 or 2 files, make an sfx archive to extract them in your UA-DVD.

I wonder if your lite version (specifically 9.0) could coexist with it, and don't mess things up if it's uninstalled someday? Thanks for your great work!

Thanks for your great work! yes you can install it AFTER the Pro installation to have it handle reading PDF documents. The installer is still Adobe's, I only modified it to reduce the unwanted bloat it installa. shark

Please keep in mind the purpose of these installers. UNATTENDED MEDIA. They are not designed for desktop use. They are not designed to deal with previous installations (even though it was uninstalled) The error only occurs if you had previously installed the full version. If you wish to avoid the error, you could try repackaging and renaming the contained msi from ar.msi to AcroRead.msi but this is not tested. shark

This will certainly work.

Would you consider removing the registration (and unregistration, of course) of AcroRd32Info.exe in future releases? The 9.0 version leaves a lot of DCOM errors in my event viewer. Yes they are safe, but still unpleasant to the eyes. Thanks again for your nice work! PS. I deleted the registration info under HKCR and HKLM (with backup), and no errors are issued now.
