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

AdbeRdr60_deu_full.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""

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

Nice tip, can anybody else confirm this works?

[Aaron]

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

Thanks ZoSTeR

[XtremeMaC]

does this work with the acrobat?

[Aaron]

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.

Attached File(s)

•  Rdr60ENU.mst (3.5K)
  Number of downloads: 88

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

[beppemito]

and for runonceex?what's the syntax?

[ZoSTeR]

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?

[Aaron]

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?
