muiz Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Um, it may be easier for all to just use the new AdbeRdr705_enu_full.exe file that Adobe has. It can install an up-to-date copy of 7.0.5 and interestingly can "update" existing installations. If, for example, you had 7.0.3 installed by using the 7.0 msi and the 3 updates, the new installer will remove all of those and put a plain 7.0.5 install. The standard /v/qn works just fine as a switch, however, it will reboot the computer if AR had already been installed. I haven't tested it, but I bet the standard Reboot=ReallySupress will work.Going to test it right now, thx for the infoNo switchless installers of this version yet?

dale5605 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) My switchless installer is working. I downloaded the full 7.0.5 version from here:http://www.filehippo.com/download_adobe_acrobat_reader.htmlThen I renamed it to adobe.exe and ran C:\adobe.exe /aThen with the administrative install files I made the switchless and used adobe.msi /qb-! /norestartSeems to work fine, although I don't know how to remove the adobe reader speed launch, does anyone know how? A special switch like with java maybe?It would also be nice if I could remove the help files but it doesn't work when I do so I'm not sure how to do that either.

Bendes Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 OK I got it. Just downloaded the full 7.05 release. Installed it and grabbed the msi and the data1.cab out of the %programfiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files folder. Then I start the msi with the following cmd:AdobeReader705.msi TRANSFORMS=AdobeReader70.mst /qb-! /norestartThe mst file of version 7.0 still works for me, so the Yahoo button and the license agreement are removed.I'm just curious, what the "!" in the "/qb-!" switch means?Here is the help from MSIEXEC.EXE (who starts the setup of a MSI) :msiexec /Option <Required Parameter> [Optional Parameter]Install Options </package | /i> <Product.msi> Installs or configures a product /a <Product.msi> Administrative install - Installs a product on the network /j<u|m> <Product.msi> [/t <Transform List>] [/g <Language ID>] Advertises a product - m to all users, u to current user </uninstall | /x> <Product.msi | ProductCode> Uninstalls the productDisplay Options /quiet Quiet mode, no user interaction /passive Unattended mode - progress bar only /q[n|b|r|f] Sets user interface level n - No UI b - Basic UI r - Reduced UI f - Full UI (default) /help Help informationRestart Options /norestart Do not restart after the installation is complete /promptrestart Prompts the user for restart if necessary /forcerestart Always restart the computer after installationLogging Options /l[i|w|e|a|r|u|c|m|o|p|v|x|+|!|*] <LogFile> i - Status messages w - Nonfatal warnings e - All error messages a - Start up of actions r - Action-specific records u - User requests c - Initial UI parameters m - Out-of-memory or fatal exit information o - Out-of-disk-space messages p - Terminal properties v - Verbose output x - Extra debugging information + - Append to existing log file ! - Flush each line to the log * - Log all information, except for v and x options /log <LogFile> Equivalent of /l* <LogFile>Update Options /update <Update1.msp>[;Update2.msp] Applies update(s) /uninstall <PatchCodeGuid>[;Update2.msp] /package <Product.msi | ProductCode> Remove update(s) for a productRepair Options /f[p|e|c|m|s|o|d|a|u|v] <Product.msi | ProductCode> Repairs a product p - only if file is missing o - if file is missing or an older version is installed (default) e - if file is missing or an equal or older version is installed d - if file is missing or a different version is installed c - if file is missing or checksum does not match the calculated value a - forces all files to be reinstalled u - all required user-specific registry entries (default) m - all required computer-specific registry entries (default) s - all existing shortcuts (default) v - runs from source and recaches local packageSetting Public Properties [PROPERTY=PropertyValue]Consult the Windows ® Installer SDK for additional documentation on thecommand line syntax.

dale5605 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I would recommend to download Vid0's version. He did a much better job than me. Adobe Reader 7.0.5 English Lite Unattended 6Mb uploaded here: http://rapidshare.de/files/6381465/AR705.exe.html This version is without msvcr71.dll library file. This file is missed intentionally to reduce size of the installer. AR705.EXE will not work or even install on clean Windows XP. Why I removed this file? Because it's a very common DLL library and it is installed by other applications like Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 or K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.38. So you must install Adobe Reader Lite AFTER these applications on your Unattended CD.And if you really need a version with msvcr71.dll inside, here it is: http://rapidshare.de/files/6399413/AR705a.exe.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdorsey Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Wow.. this one was a pain. I found a Adobe KB article on this one.http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/330817.htmlThe part that worked for me was:msiexec /p Ac705RDP_efgj.msp REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL /qnThey had a diffrent MSP file, but I changed it to the file I had and it worked with no UI (/qn switch).Hope this helps someone. I'd install the 7.05 full, but I just finished installing the 7.00 and fixing the people who had the full blown so it would use the full version and not the reader.Sean Dorsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrf2027 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Does anybody know if Adobe has released a "basic" version of 7.0.5 Reader, as opposed to the full 20 MB download? I really don't like the full version of Adobe Reader 7.0.5, and have tried to patch my prior administrative install of Adobe Reader 7.0.0 Basic without success.On the other hand, if anybody has had any luck patching an administrative install with this patch...please share!

ran Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Has anyone a MST-file where is no link on desktop, no update and no-EULA-accept for deploying via group policy?As an alternative, just do a quick .reg add during your unattended setup for those things. That's what I've setup.Ran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historic Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Has anyone a MST-file where is no link on desktop, no update and no-EULA-accept for deploying via group policy?Hi, attached .mst file to no link to desktop, no update, no eula, no optimization, no sl.exe in startup folder, no ads and a bunch of other tweaks for v7.0.5.If applying mst to fullfile.exe, make sure to pass the complete path of .mstCan anyone help me disabling that pageunit display which keeps flashing at the bottom left corner every now and then when scrolling through document?Ya I am quiet aware of individual page height and width but to flash it on every page just gets annoying. Thanks adobe.I tried many possible combinations of reg tweaks without success.8.5" x 11" grrr.Adobe_Reader_7.0.5.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
