For adobe you're using the wrong switch's. I suggest you get the switchless version from http://www.whatcounter.com/dlcount.php?id=...s/reader705.exe

As keytotime said, your switches for Adobe are wrong. I'd suggest getting RyanVM's version, which needs no switches, and has been tested time and time again.

Switches are dependant on the installer that you're using. It could also be that the switches for Thunderbird are not correct for the version that you're using. Check through the application switches thread and use the search engine to find the proper switches that you need.


Just FYI, anything that uses an .msi file to install, you can always find the switches very easily by running msiexec /? in a command window. You'll get all the generic switches there. Some installers have extra switches that you'll have to look up though.
