Adobe Reader 9 Lite is not able to open this file:
http://www.adobe.com...3d_pdf_demo.pdf

It gives error on missing "Updater" plugin.

Here is a screenshot:


Hope it can be fixed

I made some tests:
I tried to copy updater.api and updater.ita files from full Adobe Reader 9 installation (I'm using italian version) and the message is fixed but it gives another error window just after with the message

"Impossible to display this document because a plug-in is missing" without specify the plugin name


I tried to copy all the plugins installed with full version, including 3d plugins folder but the message is still present.
Maybe some registry keys are missing...

I can confirm full Adobe Reader open the file correctly without any error message

Adobe Reader 9.0 Russian is released. Could you, please, make Adobe Reader 9.0 Russian Lite?

There are many Russian users at this site.
In fact, I think a Russian site similar to this one also exists. Maybe post my tutorial over there if you dont know how to do it yourself.
The crude step by step tutorial that documents exactly what I do when creating these releases is linked to in the 1st post.
I am non longer able to dedicate the time required to maintain all languages.
I will probably still release the English versions in the future.
All other languages will have to be done by others.

This is a non issue, although it is obviously an issue for you...
To resolve it, use the full version.

By design and documentd by me in the 1st post of this thread

I removed all (auto)update® features.

So to help you understand that statement...
Adobe Reader has more than 1 update feature as indicated by the (auto) portion and the ® symbol of the above statement.
'removed' means they do not exist in my releases.

I am not willing to assist you in re-adding removed features.
My suggestion: Use the tutorial to create your own personalized installer with the update features intact.

Hello Shark,
I can understand your point of view but I think there's a basic mistake.

I love your lite version of Adobe Reader because it is faster and lighter than the original one but this hasn't to "damage" program functionality.

With "functionality" I mean the ability to view ALL pdf files correctly like the full version.
If you release a lite version that runs faster but doesn't open all files safely, there's something wrong.

Currently I found a specific file that gives error when opened, a good developer should fix that.
Obviously you can remove all the plugins and files you want (this is one of the reasons it's called "lite") but I think it's a nonsense to remove files if they damage the program.

P.S.
BTW, I red "removed all auto-update features" and I understand the meaning (even if I'm not english mother-tong).
There's no need to be ironic.

Thanks a lot shark for the tutorial! I will try.
Wish you a good health and all the best. Thanks for your time!

I found a solution for the error I described in the previous posts

The problem is not related to updater plugin, this is a false cause.
Adobe asks for it because it doesn't find a .dll in the program folder and wants to update itself online to fix the error.

The problem is very simple: the file "rt3d.dll" is missing and it's needed for documents with graphic or similar datas.

Shark, if you want to accept a suggestion, just don't remove the dll from next lite versions and you will expand the compatibility of your tool in a few steps


Thanks a lot.

For comparison the Adobe Reader 9 msi is about 42.5 MB when unpacked in size. I use wimakcab to recompress it to a single MSI which installs much faster then the original installer. I see Adobe Reader 9 Lite is half the size, but on a recent computer size doesn't matter that much.

A year ago when there was nothing known in the English forums about 7zsd.sfx from Igor Pavlov (the script was there orginally in 2005), I've written here a tutorial. A few days after that 7zSD site was translated to English and that makes it populair. But the latest version of 7zSD from Igor Pavlov is from July 14, 2007 (1.2 RC1 build 715), then te code was optimalized with the source code of 7-Zip version 4.49 beta. Now a year later 7-zip is meantime by v4.60 and I saw in the extra binary package that 7zS.sfx and 7zSD.sfx (uses msvcrt.dll) are from august 2008.... so anyone know of the 7zSD from Igor Pavlov still is the best and the official 7zSD now also support more parameters?

As far as I'm aware of, 7zsd is work by Oleg Scherbakov and the only problem is that he's updating Russian version of his homepage 7zsfx.infoonly, the English version contains old informations. If you look at Russian pages, you'll find updated info. If you aren't familiar with Russian, here's link to download page. The stable version is 1.2.2 (based on 7-zip 4.57) from 26.7.2008, beta version 1.3 (based on 7-zip 4.58) is from 28.7.2008.

Simplified changelog:
from v1.2 RC1 715 to 1.2.2
code updated to 4.57
added information about used methods and filter in -sfxversion
Flag 4096 affects not only name of windows but picture in BeginPrompt dialog and BeginPrompt + ExtractPath too.
Fixed possible cursor lost when some app lost its focus.
icon change
increased number of possible AutoInstallX entries to 62
fixed internal errors
variables set by user weren't reflected in parameters for creating of folders

1.2.2 to 1.3 beta
code updated to 4.58
added info about used source codes in -sfxversion
add Flag 8 OverWriteMode for files blocked by system
module variable %%M - SFX Archive name without path

Sorry for incorrect translation - neither language is my native :-(

Actually I thought to myself "HEY! Super a new msi editing tool!"

Then I read the EULA and it fell into my recycle bin (The installer that is)

Quote

You may use this software for evaluation purposes for any length of time.

If you want to distribute setups made with the program, you must register your copy.

As a registered user You may use "QSetup Installation Suite" to make any setup for any number of products.

QSetup is licensed on a single license per developer/per machine basis. This includes an unlimited application distribution license, allowing you to deploy any number of applications per developer.

Man I hate apps that hide stuff like that. It did look nice though. Thanks for the link maybe I'll see what registration entails.

HOLY BOUNCING BEACH BALLS!!!

http://www.pantaray.com/register.html

Thats really expensive! Sorry but I am not even going to try it out.

That EULA is for QSetup Installation Suite, not for SuperOrca.

However, the original Orca still works on many setup files.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

It is seriously the EULA I got when I went to install Super ORCA.

They have "Bundled" the registered version. Thats why it says suite in it.

Here is a screen grab of the install proccess:



See on the top left? It says Super ORCA! But in the EULA it says the suite.

Great work X-FoRcE, this is the same issue I found in already published packages of Adobe 9 Lite
The missing rt3d.dll gives problem with some 3D pdf.

I suggest to keep that in mind when new repacks will be created (since the problem is present in every localized release)

Sereby, if you have time, can you update the installers on your webspace with a fix version like the turkish one made by X-FoRcE?

Thanks a lot

[Inferi0r]

Feature for next version. If you read one of the first times a document in PDF you get the question of you want to help to make Adobe Reader better. This option can disabled then. Maybe it can automatic in the installer?
