Hi Rick I am a blind user and I need to keep the accessibility plugins in reader can you explain to me how to accomplish this task I have an admin install of reader 11.03 but I used the custwiz but I tried to use insted to apply the transform that I made but the install still runs and I don't think that it did anything and I don't know how to make the admin install back to a single msi package if you could please help it would be very appreciated my language is english thanks again for your help I feel like I am allmost there but I need a little bit of help thanks again.

OK here is what I do/use, you will need InstEd MSI editor. Use this one because its patched for better cab compression http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/9769-modded-insted-151526-lzx21/

Steps:

- Create a administrative install of adobe reader

- Integrate the MSP update AdbeRdrUpd11003.msp

- I edit the MSI to make it lite, you may skip this

- Open the installer in InstEd, go to the "Media" Table, right click on "#Data1.cab" and choose "Rebuild selected CABs"

- Once InstEd finishes rebuilding CAB, click the "Table" menu, choose "Summary Info..."

- In Summary Information change the "Image Type" from "Admin External. Long filenames" to "Compressed. Long filenames"

- Close InstEd and save your MSI

- Now you can open your MSI with CustWiz v11.03 and choose your options

Note: sometimes CustWiz does not apply the tweaks, it merely creates a MST (Microsoft Transform) file with the tweaks. You need to apply this to the MSI, you can do this with InstEd: Open your MSI again and click the "Transform" menu, choose "Apply transform..." and browse for your CustWiz generated MST (save & exit)

Tell me what language you want, I can make you a lite installer keeping Accessibility plugins

[Corey]

Hi Rick an english install with accessibility would be great thanks so much for your quick reply thanks again for writing out your steps thanks again.

[Corey]

Hi Rick how do you get the files back into a single msi package?  I changed the info in the summary table and I compressed the cab file.  thanks so much for your time.

Hi Rick how do you get the files back into a single msi package?  I changed the info in the summary table and I compressed the cab file.  thanks so much for your time.

Open the installer in InstEd, go to the "Media" Table, right click on "#Data1.cab" and choose "Rebuild selected CABs"

[Corey]

Hi Rick I did that and now I have the Data1.cab file but not one msi package file I can't see your picture if you could make me an installer with just the accessibility plugins included I would appreciate or tell me what I am doing wrong I would also like to how to have one main msi file thanks for your time.

[Corey]

Hi Rick I am trying to get my msi like yours like the file name AdbeRdrLite11003_en_US.msi that is what I don't understand what I am doing I did the cab compression and then I applied the transforms file but now I want to get one msi file instead of the cab file and the msi and the setup.ini and the mst file thanks again for your help.

[ricktendo]

OK I see, you are using the embedded MSI from the Adobe Reader EXE installer, that one has Data1.cab on the outside. (in the media table you can add a # symbol at the beginning of Data1.cab and insted will embed the CAB)

I personally don't use the EXE I use this MSI installer ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi

I made you this liter installer. Its the same as my lite but I kept: Accessibility, Read Out Loud, Make Accessible and Reflow

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56155351/Tools/AdbeRdrLiter11003_en_US.msi

Here is my CustWiz MST you can apply with InstEd if you want (or you can use your own) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56155351/Tools/AdbeRdr11003_en_US_CustWiz.mst

Good luck!

[Corey]

Hi Rick thanks so much if I used the adobe link that you gave me for the adobe ftp how would I apply the update msp to version 11?  Also thanks for you making me the version with accessibility is your transform file included in that file?  thanks again for your help.

[ricktendo]

No the transform is not included in my installer, only been updated and slimed

If you want to apply the MSP update, create a admin install of the MSI, open a cmd prompt and type this command

msiexec /a msi_name.msi /p msp_patch.msp /qb

Now you use InstEd to rebuild and change summary info from admin long filenames to compressed long filenames

[Corey]

Hi Rick when I go to apply my transforms file in instead nothing seems to happen when I run the install like none of the options are there like have IE have the open and save dialogue I just opened my msi and then I go to the transforms menu and then I go to apply transforms here is a link to my transforms file can you please tell me what I am doing wrong thanks.

here is the link http://www.coreytk.com/AcroRead.mst

[ricktendo]

After you apply transform with InstEd, then you need to go again to Transform menu and choose "Save Transformed"

You can also use a command line tool MsiTran.exe http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56155351/Tools/MsiTran.Exe

You apply transform like so:

MsiTran.exe -a transform.mst installer_name.msi

[Corey]

Hi Rick, I just wanted to say thanks for helping me out I really appreciate it and I now understand a little more about using insted and dealing with msi files thanks again I really appreciate it.

I was a long time wanting to create a lite version of Adobe Reader XI, but could never even start - don't let laziness get the better of you

 

Great work, Rick!

[mate_1146]

Looks really nice, thank you for the English version!
BTW, may I ask you to create a Hungarian version of it? (hu_HU) My friends would appreciate it!

[HJSC]

Rick, how you managed to integrate the file "HideMenu.js"? I created the mst file with CustWiz, but when I apply transform the "HideMenu.js" isn't in the Javascripts folder  :g:

Edited September 8, 2013 by HJSC

[ricktendo]

I add it with the Adobe Customization Wizard in the Files and Folders area

[HJSC]

Yeah me too, but I don't know what is happening to the HideMenu.js file isn't there after applying transform.

 

 

My steps:

- I remove all stuff via VBscript (added some other things in the vbs file given by you)

- I create an administrative install

- I integrate the update AdbeRdrUpd11003.msp

- I open the CustWiz, modify some values ​​in the Property table (eg Brandname and Productname) and add HideMenu.js in the Files & Folders area.

- I go to generate transformation in the Transform menu and save the mst file.

- I apply transform with MsiTran.exe file and all changes are applied, except for the HideMenu.js file.

 

 

[ricktendo]

Create admin install and add MSP first...then create MST, vbscript and finally apply MST

 

HideMenu.js is added as a binary file to the MST, if you export Binary/Enterprise.mnt and open it in notepad you can see your js embedded in this file

 

[HJSC]

Thank you for your help, Rick

I'll try making it and see if that fixes the "problem" 

-------------

 

I figured out what is happening...

 

The HideMenu.js is in the EnterpriseFiles table (image below). But he isn't in the Javascripts folder, only when the msi file is recompiled into a single msi package and later executed/installed, the .js appears in the Javascripts folder.

 

 

I tried to install the administrative install package, but the .js wasn't installed along with the rest of the files.  :no:

 

I'm creating a 7-zip sfx with the administrative install package to reduce the final file size.

.MSI (single msi package) ≅ 35MB

.EXE (administrative install package) ≅ 22MB

 

As you can see above, the differences are significant. That said, what do you think I can do besides decompile (create a administrative install) again with the MSI (lite) file?

Edited September 8, 2013 by HJSC

[ricktendo]

You can try not applying the MST with msitran and apply it to your admin package during install with cmdline (it may work then)

<installer>.msi TRANSFORMS=<transforms>.mst

[HJSC]

It was the only thing I haven't tried. I'll try that tip and come back later with the result.

My ISP is crap today and connecting me slower than dial up =X

------------------

 

Rick: worked perfectly!  :dancing:

I’d like to thank you for everything. I’m very grateful to you for helping me =)
