May 17, 201212 yr Hi, @ ricktendo64Congratulations for your work! Thank you for cleaning unnecessary and old version files and for making these msi files.I have a question. These files are all msi packages. What should i do to use these package with WinKit as silent installer?For example, is there a need for switches parameter etc. ? :please: Edited May 17, 201212 yr by oguz
May 17, 201212 yr You can use the switch /qn for an silent install!However, how can I create a new full msi package for french language after customization?Thanks Rick.
May 17, 201212 yr You can use the switch /qn for an silent install!However, how can I create a new full msi package for french language after customization?Thanks Rick.Thanks for reply. Is switch /qn only for Adobe Reader or is it use for Rick's all msi packages?NOTE: Can we use these msi packages with WIN7? Edited May 17, 201212 yr by oguz
May 17, 201212 yr Author @oguz yes /qn will work on all msi packages and yes you can use them on Windows 7, with wpi, win toolkit and stuff@myselfidem I use InstEd to rebuild the msi (use yumeyao mod to get better compression)- I apply update msp- Remove the old runtimes- Apply customized mst- Open the msi in InstEd- In the Media table right click on the CAB and choose Rebuild selected CABs- Go to Tables -> Sumary info... and set your installer to Compressed. Long filenames and you are done
May 17, 201212 yr @myselfidemI made an updated ReaderX_addon posted in French forum:http://www.forum-unattend.fr/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=294VC_Runtimes are removed and .msi installer repacked.Can be installed silent with " -gm2 -qn" parameters.Will install on all Windows NT versions.Adobe_Reader_X.1.3_FRA_AddOn.cabMD5: 52496743A9646889F0AF3D2869DE4D5CTaille: 38,81 MBLien: http://www.mediafire.com/?a421gzocw624o6p
May 17, 201212 yr @jaynbeMany thanks! You've made a very good work. I don't use Addons at this time...But I know that I can extract the cab file and use the exe file with the switch you given: "ARF.EXE -gm2 -qn"Thanks for the link. I haven't see this one.I'm interested now to create a msi file for Adobe Reader, on my own!@ ricktendo64Many thanks for your answer. I will try to use your method!Regards Edited May 17, 201212 yr by myselfidem
May 17, 201212 yr Author Added a little more details of tweaks that are applied with my custom MST (also added Adobe Customization Wizard repack with old vc runtimes removed)
May 18, 201212 yr @ricktendo64,What is the command line you used to extract the setup files?"AdbeRdr1010_en_US.exe.exe -nos_o"C:\Folder" -nos_ne"This command line is not working!In addition when i downloaded Adobe reader setup file from adobe web page, the file name is: "install_reader10_en_mssd_aih.exe"This is different than above command line setup name. Edited May 18, 201212 yr by oguz
May 18, 201212 yr Author Use the correct filename (I notice you have .exe.exe)Personally I use the 10.1.0 MSI ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/en_US/ and apply the 10.1.3 msp ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.3/misc/If CutWiz complains about missing setup.ini create a blank one
May 18, 201212 yr @ricktendo64,What is the command line you used to extract the setup files?"AdbeRdr1010_en_US.exe.exe -nos_o"C:\Folder" -nos_ne"This command line is not working!Yes, there is a little (typo) error inside the tutorial (.exe writed twice)!Use:"AdbeRdr1010_en_US.exe -nos_o"C:\Folder" -nos_ne"or:"AdbeRdr1013_en_US.exe -nos_o"C:\Folder" -nos_ne"Regards Edited May 18, 201212 yr by myselfidem
August 14, 201212 yr Hi, can you reupload english installer it's has been removed in mediafire thanks!
October 3, 201212 yr Hey Rick... I tried creating my own installer and I keep having problems... DotFusion just pointed me here and I will read the info and try again... as always thanks :-)
October 3, 201212 yr Author I dont understand what problem you are running intoBTW I dont use the EXE I use the 10.1.0 MSI and in it I integrate the 10.1.4 MSP, remove old VC Runtimes, then I process it with Adobe Customization Wizard (you may have to create a dummy Setup.ini) and also manually do some cleaning with InstEd (remove Setup.ini refrences and other misc stuff)
October 15, 201212 yr Adobe Reader 11 is released http://blogs.adobe.com/adobereader/2012/10/announcing-adobe-reader-xi.html
