I want to use Window Software Distribution

Is there a fixlet to deploy Adobe Reader 9.1 slient and also skip the 9.1 version installation if there is one.

When I use Window Software Distribution, it prompt for Repair or Remove if there is a Adobe Reader 9.1 installed in the machine, how do I go about doing it.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum…

There is no predefined Fixlet to install Adobe 9, but our Updates for Windows Applications Fixlet site has the logic to detect and install Adobe silently.

To make sure that Adobe is not already installed (so your deployment Task will only run on computers without Adobe), use the relevance:

not exists regapp “acrobat.exe”

Here is an action to install Adobe 9.1 (you can change the download link and size/sha1 to fit with your specific download):

download http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/9.x/9.1/misc/AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp

continue if {(size of it = 108235264 AND sha1 of it = “7945cb91d06ea03b339a61392007b6176454f798”) of file “AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp” of folder “__Download”}

wait msiexec.exe /p “__Download\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp” REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omu /qn

action may require restart

Thanks Ben,

I already have an exe file and do not want the machine to restart.

How do I go about?

The key will be to figure out the silent command line arguments…

Which exe file do you have? You might want to do a quick search online to see the silent command-line arguments…
