Adobe Acrobat Reader v9 and Pro v9

system · July 21, 2010, 11:02pm

I am having all sorts of problems trying to deploy Adobe here without the Updates using an MST file with Adobe’s Customization Wixard v9.

The deployment comes back as completed but withouth deploying Adobe. I could see a box with the installation but then it reverts back and dissapears.

I have tried many ways to deploy this with no luck. I can deploy the Reader without putting the MST file in the command line. (But then the updates are a click away).

Here is a few of my command lines that I have used without success:

MSIEXEC /I adobe.msi TRANSFORMS="__download\adobeRD930_v2.mst" /qn

MSIEXEC /I adobe.msi TRANSFORMS="__download\adobeRD930_v2.mst" /quiet

MSIEXEC /i adobe.msi TRANSFORMS=“adobeRD930_v2.mst” /qn

MSIEXEC /I adobe.msi TRANSFORMS=adobeRD930_v2.mst /qn

MSIEXEC /I adobe.msi ALLUSERS=TRUE EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES TRANSFORMS=adobeRD930_v2.mst /QB-

Anyone can help here?

thank you.

Have you tried doing an appendfile, creating a local batch file to execute.

You could then test that file locally, once bigfix created it… run it local to confirm it’s working.

then have the action execute it after testing.

code:

appendfile MSIEXEC /I {location of adobe.msi} TRANSFORMS="{location of mst} /qn

Do you have the adobe.msi file local already, or do you want Bigfix to download or execute from a remote path?

Here is a possible code example.

You need to adjust the relevance within the 2 file location for adobe.msi and the Transforms file

CODE:

//Remove prior Batch file

delete “__appendfile”

delete “__Download\install.bat”

//Create Batch

appendfile MSIEXEC /I {location of adobe.msi} TRANSFORMS="{location of mst} /qn

/Execution of Install

copy “__appendfile” “__Download\install.bat”

wait “{pathname of system folder & “\cmd.exe”}” /C “{(pathname of client folder of current site) & “__Download\install.bat”}”

Do you add this as an Action script?

I created a 2nd action from my original one (deleted actions that were to install the msi)

And it gives me an error at line 6 (the msiexec line)
