Acrobat Reader MDT Install String

I have configured a transform file for Acrobat Reader and want to update to the 10.1.4 patch. I am trying to install Acrobat Reader using this command via MDT:
msiexec /i AcroRead.msi PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst /qb
It works fine directly on the machine, but gives an error of 1619 in the log file...
Has anyone done this before or can offer any suggestions to try?

Have you tried using the Adobe Customization Wizard? Your setup.ini would just need to contain direction for the patch.
Example:
[Startup]
RequireOS=Windows 2000
RequireMSI=3.0
RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
[Product]
msi=AcroRead.msi
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp
See also: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf#page=77 for more information.

Here is what my setup.ini file states:
[Startup]
RequireMSI=3.0
CmdLine=/sall /rs
[Product]
msi=AcroRead.msi
PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
[MSI Updater]

Adobe Acrobat Reader Not Installed.

Trying to open link to pdf file from IE8 using Windows 7 64bit and pdf file will not open "adobe acrobat reader not installed". Yet I can open PDF files outside of IE8. Adobe Reader X is installed. Have tried remvoving, reinstalling, running app as admin. Have tried different version of Adobe Reader and same error. This same link works fine when opened with Google Chrome. Any suggestions?

Thanks for posting the image.
Could you please confirm if you receive this error while opening any PDF? Could you try opening: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.1.pdf
Do you receive the same issue?

New Toshiba PC with Acrobat Reader pre-installed. I installed Acrobat XI Standard. When opening a PDF, it opens in Reader. How do I get Standard to be the default?

How can I be sure Acrobat Reader will install on the disk I want it to and not on my C:\ drive?

Hi Guys,
I have a large desktop system running under XP Pro + SPs 1,2 and 3 that has several hard disk drives,
I like to keep my operating system on my C:\ drive, which is a small drive and over half full and all my applications on my much larger F:\ drive.
I now need to install either Acrobat Reader v 10 or else Reader and Air seperately.
How can I either;
ensure that these both install on my F:\ drive? or
if they insist on installing on my C:\ drive, can I move them to my F:\ drive without creating problems?
Regards,
BroomstickPilot

Hello,
Once you start the Adobe Reader X installation you will get a Windows which says : Extracting Installation Files, once its sucessfully Extracted the file you will get this window :
Just click on Change Destination Folder button and you will get this window :
From the top click on the Drop Down Menu and you will get the other Drives (As per your computer you will get F:)
You can select the Destination in F: drive
Hope it helps !!
Thanks,
Vikram

What is the correct way to determine the install location of Acrobat/Reader to install plugins?

We were previously using the following registry key to determine where we need to install our Acrobat/Reader plugin.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\%d\InstallPath
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\%d\InstallPath
(and append \plugin_ins to that result)
With Acrobat DC, I no longer see that registry key.
I was planning on changing our code to instead look here to determine the install paths:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Acrobat.exe\Path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AcroRd32.exe\Path
Is this the recommended way of determining where to install plugins? I would rather not have our installation break when they update Acrobat/Reader the next time (for example maybe in the future they decide to change the executable name...)

Enterprise Guide can be found at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/index.html   (came right up on a web search for me). You want the information about product tracks and installer bit locations.
SDK releases are usually within 30 days of the product release.

Unable to make Acrobat X the default handler/opener of PDF files on a Windows 8 laptop with Acrobat Reader also installed.

I have a user with a Windows 8 Sony Vaio laptop with Microsoft Office 2013 Professional, Acrobat X Standard, and Acrobat Reader installed. Another program on his system requires Acrobat Reader so we cannot just remove that and keep it off the system. Regardless of what he does to set the default program to open PDF files with, when he opens a PDF file it always opens it in Acrobat Reader and not Acrobat itself. We have re-associated it and set the default program handling repeatedly and have also tried complete uninstall and reinstall of both Acrobat and Acrobat Reader which had no effect on this. At this point I am of the opinion that this is a bug and the file association is being overridden somewhere in the registry besides the file association entries. Any help is appreciated.

The only supported way to set the default handler (besides the Wizard and cmd line properties) is via the UI at Edit > Preferences > General > Default PDF Handler. The installer has to be invoked and many registry entries get touched during the switching process.
You should also verify your dot versions of the product support Windows 8: Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes.
Finally, while you Acrobat 10 should work with Reader 11, try reverting to Reader 10 (that should be your last resort).

Why Acrobat Reader not Installing?

Whenever i tried to install the complete Adobe Design Premium CS3 suit, the acrobat reader not working. What should i do now?

There is no such thing as Acrobat Reader.
Are you trying to install Acrobat Pro, from creative suite?
Or Adobe Reader, entirely separately?
In either case what do you mean by "not working"?

Can't get acrobat reader to install with firefox

this is probably in the wrong topic, but i'm having a **** of a time trying to print a single page of a 60 page pdf doc. i'm using PREVIEW but it gives me no option to print current page. i have an older hp deskjet and downloaded mac driver for it.
then i tried to get acrobat reader, but can't get the installer to work because of firefox i guess.
btw........i've only been with mac for a couple of months......

Print (⌘-p), then click on the big blue arrow to expand the window, There, you will find "Pages" and you can choose. Then, click on PDF at the bottom left and choose "Save as PDF"

I was unaware that I needed to uninstall the older Acrobat Reader before installing the newwer XI. Am I now able to go back and delete both versions then reinstall the XI?

I have Windows 7, and an older Abode Reader, I've just installed the newer Adobe Reader XI, but did not uninstall the older Adobe Reader. Is it too late to uninstall both versions of Adobe Readers, then reinstall the Adobe Reader XI?

If you upgrade from one Reader version to the next (e.g. Reader X to XI) it is usually not necessary to uninstall the previous version.
If you skip several versions (e.g. Reader 8 to Reader XI) it is recommended to uninstall the old version first.
My recommendation for now:
uninstall both versions using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
reinstall the latest Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

How to call Reader when both Acrobat and Reader are installed?

In my machine, I have both Acrobat 7.0 Standard and Acrobat Reader 8 installed.
I want to call Reader 8 in my program. But everytime it opens Acrobat 7.0. I use the following code,
Dim acroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
acroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
acroApp.MenuItemExecute("About")
I am new to writing PDF programs. Can anyone tell me how to call Reader 8 by program? (I'm using VB.Net.)

You can use this code with Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.
Thank you for your reply. Does the library automatically choose application to call? or the library work under Acrobat only?
I tried to run the samples of IAC in Acrobat SDK, but all of them called Adobe Acrobat.
I'm really confused. Could you show me a way to call Reader?

Acrobat Reader 7, 8 & 9 + Outlook 2003 = Freezing

Hi guys,
Here's my issue:
A few of our users here use the "Attach to email..." option within Acrobat Reader after opening a PDF from an email within Outlook 2003 (why they refuse to just forward the damn e-mail, I do not know). Anyways, after typing into the e-mail, they hit "Send" and then both Outlook and Acrobat Reader freeze up. Now just to add to the fun, this happens intermittently. Sometimes twice a day, sometimes twenty.
Things I've tried:
- Reinstalling Acrobat Reader.
- Installing versions 7, 8 and 9 (uninstalling the previous one first of course)
- Reinstalling Outlook 2003.
- Reinstalling the entire Office 2003 package.
- Reconfiguring his Exchange settings (cached mode, etc)
Does anyone have any ideas? I see a number of people with this problem, but no real fix apart from the whole "Don't use Acrobat Reader, hurr" response. We do not have this luxury.
If an Adobe Rep sees this and can even give me an answer of "This is a current issue and it's being looked into.", that would be fine. I need to give these users something to get them off my back.
Cheers.

You do not need Reader and Acrobat on the same system. Acrobat will do all that reader does.
If you have both installed on the same system, you should remove Reader using the Windows Install Cleanu Utitlity and repair Acrobat. If repairing Acrobat does not solve the problem, you remove Acrobat using the Windows Install Cleanu Utitlity and reinstall Acrobat.
Good luck.

Acrobat Reader 9.1 ActiveX control problems

We have an application written in VB.NET 2005 which displays a PDF file using embedded ActiveX control from Acrobat Reader (using AcroPDF.dll).
The code to open the file is very simple:
Me.AxAcroPDF1.LoadFile(_path)
The application was compiled on the machine that had Acrobat Reader 8 installed and distributed. The users also had Acrobat 8 installed.
Some of the users upgraded to Acrobat 9.1. I understand that it shouldn't really matter as the ActiveX control from 9.1 should be backward compatible.
Yet some users cannot open the file and receive the following error message:
"Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component"
Some other users can open the file but have the following message when closing the application (which calls Me.AxAcroPDF1.Dispose() ):
"The instruction at "0x0700609c" referenced memory at "0x00000014". The memory could not be "read"."
What can cause those problems? How can I fix them?

OK, no one responsed to my questions but I found answers for them so I thought I might put them here for those interested.
As for "HRESULT E_FAIL" message, all that was wrong was the "Display PDF in browser" option in Adobe Reader preferences. It needs to be ticked. A bit weird but considering that it uses the same OCX in a web browser, it makes some sense.
As for the memory issues message, I need to unload libraries manually before exiting the application (as suggested in some other thread in this forum):
<DllImport("ole32.dll")> _
Friend Shared Sub CoFreeUnusedLibraries()
End Sub
Me .AxAcroPDF1.Dispose()UnmanagedCode.CoFreeUnusedLibraries()

Is there a version of Acrobat Reader that works for XP SP3??

I have spent 30 minutes trying to get either ver 8 or version 9 of Acrobat Reader to install on a fairly recent clean install of XP Pro Sp3 machine. I need to use Acrobat Reader for a application rather than another reader and want to know why Acrobat Reader 9 fails to install properly because Error 1406 could not write key...
Installing it under an Administrator account.
I had even worse problems with version 8 as the install exe file that I downloaded from Adobe stalls at 1% at the progress bar! Does 8.x which is not Abobe Air based work in XP SP3?
There are no other Adobe Reader versions nor other PDF readers installed on this computer.

I followed the instructions here http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329137&sliceId=2 however that did not fix the problem as the same error message is still showing up. I did notice that it APPEARS that these instructions are reversed. If you look at solution 2 steps 8 & 9 and the screen shots are reversed since when one clicks on ADVANCED button as indicated in step 7 you see the screen shown in step 9 first then you can click on the OWNER tab to show the screenshot shown in step 8!
As well I get the same error message with the 8.x version, the install file was corrupt and that is why it was hanging yesterday.
