Acrobat 8 administrative installation & patch: language?

Hello everyone. I'm trying to prepare an Administrative installation of Acrobat 8 with all patches.
I own a Acobat 8 CD spanish, italian, dutch version.
I create an administrative installation via the command
msiexec /a "C:\Acro8\Package\acrostan.msi" transforms="C:\Acro8\Package\mytransform.mst"
then apply all the patches via the command
msiexec /a "C:\Acro8\ServerImage\acrostan.msi" /p "C:\Acro8\Package\updatefilename.msp"
and use that admin install for one-run installation
The problem is that it use only spanish language, even I prepare from and italian-coded transform.mst
Does anyone knows hints or tricks or whatever for convincing it to use italian?
Thanks in advantage for every contribution.
Samuel

I "clicked around" in Acrobat Enterprise Install forum, and I decide to choose this
"Install all Acrobat 8 patches in one step with Adobe Bootstrapper and patch sequencing "
at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403246.html
Now it works well, each time there is a new patch I don't have to build a new administrative installation but only add the patch at the list in setup.ini
Have a nice day to all.

  • Best Practice for Updating Administrative Installation Point for Reader 9.4.1 Security Update?

    I deployed adobe reader 9.4 using an administrative installation point with group policy when it was released. This deployment included a transform file.  It's now time to update reader with the 9.4.1 security msp.
    My question is, can I simply patch the existing AIP in place with the 9.4.1 security update and redeploy it, or do I need to create a brand new AIP and GPO?
    Any help in answering this would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I wouldn't update your AIP in place. I end up keeping multiple AIPs on hand. Each time a security update comes out I make a copy and apply the updates to that. One reason is this: when creating the AIPs, you need to apply the MSPs in the correct  order; you cannot simply apply a new MSP to the previous AIP.
    Adobe's support patch order is documented here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html.
    That link covers Adode  Acrobat and Reader, versions 7.x through 9.x. A quarterly update MSP can  only be applied to the previous quarterly. Should Adobe Reader 9.4.2  come out tomorrow as a quarterly update, you will not be able to apply it to  the 9.4.1 AIP; you must apply it to the previous quarterly AIP - 9.4.0. At a minimum I keep the previous 2 or 3 quarterly AIPs around, as well as the MSPs to update them. The only time I delete my old AIPs is when I am 1000% certain they are not longer needed.
    Also, when Adobe's developers author the MSPs they don't include the correct metadata entries for in place upgrades of AIPs - any AIP based on the original 9.4.0 MSI will not in-place upgrade any installtion that is based on the 9.4.0 MSI and AIP - you must uninstall Adobe Reader, then re-install. This deficiency affects all versions of Adobe Reader 7.x through 9.x. Oddly, Adobe Acrobat AIPs will correctly in-place upgrade.
    Ultimately, the in-place upgrade issue and the patch order requirements are why I say to make a copy, then update and deploy the copy.
    As for creating the AIPs:
    This is what my directory structure looks like for my Reader AIPs:
    F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.0
    F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.1
    F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.2
    F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.3
    F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.4
    F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.4.0
    F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.4.1
    The 9.4.0 -> 9.4.1 MSP is F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp
    When I created my 9.4.1 AIP, I entered these at a cmd.exe prompt - if you don't have robocopy on your machine you can get it from the Server 2003 Resouce Kit:
    F:
    cd \Applications\Adobe\Reader\
    robocopy /s /e 9.4.0 9.4.1
    cd 9.4.1
    rename AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi AdbeRdr941_en_US.msi
    msiexec /a AdbeRdr941_en_US.msi /update F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp /qb

  • Acrobat 8.1.6 Patch Issues

    Hi All,  There looks to be a problem with the Acrobat 8.1.6 patch (acrobatupd816_all_inc.msp).  When attempting to patch an Acrobat 8 Standard & Professional admin install points, I receive a Windows Installer error stating: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service becuase the program to be updated may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.  Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
    I receive this error when trying to upgrade from both 8.1.4 and 8.1.5, on both Standard and Professional.
    Any ideas on what the may be, or do we have to wait for Adobe to fix.
    Thanks.

    hi guys,
    i'm curious: How did you able to slipstream (AIP) Acrobat 8 Pro to 8.1.3?
    I'm getting a weird error when slipstreaming 8.1.3 Update.
    Here's what I got:
    0) Setup on XP Pro SP3/Vista/Win7. AIP is in C:\ local drive.
    1) Create AIP for Acrobat 8.0.0 Pro.
    2) Slipstream 8.1.0 Update (MD5: 37baea6694b15c354b0769b80c500711)
    3) Slipstream 8.1.1 Update (MD5: e6faf402bd7a7e864dbe0870a80d04c5)
    4) Slipstream 8.1.2 Update (MD5: 69f725c77a879f542af89c6a5bdab839)
    5) Ignored 8.1.2 SU1 Update (negligible; and it's in MSI anyway so no point slipstreaming to AIP)
    6) When I tried to slipstream 8.1.3 Update (MD5: c3e0ea9741f84246cf281acb33e22c86), i get an error msg:
    http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/227/sshot1moo.png
    Error 1335. The cabinet file 'PCW_CAB_ACRO' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.
    7) There's no way to continue. Pressing Ignore button generate a simple error dialog:
    http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/1355/sshot2sel.png
    Internal Error 2350.
    8) Now, i can't slipstream 8.1.4 or 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 because 8.1.3 won't install at all.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Acrobat XI Pro installation failed

    MacBook Pro 13" Retina
    OSX 10.8.5
    3 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Used Akamai NetSession Interface.
    Downloaded from Adobe website. After download, clicked on installer, entered serial number, quickly went through installing until right at the end: "THE INSTALLATION FAILED: Installer encountered an error that caused installation to fail. Contact manufacturer." Part of the message cut-off abruptly.
    Then, it appeared that the installation did occur but when I opened the software the interface didn't look "smooth." Then almost immediately software update stated Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.04 was available for download, but computer wouldn't allow it to be installed citing error on initial problem. I uninstalled XI Pro and tried to download again from Adobe website but the window instantly opened for Akamai and said download complete. The same problem occured when I tried to install again, with the same error message.

    Thank you Anish.
    The software now appears to be working for some reason, and even though Error 1301 appeared when trying to update to Acrobat 11.0.04, it shows that I am running 11.0.04. There is something going on in there but so far so good.

  • Acrobat standard xi - installer for named licenses

    Hi guys, apart from the web installer that users with admin rights can install themselves is there an alternative installer that can be used for silent installs? (for SCCM).

    Hi sagep8063071,
    Could you please let me know what is your OS version.
    On Windows, Adobe Customization Wizard is an alternative for Acrobat XI silent installation.
    Please refer the below mentioned link for the same:

    So you want to install multiple versions of Acrobat on Windows.  You want to deal in software installation VooDoo, and the installation "Dark Arts"!  Be warned doing something like this can backfire on you in terrible ways.

    Why not try this? At worst, you'll only waste some time.

    I have installed BPC 7.0 on our Windows 2003 server, I have installed the BPC Administration and BPC Client on a Windows XP machine all are working well.
    My problem is when I try the same on Windows Vista Business, I have Domain Administrator rights and Local User Admin rights in Vista, however when I press the BPC Administration Installation button and try to install BPC Admin I get the following message  'You do not have authority to install the BPC for Office'.
    I have followed the exact same procedure as I used for Windows XP and now feel I am banging my head against a wall. Does anyone have any ideas on this issue?

    I have found the problem Vista Business does not have .net 1.1 (see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en ) and Service PAck 1 (see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyId=a8f5654f-088e-40b2-bbdb-a83353618b38&displayLang=en)

  • Acrobat 11 Pro installer get's hung up when it gets' to "Installing script packages-"

    I have a 2008 15" Unibody Macbook Pro with the replaceable five hour battery.  It has 8 GS of RAM and it is booted under Mountain Lion.  The Acrobat 11 Pro installer get's hung up when it gets to "Installing script packages…"  It never finishes installation.  I've tried it after booting in Safe Boot Mode and then again in regular boot mode.  I've had no success.  The Acrobat 11 Pro installer works fine when installing on my 2007 32bit Mac Pro desktop, booted under Lion.  Do I need to try something fancy with command line, using the Terminal app?  I'm stumped.

    Greetings, Rave and Sabian.
    I resolved the Acrobat 11 Pro install issue without reformatting my Macbook Pro's internal hard drive.  I reinstalled Mountain Lion on top of the existing Mountain Lion installation.
    I reinstalled Lion on my '07 32bit Mac Pro, about a month ago, and it resolved a lot of issues.  So, re-installing Mountain Lion on top of the existing Mountain Lion installation was the fix to get the Acrobat 11 Pro install to complete and also eliminate some other system bugs I was having.
    After using Acrobat 11 Pro on my Mac Pro, for over a week, I have to say it is a huge improvement over Acrobat 9 Pro.  I love having the tools and commenting tabs over to the right of the window and using the top menu less.  It makes scrolling through PDF pages and comments two separate activities, allowing the screen refresh to be much quicker and better.
    Acrobat 11 Pro is a great version!

  • Error 1303. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator.

    This is a desktop computer with Windows 8. Any help is appreciated.

    Well, did you log in as the administrator. Win 8.1 may also have an disabled Administrator account like Win 7 that you may have to activate, but in most cases it is not necessary. You should disable anti-virus during the install. From you login (as long as you are an administrator) you may be able to right click on the install file and say run as administrator.

  • Adobe acrobat 9 pro installation/licensing issues

    I installed my licensed copy of Acrobat 9 on a new Windows  7 system.  Acrobat launched but would not open files and shuts down on attempt. Message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working" with subtext "You cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
    I doubt any of you have a solution, so I simply remark on what transpired as a warning and complaint:
    1.  I went to Adobe databse and found that a patch was provided to correct installations/licensing problems on windows 7.  I downloaded it and installed per instructions.  It did not resolve the problem.
    2.  I uninstalled/reinstalled several times. no resolution.
    3.  I called customer support and was outsourced to someone who knew little and first sent me to a kb article having to do with 'expired licensing' even though I clearly informed them that the message and the fact had nothing to do with expired licenses.  They finally referred me to kb405970 on "Licensing has stopped working".  I tried all of the applicable solutions (methods 1-6) and none of them worked.  Now I will have to wait until tomorrow (though I had pressing work to do today) to contact support again.  I fear I will get another outsourced tech who knows little and wastes more of my time.  Such is Adobe's way of supporting paid and licensed product users.
    I understand and sympathize with Adobe's wishes to protect its products from piracy.  However, I expect and paid for a product which works on major and supported operating systems like windows 7. I also understand that if MS or Mac put out a new OS or version, it may require certain adjustments or updates on Adobe's part.  What I do not understand (or have patience with) is that 1) Adobe failed to provide a patch that works; 2) that it then sends me to an outsourced customer service tech who didn't have the knowledge to correct the problem and gave me the wrong information to begin with*. What I finally got was the kb article with a series of multi-step instructions for several methods, none of which worked.  This is an unprofessional and unethical response to those of us who have paid for our product and expect it to work under reasonable conditions in a supported environment.  This is not an acceptable good-faith effort to resolve issues for which Adobe should take full responsibility.
    If any of you do happen to have a real solution (or had a similar problem) do let me know....
    *The first thing the outsourced tech wished to do was get onto my machine via a remote connection, before anything was tried other than giving them the error message and have them provide me with the wrong information. It became clear that this person had less knowledge than I do (which isn't saying much) and there was no way I was going to permit a clueless techie to crawl around in my machine and fiddle with settings.  That is simply asking for trouble. I'm perfectly capable of opening panels and following instructions myself. DC should be the last thing tried; not the first.

    Bill,  I tried as you suggested - installed every update from 9.1  through 9.3.4.  The 'license not working message persists'. The only change was that now Acrobat will not close and must be forced to shut down from the taskbar menu.  I appreciate the suggestion though.
    Called Adobe (Manila) again, within the hours given on their contact page for installation and licensing issues, and was told "It's Sunday, nobody here can help you".  Finally, after an hour of hammering got them to get me a supervisor (their script says to tell the customer there "Is no supervisor available on Sunday"  -  Finally the "supervisor", Alvin, suggested I need a new serial number and left me on the line while he called someone else to get on. Cameback and informed me that he couldn't get one, I'd have to call Monday (how's that for having solutions?)  Result: wasted more time and had more delay on my project.
    Conclusion:  Adobe has become obsessed and 'piranoic' about piracy and licensing to the extent that they put that first and client/customer needs second (if that).  After reading a lot of online 'Adobe Sucks'  forums, I'm inclined to believe Adobe is shooting itself in its own foot and is not going to be a reliable method of presentation/document transmission in the future - service and support is an integral part of software and other concerns such as piracy or licensing need to be transparent to legitimate users.  Sad that they spend so much time on this, when they need to be fixing real problems.  As well, these outsourcing Philipines companies are poor substitutes for good support - they are so scripted and obsessed with regulations over solutions that it is clear that only the most persistent users will get anywhere with them.  As a frontline of contact with after-sale clients, they are going to cost Adobe a lot of potential business in the future, whatever their short-term savings.  Too bad. Adobe used to be a leader in the market.
    Next round:  Calling Manila again this am. to be continued...

  • Acrobat 8 GPO installation + MST file HOWTO??

    Hello,
    I'm currently deploying acrobat 8 standard software to some pc's.
    Do I really need to create an administrative install or can I just copy the files from the cd to a network location, run the "customization wizard v8" to create an mst and then create the gpo to deploy the msi and the mst?
    Thanks for any reply.
    (I did find info about acrobat 7 but nothing so far for version 8)
    kind regards,
    Lieven

    I am in the same scenario but with Reader 9.0. I have found that if I create the AIP and then attempt to use the Adobe Customization Wizard 9, that there is no required setup.ini in the AIP. I too have been able to use the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 and the original installation files (not AIP) with MST and GPO to install to workstations. But future patching is important. What is the best way to install via GPO and allow for future patching? Is the AIP still needed for Version 9? If so how do I get the AIP to work with the Adobe Customization Wizard 9? Thanks for any advice you can give.
