Acrobat Reader MSI

Hi all
I have filled in the distribution agreement  for Abobe Acrobat Reader and when I get the conformation email it just lists the EXE no MSI is listed.  I have used the distribution agreement in the past to successfully obtain an MSI.  What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi Chris,
Try downloading from here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/1500720033/
Or use the steps mentioned here: http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/2010/06/16/how-to-extract-an-msi-file-from-the-exe-for-ado be-reader/

  • Deploy Acrobat Reader 10.1.3 via MSI Group Policy

    The purpose of this thread is to identify EASIEST way to create/obtain an MSI file of the LATEST VERSION of Acrobat Reader (currently 10.1.3 as of 7/19/2012) to be deployed via GPO.  I am not concerned with customizations of Reader settings as I have accomplished this already using Group Policy.
    It sounds so easy, but I have found it to be quite frustrating and extremely time consuming to figure this out.
    Here's what I have so far:
    To download the full installer from Adobe, you must first apply on Adobe's website to distribute Reader:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/rdr_distribution1.html
    Once you submit the request, a short time later you'll get an e-mail with a link to download the full exe file of reader 10.1.3. 
    Here's a link that explains how to extract an MSI from this exe:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/2010/06/16/how-to-extract-an-msi-file-from-the-exe-
    for-adobe-reader/
    Even with following those steps, I do not end up with an MSI file which will install 10.1.3.
    To try another route:
    There is also an Adobe FTP site.  If you navigate down into the Reader 10.1.0 folder there is an MSI file.  Good - but it's the old version.
    You would think that if you navigate into the 10.1.3 folder there would be an MSI there as well.
    Unfortunately there is not.  However, there is an MSP file found in the misc folder:
    I have tried several methods that are supposed to combine the MSP file with the MSI file - they have not worked.
    I have also tried several methods of modifying MSI files, and using the Adobe Cusomization wizard downloadable here:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950
    I am unable to end up with a deployable MSI file for Reader 10.1.3.
    It's amazing that it's so complicated to deploy the latest version of Adobe Reader to my users.
    Does anyone have a comprehensive answer to this simple problem?  I do not want a link to a document with 20 pages explaining the theory of MSP files.  I am looking for a concise, step by step method to obtain an MSI for 10.1.3 quickly and easily.
    Thanks!

    First there isn't a single MSI file that will install Adobe Reader 10.1.3 available. There are two ways in which you can create an installer package that will install Adobe Reader 10.1.3. 
    1.  Bootstrapper
    -  Bootstrapper uses the Setup.ini file to create a chained installation process and is run from Setup.exe with a limited amount of installation switches available. 
    The process is documented in the Enterprise Administration Guide:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf #page=77
    Here is a reference video on the process:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zYTUyOIcNk
    2.  AIP (Administrative Installation Point)
    - AIP uses the Windows Installer to create a decompressed updated full MSI based installer.  The process is documented in the Enterprise Administration Guide:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf #page=70
    Here is a reference video on the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05XOKX0150w&feature=relmfu
    * Please note, that each installation method has it's advantages and disadvantages. Those aspects of each installation type need to be seriously considered for your specific environment and what will and will not work for the IT group and user groups within your enterprise before you decide upon one of them.

  • How do I get a MSI file for Acrobat Reader DC

    Hello,
    This is my first time attempting something like this but I'm trying to extract an MSI file from the Acrobat Reader DC exe file in order to deploy it via GPO. I was able to extract the enterprise exe I was given using this command structure in command prompt: <path>\Acrobat_2015_Web_WWMUI.exe -nos_o"MyFolder" -nos_ne
    Once everything extracted though, I'm not seeing any MSI files just another exe called AcroRd32 so I'm assuming there is another step I need to take that I'm missing somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi creativityl60376636,
    MSI file can not be extracted. You can extract .exe file however there is no way to extract .msi file.

  • Acrobat Reader X Disable Protection mode

    Hi All,
    i need some help with this freaky Acrobat Reader X version.
    We have currently  ~1000 computers with different old versions of AR (form 6 to 9)
    We need to upgrade to 10.0.1 version all PC's
    Will use SCCM for distributing the package.
    OK... everything here seems good but ... a lot of problems and erros appear.
    First we've installed on test group of 10 pc's the AR 10.0.0
    all users start complainig that they can't open the pdf's from our file servers.
    Solution - bring the patch 10.0.1
    After that all users start complaining that they can't print - Windows Error - Acrobat need to be closed !
    Solution - Protection mode disabled.
    My questions :
    1. How can I distribute both the Package of Acrobat and the update together with SCCM
    All my tries and reaings failed !!!
    i've try different methods and no success
    msiexec /i /q \\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" PATCH=\\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\adbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp
    this do not work for me This is in SCCM program
    2. How can i disable through Adobe Wizard the Protection Mode ?
    I know how to do it manually but is not acceptable this way - i can't communicate with 1000 users to do this manually
    I know how to disable it from registry with GPO , but i can't disable it before installation, also i can't disable it on all PC's after installation, because it will take several days to complete for all pc's and this "hole" of some days will stop the work of our end-users.
    Any fresh ideia is wellcome. Also any help
    Thanks

    hey,
    had similar issues with protection mode.
    found we can do it 2 ways, 1. via registry entry, or 2. via an ADM.
    sorry cannot remember the referenced posts for the fixes below...
    we use the adm so that users cannot change it, and so that updates dont reset it.
    note that the adm has only a few settings, and i dont know the code for any other settings.
    1. - REG method:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
    REM: Above line Disables Protected Mode on startup
    2. - ADM Template method
    please note, just copy and paste into a text file and rename as .adm.
    remember that on the last section of the code below, change the "YOUR HEADER HERE" bit to what you want to use to find it in the GPO manager once you add the template.

    Hi,
    It looks like you do not have access to the registry key mentioned i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS.
    This might be due to the fact that you may not be added to the Administrators group or the registry key has been denied access explicitly to a group that you may be part of.
    People in my network setup were facing the same issue, and we fixed the same using Microsoft's "subinacl" tool. You can follow the below mentioned steps to rectify your issue as well:
    1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool fromhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
    2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
    3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> Run and type "cmd" and click OK)
    4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
        i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
       ii. subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
    You should see some processes happening on your screen. After the process ends, retry the operation you were originally trying to perform. Hopefully, they should succeed now.

  • Acrobat Reader Redistribute wrong version

    Hi all,
    I registered for redistribute Acrobat Reader in our network.  Adobe sent me the link to download the file.  Unzip the file which has Setup.exe, AcroRead.msi and other files.  If I manually install it by double click on Setup.exe file, I got the right version (1.0.14) but if I deploy the it through gpo by using the file AcroRead.msi, then I only get version 1.0.10.  Why is it like that?
    Regards
    tuiday

    If you want to deploy 10.1.4 to the clients on your network, you need to create an AIP for 10.1 from the Acroread.MSI and then patch it with the MSP for 10.1.4. You can then push this new AIP for 10.1.4 through your network using GPO. It will install Reader 10.1.4 on the clients. For details steps pls. refer: http://www.stage.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/gpo.html
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader X 10.x MUI ohne Sprachabfrage

    Hallo, Ich versuche den Acrobat Reader in einer Firmenumgebung zu installieren. Nach der Installation startet der Reader mit einer Sprachabfrage in der das Programm laufen soll.
    Wie kann ich das verhindern? Kann ich die Standardeinstellung (z.B. deutsch) per MSI Property bei der Installation angeben, so dass sie für alle Anwender gilt?

    Um den Reader in einer Firmenumgebung zu verteilen, verwende ich den Adobe Customization Wizard. Sämtliche Einstellungen, wie auch die Sprache, kannst du dort vor der Installation festlegen. Eine Installation auf den Endgeräten kann dann ohne weitere Abfragen (silently) laufen . Wenn du das Problem nicht schon selbst gelöst hast, dann findest du hier den Customization Wizard: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3993

  • Adobe Customization Wizard 9 and acrobat reader

    Im trying to customise the acrobat reader with the Customization Wizard 9 and even if set some option like disable the check for update even after deploying the msi the option still there  i also try to disable the EULA when you first start the program neither ..... still apear the first time i start acrobat reader
    Thanks

    As you are installing Adobe Reader 9 over Acrobat 8 then you need not worry about checking those greyed out options.
    When you will install Adobe Reader 9, the Reder setup will not uninstall any previous Acrobat 8 version on it own.
    So, you can go ahead and install Reader without worrying about these options. The Reader setup will only prompt during installation that whether to make Reader or Acrobat 8 the default viewer of PDF files.
    These options have only been provided for the situation when, say,  Acrobat 9 is being installed over Acrobat 8, then it gives the user an option to choose whether to remove previous version of Acrobat or not. Because newer Acrobat versions remove previous Acrobat versions before installation, which is not possible with the Reader setup.
    That said, please note that it is not recommended to use Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, Adobe doesn't recommend this.

  • Acrobat reader 10.0.x for windows and flash player update

    i don't understand why my client require the update of reader (update of 10.0.1), but in the download page (.msp file) i can't find nothing. the other problem was about the update of flash player....i need to distribute the update over GPO, but adobe doesn't release from download page....is because the update are integrated in acrobat reader new release?
    the metod is wrong! security is very important and release the updated version of software is also foundamental! IT Pro need an update (.msp or .msi) for the reader and for player.....faster not when you want
    so....how you think to resolve this problem? how i can resolve my problem about the update?

    Here you'll find the msi and msp files for the Acrobat Reader ("reader" folder on ftp) and Acrobat Pro ("acrobat" folder on ftp). ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/ . Save the link to your bookmarks.
    For updating/installing Flash Player you'll have to go over here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    There's a distribution license needed to deploy the flash player (don't ask my why the hell you'll have to get a license to deploy it in internal environments, although you can download and install it without the license).
    Best of luck, i needed a hole day to preparing deployment of cs5.5 and flash player etc. because of lack of information or consistency at the adobe pages and different methods for diffrent products. There should be a way to charge adobe the time it needs to get started, because they earn a damn lot of money with their cs products so they should provide better methods to do these tasks... but thats an endless story, because they're a monopolistic global player i think they aren't really interested in the needs of customers. There's not a real alternative, especially in education you're bound to use it, so you're gonna buy it anyway...
