Adobe 10.1.2 reader Customization Wizard

I downloaded the following Exe from adobe yesterday to distribute via SCCM 2007.
AdbeRdr1012_en_US.exe
I extracted the exe above and used the Adobe Cusotmization Wizard X to confiure the package for SCCM deployment.  My problem is the extraced msi appears to install version 10.1.0.
If i run AdbeRdr1012_en_US.exe manually it installs the correct version 10.1.2 what am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Upon extracting AdbeRdr1012_en_US.exe, you should see AcroRead.msi file along with Reader 10.1.2 msp file plus few more files. As you are customizing AcroRead.msi and so running it, will end up installing 10.1 since you have not included 10.1.2 patch.
However, while running AdbeRdr1012_en_US.exe, this in turn runs the setup.exe file, which read Setup.ini file, where10.1.2 patch is referred and hence ends up installing 10.1.2.
You can do the following,
Once you have extracted the exe and customized AcroRead.msi. Use the below command line to install Reader 10.1.2,
msiexec /i AcroRead.msi PATCH="<path to AdbeRdrUpd1012.msp>" TRANSFORMS="<path to transform file .mst>"

  • Adobe reader Customization Wizard 9

    Hi
    I have recently downloaded Adobe 9.3 and installed it as an administrative install on one of our deployment servers, I have patched it to the latest patch 9.3.1 and I have tried to customize the MSI package with mixed success.
    I have managed to make it a silent installation with the reboot supressed.  I have also managed to hide the EULA.
    However I am trying to get the "check for updates" option to disappear along with some of the other online options which you can configure in the Wizard.  When these didn't work the first time round I decided to look for the registry setting which I found and I have added via the Wizard.  That didn't work either.
    I have tried manually executing the registry key which works however for the tidiness and simplicity of the installation I want it to be a single installation package which can be deployed through group policy.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to why the Wizard isn't working I would be most grateful!

    It doesn't seem Adobe really cares about supporting IT personnel. Thanks for a tool that doesn't work properly and you provide no support for.
    What I've found is that it will remove previous Acrobat reader versions! So it's not harmless when that option is checked and greyed out.

  • Issues with setting "Maked Reader the default PDF viewer" with Adobe Customization Wizard XI

    I am using the Adobe Customization Wizard XI. I have set the following options in the Adobe Customization Wizard.
    Personalization Options
    Enabled the checkbox for Suppress display of End User License Agreement (EULA)
    Installation Options
    Selected the radio button for Make Reader the default PDF viewer
    Run Installation: selected radio button Silently(No Interface)
    Security
    Enhanced Security Settings - Clicked drop down and set value to Disable
    Online Services and Features
    Checked Disable product updates
    Checkd In Adobe Reader, disable Help > Purchase Adobe Acrobat
    Checked Disable Product Improvement Program
    Checked Disable Viewing of PDF with Ads for Adobe PDF
    Checked Disable all Adobe online services based workflows and entry points.
    I have tried to deploy the MSI with MST via GPO and Command Line with no luck.  Every time i deploy via below methods, the same result occurs, all of the options are set correctly except the "Make Reader the default PDF viewer".  I know how to manually set this option via Windows or Adobe interfaces but i am looking to roll this out to the masses and would not want a bunch of service desk calls because a user clicks on an Adobe PDF file and it is not opening in Adobe Reader.
    GPO
    Create New Package Use AcroRead.msi
    Choose Advanced
    Deployment Options - Click Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management.
    Modifications - Select Transform file located in the folder of MSI
    Command Line.
    Tried these options to try and apply "Make Reader the default PDF viewer"
    msiexec /i  "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst"
    msiexec /i  "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst" /qn
    msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read
    msiexec /i  "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst" IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read /qn
    Anyone know how to make this setting work with the Transform file, i sure would appreciate assistance on this issue.

    Instead of saving as a PDF thru Work do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF and it will be saved the first time with the Preview icon.

  • Adobe Customization Wizard X doesn't set Adobe Reader X to be default when customizing Acrobat X

    I've recently started working with Adobe Customization Wizard X.
    I've got Adobe Reader X customized and it's already installed all computers. Now, I'm working on customizing Adobe Acrobat X. During the customization, I only have the following 2 options:
    1. Installer will decide which product will be the default
    2. Make Acrobat the default PDF viewer
    Choosing the 1st option, makes Acrobat as the default PDF viewer. In other words, I don't get an option to keep Adobe Reader X as the default on the existing computer.
    Found a blog in Adobe site which suggests running Adobe Reader installation again after Acrobat is installed. Although it works, it just isn't a good solution (my opinion).
    http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/03/installing-acrobat-x-and-reader-x-on-the-same- machine.html
    Can you advise what're the registry setting that I can set during the Acrobat X customization so that it doesn't become the default PDF viewer.

    Hi Ben,
    Here's what I am trying to accomplish I had Acrobat Standard v10.1.4 scripted so I can deploy it to a Citrix Server (XENAPP6) via SCCM 2007 I have at least 50 licenses of Acrobat Standard deployed to 50 users. All of our Citrix Servers have Adobe Reader v10.* installed as our default pdf viewer. There are other apps that are deployed to this Citrix Server and I wanted to make sure that pdf files open on Adobe Reader instead of Acrobat Standard.
    I had to change the installer tables directly so I don't have to get it re-scripted to use this command line. Is it a best practice not to change the isntaller table?
    msiexec /i "\\source\Acrobat10\AcroStan.msi" transforms="\\source\Acrobat10\AcroStan.mst" LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=”YES” /qb /norestart
    Thanks a lot for your help I'm looking forward to hear from you.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Reader 8.2 not working on Adobe Customization Wizard 8

    I tried creating a transform file from Adobe Reader 8.2 using Adobe Customization Wizard 8. However, the tool won't generate the transform and is looking for Setup.ini.
    I looked again at the installer that I got and it is now a single msi file unlike the previous releases which is a compressed Setup.exe that I used to decompress and get the msi, cab file and the setup.ini.
    Anyone know how to get the compressed Setup.exe version of Adobe Reader 8.2 or how will it work with the Adobe Customization Wizard 8?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Since I have previous deployment of the application, I just edited the old Setup.ini that I have. here's what I edited:
    [Product]
    msi=AdbeRdr820_en_US.msi  --> this is the part that that customization wizard is looking for and should be the same name as the msi installer.
    We are using Marimba for deployment, The Customization Wizard helps a lot in generating the transforms that I need for Adobe Reader.

  • Need to run Adobe Customization Wizard every time for each new reader update?

    Hi there,
    This should be a simple question...
    Do I need to run Adobe Customization Wizard every time on each new incremental reader update, or just once per major revision (e.g. Reader 9, Reader X)?

    This question hasn't been answered because it would be better asked in the enterprise deployment forum. The Wiz is an ent deployment tool and only is used for initial deployments in most cases. You use it to customize the installer and the product when it's first installed. You could use it for any install, but that is a less common scenario.
    Usually, you customize the first version you install and then just apply updates as they are released.
    HTH.

  • Remove previous versions of Reader greyed out in Adobe Customization Wizard 9

    Hi everyone.  I'm trying to make an SMS pushable custom MSI with the Adobe Customization Wizard 9, to roll out Acrobat Reader 9 to all my PCs.  The big reason i wanted to use the ACW9 was so I could force it to uninstall all the old versions of Reader on my computers, which i have a lot of different versions of 7 and 8 out there.  When I go to  the screen in ACW9, the option to remove previous versions of Reader is greyed out and unchecked, and the rmeove previous versions of Acrobat is greyed out and checked (which is what i dont want to do).  Any ideas how to get this to work right?  I have both older versions of Reader and Acrobat Pro on my computer i'm using to build it, so it isn't that.

    It doesn't seem Adobe really cares about supporting IT personnel. Thanks for a tool that doesn't work properly and you provide no support for.
    What I've found is that it will remove previous Acrobat reader versions! So it's not harmless when that option is checked and greyed out.

  • Adobe Customization Wizard XI with Reader XI-not all options are available

    I'm using the Adobe Reader XI redistributable (yes, I got the license and special download, etc.)
    I've followed the Enterprise administration kit which makes me extract and build an AIP.  All is well
    What I notice is that the Customization Wizard has some options grayed out.
    For example, the DOCS for the customization wizard say that I can fill out username, organization, etc.
    But those are grayed out.
    Also, I cannot select the Installation Options -> Remove previous version of Acrobat (it's grayed out).  I can only select the Remove all versions of Reader.
    Any idea why this is?
    I point it to the AIP reader .MSI File when i built the customization kit.

    You should post this on the Enterprise Deployment forum but  the username, organization, etc... are for Acrobat only.  The ability to uninstall Acrobat is for Acrobat only.  It would be a bad thing for Reader to uninstall a more capable product like Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro no matter what the version.

  • Adobe Customization Wizard X with Reader 10.1.3

    Hi all,
    First time trying to use the Adobe Customization Wizard X and i wanted to install version 10.1.3 but everytime i use the wizard it always sets it to version 10.1.0.
    any ideas?
    thanks

    Hi!
    Same here. Im using wizard X to create a deployable msi of Adobe Reader 10.1.3 but its not working. Everytime i open the msi the wizard transforms it into a 10.1.0 package.
    I tryed with 10.1.2 and 10.1.3. It always results in a 10.1.0 installation.
    Update: After extracting the setup.exe the resulting msi is definatly a 10.1.0. How could that be? So the wizard is not the problem.
    I hate it. It takes me a whole day to read annyoing tutorials of how to make a adobe reader deployment work. I´m sorry Nikhil but your answer is not helpful. Please tell us what is exactly to do?
    p.s. i dont understand why there is no msi file+wizard+tutorial in your download area? I was searching about 4 hours in different sources until i finally understood that i have to download the .exe from your hidden ftp, then run it with -nos_ne parameters to get msi, stored somewhere stupid in  c:\programData\adobe\setup\blablablabla, download wizard, configure the msi getting a mst, put this and that on a share, set grouppolicy and and and and and.... ******* which admin has time for stuff like that? HELLO?! Its only an adobe reader deployment not a  spaceshuttle! Im tired now and have to go to rehab for 1 week. Thank you.

  • Where do I find the Customization Wizard for Adobe Reader XI?

    I went to this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/index.html
    In there, the Tune an installer prior to deployment section mentions the Customization Wizard, but the link points to ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/11.0.0/misc/, where there is only the ADM templates.
    When will this be available?

    Mac of Win?
    For Mac, please try this:  ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/mac/11.x/11.0.00/misc/
    The Win version is not ready yet.   We expect to have it ready in early November.

  • Adobe Customization Wizard X issue PDF icon and disable display in browser after installation

    I have used the Adobe Customization Wizard X wizard to setup a .MTS files for the custom install. When this is installed using SCCM 2012 with command (msiexec /q /i "\\Server\Share\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\Server\Share\AcroRead.mst") this all works fine but all PDFs on the machine that gets this deployment (Windows 7 x64 or Windows XP x86) the icons for the .pdf don't show the Adobe icon they show the generic Windows icon when the program is not assigned but still work to launch Adobe reader. I have tried to unistall and reinstall but still the same resaults. If I install the .msi with no .mst the icon shows up just fine. So it has to be something with when you use the customization wizard or the .mst. I have also tried assigning .PDF to another program and the icon changes to that program and assign it back and no icon. Also if I set Display PDF in browser = Disabled this setting does not stick. I have just installed via Adobe not using SCCM via command line I get the same resaults.
    I have only selected these customizations:
         Installation Options:
    Silently (No interface)
    Suppress reboot
         Shortcuts
    No desktop Icon
           EULA
    Suppress display of End User License Agreement (EULA)
         Online Features
    Disable all updates
    Disable Help > Purchases Adobe Acrobat
    Disable Product Improvement Program
    Display PDF in browser = Disabled

  • Adobe Customization Wizard XI: setup.ini was not found (while saving the MSI)

    I have downloaded the Adobe Customization Wizard XI and the Adobe Reader XI .msi file. I am only attempting the customize three options of this application. When I try to save the .msi file I get an error "setup.ini was not found".
    I have placed the .msi file in a folder on the desktop. Additionally, I have tried using 7-Zip to extract the .msi in an effort to find the setup.ini file.
    Where is this file located? What is the solution?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Just install Adobe Reader on a machine.  Then you will get the flat files in a folder location that has the Setup.ini file.  It will be something like this depending on your OS:
    Windows 7 64-bit Example Location
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Setup\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AB0000000001}\
