  • Adobe Reader 9.3.2 silent install package questions, please ...

    Hello:
      I am a network and Desktop Support person for a higher education facility.  I was asked to take over automating software application
    installs.
      I have a script process, created by Auto-It (Scite script editor), that has been working well for Adobe Reader 9.1 with updates to 9.1.1, 9.1.2 and 9.1.3 (found on the Internet) -
    msiexec /i \\<server>\<path>\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=\\<server>\<path>\AcroRead_10132009.mst /passive /norestart /update \\<server>\<path>\AdbeRdrUpd911_all_incr.msp;\\<server>\<path>\AdbeRdrUpd912_all_incr.msp; \\<server>\<path>\AdbeRdrUpd913_all_incr.msp
      My questions:
    Is there a similar process for installing Adobe Reader 9.3 silently and then updating to 9.3.2?
    If so, what are the steps, ex. expand/extract the initial 9.3 .EXE, then create a transform using Orca/<transform making of choice>, etc.?
    With having read of some issues in this forum regarding Adobe Reader 9.3.2, should I continue using 9.1.3 and wait?
      Thank you for your time.

    Well we have a wiki where I work, and here is then entry I have created on how to deploy Adobe Reader. See if any of this helps, if not, we'll take it from there.
    Deployment
    It is HIGHLY recommended that you read and follow the directions of the deployment guide provided by Adobe located at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/deploying_reader9.pdf. The documentation located here is simply for a quick reference for those who have already read the guide.
    The rights to distribute Adobe Reader must be obtained by filling out the form found at http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/rdr_distribution1.html. After filling out the form and being accepted to distribute Adobe Reader, you will receive an email with a link to download the redistributable version of Adobe Reader. You will be prompted to download a .exe package containing the Reader MSI file. The general form of the command to convert a Nosso-compressed file to an MSI package is:
    <path to>\AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe [<switches>...]
    Switch
    Description
    -nos_ne
    Do not execute any file after installation (overrides the -e switch) This switch should be used if user only wants to extract the installer contents and not run the installer.
    -nos_o
    Specifies the name of folder where the contents of the expanded package are to be placed. The folder name should be enclosed in quotation marks. It is best if you do not use an existing folder, and there should be no space following the “-nos_o”.
    For example:<path to>\AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe -nos_o”TestFolder” -nos_ne
    Using the extracted MSI, create an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using the command-line:
    msiexec /a <path to>\AcroPro.msi transforms=<path to>\AcroPro.mst
    The AcroPro.mst transform file is created by the Adobe Customization Wizard 9
    You can apply any patches that may have been released since the major version release. Use the command-line:
    msiexec /a <path to>\AcroPro.msi /p <path to>\AdbeRdrUpd931.msp;<path to>\AdbeRdrUpd932.msp
    Once all this is complete, you can fully deploy the software by running the command-line:
    <path to>\AcroRead.msi transforms=<path to>\AcroRead.mst /qb
    More information can also be found in the Enterprise Administration Guide

  • Adobe Reader 11.0 won't install through firefox - click save and then nothing else happens

    Adobe Reader 11.0 won't install through firefox - I click save file when requested it switches to Step 2 of 3 but nothing is there and I have waited for a very long time for it to load.  Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi Pat,
    After your last email I decided to continue to trouble shoot the problem and finally found the answer from another user.  Oddly enough when using Firefox it will default to a location on your computer to save downloads.  If it encounters a problem it doesn't identify it, the program just "loops" back to the start of the download sequence.  Once I changed the folder that the downloads are sent to the original way of upgrading occurred without fault.
    I will go back into the discussion group and credit you with the answer because I really appreciate your assistance.
    Thank you, Jim

  • Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?

    Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • I have the Mac OS 10.9.4  I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install.  Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

    I have the Mac OS 10.9.4  I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install.  Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

    More information would be good.
    What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
    so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install. 
    Again, what exactly is happening?
    And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.

  • I have downloaded adobe reader 20 times and still can't view any of my statements on my credit cards

    You write "downloaded", but did you also install it?
    Also, are these online docs?  If so, what browser do you use?

  • Adobe Reader 9.2 and AIR hotfix

    I'm running into an Adobe reader 9.2 and AIR compatibility problem. I developed an AIR App with
    browser panel that invokes a PDF doc using Adobe Reader. When I update to the latest Adobe
    Reader (9.2), I start having errors with a dialog saying errors related to the CoolType.dll.
    I found this in one of the devnet articles which mentions a hotfix. Where do I get it??
    I cannot find it anywhere on the Adobe site.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/reader/articles/reader_compatibility/readercomp_overview.pdf
    AIR
    AIR applications are unable to load a PDF using Reader 9.2
    AIR applications that load a PDF in the broswer will no longer work with Adobe Reader 9.2.
    Recommended action: This issue will be addressed in an upcoming patch release to Reader. For
    enterprises which can control the deployment of Reader, a hotfix is available from Adobe Support.
    Thanks in advance,
    Eddy.

    As special service for you I just downloaded and installed the Reader V9.2,
    opened the Reader via activex embedde into a small GUI
    and loaded via src a testfile.
    Then printed the file (manual via menuitems/print icon) with some different settings.
    All works fine. Did you try other manual actions, like copy to clip, rotate, ...
    Maybe it is a problem with your GUI.
    Try to start embedded using IE as GUI or simple try if you can print a pdf opend via IE.
    IE use the same activex as you for you GUI.
    HTH, Reinhard

  • Adobe reader quit working and won't open

    Hi...  I have been running Adobe Reader 8 on an XP machine for quite a while with no problem.  Suddenly Adobe Reader quit opening.  When I double click on the icon, nothing happens.  When I open a PDF file nothing happens.  It just won't do anything. This is my bosses computer, so I am not sure what he may have accidentally done to create the problem.  I can usually fix whatever mistakes he makes, but I am at a loss on this one.
    I have tried uninstalling adobe reader and reinstalling several times.  I have tried versions 9 and 10 as well, but I have the same result.  The uninstall and reinstall process seems to run fine and I get a message at the end that adobe reader x.x was installed successfully.  Then the program fails to open.  I have also tried running the program through another admin user account, but this does not help either.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks Claudio...  I tried your suggestion.  I ran the fixit program from microsoft.  This ran fine, of course it is focusing on problems with installation and uninstallation.  I tried both ways.  I found a dictionary pack for adobe reader 8 that was still installed.  I removed it and let the fixit program fix any problems.  It did it's thing, so I downloaded the full installer for adobe reader 10 from the link.  I restarted the computer and installed adobe reader from the download after rebotting.  Again, the installation seemed to work fine.  No problems were indicated.  Then when I double click the icon to open the program, I get an hourglass for about 2 seconds then nothing.  It just does not open.  I have tried opening it several ways to no success.
    I really need this to work, but short of wiping the hard drive and reloading everything I am at a loss.  Are there any alternatives out there to adobe reader?  We routinely use several websites that require adobe reader to function properly.
    Thanks again...

  • Adobe Reader 9.1 won't install or uninstall

    I updated to the new adobe reader 9.1 and got "Error 1606. Could not access network location %APPDATA5\." I have Windows Vista Home Premium.  It gives this and also message "internal error found" and at times closes my IE.  I tried to uninstall and got the same error.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Download, install, and run Windows Installer CleanUp Utility; remove all versions of Adobe Reader, then try again.

  • Adobe reader updater is ready to install but won't -- need help

    adobe reader  updater is ready to install but gets stuck on step 2 -- need help

    It's OK.  I finally got Reader XI installed.  But once installed, the program would then lock up and show an error message whenever I tried  to open any of my existing PDF docs.  So I finally just gave up and deleted Reader XI from my system.  Fortunately, my existing version of Reader seems to work just fine.  Maybe I'll try again later after Adobe has worked out the kinks with Reader XI.  But thanks anyway for responding--no further help needed now.  I'm out.

    what is the problem?
    Well, you're not telling us anything, that's the problem. No offense, but really, just saying that something doesn't work is not gonna yield any answers that would help. We wil lat least need a tiny bit of info about your system - operating system, possibly hardware specs, definitely info about security tools and otehr Adobe software...

  • Cannot install new adobe reader- says old version still installed

    Hi there, looking for a little help please.  An old version of adobe reader, 7.1 shows as installed on this computer so when I try and install a new version it gives me an error.  When I try to uninstall it via the windows add/remove programs, it says that it can't uninstall.  How can I get adobe reader 7.1 out of my system?  If I need to edit the registry to get it out of there, what changes need to be made?
    Thanks.

    Thanks,  I was having a similar problem, and this solution took care of it.
    good work
