Adobe Reader 9 install issue
Hi all
We're trying to create a custom installation of Adobe Reader 9 to deploy to 1800+ users. We have extracted the MSI and used the Adobe Customisation Wizard to generate a TRANSFORMS (MST) file. Our Document Management System (Interwoven) is hard-coded to look for AcroRD32.exe in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader" so we configured the MST to install Adobe Reader 9 to "C:\Program Files\Adobe", instead of the default installation path "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader". We're just deploying the following command in a batch file for now:-
msiexec /i \\server\share\AdobeReader9\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="\\server\share\AdobeReader9\AcroRead.mst" /qb! /norestart ALLUSERS=1 /l*vx C:\AdobeReader9.log
It appears to install to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader" as desired fine, we see many files/folders (56 items in total) but just as the MSI Installer finishes, it removes all files and leaves the 11 folders empty (we monitored this throughout the install by pressing F5 to refresh the screen). When we launch Adobe Reader for the 1st time only the MSI Installer starts up again and reinstates all files into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader" and the 11 sub-folders, before it opens Adobe Reader. How odd! We have re-created the MST from scratch but no joy. We did noticed that when we create another MST with the default installation path it works fine, in that it copies all files and folders during the installation to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader" and does not remove them at the end of the installation. So perhaps it does not like the install path change for some reason??
Does anyone know why this is happening and what we can do to fix it please? Huh?
Thanks
Scott
I now understand the MSI install appears to "rollback" for some reason. I have checked the verbose logfile and I do see references to "rollback" and have look a few lines before each "rollback" entry but I am still not sure why it is happening, if it is at all. I analysed the logfile using WiLogUtl.exe but no errors founds or clues as to why the install appears to "rollback".
I see no facility to attach the logfile, so could someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks
Scott

When I try and open a PDF i get this message "before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the end user license agreement then quit and relaunch the browser" When i install i never get to accept this because its not showing up
If you installed the Adobe Reader to the deafult location you will see it in your Hard Drive / Applications folder and not user's directory.
Try this:
1. Quit the Safari
2. From Finder > Go > Go to Folder... > type in the path : /Applications/ and hit 'Go'
3. Launch 'Adobe Reader'
4. Accept end user license
5. Open PDF in Safari. -

Detect if Adobe Reader installed
I have an Air app that runs on iOS, Android, and desktop. Can I detect if the device/PC already has Adobe Reader installed?
This is more of an issue with Android because it doesn't support the browser plug-in.
I simply want to prompt the user to install the Reader if they don't already have it installed.
Thanks,
DonJust a suggestion; I'm not sure if there is an easier way: check registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader" if it's present, then drill down "8.0\InstallPath" (or whatever version is installed. In the path you find in there (e.g. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader) you could check if "AcroRd32.exe" is present.
Another way you could check if the PDF file type associates with "AcroRd32.exe". -

View PDF File Without Adobe Reader Installed

I have Adobe reader installed. However, I am unable to open some files because it is asking for Adobe's approval to open the files. How do I do this please?
That message is NOT from Adobe, and has nothing to do with Adobe's approval for anything.
Quite the opposite: Adobe Reader is NOT YET RUNNING, Adobe aren't involved. Some other app or program is putting out that message. Have you tried giving that permission? -
I already have Adobe reader installed and have been using it. I am now being asked by my banks to accept the end user license agreement. How do i access this ?
Did you launch the Adobe Reader application separately (outside of the browser) and accept the EULA?

Hello,
We have two softwares ( medical application) which open pdf via adobe reader XI.
Theses softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install( using adobeArCleaner+Customisation Wizard XI).
At this point Internet Explorer is ok to open pdf with adobe reader...
We have to launch manually adobe reader once on the computer to make the two applications to manage openning pdf
Launching adobe reader seems to finish the installation...
Did the editors have to put an "option" when they open pdf ( to act like Internet Explorer...) ?
ThanksI am very glad to have a so rapid answered!
Sorry I was not precise...
When the file should open,
for one application an error is happening,
for the other application which is a "web" application, an other window ( not "web") opens with adobe reader and the pdf document ( the expected behavior is to open adobe reader and the pdf file in the web window already opened)
I think that the file association is ok, if we double clik on a pdf, adobe reader is opening and then the file is opening in adobe reader window...
If I open Internet Explorer and I search for a pdf on the web, It is openning in the same window web.
But something seems not finish for the medical softwares... -
