Problem to create a msi using Adobe customization wizard
Hi,
I am a NATO engineer in charge for testing all kind of patches. We are creating a transformation file and pack it into an msi for a network distribution using your Adobe Customization wizard. Eventhough, the mst file is correctly created changes are not applied into the msi. Any idea why it happened?
regards,
We have a forum setup to help you with exactly those issues:

Unable to customize Designer.msi from Adobe Customization Wizard
Hello Everyone,
Need help! Been trying to customize Adobe Life Cycle ES4 version 11 from Adobe Customization Wizard version 11. I come up with the following error when I open up the Designer.msi file. "Wizard cannot modify this MSI package. Please browse to a vaild Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat MSI pcakage."
Any suggestions would be helpful!
thank youI'm inclined to think it doesn't, not just because of the message (which is pretty convincing) but because LiveCycle products are entirely different product group and practices (notwithstanding the former bundling). LiveCycle (the suite) is aimed firmly at the enterprise sector so I'd expect it to have its own enterprise deployment documentation.

Customize default toolbar using Adobe Customization Wizard 9?
I'm trying to add the Select Tool, Hand Tool, and Fit Width Tool to my standard build. I've looked through the Direct Editor portion pretty extensively and didn't see anything promising. Did I miss something? What is the preferred method of deploying this kind of customization? I saw some people using JavaScript to hide options but this seems obtuse considering there is a customization tool.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
AJIt 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 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. -
I've updated Adobe Reader to version 11.0.09 and it was discovered that the Advanced Search (Ctrl+Shift+F) reports back errors on all words searched inside PDF document/
Reproduce:
1. Use Adobe Customization Wizard XI
2. Create a MST file for the Base Adobe Reader 11.0.0 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi)
3. Under Security -> Protected View -> (Set to ALL FILES)
4. Save MST file
5. Install Adobe Reader XI using created MST File and then Install AdbeRdrUpd11009.msp
6. Open any PDF document and search for words using advanced search: (Ctrl+Shift+F) All searches return errors unable to display search.
The error can be reproduced and only occurs on Adobe Reader 11.0.09. None of the previous patches of Adobe had this issue.
The fix actually requires to remove and re-install Adobe Reader but with Protected View=OFF
Please can you confirm bug and report any solution or workaround so that Advanced Search works with Reader 11.0.09?
ThanksHi vmartin01,
I tried to check at my end and it works fine at my end.

I just created an AIP version of Adobe 11.0.10, applied our settings with the .mst through Adobe Customization Wizard. But something is blocking it from opening the software, it just flickers the windows explorer, if I uncheck all the settings for the Online Services and Features it lets me open it but i can't skip the registration screen. Has something changed with this version of 11.0.10?
Having the same problem here. Even if not creating an AIP, and instead doing a standard install of AcroPro.msi and patching with 11.0.10's msp, it'll result in a registration loop that can't be skipped.
Applying an Adobe ID allows for getting through the screen, but obviously, in an enterprise environment, that's not ideal.
This issue was something that I experienced with 11.0.07, and it went away with 11.0.08 and 11.0.09, but seems to have returned with 11.0.10.
Previously, I was able to get around the issue by clearing out some files from the Common Files\Adobe directory, particularly Adobe PCD and SLCache, as well as including the Adobe regids stored in ProgramData,but that fix no longer works with this latest version.
If REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS is set to YES, the result is Acrobat closing and opening in a loop, since it can't get through the registration screen.
I'm currently investigating for a registry key that might possibly applied to circumvent this issue, but I haven't found one yet.
For Adobe Acrobat 8, it used to be stored in the following two places, per Prompted to register repeatedly | Acrobat 8 | Windows
32-bit Windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\AdobeViewer
64-bit Windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\AdobeViewer
However, the registry structure seems to have changed since then. -
Using Adobe Customization Tool XI to deploy Acrobat STD and PRO
Hello,
I'm using Adobe Customization Tool XI to build Adobe Acrobat STD and PRO packages.
It seems that none of my changes stick during deployment.
Example: I open AcroStan.msi with the tool. Make all necessary changes and generate transform file. I then exit without saving changes to AcroStan.msi file.
After that I test the installation in C:\Test folder with the following command:
msiexec /i acrostan.msi TRANSFORMS=test.mst
Installation window pops up since I didn't use silent installation switches, but none of the information I have provided are available, it defaults to out of the box experience asking for serial number as well.
Am I doing something wrong?
LukeI have created .mst file named test and put it in c:\New Folder along with all source files, including AcroStan.msi
Command line:
c:\new folder>msiexec /i AcroStan.msi TRANSFORMS=test.mst /qb (I've used QB to watch the progress).
It failes with this error attached below.
We can close this subject though.
I've started testing this on different machines and they all work fine.
I have many VMs to test on, and the one I have picked to start with is causing the above error so I'm going to link this issue with the OS.
Other VMs and desktops are working great. -
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}\ -
A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore HELP
Hi, please help with my issue which is as follows:
A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore and sends a message saying that the file is not compatible.
What should I do, I have invested so much in that file and I dont think i will be able to do it all over again.That's why people do incremental saves and use backups... You could try to open the file in an image viewer like IrfanView and see which parts are salvagable, but that's as good as it gets most likely...

I'd like to know if I can create an app using Adobe DPS, then pass the folio to a programmer to add advanced interactivity that DPS doesn't provide. I would like the programmer to use either XCode or Android SDK because it is a standard, but they can also use C#, JavaScript, and several other coding languages. The folio would serve the purpose of a tight digital comp for the programmer.
Thanks for your help Bob! I found this article on the Adobe site. Figured I'd share it. http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/import-html-articles.html

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?
thanksHi!
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. -
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.
