Silent install of 10.1.0 (MUI) Reader and patches leaves teh previous Version in Add remove prog

Hello,
having major issues with a silent install to 3300 users.
I Have a vb script that runs in SCCM to install reader 10.1.0 (MUI) and the increnetal patches for 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 both MUI.  I have created a transform to not use a desktop icon, turn on protect mode and supress the eula.  3 problems.
1.  The script searches for old versions and completly install the mui version over all with the following command line:
"AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst PATCH="AdbeRdrUpd1011_MUI.msp; AdbeRdrUpd1012_MUI.msp" ALLUSERS=1 LANG_ID=1033 PRODUCTLANGUAGE=1033 LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES REMOVE_PREVIOUS=YES EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES /qn /norestart /LOG c:\progra~1\Adobe\AdobeReader10.1.2.log"
Setup.ini file reads:
[Startup]
RequireOS=Windows 2000
RequireMSI=3.0
RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
CmdLine=/sl"1033" /rs /sPB

Problems on about 100 computers so far:
1.  If the system had 10.1.1  and not the 10.1.1 MUI and 10.1.2 MUI stay in Add Remove Programs
2. Systems that get the full uninstall and reinstall  even if adobe is closed and browser is closed and user can not read files from the web or email after the complete install to 10.1.2 mui.  Adobe works locally.
3.  Some systems appear to upgrade fine. 
HELP PLEASE!!!!

With Administrative Installation Points I've always found it best to remove the old version first with a script using [msiexec.exe /x {APPLICATION_GUID} ] before installing the new AIP.  You should read the documentation about 10.x AIP though.

    I am in the process of expanding a database of chemistry journal articles.  These materials are ideally acquired in two formats when both are available-- PDF and HTML.  To oversimplify, PDFs are for the user to read, and derivatives of the HTML versions are for the computer to read.  Both formats are, of course, readily recognized and indexed by Spotlight.  Journal articles have two essential components with regards to a database:  the topical content of the article itself, and the cited references to other scientific literature.  While a PDF merely lists these references, the HTML version has, in addition, links to the cited items.  Each link URL contains the digital object identifier (doi) for the item it points to. A doi is a unique string that points to one and only one object, and can be quite useful if rendered in a manner that enables indexing by Spotlight.  Embedded URL's are, of course, ignored by Spotlight.  As a result, HTML-formatted articles must be processed so that URL's are openly displayed as readable text before Spotlight will recognize them.  Conversion to DOC format using MS Word, followed by conversion to RTF using Text Edit accomplishes this, but is quite labor intensive.
      In the last few months, I have added about 3,500 articles to this collection, which means that any procedure for rendering URL's must be automated and able to process large batches of documents with minimal user oversight.  This procedure needs to generate a separate file for each HTML document processed. Trials using Automator's "Get Specified Finder Items" and "Get Selected Finder Items", as well as "Ask For Finder Items"  (along with "Get URLs From Web Pages") give unsatisfactory results.  When provided with multiple input documents, these three commands generate output in which the URLs from multiple input items are merged into a single block, which yields a single file using "Create New Word Document" as the subsequent step.  A one-to-one, input file to output file result can be obtained by processing one file at a time, but this requires manual selection of each item and one-at-a-time processing. What I need is a command that accepts multiple input documents, but processes them one at a time, generating a separate output for each file processed.  Is there a way for Automator to do this?

    Hi,
    With the project all done, i'm preparing for the presentation. Managed to get my hands on a HD beamer for the night (Epason TW2000) and planning to do the presentation in HD.
    That of course managed to bring up some problems. I posted a thread which i'll repost here . Sorry for the repost, i normally do not intend to do this, but since this thread is actually about the same thing, i'd like to ask the same question to you. The end version is in AfterEffects, but that actually doesn't alter the question. It's about export:
    "I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson  EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
    To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
    I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
    Project specs:
                        - 1920x1080 sq pix  (16:9)
                        - 25 fps
                        - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
    To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video  (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
    So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
    I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out."
    Please give it a look.
    Thanks,
    Jef

  • I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work.  How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

    I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac OS version 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work.  How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

    I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)."  My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac?  Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

  • How do I de-install Firefox 4 and return to the previous version?

    Firefox 4 is incredibly slow. It is making it very difficult for me to work on the internet. I want to de-install it and return to the previous version, which was much faster. Please advise me about how to de-install Firefox 4. thank you, sj

    I decide to go through and thin out my add-ons anyway, but it definitely was an add-on that was causing the slow-down. Now it's blazing again.
    Add-ons I disabled (ie, one of these or combination of, is the bad guy):
    * Measure It
    * Rainbow
    * Tag in Text Area

  • Tried to install newest itunes, crashed during install, and now crashes my computer every time i try to uninstall.  Itunes doesn't show up in the Add/remove prog list at all.  tried to roll back over a month, still crashing.

    So I tried to update to the newest Itunes.  It locked up my computer part way thru the install.  Black screen, computer turned itself off.  Now anytime i try to do anything with Itunes it shuts my computer down.  I can start up fine in safe mode but when i try to uninstall from there, Itunes doesn't exist.  the other apple programs do, but no itunes.  when i try to uninstall the other programs in safe mode it tells me it can't because the windows installer isn't loaded.  I have system restored to over a month ago and itunes still doesn't show up in add/remove programs.  however, i can open itunes.  it just tells me a file didn't get installed and to uninstall and reinstall.  So, how do i remove a progam that doesn't think it exists and crashes my computer when i try to do anything related to it???  I'm out of ideas.  running windows vista.

    I think my problem is fixed now.
    For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
    A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
    I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
    So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

  • I did instal Firefox 4 to my G5 Mac and can not use it, how do I remove it, deinstall it.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 to my G5 Mac, 1.8 GHz PowerPC, Mac Version 10.5.8, cannot use it. Want to know how do I deinstall it. I have the Firefox 2CD, can I use this to deinstall.
    Thank you, Georgia Simms

    Unfortunately, Firefox 4 supports only Mac OS X 10.5 and above on Intel hardware. The system that you are currently using is no longer supported by Firefox (details can be found [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html here)].
    <BR><BR>You can revert back to previous version of Firefox by following these steps:
    # Open the Applications folder.
    # Drag the Firefox application to the Trash.
    # Download and install Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html here].

  • Cannot install itunes, because previous version cannot be removed.

    I just removed Itunes (not sure the version) because I kept getting a message that I was unable to burn or copy any cd's and would be required to re-install Itunes. Now I try and download Itunes newest version and I receive a message that says Previous version of Itunes cannot be removed,please contact system administrator. I usually run my Ipod Shuffle and my daughter's Ipod touch. Now, I can't run either of them. Can anyone give me a suggestion that works. I tried removing Itunes and related programs as per Apple's support instructions.

    the message says unable to remove and to locate the source of AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi.
    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any *Apple Software Update* entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try reinstalling iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • HT1923 I have tried to remove and reinstall Itunes after they sent out the latest update.  Fails to install.  There is no way to go back to a previous version that works on windows 8.1

    Apple's latest update to iTunes failed to install on my computer with Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I have reinstalled in many times, removed Itunes via Control Pannel, etc. etc.  No luck.  Tried to go back to an older version, but all of the installs try to install the latest version.  I suspect there is a problem with this update and vesion.

  • I installed 4 beta on my iBook G4 OS 10.4 and it caused the previous version to be unusable; how can I revert and is it possible to restore my bookmarks?

    My iBook is running OS 10.4.11; after installing the beta about December 11 2010, neither version of Firefox is usable. I don't want to uninstall as my bookmarks will be lost. How can I correct this and still preserve the bookmarks I have?

    Firefox 4 will no work on OS X 10.4, it requires at least OS X 10.5
    You can trash the application and this will not remove the bookmarks. User data such as bookmarks and passwords are stored elsewhere in the profile folder, and trashing the application will not remove the profile folder. For more details see [[Uninstalling Firefox]].

  • Installed update for Quicktime for Leopard.  It indicates successful installation but actually hasnt installed. Did it a few times and also deleted my existing version and all QT preferences.  Still doesnt work.  any ideas?

    I have downloaded Quicktime for leopard fo rmy iMac (2 years old).  It indicated successful installation.  Then I purchased Quicktime Pro.  It didnt work.  So tried a download again. The same thing happened.  So I deleted absolutely everything including my old version of QT and also any preference files I found.  I tried again but the same thing happened.  It indicates successful installation but a search doesn't reveal anything anywhere.  I have had no previous trouble downloading any new programmes . They always install with no problem straight into applications.  there is lots of available memory.  Now I have no Quicktime whatsoever.
    Any ideas anyone?  Have tried speaking to the apple call centre in India.  He couldnt understand me and vie versa.  No use at all and it cost me a fortune for the phone call.  On the phone for an hour while this chap kept going to his supervisor. Why do companies continue to use call centres overseas?

    I have used Firefox since Firefox 0.7 or 0.9 but may have been 0.5. Seems like it was called something else but my memory is not that great.
    Before that I used Seamonkey and other variations of Mozilla. Before that I used Netscape. I even have/had a CD that I sent off for with the different releases going all the way back to the beginning (I think).
    I was a Mozilla crusader. When I saw someone using IE I would talk to them like they must be dumb until they switched haha. I have converted everyone who is close to me to firefox except my wife and I think she uses IE to irritate me.
    I work on the Internet. I spend no less than 12 hours and up to 18 hours a day with my fingers touching a keyboard that is connected to a computer or phone that is interacting with the Internet. I have Firefox on my Android phone, two laptops and my desktop. All of them crash constantly.
    When it crashes I lose work and time. Not to mention getting big headaches.
    I am very appreciative for the browser and yes I have made money donations. Not saying that makes me good. I look at it more like I am paying for great software.
    I never thought the day would come that I would say no more to Firefox. The day has come.
    When Firefox first came out it was small, good and fast. As time has went on it has become big, bad and slow. I feel like I am turning my back on a good friend but i can't take the crashing any longer.
    I am using Chrome now. Dang I hate to use anything google. Since I can't make my own browser I have to use what's out there and Chrome is fast. Sort of like Firefox used to be... except of course Chrome has all those phone home goodies.
    I won't be trying to convert anyone to Chrome but neither will I try to convert them to Firefox.
    I am not trying to start a flame war or anything here. As nuts as it sounds I felt like I should tell Firefox bye.
    Bye bye Firefox. it was good knowing you

  • Silent install of Photoshop Elements 10 via SCCM fails

    Hi all, hoping someone can help. I'm trying to push out deployment of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 via SCCM. From Adobe's site I found details on adding an XML file to preconfigure various default settings and perform a silent install.  I can push out
    the package to my test PC's cache folder no problem, but the advertisement fails with "Failed (bad environment)" message ID 10003. The system cannot find the file specified."
    However, I can install the program manually, running the same code from the command line. So, on my test PC, if I go to c:\windows\system32\cache\(package) from the command line, I can type the following "start /wait Setup.exe /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
    (as per Adobe's instructions) and Photoshop Elements 10 will silently install just fine.
    I've read elsewhere that SCCM can have issues with server paths and making use of the %~dp0 variable but I'm unsure if that applies here. In SCCM, in the program properties for PE10, the drive mode is set to "Runs with UNC name." I tried changing to 'requires
    drive letter" but it still failed. I'm guessing I'm dealing with some sort of environment issue but I'm stuck as to how to fix. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sir_Timbit

    I used "start /wait" as that was what was listed on Adobe's silent install instructions at http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-photoshop-elements-1.html
    Again, it installs fine manually, *if* I point a command prompt to c:\windows\system32\ccm\cache\(cache folder)\ and run the start /wait setup.exe line below. But through SCCM, the advertisement report shows:
    Message ID:10003. Failed (bad environment)
    An error occurred while preparing to run the program for advertisement "ABC20074" ("ABC00041" - "Install Photoshop Elements 10"). The operating system reported error -2147024894: The system cannot find the file specified. Additional program properties: Command

    drive letter connection to a distribution point could not be established, or when the program is configured to use the SMS Software Installation Account but the account is not specified, could not be found, or does not have the appropriate permissions. Solution:

  • Contribute CS5 Silent Install

    Has anyone succeeded in creating a silent install for Contribute CS5? I've tried both the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Addition tool and the setup executable response file parameter referenced in CPSID_82946 and KB405451 respectively.
    After generating the MSI install with the AAMEA tool, running the silent install looks likes it going to work and after 5 or 10 minutes puts most of the application in place. But then, the process backs out everything it did and provides no reason in log files other than to say that the installation failed.
    Running the set-up.exe with the --record=1 parameter installs the application fine but doesn't generate either the install.xml or the uninstall.xml file that it's supposed to generate.
    Adobe support says they don't provide support.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    We have failed in this as well, and have now given up. I am attempting all manual installs (I have over 160 users), and am not exactly happy. We had it all ready to go to deploy CS4, but got delayed and when we did it, it failed on 3 out of 4 installs. Most with different failures. So I decided to go with CS5 since it was now out and we had the licensing for it, but we couldn't get the installs to work at all over the network. Back to manual. I have customizations on the Welcome.dwt and tasks and need to ensure those are deployed as well, so we are trying manual installs, and I have to give the install to the technicians to do. Even this isn't working well. Need better directions on setting this up for mass deployment.

  • Fully automatic silent install of 1.4.2_10

    We're using Citrix Webinterface 4.0 with Citrix Java Client for remote access users (working at home). This works fine with Java 1.4.2_10. It does NOT work with MS Java VM or Java 1.5.x. So we need to ensure employees have Java 1.4.2_10 installed at their home pc's. We do not have administrative control over these pc's. Therefore we need to push the Java 1.4.2_10 software from the same webpage as their Citrix Webinterface login.
    QUESTION: I would like to create a hyperlink on the Webinterface login page where users can click to FULLY AUTOMATICALLY download and SILENTLY install the Java 1.4.2_10 software (and NOT the Java 1.5.x which is (non-silently) available at http://www.java.com/nl/download/ie_auto.jsp !!!!!)
    How can this be accomplished?
    Any help is much appreciated

  • What silent install command line option will Adobe change to next?

    I just discovered that Adobe has, yet again, changed the command line syntax for doing a silent install of the flash player. Apparently it's now just "-install" to do a silent install. Which makes me wonder, what will they call it next version?
    I have a few theories...
    install_flash_player_11.exe -fuggedaboudit
