Create an Adobe Acrobat Reader Package including Updates (MSP)MSI to deploy
Posted in Adobe
| This post will show you how to create an Adobe Acrobat Reader MSI Package to deploy using a software deployment tool like LANDesk, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, Altiris or a similar tool. First we create an administrative install, then we patch the administrative install with the MSPs (patches).. |
 |
- Download the Adobe Acrobat Reader Setup files. You can either go to http://get.adobe.com/de/reader/ or use FTP to download the MSI / setup.exe from ftp.adobe.com – i prefer the latter. ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/
When using the FTP site, you can usually grab the MSI directly. If so, steps 2 to 5 are not necessary and you can proceed with step 6.
Save it to the Desktop - Choose Start > Run.
- In the Open text box type: "%UserProfile%\Desktop\AdbeRdr9x_en_US.exe" -nos_ne
change the filename to meet the name of the downloaded setup.exe .. - Click OK to start decompressing the file.
- When the Adobe Reader 9.x Setup screen clears, browse to the following location
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Setup Files - Create a new Directory called AdminInstallPoint
- Open a CMD
- Type: MSIExec /A "<pathToMsi>\9.3\AdbeRdr930_de_DE.msi" TARGETDIR=c:\temp\AdminInstallPoint
The Windows Installer will create an Administrative Installation of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. This Admin Install can then be patched with MSP (Microsoft Installer Patches).. - Download the latest patches from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/
- To apply these Patches, type: msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd932_all_incr.msp;AdbeRdrUpd933_all_incr.msp
