Hi, maybe this help: for unattended install of Acrobat reader I use in batch file:
AdbeRdr1014_en_US.exe /msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES /qn
with file downloaded from [url]http://www.filehippo.com/download_adobe_reader/[/url]I didn’t use snapin for this, maybe in the future…
PS:
look here a full tutorial for sanpin creation:

or you could use the Adobe customization tool, it creates a .mst file within the setup folder, needing no switches

My snapin method probably needs polishing. I have a samba share on my FOG server that I use to store all of the installers. All of my snapins are vbscripts that are 90% the same code. Really all I do is map a drive to the samba share on the server, copy the installer, run the installer, write to a log file, and disconnect the mapped drive. The vbscript is a little lengthy because of the logging, but it always works for me.
Regarding Adobe, I’d just apply for a distribution license from Adobe so you can get access to their versions of shockwave, flash and reader for distribution. The provide several versions of each, one is an msi file. I’ve never been turned down. I think it lasts for a year.

Lee, can you give some more info on the custumization tool? Not sure where to find it.

You can get the tool from there and its pretty descriptive on tye page too, very easy to use, you just need to extract the setup files from the .exe. Easiest way to do tht is run the installer n once its loaded jdt grab the files from app data/temp cnt remember off the top of my head

The example snapin is Adobe Reader X
Where his example scripts call for “REGEDIT /S” though, I would recommend instead using “REG IMPORT” but maybe that’s just me. “REGEDIT /S” just didn’t work for me so I used REG instead.

Yeah I need to fix that, don’t use regedit /s, it doesn’t work
