HELP Installing Acrobat Reader DC thru Snap Ins

[asbenavides]

Im having trouble installing Acrobat Reader DC On the foglog it says “installing please do not shutdown” but when it finishes it wont install… I’ve tried different command switches and no luck maybe someone figured it out already thanks in advance

Are you using a network installer file or the web based installer?

@Tom-Elliott i think is a web based installer

@asbenavides Get the offline installer. If memory serves, there’s a little registration thing you have to fill out with Adobe (it’s free) to distribute their products (like flash, air, reader, etc.). Once you register, you’ll be sent a link that will allow you to download the offline installer MSIs. Now, reaching even further back into my memory I remember an argument called EULA_ACCEPT=yes that you’ll need to figure out & use (I probably remember the argument wrong).

@Wayne-Workman I’ve already did that and they sent me a link so i downloaded the Adobe Acrobat DC from that link…i had no trouble deploying adobe flash, but I can’t make reader work

@asbenavides I can say these commands install Acrobat Reader DC very well. I don’t use snapins so you may need to translate that into snapin format. We use a different tool, but we deploy using the following commands in a batch file.

  start /wait msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart
  start /wait msiexec.exe /i FontPack1500720033_XtdAlf_Lang_DC.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart

There is a tool “adobe acrobat dc customization wizard” that allows you to customize the Acro Reader install (which creates the transform file used in the above command). It lets you accept the eula, makes customization to the reader install there are quite a few guides on the internet for this, just search. For example: http://www.itninja.com/software/adobe/reader-6/dc
We throw in the APAC font pack file because we do interact with Asian countries.
