== Adobe Reader 8, MSI Installer ==
(There is also another page just for [[Adobe Reader 8]])
Download the MSI installer package.
Beware that some MSI packages are broken; i.e. AdbeRdr812_it_IT.msi (size 21664 KB, timestamp 12/01/2008 7.07.00) fails even when double clicked interactively by an Administrator.
You can customize your MSI package deployment by creating a "Microsoft Windows Installer Transform File" .MST file with the "Adobe Customization Wizard 8" tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3564
The install command installs version 8.1.2 and then Security Update 1 for version 8.1.2 at the same time.
The upgrade command only installs the Security Update 1, under the assumption that version 8.1.2 is already there and you just increment the revision number.

I used some additional commands to customize the installation after applying the package. Here is the code of the files.
acceptEula.reg:
<PRE>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AdobeViewer]
"EULA"=dword:00000001
"Launched"=dword:00000001
</PRE>
disableBeyond.reg:
<PRE>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\Downtown]
"bDontShowAtLaunch"=dword:00000001
</PRE>
disableSpeedLauncher.reg:
<PRE>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Adobe Reader Speed Launcher"=-
</PRE>
cleanup.cmd
<PRE>
@echo off
echo Removing unnecessary shortcuts
del /F "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop\Adobe Reader*.*"
exit 0

== Acrobat Reader 7 ==
In, for example, %PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup FilesRdrBig708\ENU_ (and also ENU, though this probably comes from the Enterprise Edition installer) are
<code>Adobe Reader 7.0.8.msi</code> and <code>Data1.cab</code>. Copy these files to your server and use them to deploy Adobe Reader on other workstations.
Take care of the language version, the one below is English. A package in a different language will also have a different ID for the remove command. If you previously have a package called acrobat7, increment the revision number - the upgrade command comes into effect and obsoletes 7.0 and 7.0.1 to 7.0.4 packages.
<source lang="xml">
<package
id="adobe-reader"
name="Adobe Reader 7.0.5"
revision="5"
priority="10">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Reader 7.0.5" />
<install cmd='msiexec /q /i "%SOFTWARE%\Adobe Reader 7.0.5.msi" allusers=1' />
<remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /q /x{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A70500000002}' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /q /i "%SOFTWARE%\Adobe Reader 7.0.5.msi" allusers=1'>
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
</upgrade>
</package>
</source>
Exit code 3010 means "reboot"; see the corresponding reboot flag.
In the 'remove' section, change the third part of the alphanumeric chain (i.e. the '1033' in 'AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A70500000002') into the correct locale ID (LCID) / National Language Support (NLS) code, for example:<br>
*Chinese (Traditional): 1028
*Czech: 1029
*German: 1031
*English (US): 1033
*French: 1036
*Japanese: 1041
*Korean: 1042
*Polish: 1045
*Chinese (Simplified): 2052
*Italian: 1040
There is a list of locale IDs at http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/lcid-all.mspx.
