I'm making a autoinstall batch program, and I want to install adobe reader silent. The problem is that it won't install silent. I'm getting the gui asking me to click next and wait. After it is installed it will open the browser. Is there anything so I can install Adobe Reader silent and without opening the browser.
This is the batch code:
@ECHO OFF
cd /d "%~dp0"
wget http://aihdownload.adobe.com/bin/install_reader11_nl_mssd_aih.exe -O Reader.exe
Reader.exe /S /norestart ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES
I've also tried this:
@ECHO OFF
wget http://aihdownload.adobe.com/bin/install_reader11_nl_mssd_aih.exe -O Reader.exe
start /wait Reader.exe /s
I couldn't find a fix for the browser. Hope this code helps a bit. I could use msi files but I can't find where to download it. Here is the ftp from adobe for the exe file:
Ftp: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.09/en_US/
Exe: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.09/en_US/AdbeRdr11009_en_US.exe
In most cases .msi switches "/quiet /passive /norestart" will do the trick
To help you take it further here is Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 full, Switchless install - completely silent!! - no desktop icon - checked on win 7 (x64x86)
The silent installer can be used in any Windows version that is compatible with the originals setup.
Created by "ugi" from wincert.net.
A nifty tool that can determine the switches of most installers automatically for you can be downloaded from here...Universal-Silent-Switch-Finder
And if you would like this tool in a "send to" add on, visit wincert.net and do a search in the add-on's section of the forum.
Hope my post makes your batch endeavors easier :) L8r
