Weird. Dunno what I was doing wrong but I did finally get it to work. Dave

GRRR I just set all the options in the wizard and then run the exe(or is it an msi, I forget) it creates without any cmd line switches. Works every time. From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Sent: Friday, 16 December 2011 4:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Acrobat X Std upgrade via customization wizard. GRRR Since Acrobat 8 is no longer being patched I am trying to get version X rolled out. I have used the customization wizard but can't seem to get it to apply. The tool creates an .MST (Transforms) file, but I can't get it to work - it acts as if the MST file doesn't exist. In fact when I specify the transforms file it asks more questions than when I don't use it. My command line: msiexec /i "Z:\ Adobe Acrobat X Pro\AdminInstallPoint\AcroPro.msi" TRANSFORMS=" Z:\ Adobe Acrobat X Pro\AdminInstallPoint\AcroPro.mst" It asks all sorts of Q's like "do you want to remove the previous version?". If I don't specify a transforms file I can get it to install and it removes the old version fine, but it doesn't take any of the settings I used in the customization wizard. If I open that .MSI with Adobe's Customization Wizard it shows the options I've selected (the tools title even shows "AcroPro.msi transformed by AcroPro.mst"). Surely it's something very simple. Anyone?
