tpirog Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Been searching the forum for a basic Adobe Reader install script and everything is advanced and confusing to me. So far I have successfully created a Firefox 3.6 script, but for Reader 9.3.3 I can't get it to recognize my VERY FIRST "!n". Maybe because it pops up a new window (instead of reusing the one it begins with)? If someone might please offer me some guidance, I'd be real grateful. Here's what I have (too simple apparently): ;Run("AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe") WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader 9.3.3 - Setup") Send("{!n}") Send("{ENTER}") WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader 9.3.3 - Setup", "Setup Type") Send("{ENTER}") WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader 9.3.3 - Setup", "&Finish") Send("{ENTER}") Edited August 9, 2010 by tpirog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsure Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Can you post screenshots of the installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiVZ Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Try using the Adobe Acrobat Reader MSI installer instead of the .exe you have downloaded (you can either download the .msi file, or extract it from your existing .exe) Have a look here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404146.html Then use the WinActivate and Send that you have been trying to step through each screen, or use ShellExecuteWait("AdbeRdr93.msi", "/passive /norestart") to install showing only the progress bar or ShellExecuteWait("AdbeRdr933.msi", /qn /norestart") to do it completely silently.

willichan Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 You may also want to look at the "Adobe Customization Wizard 9". I used this, combined with AutoIt to do my deployments.http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3993 My UDFs: Barcode Libraries, Automate creation of any type of project folder, File Locking with Cooperative Semaphores, Inline binary files, Continue script after reboot, WinWaitMulti, Name Aggregator, Enigma, CornedBeef Hash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
