How to silently install Adobe Reader 11.0.03 with KACE?
I cannot find the parameters to install Reader 11.0.03 silently. For Reader 11.0.02 I used AdbeRdr110002_en_US.exe /sAll /rs /msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES but this will not work for the latest version. If anyone knows that would be great if you could share. Thanks!

I recommend using this tool here if you are familiar with MST's and transform files: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5515
Also, for a silent install of the MSI I personally always use VBscript. So the syntax for the silent install given with your MSI would be this, you can probably extract the MSI from the EXE using winrar or something smiliar:
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "msiexec /i adobeinstall.msi /qn"
Set WshShell = Nothing
WScript.Quit
If you did the customization wizard I linked, this would be your syntax:
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "msiexec /i adobeinstall.msi /qn TRANSFORMS=acrocustomization.mst"
Set WshShell = Nothing
WScript.Quit
Have you tried using the Adobe Customization Wizard to build a custom install and push that out? It gives you many options (including silent).

I've used "AdbeRdr11003_en_US.exe /msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES /qn" successfully. Have you tried the /qn switch?

i couldn't get /qn to work for me. It still prompts what i want to do with automatic updates. - areiner 11 years ago

Try UPDATE_MODE=0 to disable update; I used that for Adobe Reader XI (11.0.00) - rockhead44 11 years ago

I tried both of these and it is not working. It still asks what I want to do with updates. Something with 11.0.03 must be different because all the other 11.x versions of Reader worked flawless. - jmv 11 years ago

No even just manually. Have you tried that? It does need to run as administrator at least, if not the system user. - nheyne 11 years ago
AdbeRdr11010_en_US.exe /sAll /rs /l /msi /qb- /norestart EULA_ACCEPT=YES
