Local Installer Files Not Cached
I'm hoping someone can help me with my Acrobat 7 Standard & Pro install problem.
I've created an administration installation, patched it up to 7.0.9, and created a transform. Within the transform I've ticked the box to say "cache installation files".
I distribute the package using Altiris. Altiris copies the admin installation files to a temp folder on the PC, runs the installation and then deletes the temp directory.
My problem is thus :
1) My "SOURCELIST" registry entry for the product shows as being the temporary directory that Altiris used to install the product
2) If I check the location where the source files should be cached ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Setup Files\Acrostan\ENU") all I see is "acrostan.msi" and "data1.cab" both with 0 bytes
As a test, if I repeat the above procedure with an older version (7.0.8) and then try and patch the installation locally to 7.0.9, sure enough I get prompted to locate the source files as it can't find them, the first location it suggests is the original Altiris installation directory.
Anyone know whats going on ? Does the windows installer not bother caching install files if it see the product is being installed from a local hard drive as opposed to removeable or network media?
Anyones help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ellis
