+===== MSI - Microsoft Installer =====
+Msi Installers are mainly needed to install Software in a network remotely, per Group Policy Objects. See the article about [[remote_installation]] for details.
+==== Howto create ====
+Free Software [[http://www.scalable.com/softwaredownload | WinINSTALL LE ]] is able to register all System changes before and after the installation of a programm and to pack these changes into a msi Package.
+==== Adobe Reader ====
+==get msi==
+[[ ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/ | Here]] is an ftp Server, for downloading Adobe's standalone installers, instead of these Internet installers.
+If there is no ready msi installer avaiable, then you can unpack an Adobe-Reader .exe File, to get an .msi File, which is necessary to deploy using GPO.\\
+-nos_o is the extraction Folder Parameter\\
+-nos_ne is the no-execution-after-unpacking Parameter
+<code>
+…\..\AdbeRdr1001_de_DE.exe -nos_o"Reader" -nos_ne
+</code>
+==patch msi using an msp file==
+Often Adobe has only the Patch files in msp format on its Server. This means that we have to slipstream the patch into the msi Package.
+<code>
+msiexec.exe /a AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp
+</code>
+==disabling auto updates==
+[[Here | http://wpkg.org/Adobe_Reader#Adobe_Reader_X]] is a Wiki about that.
