 +===== 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.
