Acrobat Reader MDT Install String
-
Friday, September 28, 2012 3:51 PM
I have configured a transform file for Acrobat Reader and want to update to the 10.1.4 patch. I am trying to install Acrobat Reader using this command via MDT:
msiexec /i AcroRead.msi PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst /qb
It works fine directly on the machine, but gives an error of 1619 in the log file...
Has anyone done this before or can offer any suggestions to try?

When you added the application to MDT did it add it to the application folder in your distribution share? or were you trying to run the install from another share?
Error 1619 deals with:
Generally 1619 :This installation package could not be
opened. Verify that the package exists and
that you can access it, or contact the
application vendor to verify that this is
a valid Windows Installer package." -

It could be that MDT can't find the apps. Assuming that they're all in the package folder try this:
msiexec /i .\AcroRead.msi PATCH=.\AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp TRANSFORMS=.\AcroRead.mst /qb

This happens because MDT is having issues to access the patch.
I had the same issues and the logs indicated network connection issues to the patch, but it was all set up correctly.
My suggestion is to create TWO applications.
One that installs Acrobat Base, and another that patches it (pay attention to order and dependencies)

Have you tried using the Adobe Customization Wizard? Your setup.ini would just need to contain direction for the patch.
Example:
[Startup]
RequireOS=Windows 2000
RequireMSI=3.0
RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
[Product]
msi=AcroRead.msi
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp

Nope... did not work...It could be that MDT can't find the apps. Assuming that they're all in the package folder try this:
msiexec /i .\AcroRead.msi PATCH=.\AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp TRANSFORMS=.\AcroRead.mst /qb

Since it appears to work when you run it locally on the machine, I'd try to simply copy all of the required contents down to the device and then kick off the install from the local machine. You should be able to do that easily with a batch script.

I was able to get this to work correctly by creating two 'applications': 1) The base install with customization and 2) The patch upgrade.
Thanks to all....
