Acrobat 9 Silent

Question

Can anyone give me some insight as to why Acrobat 9 Pro will not install silently. I have tried more variations of this than I can count to get it to work. The last method involved me extracting the file AcroPro90_efg.exe with UNIExtractor. I then used the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to rebuild the package. I put the username, company name, serial, selected silent install option and a few other options, then saved the package. No matter what I try, the installation either quits without any indication as to why, or it will install but not be silent and asks me for the parameters. It seems as if the package is not reading the mst file to get the information to install silently. Even using the transforms switch does not seem to make any difference. Any one have any suggestions? TIA

A. You can use customization wizard.

1. save the package after making the desired modifications like serial number, silent install option etc.

2. run setup.exe (Don't run the msi )

B. This is the simplest way. Customization wizard is not reqd for this.

Use commandline with /qb switch (Progress Bar only Mode) or /qn switch (Complete Silent)

msiexec /i <PATH to Acrobat.msi> ISX_SERIALNUMBER="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" /qn

or

msiexec /i <PATH to Acrobat.msi> ISX_SERIALNUMBER="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" /qn

NOTE: "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" is the product key.
