Can anyone please advise what the silent switch is now to install adobe reader dc 15.023 for the exe as I cant find any msi installer and the usually silent switches are all failing. This s getting very tiresome as they seem to keep changing the switches from one release to another.

I have tried these so far and non work.

What they said ^

If you're not sure, you can almost always type setup.exe /?

Adobe Reader DC also has an .msp and a .ini file that control some things.

Basically, setup.exe calls AcroRead.msi, and then the .msp file updates it to the most current version.  The .ini file is what calls out which .msi and .msp setup.exe uses. 

You should also download the adobe acrobat customization wizard, which you can use to change the behavior of the install.  You should really read the manual though, they spell it all out.

The documentation covers how to extract the MSI and MSP from the EXE, which is the starting point for most choices in deployment.

I must say I am surprised at the attitude of people who claim to be sysadmins but don't want to read a manual. To me the sysadmin is basically an ordinary user who is prepared to read manuals. Yeah, yeah, we're all busy, read the damn manual.

Must say...  Came here looking for official documentation for our tech's repository, and I was shocked at the attitude from the company itself.  The community, not the company, provided not only the solution, but also the correct documentation.  Adobe was wrong, and then got mad that they didn't have it together.  Perhaps I'll madate Foxit and Phantom, as your updated EULA which allows for the collection of PII is rubbing me wrong to begin with.

When typing this

AcroRdrDC1901020098_en_US.exe /?

These are the available parameters

Therefore, i tried

AcroRdrDC1901020098_en_US.exe /sAll /rs

BTW, i am pushing this install/update/upgrade via PDQ Deploy as I needed this be pushed right away.

This parameter allowed me to deploy the latest Acrobat DC.

Yes, I always thought that reading the documentation was the sysadmin's job. Indeed, it's having read the documentation that makes them a sysadmin...

Well, of course the other mark of a sysadmin would have been to offer the right documentation, not a completely irrelevant link.   ;-)

Try unzipping the executable with 7zip

The ACTUAL answer to this question is /sAll. I don't know why Adobe makes this so hard, but this works:

setup.exe /sAll

this is not helpful at all.  it was a simple question what is the switch that will provide a silent install.   not to go read the manual...

If we would have to read the manual to answer you, we prefer that you do it.

Try reading the question. OP said they couldn't find the MSI and therefore the answer of "go read the MSI manual" is less than useless.

How did this get marked as the answer. Did you even read the question?
