Hi All,

Adobe provides now two options to download the XI Reader - exe and msi

Shoudl I stick to the proven exe AIP installation or I can deploy msi directly via GPO.

Thanks

Adobe has always provided both of those options. You can extract the MSI from the EXE.

Get the admin guide from the Enterprise Toolkit: www.adobe.com/go/acrobatetk.

Many thanks Ben,

My thoght is, can I push the msi directly without extracting it and performing admin instalaltion. Then applying the msp to the main msi in GPOs.

I have been looking at the Admin guides for some time but the msi was for command line distribution.

Thanks

I don't completely understand the question because extraction of the msi doesn't mean you have to perform an AIP install. Many admins don't use AIPs because they are subject to more constraints than other deployment options. For example, using the exe/bootstrapper method is easier.

hth,

Ben
