Hello,
I am currently trying to figure out where I can find the the MSI version for the Acrobat installers. I checked on our LWS site , and seems like we are only offered the .EXE version. I also checked on the FTP site and found the one for Reader but nothing for Acrobat...I contacted customer support didn't get anywhere. Can anyone offer any help on this?
Thanks
Hi Joshua,
Haven't heard this issue brought up before.
You can only get the full installer from from the LWS or hard copy install media. The media provides an MSI and EXE. I haven't personally looked at LWS, but you could be right.
I haven't tried this myself, but can you extract an MSI from the EXE using this method?: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/basics.html#end-user-installers.
If so, I'll make sure that info gets in the doc.
thanks,
Ben

Thanks that was it. Suddenly everything makes a lot more sense!

The EXE provided on LWS is an expandable compressed package that will put an Acrobat folder on the desktop with the expanded installer bits. It will prompt you to install but you do not have to proceed with the installation and then can modify the installer with the Adobe Customization Wizard.
