OK so I downloaded AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe. When I run the installer it will come up and start to unpack. 99.98% I get an error Setup is unable to find _SETUP.DLL, which is needed to complete the installation. Error 103.
I tried this on several pc's.. If nothing adobe has ever been installed; it works fine. I tried it on a pc (vista) with 8.1.2 and it works fine.. Tried on various others with 7.0 and 8.1.2 and get the same thing. I emptied my temp folder and rebooted. Reopened %temp% and ran the installer.. It creates a 16 Kb .tmp file as it unpacks. When it gives the error it removes the .tmp file. I'm planning on deploying this to many pc's using a batch file

md "%temp%\adobe_9.0"
xcopy /s /y \\server\share\Adobe_Acrobat\9.0\* "%temp%\adobe_9.0"
cd "%temp%\adobe_9.0"
AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe /sAll /rs /l /msi"/qb-! /norestart ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES"
cd "%temp%"
rd /S /Q "%temp%\adobe_9.0"

Any help would be appreciated.
