I manage several machines running Windows 2000 with IE 6 and Adobe Reader 7.0.8 and want to update them to Adobe Reader 8.

I have used the customisation wizard to create a MST for Adobe Reader 8 and then install the reader using the following command line:

msiexec /i path/AcroRead.Msi TRANSFORMS=path/Acroread.Mst /qb /norestart

Following successful installation the system is manually restarted.

However when I install Adobe Reader 8 the icon gets placed on the Desktop, but when I click on it Windows reports that it can not find the Adobe Reader Exe, also when trying to open PDF documents fails to find Acrobat Reader. When looking in the Adobe folder there are no files just the folder structure.

If I click on the "Adobe Reader 8" icon in the Start Menu then it then appears to start an installation, following this the Shortcut on the Desktop works and PDF documents open correctly.

The users of the systems I want to install Adobe on are restricted in what they are allowed to do one of the things they can not do is run installations.

What do I need to do so that Adobe Reader 8 is installed from the beginning? Do not remember having this problem with earlier versions of
the Reader.
