Thanks.

Re: gpo question

Hello dkblee,

You can not install .exe with GPO. But if you Adobe reader, you will be lucky.
It extracts the complete installation files to your harddisk before installing
so you have the .msi on the harddisk and can use it for deeploying. We did
it also this way. Just install it on a test machine and search for the .msi
file. Also if you use the additional language packs or other updates for
the reader, they will also extract to harddisk and you can use th .msi's.

Best regards

Re: gpo question

Hello wakaman,

Unfortunaly you can not install .exe with software installation, you can
use startup script's if the .exe file includes options for installation this
way.
