First of all,
When I open help, it states "PDF-XChange Viewer v2.0.4x"
I it very confusing, do i have correct help file or not.
Help (or readme) is full of "after version 2xxx" stuff, I dont care.
I want know how THIS version work, HOW LATEST version work. So forget those old stuff.
Right now I'm reading PDFVManual.pdf (modified 5/12/2010)
I want use Silent installation.
I want use MSI. (exe installation will hangup in WinXP, if used with system account, group policy script)
Your help have "/I" missing for all msiexec examples.
msiexec PDFX4Pro.msi /quiet INSTALLLOCATION="C:\Program Files\Tracker" Does not work
Should be
msiexec /I PDFX4Pro.msi /quiet INSTALLLOCATION="C:\Program Files\Tracker"
or maybe PXCViewer_x86.msi is better filename, its more current.
In page 17 there is CREATEDESKTOPICON parameter mentioned. It does not work.
MsiExec.exe /I PXCViewer_x86.msi /qb ADDLOCAL="F_Viewer,F_Langs_Viewer,F_BrowserPlugins,F_ShellExt" CREATEDESKTOPICON="0"
Will still make desktop icon.
And if anyone wonder, I'm trying to installa version 2.0 (Build 57.0)
Why we cant have normal version numbers? Just something that makes sense.
MSI silent install

Re: MSI silent install
Hello Meitzi,
Please use the "help" button which is displayed when you run the .msi package manually - there you will always find the latest installation instructions.
Also we have had other sysadmins using Orca to create transformation files for easier distribution via GP - you might want to consider that as well.
Best,
Stefan

Re: MSI silent install
Thanks for the tip.
DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS="0" works
We did use Orca, but if we dont, its much easier to update latest version. (only need to download new files)

Re: MSI silent install
It is a combined one:
F_BrowserPlugins - plug-ins for web browsers (MS Internet explorer, Mozilla FireFox, Opera, Safari, and Chrome) which allows to view PDF files inside these browsers. This feature requires F_Viewer feature to be installed.
