How do I create the .MSI file?

By default Windows does not come with an MSI package maker, you will have to use a thirdparty tool, here is one that is free:

Another that is bought comes with SMS or SCCM
 

> How do I obtain or create the .MSI file?
On reader download page, click "distribute"; you will be brought to the page where you will have to agree to be spammed by adobe and their partners.  Submit the application, then wait until it's approved.

Once you are approved, follow http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400540

Alternatively, you can go to ftp.adobe.com and download the exe from there.

I'd like to note however that the quality of their msi is on par with their gall to require the "application" to redistribute. Don't know about v.9, but v.7 and 8 I actually repackaged before distributing in my network.

I just worked to get Adobe Flash Player installed and am working on Adobe Reader 9.  

vadimrapp1 was a big help with my install and is dead-on with Reader 9.  So far with what I have come across, it's not very easy.  Thanks Adobe.

if it's not urgent, you can wait until I repackage this one as well. Probably 1-2 weeks.

Find the directory where you downloaded and saved Adobe Reader 9.exe.  Then go

<path to>\Adberdr90_en_us.exe nos_oReader9install  -nos_ne

Example:

c:\adobe\Adberdr90_en_us.exe nos_oReader9install  -nos_ne

Thanks!  Glad you found a workable solution. Take care!

I pulled that msi package out of that folder after installing adboe9 and i applyed it in group policy.  It just uninstalls everything Adobe.  I dont know what I am doing wrong.  Can anyone help with this.

techguyjohn,

are you talking about adobe reader or flashplayer?
