How do I extract the msi from the Reader installation exe?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:24:21 GMT

Usually when I want to extract the msi from the Reader installation exe (for Group Policy) distribution, I download it from get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise and decompress the exe using 7zip. Then, I slipstream the msp file into it and I'm pretty much good to go.

Now, when I try to extract the msi, I get a directory full of stuff, but no msi at all. I tried starting the installer and looking in C:\users\username\AppData (it works for Java) but it wasn't there.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or is there a new way to extract the msi that I've missed?

Thanks!

How do you import Presenter files into Presenter 8

Hi Everyone:

I just gave a user a new computer and I'm trying to transfer all of the profile files from Presenter to the new computer.

I tried copying everything in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Presenter\Presenters to the new location, but they don't show up in Presenter.

If I make a new presenter, that one shows up in the AppData directory but none of the profiles I copied over show up.

It doesn't look like Presenter 8 has an "import" function.

I deleted the folder for the test Presenter I made and it still showed up in Adobe Presenter.

So, my question is "How can I get Presenter 8 to read these imported directories?" Is there a directory or hidden file I'm missing or a change in the registry settings?

Saying, "Upgrade to Presenter 10" is a valid response, but I was hoping to get around that.

Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
