I can get it to compile and install but I can NOT get its association with .pdf's to work
.pdf files get an icon assocation, phew...
pdf's open in IE but if I have a .pdf on the desktop or in an email
it will not open by double clicking on it
if i open adobe manually and browse to the file, i can open it
go figure

I am using admin studio 5.0 vp1
and repackager to create my project

has anyone been able to create a snapshot succesfully of adobe acrobat reader 6.0.1 ?

I worked for quite some time on getting Reader 6.0.1 working. I would not suggest repackaging it as it comes with an msi and an mst along with the supporting files you need within the setup.exe. After you run the setup.exe, do a search for files on c:\ for *.msi, it will lead you to the directory that contains all the files you'll need. I copied these files to a separate directory and actually created a response transform with AdminStudio tuner 5.01 to deal with user dialogs as I needed a silent install. I was able to shut off some of the unwanted features like those flashing ads and the auto updates within the mst. If you run the msi from the command line with the transform it will install fine and you won't get all those repackaging errors. In my experience, trying to repackage a setup.exe that contains an msi doesn't work very well. In terms of the file associations, make sure that other versions of Reader are uninstalled. Believe it or not, Reader and Acrobat Writer 5.05 do not play very well together either. Having reader 6.0.1 and Acrobat 5.05, or version 4 can cause problems with file associations as well as conflicts with the ewh32.api plugin for IE. Look at the registry entries under HKeyClasses root for pdf and also AcroExch.Document, compare to the entries made with the setup.exe and that may help the file associations. Let me know if you need any more help.

Alan

thanks for the suggestions
i finally ended up using the msi from adobe, and doing a direct edit on it
i spent 4 days on trying to create a single file msi
as that was/is one of the requirements of the client im working with
but after a little chatting and explaining, i was able to talk them into two for this one
the msi and the cab file

thanks again
