If I might make a suggestion, the instructions would really be idiot-proof if you made the path names and file names match between steps 1 & 2 and steps 4 & 5. At the beginning you use C:\temp\reader933\..., but then reference C:\temp\adobereader\... in the later steps. Plus, when I used the customization wizard, the filename of the transform it made by default was "AdbeRdr930_en_US.mst", not "AcroRead.mst" as you have listed. Therefore I had to alter the command in the Deployment to fit my situation. Thank you so much for documenting this.

The link used to point to the right drivers at the AMD website. But AMD changed their website, and gave us a dead link :'( I will try to find them elsewhere. If someone has a correct url, please make a comment and help us out. These are AMD drivers indeed. The link used to point to the right drivers at the AMD website.

Can you try one more time, using another admin point? It's a three step process: 1. Extract the 9.3 MSI using the /a parameter (create an admin point) 2. Apply 9.3.2 MSP (patch) to the admin point using the /p parameter (then you have slipstreamed the 9.3.2 sources into 9.3.0) 3. Apply 9.3.3 MSP to the admin point, same way as step 2. Let me know. It seams you don’t applied the 9.3.2 and 9.3.3 patches (.msp) to the 9.3.0 sources.

2. Apply 9.3.2 MSP (patch) to the admin point using the /p parameter (then you have slipstreamed the 9.3.2 sources into 9.3.0)

I went and ran the MSI itself and same thing. How does the MSI know it has to install 9.3.3 and not 9.3.0? I see multiple folders created during the slipstream, but did not find an msi in there. I am thinking the msi was updated with the commands above, but I guess not. Any suggestions? Ben,

But an empty one, like you did, apparently do the trick also. Good to know! The Adobe Customization Wizard can update/modify the setup.ini file, but can't create a new one, strange. Don't think it's UAC, because I'm using Windows XP to sliptream Adobe Reader. I will update my post with the Setup.ini stuff.
