Adobe Reader X extract msi

Trying to extract the msi for Adobe Reader X so i can deploy it over a network - old methods i used to use for 8 didn't work.

Searched and found this http://forums.adobe.com/message/3464880

Basically, need to download the offline installer from Adobe, open a command line and enter:

AdbeRdr1010_en_US.exe -nos_o"" -nos_n
(don't put a trailing \ at the end of the file path)

Don't hit cancel yet! Make a copy of the files in that location, then you can select cancel on the install - it will then automatically delete the folder it just created, with all the files in.

Been a bit crap...

At updating my blog, but have now moved it to my domain, and now aiming to start updating it again with my IT findings.

Have also read about clickochet on Cringely's website: http://www.cringely.com/2011/05/what-the-heck-is-a-clickochet/ and was interested in how it worked, so have added their ads on my blogger page.
