Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader msi packets

Some quick info about getting Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader installers in msi form for distributing in AD by GPO.

Adobe Flash

Get msi installer here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

For silent install from command prompt use commands like:
start /w msiexec /i \\server\path\install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi /quiet
this is plugin for IE
start /w msiexec /i \\server\path\install_flash_player_10_plugin.msi /quiet
this is for Mozilla like

Additionally you may want to delete logs:
del /f /s /q "%windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\*.log"
And to disable auto update you need create mms.cfg file with AutoUpdateDisable=true contents for this.

echo AutoUpdateDisable=true > "%windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg"

Or use GPO Preferences for creating such file

Adobe Reader

Get msi installer from ftp here:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/

Additionally you need CustomizationWizard for customizing installation settings
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950

Using it you open msi file, tweak some settings, and get transformation mst file. Already tweaked my mst file you can get here
For silent install from command prompt use something like:

msiexec /i "\\server\path\AdbeRdr1000_ru_RU.msi" /qr TRANSFORMS="\\server\path\AdbeRdr1000_ru_RU.mst"

But msi and mst transforms better suits GPO software distribution or SCCM :)
