Does anyone know if you can slipstream adobe updates like XP instead of downloading and rebooting with each update?

Used to be some sharp people at adobe. My guess is no.

See this.

You can slipstream update 7.0.5...
(credit to xxsplit on MSFN Forums)

1. Create your Admin Install:
Create a Folder named Acro7 in the C: drive of your virtual machine. Insert your CD, Open a cmd prompt in your CD dir and use the following code...
"setup.exe /a"

When asked to choose a destination folder use your newly created Acro7 folder.

2. Patch your Admin Install with the latest Adobe Acrobat 7.0.5 Professional Update
- Grab the latest patch from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downlo...
- Extract the content of the 7.0.5 Update into a folder you will name "705upd" and place in your C: drive on your virtual machine...
- Open a cmd prompt and use the folowing code...
"msiexec /p [patch location]\[patch name.msp] /a [acrobat location]\[acrobat.msi] /qb!"
example: "msiexec /p C:\705upd\Ac705StVP_efgj.msp /a C:\acro7\AcroStan.msi /qb!"

3. Create the *.MST Transform... If you haven't intalled your "InstallShield Tuner 7.0 for Adobe Acrobat" on your virtual machine it's about the right time to do so...
! - When prompted for the required *.itw file (which has disapeared with the admin Install) use the one in your original CD source "AcroPro.itw" and then open the "AcroPro.msi" that is in your "AcroPro" folder (NOT the Original one).... By default your *.mst file will be created in your "AcroPro" Folder and named "AcroPro.mst".
! - When you're done with *MST settings don't forget to save before exiting .

Good luck! Use GP to deploy with the MST and you're good to go.

NOTE: I used the open volume license for corporations for my deployment, which doesn't require activation. I think the min license purchase is 5.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
