Any setup.exe or any other executable that installs updates and launches the MSI installer is a bootstrapper. The Acrobat-Reader bootstrapper is provided as part of the Reader bundle on the CD and the web download. It is also provided for some releases on the download site. It provides a streamlined way to chain installs without the need for administrative install points. The bootstrapper provides the following benefits:
- Adobe Acrobat was the first software to support Adobe Systems' Portable Document Format (PDF). It is a family of software, some commercial and some free of charge. Adobe Reader (formerly called Acrobat Reader) is available as a no-charge download from Adobe's web site, and allows the viewing and printing of PDF files.

Detects whether the required Windows Installer (MSI) is available and installs it if it isn’t.
Detects whether the product is already installed and only proceeds if it does not exist on the target machine.
Provides binary installations where the entire installer is supplied and run by each machine.
Provides a simple way to chain updates in the required order by simply adding the msp to the installer folder and modifying Setup.ini to apply that patch.
It is not subject to the patch constraint that limits an AIP from installing a quarterly update over a out of cycle patch. Thus, installs can always have the latest update without starting over.
Tutorials¶
Usage across releases is relatively the same. For an example, see this video
Best practices¶
Back up your original download. Do not modify the original download.
Use the Customization Wizard to create an MST for customizations and Setup.ini file. Save the MST.
Check Setup.ini prior to running Setup.exe. Make additional modifications as needed.
Do not use the bootstrapper if you are already using administrative install points.
Bootstrapper usage¶
Common bootstrapper workflows can include any of the following:
Manually configuring Setup.ini and running and the bootstrapper.
Modifying the installer and/or installed product via Setup.ini or the command line.
Using the Customization Wizard to modify product features set by the UI, registry, and files.
Note
Using Setup.ini and batch files allows you to keep a record of modifications for future troubleshooting. Always archive your original download and modify a copy rather than the original.
Modifying the installer with the Customization Wizard
Create a folder to store the original installation files and the MSP update files to apply. For pre 9.3.3 versions, download the needed base install and requisite patches from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
Open the Customization Wizard.
Modify the product install and other options.
Generate a new Transform file (.mst).
After the Wizard has created a new MST file and modified the Setup.ini file, open Setup.ini and verify it has all the options you need.
Make any additional modifications to Setup.ini and/or to the command line in a batch file. Command line parameters can be sent to msiexec from the Setup.ini using /msi.
Run setup.exe to start the installation.
Bootstrapper config: setup.ini¶
The bootstrapper uses Setup.ini as a configuration file. Administrators typically modify this file via the Customization Wizard, manually, or both as needed.
Version notes:

Command line switches¶
You can pass MSI switches to Setup.exe to control its operation. The general form of the command is:
Note the following:
All parameters are case insensitive.
There is no parameter merging; if any parameter is passed as a command line argument then any parameters in the INI file are ignored.
Refer to the list of supported switches
Language based behaviors¶
During installation, both the bootstrapper and the Select Language dialog behavior is determined by two items: the specified Lang_ID key in the setup.ini file and the existence of the language package in the file to be installed. There are three possible scenarios:
When the OS user default locale matches one of the package languages:
The language dialog is invoked with strings in the OS locale language.
Language descriptions in the drop-down list are populated with OS locale strings from system registry. If this fails, then the drop-down list populates with the string from the INI Language Description keys.
The OS locale Language is pre-selected in the drop-down list.
When the OS user default locale is one of the 15 supported languages but doesn’t match any of the package languages:
The dialog labels appear in OS locale language.
Language descriptions in the drop-down list are populated with OS locale strings from the system registry. If this fails, then the drop-down list populates with the string from the INI Language Description keys.
The Package Default Language value of ‘ProductLanguage’ from the installer Property table is pre-selected in the drop-down list.
- When the OS user default locale doesn’t match any of the 15 supported languages:
The dialog labels appear in the Package Default Language locale.
The drop-down list populates with string from INI Language Description Keys.
The Package Default Language is pre-selected in the drop-down list.
