Deploying Adobe/Winzip using Group Policy

[revururaj]

Hello:


I want to install "free version of Adobe reader 7.0 and Winzip 9.0" on 45 XP clients. I have windows server.

Unfortunately the above software apps are not .msi packages?
whats the easy to do this?

Thanks,

Here is some info on Acrobat

If i remember correctly when you open the exe it unpacks all the files inc an MSI file to documents & settings somewhere, if i find where i'll post it.

Not sure about WinZip but you could try and package it yourself with a free util like WinInstall LE

and for acrobat reader 7.0, follow the install once downloaded, then copy the whole directory corresponding to the languqge you chose that is in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrBig\
use all this in a share and the MSI as the deployment package
