| Hi all
I'm in the process of preparing to assign Adobe Reader 9.1.3
(currently on 8.1.4) to about 400 PC's using GPSI. Unfortunately,
Adobe only provide an MSI for 9.1.0 then 2 MSP's for 9.1.2
(cumulative) and 9.1.3. I've tried using the the "Launch other
Applications" section of the Adobe Custom Installation Wizard to
launch the msp's after installation like so:
cmd /k start /wait msiexec /passive /p PATH_TO_912.msp && start /wait
msiexec /passive /p PATH_TO_913.msp && exit
However, I'm having varying results. Sometimes, it works just fine, I
launch Adobe reader after the PC's has started, and it's on version
9.1.3. Sometimes, it doens't work and I'm left running version 9.1.0,
and sometimes it gets patched straight after I login for some reason.
Even more interesting is that the account I am logging in with doesn't
have admin rights, so obviously it's using the local system account to
do the install
It seems that using this method is rather hit and miss, which isn't
good. So I'm wondering if there's any other way of doing this (I
don't want to use startup scripts) ? I know I could create an admin
install, but the problem with adobe admin installs is that it extracts
all the files and I end up with more files (which are larger) rather
than using the 1 MSI file which I would prefer to do
If anybody has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them
Thanks in advance

| Adobe provides instruction on creating a merged MSI or 9.1.0 and the
MSP. Once the new MSI is built then install as normal.

Have already have rolled out Reader 9.1.1 by MSI, right? What about patching
the installation source/distribution point using msiexec and then
redeploying the package?
