Background:
- Installing on about 500-900 PCs and Laptops Windows XP and Windows 7 (I'm aware 11.0.09 isn't supported on XP so I have a separate 11.0.08 package for the XP users)
- Using SCCM 2007, NOT using SCUP
- Pretty much followed this guide (My Tech Stuff: Deploy Adobe Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.03) Using SCCM 2012 SP1)
- Machines are running either 11.0.04 or 10.1.4, I'd like to do one package to bring everyone up to 11.0.09 (aside from XP). For simplicity sake we can pretend everyone is on 11.0.04.
I'm having an issue deploying 11.0.09 through SCCM 2007. I'm not using SCUP, nor do I really want to. I've created the package numerous different ways and I seem to have the best result with the AIP method. I downloaded the EXE file which is the default distribution format. I extracted it and then ran the Admin install using the msiexec /a switch. I copied the contents from the AIP folder and pasted them into the 11.0.09 Share on SCCM. I also copied a MST transform file that was used with 11.0.04 to that folder as well. The package in sccm runs like this: msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" /qn /L*V C:\adobe_reader_11009.log.
SCCM's Run Advertised Programs shows that it fails but the log seems to indicate that it worked. However when I open Reader it is only version 11.0.04 (379 technically). So it appears the patch never gets installed.
Here is the command I run to create the AIP install:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Setup\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AB0000000001}>msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /p "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Setup\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AB0000000001}\AdbeRdrUpd11009.msp"
The above path is where the EXE extracts to by default.
Any ideas?
