Error 1308.Source file not found with 9.4.2 Admin Install point

Question

I'm including as much information in this post as possible to help narrow down my problem, so if it's too wordy I appologize.
I've created an Admin install point for Acrobat 9 patching it up to Acrobat 9.4.2 using the following commands in a batch file:
D:
cd \Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9
md \Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP
start /wait msiexec /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP /Liv D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP\install900.log /qn
cd \Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP
start /wait msiexec /p D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install910.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install912.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install920.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd930_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install930.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd932_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install932.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd933_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install933.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd940_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install940.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd941_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install941.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd942_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=D:\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install942.log /qn
I rename the folder "AcrobatPro9AIP" to reflect the current version (e.g. "Acrobat9.4.2"), copy the folder to my DFS, create an MST with the Customization Wizard, and then deploy with Group Policy.
Before I deploy I always run a few test installations on two Windows XP 32-bit machines, and two Windows 7 64-bit workstations. I've been using this method to build my install point for the last 5 Adobe patches without a problem, but suddenly with version 9.4.2 my test workstations pop up with the following error during the installation via the standard installation method "msiexec /i acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=acropro.mst":
I built my installation package for acrobat9.4.1, 9.4.0 and 9.3.3 exactly the same way and the installations did not have this error. The file in question "Adobe.Acrobat.Dependencies.manifest" does not exist in my 9.4.1, or 9.4.0 package folders, nor does it exist in the 9.4.2 folder. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I am having the same problem, all the relevant info was already covered in the "thewaker" post above.   I too have made a script to make a Admin install with patches up to 9.4.2.  The script worked for 9.3.3 but when I remade the AdobeAIP for 9.4.2, I too got this error when installing it, even manually.  (Error 1308.Source file not found.  Adobe.Acrobat.Dependencies.manifest ) Running on Windows 7 32bit.
Here is my Script.
C:
cd\AcroBatPro9
md \AcrobatPro9AIP
start /wait msiexec /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=C:\AcrobatPro9AIP /Liv c:\AcrobatPro9AIP\install900.log /qn
cd \AcrobatPro9AIP
start /wait msiexec /p c:\AcrobatPro9\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=C:\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install910.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p c:\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=C:\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install912.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p c:\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=C:\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install920.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p c:\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd930_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=C:\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install930.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p c:\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd932_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=C:\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install932.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p c:\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd933_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=C:\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install933.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p c:\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd940_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=C:\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install940.log /qn
start /wait msiexec /p c:\AcrobatPro9\AcrobatUpd942_all_incr.msp /a AcroPro.msi TARGETDIR=C:\AcrobatPro9AIP PATCHAIP=1 /Liv install942.log /qn
I did notice though that the "thewaker" has added AcrobatUpd941_all_incr.msp to his script, which is a security update. Which may be "a" problem, but I don’t think this is related to the problem we are having.
Administrative deployment
Administration Installation Point (AIP) deployments must not apply a quarterly update AIP in which a security update was the most recently applied update. Because a quarterly update includes the changes implemented in all recent security updates, the quarterly update forcibly bypasses those updates entirely. To deploy a quarterly update from an AIP, create a AIP which includes only quarterly updates as follows:
    Acceptable:      Acrobat 9.0.0 -> 9.1.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.1.2 (Quarterly) -> 9.2.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.2 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.3 (Quarterly) ->  9.4.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.4.1 (Security)
    Acceptable:      Acrobat 9.0.0 -> 9.1.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.1.2 (Quarterly) -> 9.2.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.2 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.3 (Quarterly) -> 9.4.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.4.2 (Quarterly)
    Unacceptable:  Acrobat 9.0.0 -> 9.1.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.1.2 (Quarterly) -> 9.2.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.2 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.3 (Quarterly) -> 9.4.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.4.1 (Security) -> 9.4.2 (Quarterly)
Anyway.. Any help with this would be helpful as I would like to deploy it soon.
Thanks.
