Can Acrobat MSP files patch OEM versions of Acrobat?

I have several computers that from Dell that have OEM versions of Acrobat standard.  I am trying to deploy Acrobat patches using group policy.  I have read the Adobe GP & AD deployment guide for instructions.  But I cannot get the patches to install.
I managed to get the an administrative share installed using the OEM 9.0 CD. Here is the command from my workstation:
msiexec /a "\\server\Share\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Acrobat9Stnd\Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard\AcroStan.msi"  /log c:\temp\acrobat.log
But I for the life of me cannot get the 9.1 patch files to update the distribution point.  The popup error is:
Error 2203.database:
\\server\share\software\adobe\acrobat\acrobat9stnd\adobe acrobat 9 standard\acrostan.msi.  Cannot open database file.  System error -2147287035.
The second to last line of the log file is:
MSI (c) (98:98) [13:24:39:075]: Product: Adobe Acrobat  9 Standard - English, Fran蓷is, Deutsch - Update 'Adobe Acrobat 9.1.0 Update' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file c:\temp\adobe111.txt.
I have searched extensively on the forums and Google without any luck.  I have tried updating the distribution point from multiple computers with multiple different configurations.
I am now wondering if it is an issue with the OEM software version and the Adobe patch off the Web site.
Thanks,
Robert

Problem solved.  I did a basic install of xp sp2 in a virtual machine without any patches or programs and ran it from there without any issues.  Thanks.

  • Where can I find a patch for Indesign and Acrobat cs6 for mac retina display?

    I have found the patch for screen resolution for photoshop, but the illustrator patch says it is not compatible and I cannot locate one for in-design (my primary program) or Acrobat. There must be a patch, right? Or else whats the point of it?

    The patch is upgrading to InDesign CC, which requires an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Sorry.
    There is no Acrobat CS6. The last version is Acrobat XI which was created too late to include support for Retina Display. It will probably be in the next version of Acrobat.
    Creating "patches" for Retina Display are much more engineering intensive than you would expect. In the case of InDesign, it had to be completed in the context of moving to becoming a 64 bit application and moving application development from Carbon to Cocoa (a required move on the Mac accomplished finally in InDesign CC).

  • How can i import files to trial version LR5.6? Message:Your disk "MobileBackups", to which you are importing images, is low on space.

    how can i import files to trial version LR5.6

    I currently am up to about 65,000 images cataloged in LR. I backup on launch several times a week and have used the "relaunch and optimize" function periodically as well. I am a bit reluctant to do anything aggressive as, even though I have encountered this warning 6 or 7 times in the past 4-5 months or so I have never had to shut down. I have emptied the recycle bin (which, as I mentioned, usually has very little in it) and then I continue and notice no impairment of function. So at present it represents more of an annoyance and a bit of a mystery only. Maybe I will just report this to Adobe and sit tight unless someone can see an obvious explanation and correction here.
    I appreciate all of the input and advice I have received already.

  • Can I upgrade from the free version of Acrobat Reader to Pro XI?

    Can I upgrade from the free version of Acrobat Reader to Pro

    Installing Acrobat is not an "upgrade" from Reader; it's a different product.

  • Can't find updates for CS4 version of Acrobat 9.0 PRO

    I moved Creative Suite 4 MultiLanguage (ITA) version on a new personal computer equipped with Windows 7 Sp1. I was able to update all applications except Acrobat. For Acrobat I only found  the 9.5.5 update version but it doesn't work (probably is suitable only for 9.3 CS5 version of Acrobat). Does anyone know where I can find other updates file that can solve my problem?

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher

  • Can I buy a stand alone version of Acrobat XI?

    I have 9 and have updated to Yosemite so i need to buy a new version as Acrobat 9 pro won't load. Can anyone suggest how I do this as i don't want to subscribe to a monthly plan yet. Is there also a reputable list of suppliers where i know I am not buying a pirate version
    thanks in anticipation

    Select buy next to Acrobat and then change the selection from subscription to upgrade and complete the rest of the form. They seem to have made it hidden on purpose, though they claim that is not the case. Just be glad you are not looking at the full product. The price just jumped $150, to $449.

  • How to edit text box in Acrobat XI, created by prior versions of Acrobat

    Hi, I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to edit a text box that was created in an older verison of Acrobat and used to fill out a form.
    In my case, I've added text boxes over pre-existing text using an older version of Acrobat.
    When I try to click on the text box, however, it seems to pick up on the pre-existing text and not allow me to edit the text box that I created in the past.

    Try to edit the text with the 'Add Text Comment' tool which resides in Comment pane. The text used to fill the form may have been written as annotation, hence when you are trying to edit those with editing tools, original text is being edited.

  • Installed RoboHelp 11 for trial and it overwrote Acrobat 9 pro with broken version of Acrobat 11 which I can't uninstall.

    The subject says it all. I installed Robohelp 11 to try it. Without my permission, the installation nuked my perfectly functional Acrobat 9.0 Pro and replaced it with a completely broken of Acrobat 11, which I neither wanted nor needed. I went to control panel to get rid of it so I could re-install Acrobat 9 Pro, and Acrobat 11 doesn't even appear as an application that can be uninstalled. Yes, the installation is that broken. So now I can't work with PDFs at all. I am more than happy to uninstall the trial of Robohelp to get back Acrobat, but I'm not even sure that will fix the issue since the installation program seems so squirrely. Anyone else had this problem. If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

    Thanks for your reply. As I mentioned in my post, when I went to Control Panel to uninstall Acrobat 11.0, it wasn't listed among currently installed apps. However, after going back and looking through the Installed On dates in Control Panel, I realized that for some reason, it's called Adobe PFD Creation Add-on XI, rather than Acrobat 11.0. Interestingly, the program folder name in Windows Explorer still uses Acrobat 11.0.
    Fortunately for me, I always have disc versions of my software. So I was able to re-install Acrobat 9.0 once I got rid of Adobe PDF Creation Add-on XI. I really wish that Adobe made clearer what extras they are installing with these trial versions :-(
    Thanks again.

  • Where can I post requests for future versions of Acrobat?

  • I can't find files of MP3 versions of songs in my library?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me? I recently uploaded a  load of songs to my iTunes library (Ripped from CD's) and I needed an  mp3 version of each song (for a specific music player for my 3 year old  niece), I know know I should've checked to see if the settings were  right (click on the add files to my iTunes Media folder) but I didn't  and it was unclicked.
    I created mp3 versions of each  song (right click then "Create MP3 version") and I can't find their  files anywhere (I need them to copy them onto a USB memory stick). If  anyone could help me it'd be very appreciated! Thanks.

    1 - iPhoto never forces you to upgrade - any upgrade of the software is initiated by you
    2 - what version of iPhoto did you have? What version did you upgrade to? What version of the OS do you have?
    3 - what exactly happens when you launch iPhoto?
    4 - with no backup it is just a matter of time until you lose all of yoru files including your photos - thing do happen and with no backup you are 100% guarenteed to lose everyhing sooner or later
    as a wild guess backup, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • How do I save Acrobat X file as earlier version?

    I'm using Acrobat 10 pro to collate a number of docs including video into 1 pdf.
    I want to allow my site members to rebrand the pdf with their affiliate links - set up as http://site.com/xxxAFFIDxx
    But, Acrobat 10 encrypts the link and therefore it cannot be rebranded using my normal rebrander.
    If I create a pdf using the Microsoft Word link I have the option of saving as an earlier version - say pdf 1.3 onwards. These are rebrandable but I obviously cannot collate a number of pdfs using word.
    I believe the issue is the encyption but as hard as I've looked I cannot find what I need to change to enable me to do what I want.
    Any guidance much appreciated

    Thank you so much. I was trying to save the original as an older version rather than saving as a latest version and then making it compatible.

  • Can't Open Files with new version 7.55.90.70

    Just updated old Quicktime version 5 to 7.55.90.70. Now I get an error message when I try to open my Encyclopedia Britannica program that says "Quicktime is missing or incorrectly installed". It tells me to reinstall Quicktime from the Britannica installation CD. When I tried that, a message appears that a newer version of Quicktime has been installed and the CD can't reinstall version 5. So, it appears that the new version won't let me open the program unless I uninstall the new version and go back to the old version. That doesn't make sense. The new version 7.55.90.70 ought to support programs that used the old version. I have tried the fixes offered to repair the installed Quicktime with no positive result. Can someone provide advice? Thanks.

    Im having the same problem too. I hope they could fix this

  • What versions of After Effects can open project files from which versions?

    Since this question comes up a lot, I just created this article that gives the details for all of the versions going back to After Effects 7.0:
    "opening After Effects projects from previous versions and saving back to previous versions"

    Please look at the Oracle Text reference manual for a list. Ultra Search uses the INSO filters of the underlying Text engine.

  • Way to get Acrobat 5 file naming behavior out of Acrobat 9?

    Hello,
    I'm working in an XP shop with some legacy applications.  One of these applications prints out batches of files to the PDF Writer printer from Acrobat 5.0.  The files all come out with a similar filename pattern.  For example, if the input was "Filename" and there were 3 parts to the batch, the output would be FILEN001.PDF, FILEN002.PDF, FILEN003.PDF, and so forth.
    We're moving to new hardware running Windows 7, and unfortunately we have to keep this legacy app around for a while.  The Acrobat 5 printer driver will not install on Windows 7.  I've downloaded the trial for Acrobat 9 Pro, but I can't seem to get the 9 printer driver to work the same way.
    Anybody know a potential solution?
    Thanks,
    Alex Seigler

    Unfortunately, we don't own the code behind this app.  Virtualization is being talked about.
    From what I can tell, the silent option doesn't allow for auto-naming multiple files in a batch, it writes the first one and then either overwrites the first one silently or prompts the user to overwrite.  Are there more options available?  I'd be open to writing code that would set the file names properly and then passes the data to the PDF writer if need be.
    Thanks,
    Alex Seigler

  • How do I upgrade from Acrobat 8 to the latest version of Acrobat

    Upgrade to Acrobat XI from Acrobat 8 is not possible. You need to purchase the full version.
