Slipstream Acrobat 9.2

I am doing a clean install of Acrobat 9.x Professional and would like to slipstream 9.2 into the original installer.
I have copied the contents of the installation CD (9.0 w/o patches I imagine) to my hard drive to C:\Acrobat9 and have the AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp file already to go...
What do I do next?  Thx!
PS: I tried this but it didn't work:
msiexec /p AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp /a "C:\Acrobat9\AcroPro.msi" /qb!

here is the solution...
This link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html  was what I needed.
As was this one: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/507/cpsid_50757.html
Here is the basic process:
Copy the contents of Acrobat 9 CD to a local folder.  This will be an administrative install point (you can move it later).  I copied to C:\Acrobat9
Download all the updates you need and place them in the C:\Acrobat9 folder:
To see which of the updates you actually need to download, check the first link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html
In my administrative share, I am choosing only to do "Quarterly" updates.  This will get my default install to 9.3.0, and leave me in a position to simply apply 9.4 whenever it comes out (assuming it is the  next Quarterly update).
All of the updates are most easily downloaded via a web browser at Adobe's publicly  accessible FTP servers.  You need these updates: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/9.x/
AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp
AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp
AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp
AcrobatUpd930_all_incr.msp
In the C:\Acrobat9 folder, open setup.ini in Notepad.  Apparently this is a "bootstrap" installation.
Add the following line under [Product] --> msi=AcroPro.msi -->PATCH=AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp ;AcrobatUpd930_all_incr.msp
Save setup.ini
Run Setup.exe from within the C:\Acrobat9 folder.  That launches the install for Acrobat Pro 9.3.

  • Can I slipstream Acrobat Pro?

    I want to slipstream Acrobat Pro 9.0 to 9.4.2?  Is it possible and if so what patches do I need and what is the process?
    Thanks for any and all help!

    PFB the steps:
    1. Copy the Acrobat Pro 9.0 msi installer to your machine.
    2. Create a distribution point (a folder where the installer can install the uncompressed program files).
    3. Click Start, click Run, and then enter the following command:
    msiexec /a <path of Acrobat 9.0 msi>
    4. When you receive a prompt asking where to install the files, browse to the distribution point you created in step 2.
    5. Click OK. When the installer finishes, all files will be at the distribution point.
    Also Acrobat 9.0 msi should be there at the distribution point.(This msi is used in step 7 below)
    To add patches to the administrative installation:
    6. Copy the Acrobat msp(9.1.0 ,9.1.2 , 9.2.0 ,9.3.0, 9.3.2 ,9.3.3 ,9.4.0 , 9.4.2 patch on your machine.
    7. Click Start, then click Run, and then type CMD.
    At the command prompt, type the following:
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.1.0 msp>
    after that apply patch ONE  BY ONE
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.1.2 msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.2.0 msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.3.0 msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.3.3 msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.4.0msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.4.2msp>
    After installation is successful you can copy this folder (distribution point) to any server and deploy it
    OR
    manually also you can install Acrobat 9.4.2 by running the msi at the distribution point.

  • Issue Installing Slipstreamed Acrobat (Pro & Standard)

    Good Afternoon -
    A few days ago, I slipstreamed both (Pro & Standard) of our Acrobat X installation files for deployment with SCCM.  After deployment failed, I looked up things in the event log, researched solutions, and slipstreamed again.  Still... same error - even when running from command line & cutting SCCM out altogether.
    Below is how I did it for each of the two versions.  Please tell me what's wrong...
    My Acrobat X SlipStream Process
    Copied Acrobat 10.x installation files to a folder local to my workstation (C:\10Stan)
    Downloaded AcrobatUpd1014.msp from Adobe's Product Update page
    Opened a command prompt as admin (running Windows 7 x64) and browsed to C:\10Stan
    Ran "msiexec /a AcroStan.msi"  Once opened, clicked Next then entered "C:\XStan" for target path.  Let it finish
    Ran "msiexec /a c:\XStan\AcroRead.msi /p AcrobatUpd1014.msp  Once opened, clicked Next, kept default path (C:\XStan) and let it finish
    Copied setup.ini from original setup file location to C:\XStan
    Ran Acrobat X Customization Wizard and opened AcroStan.msi in C:\XStan
    Entered Serial, User, Company, Silent Install, Suppressed Reboot, DIsabled Adobe Online & others on that page
    Generated Transform.  Saved as Custom.mst in C:\XStan
    I copied the XStan folder to a VM with out Gold Image (Win 7 x64), opened a command prompt as admin, and typed the following command: "msiexec /i acrostan.msi TRANSFROMS=Custom.mst /q
    The installation ran silently for a couple of minutes, but Adobe Icon never showed up.  I checked Event Logs and found the following...
    Product: Adobe Acrobat X Standard - English, Français, Deutsch -- Error 1334.The file 'adobearmhelper.exe' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'Data1.cab'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.
    I researched this error, but found that my process seemed to match what everyone was saying to do...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    One more thing...  Do I really need to use the Setup.ini from the original installation media?  Previously, I created a setup.ini which was completely empty.  When generating the transform, it added only 2 lines to it.  Below are both files...
    Setup.ini Created from Blank File + Generating Transform

    CmdLine=/sall /rs

    I tried using both for installation, but each gave same erroneous result   Thanks

    Thanks -
    Well, I tried that and had a couple of issues...
    I ran "msiexec /a AcroPro.msi" and extracted to a folder named C:\XPro
    I then ran "msiexec c:\XPro\AcroPro.msi /p AcrobatUpd1010.msp" and kept default location.  Let patch run
    I then ran "msiexec c:\XPro\AcroPro.msi /p AcrobatUpd1011.msp", but got an error saying...
    This patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package.
    I tried running "msiexec /a AcroPro.msi" on the patched folder to a new folder and running next update again, but got the same message.  
    I actually didn't start with 1010, but 1001 Tier 1.  I had the same results with it, too.
    Ideas?  Thanks

  • Unable to slipstream update 10.1.1/.2/.3 in Acrobat Std 10.1.0

    Hi everybody.
    I'm struggling with slipstreaming updates into Acrobat X Standard v10.1.0.
    I used the v10.0.0 and made an administrative installation in a new folder with
    msiexec /a AcroStan.msi
    After that I integrated successfully the 10.1.0 with
    msiexec /a AcroStan.msi /p AcrobatUpd1011.msp
    Installation runs successfully with the 10.1.0 package.
    But when I try to install or integrate the 10.1.1 update I get the following error message:
    I would be very happy if somebody could help me.
    Regards

  • After Slipstreaming Updates Acrobat Pro Extended shows "STANDARD" edition

    Hi to everyone.
    I slipstreamed all Adobe acrobat 9 Pro extended updates up to 9.3.3. it is showing  ' pro extended version' everywhere except when i click on the - help menu -> about acrobat 9 pro extended, and the pop up window shows - Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
    I slipstreamed for about 3 times thinking there was an error somewhere. I installed adobe acrobat 3 times and the help menu still shows "Standard" edition.
    I used this command:
          eg:    msiexec.exe /a Acro3d.msi /p C:\AIP\AcrobatUpd933_all_incr.msp
    Acrobat just works fine, but it's wired to show Standard edition when it is Pro extended.
    Does it have to do with slipstreaming? If not can anyone help me with this issue Please?
    Thank you

    Hello
    Can anyone Please tell me which file/dll/exe is in charge for showing in the 'About" menu:
    Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard/Pro/Extended....?
    Thanks

  • Integrate Acrobat updates into install (Slipstream)

    We use SCCM 2007 R3 in our corporate environment.  We need to deploy Acrobat 10 and 11 Std and Pro.  Is there a (realativly) easy way to integrate Adobe patches for each product into a single package?  I don't want to install Acrobat 10.0.0 Pro, but need the latest patched version without making multiple installs.
    For Adobe CS5/6 products like Illustrator and Photoshop, we could use the Adobe Application Manager Entepris4e Edition (AAMEE) to integrate these updates into one install.  Baffled at why Adobe does not do this for Acrobat.

    It's called Administrative Installation Point (AIP)

  • Not Able To Use Acrobat With Updates

    Hello,
    When I slipstream all the quarterly updates through 9.5.5 into an original installation of Acrobat Pro 9 Extended which is version 9.0 the installer loads as version 9.5.5 and successfully installs Acrobat as a version 9.5.5 but when I open Acrobat and accept the license agreement I immediately receive a popup message that says the program is broke and cannot be used due to license discrepancies to reinstall it then when I click OK or terminate the process that generated the message Acrobat closes. If I install Acrobat as version 9.0 and manually apply the updates through 9.5.5 Acrobat works with no problems. Any assistance in helping me resolve the problem would be appreciated.
    My reason for wanting to install version 9.0 as version 9.5.5 is I thought it might take up less space on my hard drive but it doesn't it still uses about 4.6GB of space which is significantly more than any other program on my computer. When I tried customizing the installation with the customization tool by selecting do not copy the installation files to the hard drive Acrobat still created over a gigabit of installer files in the installer folder in the Windows directory and created over a gigabit of update files in its folder under programs. Acrobat is quite a pig isn't it I am saddened to see that this is what hard drive space is being used for in world of larger hard drives. I would like to see programs like Acrobat function with 500 characters of code or less. That would be intuitive wouldn't it.
    Sincerely,  

    I have never heard of slipstreaming the updates with the original install, only with updates themselves. I suspect that may be related in some sense, but just a guess.

  • Acrobat 9.0 install key invalid on 9.2 installation

    Hello,
    I have just updated my Install Point to install as Acrobat Pro 9.2 and the installation package is telling me that my installation key is invalid.  The same key works fine when I install a 9.0 package.  I am an Adobe CLP customer.  The installation only goes as far as the Enter Product Key screen and when I click Next it tells me that my key is invalid.
    I first tried installation from a GPO and it failed.  I next tried installation from the command line with the transform file and that failed.  Next I just ran the installer and that is when I figured out why it was failing.
    Anyone have any ideas of what is going on?  Is there a different key that is needed for the 9.2 version?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Well if your oganization gets a new computer and wants to install Acrobat then why do a 9.0 install then a 9.1 update then a 9.12 update only to be followed by a 9.2 update?  Why not just slipstream all of the updates into a Automated Instalation Point then install the product from that installation point?
    Adobe has documented how to create this Automated Installation Point.  But I am havinf trouble with the installation after this.

  • Acrobat Pro upgrade path 9.0.0 to 9.4.6 on MacOS

    I've already googled adobe cumulative update, etc, but all I can find are the incremental updates.
    I work in a small company and have been tasked with updating all our Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 users to 9.4.6.
    So far the only way I've found to do this is to download all 17 patches (9.1 > 9.1.1 > 9.1.2 > 9.1.3 > 9.2.0 > 9.3.0 > 9.3.1 > 9.3.2 > 9.3.3 > 9.3.4 > 9.4.0 > 9.4.1 > 9.4.2 > 9.4.3 > 9.4.4 > 9.4.5 > 9.4.6) and install them one at a time...
    There has got to be a better way to do this.
    I've seen on the Windows forum that they can slipstream the patches, but I haven't found anywhere to do this on MacOS.
    Our company only has a T1 line and it would take forever to run the updater from within Acrobat.
    Please can someone help me in the right direction, I am going to pull my hair out if I have to manually install all these patches on 20 computers!
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply. Couple of other issues (other than the inablity to open the preferences as described in other discussions, please fix this first!!!)

  • Not able to activate Acrobat with Creative Suite 5.5 (mac)

    Hey folks,
    unfortunately I´m not able to use Acrobat Pro, which is part of my Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard.
    I think it´s because of the language: My OSX language is english, the Suite´s is german. PS and AI run perfectly, activated in german. Seems that there is no way for an german installation of Acrobat. What happens when I start Acrobat is, that the App-manager pops up and asks for the serial (it says "language english american"). My original serial is invalid.
    Is there any chance to switch the language without opening the application? I think this might be one option.
    Thanks and kind regards

    Does Adobe provides phone support? Would be much easier...

  • Acrobat 8.1.6 Patch Issues

    Hi All,  There looks to be a problem with the Acrobat 8.1.6 patch (acrobatupd816_all_inc.msp).  When attempting to patch an Acrobat 8 Standard & Professional admin install points, I receive a Windows Installer error stating: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service becuase the program to be updated may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.  Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
    I receive this error when trying to upgrade from both 8.1.4 and 8.1.5, on both Standard and Professional.
    Any ideas on what the may be, or do we have to wait for Adobe to fix.
    Thanks.

    hi guys,
    i'm curious: How did you able to slipstream (AIP) Acrobat 8 Pro to 8.1.3?
    I'm getting a weird error when slipstreaming 8.1.3 Update.
    Here's what I got:
    0) Setup on XP Pro SP3/Vista/Win7. AIP is in C:\ local drive.
    1) Create AIP for Acrobat 8.0.0 Pro.
    2) Slipstream 8.1.0 Update (MD5: 37baea6694b15c354b0769b80c500711)
    3) Slipstream 8.1.1 Update (MD5: e6faf402bd7a7e864dbe0870a80d04c5)
    4) Slipstream 8.1.2 Update (MD5: 69f725c77a879f542af89c6a5bdab839)
    5) Ignored 8.1.2 SU1 Update (negligible; and it's in MSI anyway so no point slipstreaming to AIP)
    6) When I tried to slipstream 8.1.3 Update (MD5: c3e0ea9741f84246cf281acb33e22c86), i get an error msg:
    http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/227/sshot1moo.png
    Error 1335. The cabinet file 'PCW_CAB_ACRO' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.
    7) There's no way to continue. Pressing Ignore button generate a simple error dialog:
    http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/1355/sshot2sel.png
    Internal Error 2350.
    8) Now, i can't slipstream 8.1.4 or 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 because 8.1.3 won't install at all.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Acrobat 7,8 &9 Patching

    We need to patch Acrobat versions 7 through 9 to the latest versions.  All of are Acrobat users have separate licenses.  We do not have an Admin share to install Acrobat from.  We would like to update these PCs via SMS.  Is there a way to chain these updates together to get version 7, 8 & 9 up to there latest versions or is it a way to slipstream the patches? Thanks Marlon

    What a poor design to not have patches rolled up into one install.  I too would like to update to the lastest patch revision of each, but am finding minimal support in that area.  I would have to chain about 5 .msp files together to make this happen..  Abode update maintenance is a joke!!

  • Tuner 7 and Acrobat Std. 7

    Hello,
    I'm trying to deploy Acrobat Std 7.07(I was able to slipstream the updates) in my organization. I am using Tuner 7 to create the .mst file, and the default install path I set is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0. the install works fine, however the files are stored under C:\Program files\Adobe. It does not create the Acrobat 7.0 folder. Can anyone help me with this. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Tommy

    I had this same issue with some clients not receiving the icons on the start menu or the desktop with Adobe Standard 7.0.8 and Adobe Reader 7.0.8 although the install went fine (if I manually created the icons the program would run fine). After looking into the issue further I realized this issue was only occuring on Windows 2000 SP4 machines. Upon searching the test machine, I found the icons in the root of the C: drive - this led me to believe that the install could not figure out where to place the icons in W2K SP4. I resolved the issue by using the ALLUSERS=2 switch in the SMS package command line. This explicitly states that the program is to install to the All Users profile. Issue resolved after much additional gray hair. I hope this information helps someone else out there fix their issue faster than I did.
