Which Base MSI to Use For Adobe Reader Updates?

I am new to creating AIP for Adobe Reader and am wondering which MSI to use as the base installer.  From what I understand, to create an AIP for Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I need to first have the AIP created for 11.0.00 and then patch it using the 11.0.07 MSP file.  (the 11.0.07 MSP file contains all other updates found in earlier quarterly releases and OOC releases)
So my question is on obtaining the correct MSI file for creating the original 11.0.00 AIP.  My options for obtaining the correct MSI are threefold:
The original 11.0.00 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi) (only one msiexec comand required)
The original 11.0.00 EXE (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe) (extract the files from the exe, then run the msiexec command)
The new 11.0.07 EXE (AdbeRdr11007_en_US.exe) (same as previous item)
I noticed that the MSIs in the AIP are named "AcroRead.msi" when extracted from an EXE file (#2 and #3 above) but named "AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi" when extracted from the original MSI file (#1 above).  Are all three of these resulting MSIs the "same"?  They all have different MD5 hashes but otherwise appear identical.
Once I have the original AIP for 11.0.00 backed up, I should be able to reuse it when new quarterly releases come out.  Can anyone help please?  What is recommended?  Thanks!

No one answered, but I think probably all can be used.  I made a script that will automatically extract and build the AIP from the most recent EXE file provided by Adobe.  Why Adobe doesn't create a new MSI themselves is beyond me.

  • Is notification for Adobe Reader Update 11.0.0.04 fake?

    Yesterday a notification popped up on my iMac (OSX 10.8.5) asking me if I wanted to download or install Adobe Reader Update 11.0.0.4. Was this an Adobe error with the upgrade number or could it possibly have been a fake notification and possibly malware. I pressed ESC rather than clicking yes or no on the popup. Do I have anything to worry about? I then went to the Adobe website and downloaded the 11.0.04 update. Thanks, Linda

    Or download/install the update manually from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5639

  • Which SDK library to use for Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard?

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard and wanted to use SDK to open and modify PDF files. Which version of SDK should I download from Adobe SDK website?

    I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 but when I do go the Adobe website, under Adobe SDK 7.0 it only shows versions for Linux and Solaris not Windows. Under SDK 7.0.5 it shows the Windows versions. Can I use the 7.0.5 SDK for Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.0?

  • Is there a network management solution for adobe reader updates.

    Hi
    I'm looking for a program we can install on our update server to push adobe updates to +\- 300 users that don't have admin rights.  Anyone know of any software that would do this?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Doug:
    Since your options don't seem to be limited by pay vs. open source, you have a multitude of possible solutions. You could purchase the now outdated SMS 2003 product from Microsoft, or elect to go with their "latest and greatest" distribution management product SCCM. We have dabbled with another similar product here that shows promise: Altiris. An open source option that I ran across in my research is WPKG. I can not vouch for WPKG but it seems a viable solution. Keep in mind, with a paid product, you are paying for support as well as the software. If you elect to go with an open source option, support can be somewhat limited in scope.
    I hope this helps?

  • Adobe Reader update 11.0.09   Broke my mouse magnifier.  I uninstalled but now I get prompts to install.  How do I get rid of the prompts?

    My gawd this site is the most ridiculously difficult site I've ever seen.  Round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows.  Will someone please tell me how to make the prompt for Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 go away??   It already shows that number was d/l'd in Sept. 2014.  I d/l'd it the other day and it broke the magnifier on my microsoft 5000 mouse.  I use that a LOT.  I can't lose it.  I uninstalled the update and now I get prompts continuously.  What to do? 

    Thank you I will try that.  Why am I being prompted to d/l an old update?  I didn't even know there was a more recent one. 

  • In Adobe Acrobat 9 which I have been using for a long time (Widows 7) says, You cannot use this prod

    In Adobe Acrobat 9 (Wndows 7) which I have been using for a long time now it says I cannot use it withoutv repairing.  It instructs me to uninstall & reinstall...

    I have not run into this yet with my AA9 and Win7, but have been seeing posts about it. I would try a repair before I would do an uninstall and reinstall. You might also turn off javascript for a bit in case there has been some javascript that has caused problems (ok, making wild guesses). If you do decide to uninstall, be sure to deactivate first, uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. Then proceed to the reinstall and updates.
    There is a question about whether being able to use it is correct, or you are just getting some message that is a spam that somehow got into your system (again, a possible javascript issue). Besides turning off javascript, you could also try isolating the javascripts to moving them to a temporary directory and seeing if one is causing the problem.

    According to the link you posted, it seems to be required to install the Flash Player plugin to view Flash content in PDF files.
    On the other hand I do not quite understand why there is a NPSWF32.dll file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader ...

  • Which TCP/UDP ports need to be opened on a firewall for adobe reader and flashplayer?

    Which TCP/UDP ports need to be opened on a firewall for adobe reader and flashplaer to operate properly? This would include updating, linking, and any subset of features.

    The Acrobat Family uses TCP HTTP/HTTPS for all traffic. The following processes and ports may be active on a Windows client machine:
    AdobeARM.exe - automatic updates - port 443
    AcroRd32.exe - brand messages - port 443
    AcroRd32.exe - links in documents - anything specified in the URL
    Acrobat.exe - brand messages - port 443
    Acrobat.exe - links in documents - anything specified in the URL
    AdobeCollabSync.exe - Tracker review data - port 443
    The same ports are used by the  program components on OS X.
    There are no inbound listening ports for any elements of the Acrobat Family. Automatic updates are not pushed and there are no server processes within the software.

  • How to enable forms extenstion for adobe reader using Acrobat SDK?

    Adobe acrobat GUI tool  enables PDF forms designers to extend the use of Adobe Reader and allow the end user to save the PDF form locally using the Reader.
    Is it possible to do the same kind of fuctionality at run time on the server using Acrobat SDK?.
    We are creating several PDF Form on the server, is there any way we can use Acrobat SDK to enable form's extenstions programatically on the server after the PDF is created.
    If Yes How? any code example?

    Not using the Acrobat SDK, no.
    However, Adobe sells the LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server that can be
    used on a server for exactly this purpose.

  • Silent install for adobe reader version 110003

    silent install for adobe reader version 110003

    Hi,
    I don't know your more details about how you pretend to deploy your Adobe Reader but I did this to my current deployment and many people on the company are happy with this:
    1- I extracted the contents from the Adobe Reader installer.
    2- I modified the MSI using Customization Wizard to hide some menus (Maybe you can skip this step if you don't need to customize it)
    3- On SCCM 2012 I created a Script deployment with a CMD file which contains the following command for silent install. (You don't need to have an SCCM infrastructure to deploy it but it will help)
    start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
    or
    msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
    - On my case I used %~dp0 because I'm installing from a server caching files on client machines but if you pretend to test and install it locally avoid using: %~dp0 and put your absolut path. Like C:\Temp or your MSI and source files location.
    - Start /wait - Will execute your MSI installer file and then once is finished will proceed with the next command if any.
    - Transforms- will force the MSI to apply the custom settings I did on Customization Wizard)
    - PATCH- command will proceed to install the patches you may have at the moment 11.0.1, 11.0.2, etc...
    Hope this will help you !

  • Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
    YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.
