How to update a mix of Adobe Acrobat (local and virtual layers) ?

  • 1.  How to update a mix of Adobe Acrobat (local and virtual layers) ?

    Posted Mar 14, 2011 09:08 AM

    Hello,

    Due to some problems with Adobe Acrobat in our environment (Windows 7 Spanish + SWV 6.3.2065) we have a mix of Adobe Acrobat installations.

    Some workstations have 9.4.1 in a layer and some others have the same version installed locally.

    I need to deploy MSP for version 9.4.2 for workstations running Adobe Acrobat locally (I'm starting using DS/CMS so I don't know very well how to do this) and change the layer for the rest.

    Any idea about how to do this kind of operations easily?

    I'm thinking in an script in DS that does the following:

    - Test if C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat exist

    - If it exist test if a layer for Adobe Acrobat exist (svscmd enum | find /c "Acrobat")

    - If the layer exist, delete it and import the new one

    - If the layer doesn't exist is a local installation so execute the update:

    Acrobat\AcrobatUpd942_all_incr.msp /qn

    (or msiexec.exe /update Acrobat\AcrobatUpd942_all_incr.msp /log C:\MyLogFile.log /qb!)

    Is there anything better?

    Thanks.
