Hi Pat:

Not all modules are necessarily rebuilt for a security update, so some modules may still remain on the previous version.

I wouldn't have thought of that, being that it's a "quarterly" update.

Can you check what version the following modules have:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.?\Reader\AcroRd32.dll
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.?\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.?\Reader\Browser\nppdf32.dll

You're correct: They still pointing to version 9.5.1.

If main file AcroRd32.exe is still 9.5.1, I suppose the update (contrarily to what I previously thought) did not install successfully at all.

As it was an automatic update process and being that the installer did not show any error message but a successful completition, plus the fact that new version 9.5.2 is listed in my Programs feature - so creating a false impression of a successful installation - I would think that can be classified as a "bug"...... What would you say?

Could it be a factor that the update installed over 9.5.1 and not over its base 9.5.0? meaning that 9.5.1 should've been uninstalled first. This is to say that the automatic mechanism does not work properly for these updates. I don't know - just wondering!

How to troubleshoot this now?

In Reader X they all have been updated to 10.1.4.

I was planning to upgrade to X in the near future (before 9.x EOL) but now I may do it earlier.

Await your advices with interest. Thanks,

Thanks Pat. You mean just running it without previously removing actual 9.5.2 and 9.5.1?

Hey Pat, just to confirm running the patch fixed the issue and all modules are now at new v9.5.2.295. Thank you.

I would however still need to figure out why would that PLUGINS (nppdf32.dll) folder be at my IE Program folder?

Could you help me with that?

Thanks
