    How to silent Upgrade Adobe Reader from 10.1.4 to 10.1.8?

    Marabunta Community Member

      Hi,

       

      my problem is that i have 10.1.4 and I want 10.1.8.

       

      If I understood this right: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html

      • Acrobat (Formula = Base release + latest quarterly + latest out of cycle patch)
      • Acceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.1.8 (Q)
      • Acceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.1.5 (Q) > 10.1.6 (OOC)
      • [..]
      • Acceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.0.1 (Q) > 10.0.3 (OOC)
      • Unacceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.1.0 (Q) > 10.1.8 (Q) <<<<<<<<<<

      It will only work if I uninstall 10.1.4 first before I can install 10.1.8.

       

      Now to uninstall 10.1.4 i need the GUID found here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Installer

       

      How do I have to do write my script, so it will identify the GUID of any newer version of the Reader?

       

      ### It looks like this:

      ##Installing Adobe Reader 10.1.4 # currently not using variables

       

      D:\Test\Adobe_Patch_Daten\AdbeRdr1014_de_DE.exe -nos_oD:\Test\Adobe_Reader_10.1.4\ -nos_ne /sAll

       

      msiexec /qb /a "D:\Test\Adobe_Reader_10.1.4\AcroRead.msi" TARGETDIR="D:\Test\Adobe_Reader_10.1.4\AIP" /quie

       

      msiexec /qb /a "D:\Test\Adobe_Reader_10.1.4\AIP\AcroRead.msi" /p "D:\Test\Adobe_Reader_10.1.4\AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp" /quiet

       

      msiexec /i D:\Test\Adobe_Reader_10.1.4\AIP\AcroRead.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe" /quiet /log log.txt

       

      ### From here uninstalling 10.1.4

      ## -> I copied the GUID from regedit manually

      @@@ How do I automatically get the new GUID from regedit?

       

      msiexec /qb /x {AC76BA86-7AD7-1031-7B44-AA1000000001} /quiet

      Next step: Install 10.1.8 -> no exe file so my way may not work

      @@@ How to install silent with msp? (I wasnt successful...dunno why)

      Refering to the exhibit I have to got this way - -> 10.0.0 -> 10.1.8

       

      Thanks,
