Hi,
I regularly deploy new Adobe Reader updates via GP using the msi installer. Up until today, it's always worked well.
I get the above error when trying to install, but I cannot work out why. I have re-downloaded the package, re-patched it, tried running from a local disk, and still the same error occurs on all the machines I've tried installing it on. I downloaded the .exe file from the Adobe ftp site (ftp://ftp.adobe.com), extracted the .exe file and patched it using the command prompt (msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd11007.msp). Older versions work fine and I know this is nothing to do with GP. It seems there is a problem with the "Data.cab" file, but the file modification date is the same as many previous versions which run fine. I'm 99% sure this is nothing to do with my systems, more over something to do with the latest patch. Anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?
Sticking with 11006 is the only option until this is resolved.
P.S. Running the executable file installs fine, but not once I extract the .msi file and patch it.
Cheers

Thanks for sharing the details. The correct method is to create AIP in two separate transactions:
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi
msiexec /a <AcroRead.msi from AIP created above> /p AdbeRdrUpd11007.msp
To know more on how to create AIPs and patch AIPs please follow the link: 8 Administrative Installation Points — Enterprise Administration Guide
Thanks,
Rohit

install works, no problem with acroext.exe and no errors.
Any Ideas?
Thanks for reply, Rohit_Ahand.
