There are now three installations that need to be completed in order to install the latest version of Acrobat Professional.

6.0.0 which is in standard .msi format and can be deployed using a GPO after a little tweaking.

6.0.1 which is an .msp format but cannot be applied to a network source of 6.0.0. If this could be done, I could simply redeploy the GPO and get the update down to the workstations.

6.0.2 which is back to .msi format however if you apply it to 6.0.0, you don't get the update displayed in Acrobat Professional. I haven't fully tested this yet, but it appears to be in a "GPO friendly" state already.

Does anyone have a way to deploy the 6.0.1 patch via GPO? I could write an msi wrapper around it, but then it won't sequence smoothly in AD.

Installing Acrobat via GPO doesn't appear to be supported according to this:

Lots of good comments but no solutions were posted.

I am at this point in August that this threads talks about June.

Was there a solutions?

I have a 3rd party that displays critical information via Adobe's plugins into IE but Adobe has to be 6.0.2 for the diplays to work with IE.

I am trying to come up with two pushes via GPO.

One for Adobe Standard 6.0.5 and the other for Adobe Reader 6.0.1.

So, did anyone find away to upgrade to 6.0.2 using GPO's?

Would be most grateful if some knows how to do this.

What would be nice would be if adobe just repackaged Acrobat including all the patches/updates so that there was just one MSI file that could be distributed over GPO. Or if they didn't use installshield for their installer because i've found most installer problems i have relate to the fact that InstallShield is useless!!!
