Having serious problems deploying Adobe Reader 11.0.10
I had a heck of a time trying to extract the .msi but I was finally able to do it.
However when I add the .msi to the Group Policy object. Instead of installing Adobe Reader 11.0.10 it installs 11.0.0
What the!!!!
Instead of updating from 11.0.8 to 11.0.10
It rolls back
From 11.0.8 to 11.0.0. Then has the audacity to tell me "There's a new update available".
I'm using the .msi that was exctracted from AdbeRdr11010_en_US.exe . I've done this for the past 10+ versions and never had these stupid stupid stupid issues.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
The download here http ://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=windows&product=10 is absolutely worthless. It gives you a .msp which you can't use in Group Policy. Unless there is a way to extract a .msi out of that, which I am not aware of.
Anyway I've always been just able to extract the AcroRead.msi and update everyone's machines using that. Now it wants to roll back the version to 2012.
Please help.
edit:
I have now attempted to do this....

It still installs 11.0.0 like a stubborn idiot. It refuses to install 11.0.10.
I tried
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrUpd11010.msp
I also tried:
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrUpd11001.msp
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrUpd11003.msp
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrSecUpd11005.msp
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrUpd11006.msp
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrUpd11007.msp
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrSecUpd11008.msp
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrUpd11009.msp
msiexec /a C:\b\AcroRead.msi /p C:\b\AdbeRdrUpd11010.msp
Not a whole lot of good that did.
I'm really struggling here.
The documentations on AIP are absolute monsters that assume you already know a lot of the information
