Reader 10.0.0 MUI Patch Upgrade Sequence

I wanted to confirm my understanding of the Reader MUI patch sequence is correct.Lets say I have a bootstrapper installation that contains the  base version 10.0.0.  My understanding is that in order to get Reader to the most current version I need to install the 10.1.0 patch and then the 10.1.3 patch. For example 10.0.0>10.1.0>10.1.3. Are these the correct patches that need to be installed to ensure Reader is fully up to date?

So are MUI patches cumulative to the last base? Could I essentially just do 10.0>10.1.3?


Yes.

Close. MSI installers are full installers, so skip 10.0 and just install 10.1 > 10.1.3.

Sorry if this gets confusing  - That's what I originally thought needed to be done but Adobe's 10.1 MUI installation doesnt appear to be just a MSI installation, it appears to be a bootstrapper that's installing the 10.0 msi and patching it with the 10.1 MUI msp. Here's why I asked the question the way I did - Awhile back I deployed 10.0 MUI and I still have my old installation/package saved along with the custom configuration (mst) that I built with the Custimization Wizard. It would have saved me alot of time to just re-use that installation and include the 10.1 and 10.1.3 patches  (by putting the file names in the "patch" value in the ini) rather than building a completely new installation of 10.1 and going back through setting it up in the customization wizard.

I'm just going to play it safe and use the 10.1 MUI installation (ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/misc/AdbeRdr1010_mui_Std.zip) and include the 10.1.3 patch (ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.3/misc/AdbeRdrUpd1013_MUI.msp).

Also, one other question (to further my understanding): If 10.0 was installed and then patched with the 10.1.1 quarterly msp, then patched with 10.1.3 quarterly msp, this technically isnt correct and Reader could have vulnerabilities, correct?

Hi,

For the first part, you raise an interesting case. If there is a 10.1 MSP in the package you could try chaining that with 10.1.3 in the INI. It's not supported, but it could work.

For the second part, you're right. In fact, it shouldn't even work at all.
