Acrobat v8 Standard Admin point install patches

[Ed_Puariea]

We have an application that will not work with Acrobat 9 so at this point I need to create an Admin point install for version 8 and would like to update the admin point to the most recent update for Acrobat 8.  Is there a chart I can use that list the updates I need to apply and in what order?

Like this.

Acrobat 9.0.0 -> 9.1.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.1.2 (Quarterly) -> 9.2.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.0 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.2 (Quarterly) -> 9.3.3 (Quarterly) -> 9.4.0 (Quarterly)

Thanks In advance for any information you can share.

I have the list, it says to get to the latest version go from 8.0>8.2.msi>8.2.2,msp>8.2.3.msp>8.2.4,msp.  Question is now whwere do i get the 8.2.msi?  I do not see it listed.

Thanks

I found the download for 8.2 an have since downloaded 8.2.2.msp  8.2.3.msp  8.2.4.msp and 8.2.5.msp.  The documention does not mention the 8.2.5.msp patch.  Will that work on 8.2.4. I would hate to get there and find out I was supposed to go from 8.2 to 8.2.5.msp.

I built the 8.0 admin point and of course can't apply the 8.2. to it.  i think it said I need to apply the 8.2.msi, i thought i found and downloaded the 8.2.msi but it actually an 8.2.msp.  If I in fact need the 8.2.MSI where would one find that?

Thanks

Ed,

The doc states that Acrobat updates are always MSPs. You must apply every MSP in order. Everything is available at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/.

The map says 8.0 > 8.2.MSI  Please see the chart.  I created an admin point with Acrobat Stan v8.  I donloaded the 8.2.MSP and 8.2.2.msp and 8.2.3.MSP and 8.2.4.MSP and 8.2.5.MSP.  When I try to apply the 8.2.MSP file to my admin point install it tells me the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer becaouse the program may be missing or the upgrade patch may be adifferent version...........   I have admin points set up for Acrobat Stan Pro and reader v9.4 so I have some exsperience with updating the admin point.  So not sure what to do at this point, if the map says 8.2.MSI and all I can find is the 8.2.MSP and that does not work, what next?

Ed,

As I stated before: Acrobat updates are always MSPs. Read the text in the quick key. That's what it says, and it's true. You will not find an MSI know matter how hard you look. Apply all the MSPs.

Ok so If I'm At 8.0 what MSP should I start with, and in what order to get me to 8.2.5????????  This is the only info I seem to be missing, since I am not able to update from 8.0 > 8.2.MSP  what am I missing please and thanks,  well besides a brain.  HHEHEEHEH

8.0.0 > 8.1.0 > 8.1.1 > 8.1.2 > 8.1.3 > 8.1.6 > 8.1.7 > 8.2.0 > 8.2.2 > 8.2.3 > 8.2.5

The basic idea for applying patches is that Security patches can be applied over quarterly patches, quarterly patches can be applied over quarterly patches but quarterly patches cannot be applied over security patches.

Got the correct map now, thanks. I could not find 8.1msp but managed to find it on the last link that was provded to us by Adobe support.  I think we are making forward progress at this time.

Thanks to all that helped.

It was a good day I didn't have to use my AK,     LOL     a quote from a song.
