How do you update an AIP installation of Acrobat Standard 10.1.1 to 10.1.7 without uninstallation?

[Eric12]

I am attempting to to update my clients to Acrobat Standard 10.1.7 from 10.1.1.

They were installed via command line during the machine build using an AIP of 10.1.1.

I have created a new AIP for 10.1.7 so future installs will already be at 10.1.7.

I DO NOT have SCCM and can't afford it.

I need to be able to do this via Group policies, or scripting.

The only way I've figured out to accomplish this is to do a full uninstall of the product and reinstall from a batch script.

There has got to be an easier way.

Please let me now if there is any way this can be accomplished without the full uninstall.

You can't patch 10.1.1 with 10.1.7. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html.

I think a full uninstall is required.

Thanks brogers_1.
I have come around to the process of installing the base 10.0.0 version, then run the "msiexec.exe /i [pathtomsi] /update [pathtomsp] /qb" for the current patch I wish to install.

That is working for me now.

Is there any way to uninstall a patch that you know of?

I've searched around but never find anything the is quite what I'm looking for. Do you just need the guid, or is the guid the same as the base 10.0.0 install?

Thanks,

Eric

I'm not sure about rolling back a patch.

Product identification is fully described in the admin guide.
