Windows gives me an Error when I try to add the msp to msi.

[benjamins81319044]

Hi,

I have recently a Problem with adding the most recent msp file into the msi of Acrobat Reader DC.

• MSI Version: 15.007.20033
• MSP: Version: 18.009.20050

I downloaded the MSI seperatly from the Adobe FTP Server and I extracted it from the recent .exe file I get from Adobe - Weiterverteilung von Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

The Steps I take are the following.

1. Run "msiexec /a AcroRead.msi" in a Command Window which I ran as Administrator.
2. Extract files to a local destination (In my case C:\AcroRead\)
3. Run "msiexec /a "C:\AcroRead\AcroRead.msi" /p "C:\users\XXXXX\downloads\AcroRdrDCUpd1800920050.msp" in the same Command Window from Step 1.

I get istantly the error .

So, how do I resolve this Error?

I put the MSI and the MSP file in the same directory and used the "TARGET" property to point it to a different direct.   However the installer still prompted me to type or browse to the correct directory.  Here is what worked for me in the Command Prompt on Windows 10.
