Answered Adobe Reader 10.1.2 Deployment Package Problem

    My goal is to get Adobe Reader X 10.1.2 packaged as a single software deployment in Windows Intune.

    Currently, I have this working as a two part install. I have the Adobe Reader X 10.1.0 .msi file along with a customized .mst file configured as a software deployment. I then have the Adobe Reader X 10.1.2 .msp file configured as a non-Microsoft update. This works, but does not meet my goal of having this all packaged together.

    Normally, I would be able to script the install as the following - when using a script, GPO, SCCM, etc:

    msiexec /i AcroRead.msi PATCH="AdbeRdrUpd1012.msp" TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"

    With Windows Intune, I’ve tried configuring an all-inclusive software deployment by selecting AcroRead.msi (selecting to upload other files in the folder) and then adding the command line:

    PATCH="AdbeRdrUpd1012.msp" TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"

    This fails with error code: 0x80070667

    If I only call the .mst file in the command line options (TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"), everything works, but I have to deploy the .msp separately as a non-Microsoft update still. I’ve attempted several ways of configuring this, but cannot seem to get it working when uploading everything as one single package. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, I cannot find any information that says this is not possible.

    Thanks in advance!

    Try this: msiexec.exe /i "\\Share\Adobe Reader 10.1.2\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\Share\Adobe Reader 10.1.2\Rdr1012.mst" /quiet /norestart /update "\\Share\Adobe Reader 10.1.2\AdbeRdrUpd1012.msp"

    I'm sorry. I'm just now seeing this. I attempted the command line that you mentioned. It only installed the base 10.1.0. It does not appear to have installed the .msp file. Have you gotten this to successfully work on your end?

    Hi there,

    try to create an administrative network installation first, than patch the network installation point with the most recent ".msp". Use it afterwards to deploy through INTUNE (if necessary with an optional MST file).

    try:

    msiexec /a  c:\temp\AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi

    then follow the setup to create the admin install point 

    Afterwards patch your new admin install point to the most current version like:

    msiexec /a  c:\tempinstallpoint\AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi /p c:\temp\AdbeRdrUpd1013.msp

    Thus you'll receive an up-to-date MSI file that can be customized with your MST that you most likely created with the Customization Wizard. If the wizard complains about the missing setup.ini file, just create an empty one in the deployment folder an let the wizard write it's content while saving the MST file.

    Configure INTUNE as you already mentioned in you initial post --> "TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mstSee http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html for the most recent pacthes an the right upgrade path.

    Sorry for the delayed response. This is one of those things that as soon as I read it I thought, "why didn't I do this in the first place?" :) Thanks!

    I was able to download Adobe Reader 1.4 from here....  http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    Run the setup af Adobe Reader and don’t click on the next button. We do not want to install the application. So don’t continue or stop the installation. We need the extracted files. The files are located at: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Setup\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AA1000000001} Copy the files to a new directory.

    Then download and install the Customization Wizard for the version 10: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/10.x/10.0.0/misc/CustWiz1000_en_US.exe

    Create the mst file.

    Once you do that you'll have a setup.ini that looks something like this:

    Setup.ini

         [Startup]
         RequireMSI=3.0
         CmdLine=/sall /rs

         [Product]
         msi=AcroRead.msi
         PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp
         CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="custom.mst"

         [MSI Updater]
         Path=http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.0/misc/WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe

    From there, I created "Managed Software" in Windows Intune and used setup.exe to install it.

    It installed quietly with the answer file and patched itself to 10.1.4.

    This actually worked much better for me. Thanks for the suggestion. Patching the admin install, while that seemed like a great idea, did not deploy properly for some reason. Thanks!

    And if this helps anyone, I know the pulling from %TEMP% folder process works, but you can also extract the files with:

    AdbeRdr1014_en_US.exe -sfx_o"." -sfx_ne

    In some cases I've had to run this twice in a row to get the MSP to extract, but it works well. Replace "." with a folder path if necessary, otherwise it'll extract to the current folder.
