Thanks Tariq and Rave,
I went over the link Rave posted to Administrative Installation Points — Enterprise Administration Guide and it seems I have done all the steps. Could you please be more precise about :
"Please make sure you are copying the AcroPro.msi file from the base location to the new folder and then patch it with the latest version."
1. The instructions you provided at the link above do not mention anything about copying AcroPro.msi
2. What exactly are you referring to when you refer to "the new folder"? The initial AIP created from the base installer files? (This would be step #7 in the link above:
7. At a command prompt, run:
msiexec /a <AIP distribution point dir path>\<ProductName>.msi TARGETDIR="<AIP distribution point dir path>"
When I perform the above, the initial AIP gets created, and the AcroPro.msi is ALREADY in this folder.
My problem is:
After applying the PATCH to the initial AIP (which already has AcroPro.msi) using the following command :
msiexec /a <AIP_dir\AcroPro.msi> /p <Path to Acrobat 11.x.x patch>
I am then prompted for the location of the NEW, PATCHED AIP. I enter in the folder for the NEW AIP. The GUI then indicates the progress, and gives a message that it completed successfully.
Then, when I go to look in the new AIP that is patched to 11.0.0.18, AcroPro.msi does NOT exist in this new AIP. So my question for you is this:
Are you saying I should copy the AcroPro.msi from the ORIGINAL installation media, or the ORIGINAL AIP, when you refer to the "base location"?
Why do we have to do this all of a sudden? All the times in the past, the AIP creation with the patch already had AcroPro.msi in the folder, and we did not have to post this question.
