PATCHED Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.23 Ml
Aminta Brauer
I've downloaded the "base" installer (Acrobat_2015_Web_WWMUI.exe) from the Adobe Licensing website. I extract it, and am left with bunch of different files, including the AcroPro.msi file, which is version 15.006.30033 according to Orca and the Adobe Customization Wizard.
I deploy using Group Policy, but here is where the installation fails. There is an error message in the Windows Application log stating, "Product: Adobe Acrobat DC -- Error 1334.The file 'dropboxstorage.api' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'Data1.cab'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."
I remember a while back having this problem (missing files in the Data1.cab) and it being the result of my trying to apply the quarterly patch to an already patched MSI, rather than applying the quarterly patch to the base MSI file. But as far as I can tell, that's not happening here - I'm applying the patch to the base MSI.
Have tried with and without the product being already present on the machine. The base install files (downloaded from Adobe Licensing website) install without any problem. It's just the patched version of the install files that is failing.
I also noticed that after applying the patch (using the command msiexec /a d:\adobe\acropro.msi /update d:\adobe\acrobat2015upd1500630094.msp), the "patched" acropro.msi file is the exact same size as the base/unpatched acropro.msi file. This has not been the case when patching previous versions of Acrobat (e.g., patched AcroStan.msi is a different size than base AcroStan.msi when patching Acrobat Standard X). The only difference I can see is in the "ProductVersion" property of the "Property" table when viewing the msi in Orca (patched AcroStan.msi file reports version as "15.006.30094" whereas base AcroStan.msi file reports version as 15.006.30033). Patching just seems to add about 1.57 GB of new files/folders to the AIP (see screenshot).
I am deploying Acrobat 9 via Active Directory. According to the documentation I should be able to create an adminstrative installation and then patch that installation. So far that has not worked and I am not certain at this point if there is a problem with patching or the fact that my installation is a CLP license. My next attempt was to deploy with AD, but I modified the setup.ini file and first listed all of the patches, and when that didn't work I put the complete path to each patch in the setup.ini. Still the patches are not applied to the new installation. Can any explain if and how it is possible to deploy a patched copy of acrobat please.
