I run software update scripts that pull new installers, updates, (whatever) down nightly from a SAMBA share. I do this using AT so they run as system (giving the scripts administrator privileges effectively). I've update and installed applications for months this way, but have never been able to do Acrobat Pro Updates. I've recently tried (successfully) going from 7.0 to 7.0.5 then 7.0.7 during build time, but the scripts for the scheduled jobs (on existing machines) fail with an msiexec error 1642. All I do is extract the files and add "/qn" to defaultMSP.ini. Then simply run MSPLauncher.exe. Looking up the error says: ----------------------------------------------------- ERROR_PATCH_TARGET_NOT_FOUND 1642 The installer cannot install the upgrade patch because the program being upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch updates a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch. This error code is not available on Windows Installer version 1.0. ----------------------------------------------------- Has anyone else attempted something like this or had the same problem? -Aaron
