Silent installation of Acrobat or Reader 7.1.1 patch does not update Acrobat or Reader

Issue


When using an msiexec command line silent installation of the 7.1.1 patch file for Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader, the update does not appear to install properly. For example, when patching the application using a command like [msiexec /p AdbeRdrUpd711_all_incr.msp /qb] the application is not updated properly.

Solution


Use the REINSTALL="ALL" parameter on the command line if a silent installation through /qb is used. For example, use the following command line:

  • msiexec /p "path to .msp" REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL /qb
