Updating Adobe Reader

[evit]

Hello,

I am trying to update Adobe Reader but the instructions show a new install and not a patch. install-adobe-reader-remotely-to-multiple-computers How do I do an update?

Thanks,

The instructions would be nearly identical. Instead of downloading the full version installer, you’ll download the particular update that you want to install… so in the case of that tutorial we installed version 11 of Adobe Reader. On that same Adobe downloads page there is an update package:

“Adobe Reader 11.0.14 update – Multilingual (MUI) installer”

So then you simply download that file, and use BatchPatch to deploy it the same as the other. BP has built-in support for .msp, so you’ll just need to select the .msp file and execute the deployment. Nothing else special needs to happen on the BP end of things. It will update the 11.0 installation to 11.0.14.

I’ll see if we can get a tutorial posted for this at some point in the not too distant future. However, for the time being it should be very straightforward. It’s the same as any other deployment in BP, but you just pick a different package to deploy.
