AutoPatcher Forum

the issue was tracked. the download was being done in the wrong folder. the script will move the file to the proper place. issue: at modules\stand_alone yours may find AdbeRdr930_en_US.apm_files. this is an empty folder and can be removed. due some reason, the removal isn't working right now. i will try a few extra tricks later about this

Adobe Reader update patch to version 9.3.4 released today.

ok. this one will be added tomorrow

thanks

[]s

done. v9.3.4 was added into all adobe reader scripts

[]s

Ran APUP.

Opened AdbeRdr933_en_us.apm

Found this:
[DetectionFile]
FilePath=progfiles:\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader
FileName=AcroRd32.exe
FileVersion=9.3.3.117

Opened registry - it should read:
[DetectionFile]
FilePath=progfiles:\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader
FileName=AcroRd32.exe
FileVersion=9.3.3.177 <-----

Ran AutoPatcher - all Adobe items blue after above correction made to the APM file

well, autopatcher has an AND and a OR detection. the AND detection works if there's only one kind of detection and the OR detection works if both types of detections are present. in this particular module, the detection must be OR, because the main module needs to detect 9.3.3 and 9.3.4 version. so, even if the file version doesn't match, then the following registry detection should state that 9.3.3 is present, doesn't matter if .117 or .177:
[DetectionRegistry]
RegistryPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A93000000001}
KeyName=DisplayVersion
KeyValue=9.3.3

RegistryPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A93000000001}
KeyName=DisplayVersion
KeyValue=9.3.4

are you sure that any of those registry keys are present in your system?

I checked my XP Pro w/SP3 system - the registry has the second one; with the 9.3.4

yes, because you have updated to 9.3.4. the problem is that AcroRd32.exe 9.3.3.177 wasn't updated, but AcroRd32.dll was updated to 9.3.4.218. and that is why i'm concerned that at #65 you said that the detection wasn't working. it should show as already installed if any of those registry entries is present. but i will take a look on that. the vm that i've set to seven doesn't have adobe reader, making simple an test for it

At #65 I did not say detection did not work. I had run APUP and before I ran AutoPatcher I checked the APM file against the actual files on my system - that's why I posted the message about the difference in the version numbers. After I made the changes, as I indicated, then I ran Autopatcher and everything for Adobe Reader was blue. Sorry if my posting confused things.

You implied it, otherwise why the need to change the detection. Did you actually try the detection before you edited the .apm as stated in post #65, it looks like no. You edited the .apm before so in effect the detection could have worked regardless if it was .117 or .177.

DesertJerry said:

What was the color before you made the change to the .apm file? The detection should have been changed to match but it was kind of a misleading report seeing that you hadn't run AutoPatcher prior to editing the module.

I did what I did because I don't install Adobe Reader in the default location so, to verify any updated APM files I review and edit them so they point to the actual location of the installation on my systems. During that process and to verify file versions I also check the information in the APM file with what is installed here - saving myself time and effort if things do not agree.

This is the same procedure I follow for the multitude of programs/addons/etc I have installed in locations other than the default or what is shown in the APM.

That clears it up

yep, a lot. but a hint: to registry detections, the install patch is irrelevant

looking into adobe ftp, i've found adobe reader 9.3.4, integrated version, for enu. again, adobe did the integration only for deu, enu, esp, fra and jpn. currently, the adobe reader enu script is 9.3.4, but the main version is 9.3.3, with the 9.3.4 update. yours think that is required update the adobe reader enu script to include just the integrated version? the final result will be the same, downloading the integrated version or not

Adobe Reader 9.4.0 released today.

thanks. i'm downloading all the 3 versions, but i will be unable to update the scripts by today. in meantime, for those that are on hurry, those are the download links:
the folder name will be at the same place, with the name of the file, without the .exe, plus .apm_files, like: AdbeRdr940_en_US.apm_files

[]s

updated. the PTB (1046) version will load in European Portuguese (2070) as well. just an warn: adobe reader will work, but the adobe reader interface will remain in 1046

Adobe Reader (Update) for Windows 9.4.1 now out.

ok, that version is an update. it will be added by tomorrow
