as an replacement for the 9.4.1 version of adobe reader enu, yes (because it is, in fact). according to adobe, this version works to xp and beyond. the non-english versions will be updated as soon the localized versions arrive

You will also have to rename the addon pack from Adobe Reader 9 Addon Pack to Adobe Reader 10 Addon Pack.

Although Reader X was downloaded, and shows as installed (blue) Adobe shows false in Autopatcher.previous versions have been removed from modules.

i'm not sure if something broke in the upload or in another part of the process, but in my local folder it was ok. re-uploaded and it was unofficial. so, it was re-signed and uploaded again. changes? 1 byte at the .rti file. seems that it worked

Just ran APUP then Autopatcher - Adobe Reader 10 is shown as expected. Because Adobe called it Adobe Reader X you might want to consider labelling it that way to prevent what could be many queries asking about what is the correct version/name that may be posted here in the future.

A couple of issues to report:
After updating the Adobe Reader apup folder, all appears well. Release shows official. After 2nd attempt at updating Adobe Reader folder (force of habit - doing it twice just to be sure
), it downloads the update to the folder again. More attempts kept re-downloading ...
Since the release already showed as official, I attempted to install on my computer. Rather than install, AutoPatcher immediately finished and then wanted to restart the computer to complete the install. Adobe Reader 10 didn't install. Even if everything was correct .. is the restart really necessary?
Thanks in advance

that's weird:
as for the reboot, it happens due this:
RequiresReboot=True
it is and it isn't required. it is when the system had 9.4 or older versions in place, but it isn't when the system is clean.
> is the restart really necessary?
if nothing was done, then no. but autopatcher doesn't know that the .bat file that was created to run the update didn't finished properly. due that, autopatcher assumes that everything was done as expected and then the RequiresReboot=True is processed. again, as an hint, please check the adobe reader file. if that matches ok, please not try it again with autopatcher and run that as any other app. without the silent mode, you may see the reason why v10 isn't being deployed into your system. it may have some pre-req that adobe didn't stated, you know...

so, no re-downloading in here. it may be an broken download, but i'm not sure. can you please check if AdbeRdr1000_en_US.exe is located at modules\stand_alone\AdbeRdr940_en_US.apm_files and has 287C7918C55385B63602CB9737068ED9 as md5?as for the reboot, it happens due this:

Hmmm, that is weird. I checked for AdbeRdr1000_en_US.exe like you asked. It looks like everything is correct. AdbeRdr1000_en_US.exe is in modules\stand_alone\AdbeRdr940_en_US.apm_files and has 287C7918C55385B63602CB9737068ED9 for the md5. But, it is still re-downloading.
Thanks for the explanation regarding the reboot. Were you saying that you wanted me to try installing it manually? I know I did that once before with something else (.net full?) a while back and then I was no longer able help with any troubleshooting (because problem was solved for my install issue). I just wanted to check before I went ahead and did it

it was right in front of me and i didn't saw...:
PreAction=rmdir /S /Q autopatcher:\modules\stand_alone\AdbeRdr940_en_US.apm_files
as the script was downloading that file into the wrong place, the module wasn't finding the file and wasn't installing anything. the script was fixed to that. so, it will move the file to right place. also, that explains that first issue, but doesn't explain why it didn't erased the folder in here to re-download the whole thing again. but oh well...
well, please let me now if this fixed the issue

Hmm, are you sure you uploaded the correct reader script - the new reader 10 script seems to be pointing to reader 9x...
