You need to create a new admin install point with the 1010 msi and then update it using 1011 and 1012 msp's.

I was trying to apply 10.1.2 to 10.1.0 which according to the doc is illegal. So, I downloaded AdbeRdr1000_en_us.msi from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/ and AdbeRdrUpd1012.msp from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.2/misc/. I then executed the following command from a command prompt in the c:\somefolder directory msiexec /a c:\somefolder\AdbeRdr1000_en_us.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd1012.msp I got The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update 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. It seems like that should have worked . What am I missing?

I've tried (seriously) about 10 different ways of doing it from various different downloads and orders of applying .msp files but none have resulted in a functional install point. I've done it many times in the past so I know this isn't all that difficult. Can someone tell me which files to download from where and how to set up the admin install. I've basically been trying msiexec /a c:\somefolder\Acroread.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd1012.msp with various msi's and msps (downloaded from different adobe sites or extracted from .exe files which were downloaded from adobe). Either the msiexec fails with an error or it generates a package that won't install. It would be really handy if I could download a v 10.1.2 msi but I haven't found that yet. Then I'd just do msiexec /a acroread.msi Thanks for your help.
