New Post: Republishing Adobe Reader with customized settings

Hello,

there are many different installations of Adobe Reader in our enterprise. Most of them are 11.0.03 but even MUI versions and many 11.0.04 and 11.0.05.
Further several of them are allready published by WPP but without customized settings.

Now i want to republish Adobe Reader and prefer some customized settings and the latest version 11.0.06.

My previous method is downloading the latest version 11.0.06 from
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.06/de_DE/
unzip it und open the included AcroRead.msi with the Adobe Customization Wizard XI.

Edited points:

• Installation Path to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Reader 11.0" (ignoring x86 and x64 because of a simple ruleset later in WPP)
• removed AutoUpdater
• deactivated all possible online services
  etc.
  After saving the the file i open in WPP the MSI Reader to check the MSI Product Code of my edited AcroRead.msi.
  It is still {AC76BA86-7AD7-1031-7B44-AB0000000001} whether if i open the default AcroRead.msi of version 11.0.00 or later.
  It is obviously always the msi file of version 11.0.00 independent of the version of the exe file.
  

Nevertheless i create in WPP a new Update and select the setup.exe and additional Setup.ini, ABCPY.ini, AcroRead.msi, AcroRead.mst and Data1.cab.
My allready installed ruleset is

<lar:And>
<msiar:MsiProductInstalled ProductCode="{ac76ba86-7ad7-1031-7b44-ab0000000001}"/>
<bar:WindowsVersion Comparison="GreaterThan" MajorVersion="5" MinorVersion="1" ProductType="1"/>
<bar:FileExists Path="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"/>
</lar:And>

My still installable ruleset is

<lar:Or>
<lar:And>
<bar:WindowsVersion Comparison="GreaterThan" MajorVersion="5" MinorVersion="1" ProductType="1"/>
<lar:Not><msiar:MsiProductInstalled ProductCode="{ac76ba86-7ad7-1031-7b44-ab0000000001}"/></lar:Not>
</lar:And>
<lar:And>
<bar:WindowsVersion Comparison="GreaterThan" MajorVersion="5" MinorVersion="1" ProductType="1"/>
<msiar:MsiProductInstalled ProductCode="{ac76ba86-7ad7-1031-7b44-ab0000000001}"/>
<lar:Not><bar:FileExists Path="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"/></lar:Not>
</lar:And>
</lar:Or>

After approving my test clients get this new windows update. But by installing it the installer detects an already existing Adobe Reader installation and requires a user input to repair or uninstall it. If i check the uninstall procedure the uninstallation works fine but the reinstallation of the new customized package has to be initiated by Windows Update again.

My matter is that i do not want the users to be required to uninstall a previous Adobe Reader version. I would prefer if the previous installed version uninstalls und the new installs absolutely silently.
In the Customization Tool ist the option "Remove all versions of Reader" already checked.

Any ideas?
