Applying an Adobe update(MSP file) to a package that was created with Adobe's customization tool
I created a package of Adobe reader 9.1.0 using Adobe's customization tool. That is the latest file available that you can download from adobe, that I'm aware of. I want to apply the 9.1.2 patch to it. How can I do this for the clean install and also apply it to older version of reader 9 that are in my environment?

I was hoping to do this without having to install another product but i'll look at this. Thanks

do i need to put anything in for the path if the update is in the same directory as the install?

I applied that command to the customization and it didn't work. I have the msp out in the same network shave as the install. So I put this value in for the path \\server\software$\SCCM Apps\Adobe. Then i put in your command in under command, and wait I set to no. What am i doing wrong?
Please go to this link
http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/rdr_distribution1.html
go under "Distribute free Adobe Reader"
and register
Adobe will send you an email with download instruction, download the MSI file and create "package from definition" in SCCM and deploy to your clients.
I have tested this with flash player in past, if i try to deploy the MSI without registering with adobe, it fails.
Then i registered on adobe and they send me an email with download link and it worked.
Here is what i got in email from adobe
