Adobe Acrobat Update 812 SU1 problem
After installing this update I am no longer able to uninstall Adobe Acrobat reader 8.1.2 I receive an "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid"
I have traced this down to a specific registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\68AB67CA7DA73301B7448A2100000030]
"Transforms"=@AcroRead812.mst;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Setup Files\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A81200000003}\RdrSU.mst
The update is appending on the part after the semicolon. If I remove everything after the semicolon I can then uninstall Adobe Reader. How do I fix this problem? I don't want to deploy a patch to our organization that is going to prevent me from uninstalling the application if I need to.
I think I don't like Adobe products [:'(]

Hi Joe,
what does the logfile exactly tell you?
If you can't solve the issue, you can produce your own version of v 8.1.2SU1 quite easily.
See: http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/fb.asp?m=37232
It's basically the exchange of one file.

Not very much.
I may just manually copy the file to the workstations and overwrite the existing file and update the network install point as well. Why adobe didn't release this as a patch (msp)...

I may just manually copy the file to the workstations and overwrite the existing file and update the network install point as well. Why adobe didn't release this as a patch (msp)...

Stupid question, but does 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Setup Files\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A81200000003}\RdrSU.mst' exist?

Yes the file exists. What is different is the @AcroRead812.mst which is something I'm not familiar with. Does the @ symbol specify the C:\Windows\Installer directory? I thought that the update was supposed to merge a transform with an existing transform... I don't have this problem with the full version of Acrobat after applying the patch but it specifies the full path to the transform.
Thanks for the code tip. I was looking for that when I posted but I thought the code button was for inserting html.

ORIGINAL: joedownNo, it indicates that the transform is 'secure'. Nice write-up about the different transform types can be found here http://juice.altiris.com/tip/2642/msi-transforms-and-its-types
Does the @ symbol specify the C:\Windows\Installer directory?
As the article says, you can't mix secure and non-secure transforms :(

Someone should tell that to Adobe. Shouldn't they already know that...

I tried setting the property TRANSFORMSSECURE=1 but that still didn't make the transform deployed by the patch secure. Is there more that has to be done to change the transform to be secure?

Hi Joe,
have you tried to add the "@" in front of your MST?
i would check your transform. This case results in the application of 2 transforms.
If i look at the log file, i see lots of errors regarding the application of the transform.
In my experience, 2 or more transforms often result in strange errors, because the first one does something which a later applied transform doesn't expect to be there.
A test could be to extract the "RdrSU.mst" transform from "AcrobatReaderUpd812_SU1_all.msi" and apply it with msitran to the readers 8.1.2 MSI. After that, load your transform against this new MSI in ORCA and save it.
However, as i wrote earlier: If you drive this things this far, it would probably easier to produce your own version with the SU1 already applied. We went this route and it works.
Regards, Nick

I'm going to curse Adobe (yet again) and roll my eyes if this fixes it, but have you tried using a shortname path, i.e. C:\Progra~1\Adobe\Reader~1\SetupF~1 instead of C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Setup Files?

Anyone know why Adobe decided to release this patch as a msi instead of the more logical msp? Hopefully 8.1.3 comes out soon!

Yeah, I'm bagging this update and recommending to my organization that we upgrade to version 9. I will permanently disable Javascript in 9 and then I won't have to worry about JS security vulnerabilities in Acrocrap. We will end up doing it anyway so why not get started now...

After installing this update I am no longer able to uninstall Adobe Acrobat reader 8.1.2 I receive an "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid"
I have traced this down to a specific registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\68AB67CA7DA73301B7448A2100000030]
"Transforms"=@AcroRead812.mst;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Setup Files\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A81200000003}\RdrSU.mst
The update is appending on the part after the semicolon. If I remove everything after the semicolon I can then uninstall Adobe Reader. How do I fix this problem? I don't want to deploy a patch to our organization that is going to prevent me from uninstalling the application if I need to.
I think I don't like Adobe products [:'(]
Yeah, I actually ended up deploying that patch, only to later upgrade, well try to upgrade, to Reader 9. You can actually patch their patch via scripting. I've written one that can be found here: http://www.michichael.com/misc/AdobeSU1Fixer.vbs
It's a basic vbscript that can be run with psexec or via startup scripts in your GPO - it only needs to run once to fix the issue. (This script basically changes the @ to a full pathname on the system, if it's installed).
The script includes a handy logging feature that makes it useful to run from a single workstation if you use psexec - I never did test it with login scripts. Lemme know if you have any questions!
