After Slipstreaming Updates, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended shows "STANDARD" edition

Hi to everyone.


I slipstreamed all Adobe acrobat 9 Pro extended updates up to 9.3.3. it is showing ' pro extended version' everywhere except when i click on the - help menu -> about acrobat 9 pro extended, and the pop up window shows - Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.


I slipstreamed for about 3 times thinking there was an error somewhere. I installed adobe acrobat 3 times and (only) the help menu still shows "Standard" edition.

I used this command:


eg: msiexec.exe /a Acro3d.msi /p C:\AIP\AcrobatUpd933_all_incr.msp


Acrobat just works fine, but it's wired to show Standard edition when it is Pro extended.


Does it have to do with slipstreaming? If not can anyone help me with this issue Please?


Thank you

 

Can anyone Please tell me which file/dll/exe is in charge for showing in the 'About" menu:


Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard/Pro/Extended....?


Thanks

I forgot to say you should slipstream only the "Quarterly" updates, you don't need the others. If you install for e.g the 9.1.1 after 9.1.0 the 9.1.2 won't install.

This is the right order of updates to slipstream:

1) AcroProExUpd910_all_incr.msp

2) AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp

3) AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp

4) AcrobatUpd930_all_incr.msp

5) AcrobatUpd932_all_incr.msp

6) AcrobatUpd933_all_incr.msp

I found the file responssible for showing the version in -> Help -> about menu:

it's called - splash.dll

i copied it from another Acrobat 9 intallation and paste it in my slipstreamed acrobat folder (overwrite it). Reinstalled, and now it's showing " Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended"
HAPPY

 

Thank you for your "Thanks" It's nice to hear that.

It was not easy to figure out which .dll file was in charge of that. I'm glad I found it and happy to share it with you.

 

@ CIPHER

Yes that release is patching during intallation. Here we are talking of slipstreaming updates to the .msi file. The installer includes all the updades. It's not not patching when installed.

@ everyone

If PDFMaker (Acrobat button) is unavailable in a Microsoft Office 2007 applications, like Word/Excel...ect
create a .bat file with this command:


regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll"

for windows x64 change C:\Program Files\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\
