Adobe has always had the patching issues. We spent time with them several years back and they decided they would work with Microsoft to provide updates through Microsoft's ConfigMgr SCUP catalog. It was just a promise, they never ended up doing that.

One of my minions was researching this until we hit unrelated snags. From what he said, Adobe's distribution methodology is a crock. He had a doc from Adobe -- I'm pretty sure it's the same one Rob Trent points to -- that spelled out how you had to do things. Apparently you can't just apply patches; only certain categories of patches can be applied to certain releases, and then you can't patch that install point again. Oh, and the way the client PCs installed a patch was obscene; it basically could only do a full uninstall and then reinstall from scratch. Adobe has all the same patch management problems today that Microsoft had in 1997. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
