I just hope they fix the issue with redirecting the APPDATA folder they
broke in 9.0 that worked in 8.x.

 

Nope, not fixed and now documented as not supported.  From

*   Roaming Profiles on Windows and Networked Home Directory on
Macintosh are not supported configurations for 9.0 or 9.1, however we have
made several fixes in 9.1. We are looking at the possibility of supporting
this for the next major release.

I always get it from the Adobe FTP site. 
There is a 9.1 build there:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.1/enu/

Go up a level for other languages.

Not really.  Other than the filename they send you, the same process can be
used for Reader 8.x, 9.x, Acrobat Pro 8.x, 9.x and I am sure other Adobe
software packages.  When they release 9.1, the only thing that will change
will be the filename.  I just hope they fix the issue with redirecting the
APPDATA folder they broke in 9.0 that worked in 8.x.

What method are you referring to? The integrated Adobe Updater method? What

Yesterday, I downloaded 9.1 from the public FTP site and used the method I
mentioned. Customized it with the Adobe Customization Wizard and all is
well.

Good call.  

It's bullocks they are still pushing out 9.0 and not 9.1 via means that
they give you to legally distribute Reader.  (Just checked, they
download link still is 9.0 as of an hour ago).

The patch is out.  It's an update from 9.0 to 9.1.  My question is
whether or not they're going to provide another download to give us

Just an FYI:

March 9, Computerworld - (International) Foxit PDF viewer open to
attack, say researchers. Security researchers on March 9 warned of
several vulnerabilities in Foxit, a free PDF document viewer that has
been recommended as an alternative to Adobe Reader, which currently
contains an unpatched critical bug of its own. Foxit Software Co.
patched its namesake on March 9 to plug three holes. One of the three
vulnerabilities is in the same JBIG2 image compression format fingered
by researchers last month as the root of the bug in Adobe System Inc.'s
popular Reader and Acrobat applications. The flaw in Adobe's software,
which has been exploited by hackers since at least early January, will
not be patched until March 11, according to Adobe's schedule. The Foxit
and Adobe bugs are unrelated, however, except for the fact that they are
both in the code that parses JBIG2 images, said the chief technology
officer at Secunia, the Danish company that reported the flaw to Foxit.
"It is a completely different vulnerability related to JBIG2," he said
in an e-mail on March 9. It was Adobe's confirmation of its bug that
prompted Secunia researchers to dig into other PDF viewers. "We did,
however, start the research in Foxit out of curiosity based on the Adobe
vulnerability, and discovered this new vulnerability," the chief
technology officer said. Secunia reported the bug to Foxit on February
27. The remaining two bugs in Foxit were reported February 18 by Core
Security Technologies, a developer of penetration testing software. One
of the vulnerabilities can trigger a buffer overflow, while the other
could be used by attackers to circumvent security warnings.

  It seems like FoxIt often ends up issuing vulnerability notices for
their Reader software when Adobe does for theirs.  Is FoxIt licensing
come code from Adobe or something?

Just an FYI:

March 9, Computerworld - (International) Foxit PDF viewer open to
attack, say researchers. Security researchers on March 9 warned of
several vulnerabilities in Foxit, a free PDF document viewer that has
been recommended as an alternative to Adobe Reader, which currently
contains an unpatched critical bug of its own. Foxit Software Co.
patched its namesake on March 9 to plug three holes. One of the three
vulnerabilities is in the same JBIG2 image compression format fingered
by researchers last month as the root of the bug in Adobe System Inc.'s
popular Reader and Acrobat applications. The flaw in Adobe's software,
which has been exploited by hackers since at least early January, will
not be patched until March 11, according to Adobe's schedule. The Foxit
and Adobe bugs are unrelated, however, except for the fact that they are
both in the code that parses JBIG2 images, said the chief technology
officer at Secunia, the Danish company that reported the flaw to Foxit.
"It is a completely different vulnerability related to JBIG2," he said
in an e-mail on March 9. It was Adobe's confirmation of its bug that
prompted Secunia researchers to dig into other PDF viewers. "We did,
however, start the research in Foxit out of curiosity based on the Adobe
vulnerability, and discovered this new vulnerability," the chief
technology officer said. Secunia reported the bug to Foxit on February
27. The remaining two bugs in Foxit were reported February 18 by Core
Security Technologies, a developer of penetration testing software. One
of the vulnerabilities can trigger a buffer overflow, while the other
could be used by attackers to circumvent security warnings.

That article is in reference to the earlier workaround of disabling JavaScript 
in Adobe Reader, not the 3/11/09 patch.

The patch is out.  It's an update from 9.0 to 9.1.  My question is
whether or not they're going to provide another download to give us
separate files for Adobe Air and Reader.  Right now, the full download
of the update only provides one install, which includes both.  You can
get just the reader install from the FTP site, but it is an .exe, not
.msi...
