[wpkg-users] trouble with check conditions

[Rob Bos]

With a little experimentation, it seems that doing something like

     <variable name="PATCHLIST" 
value="%LOCALCACHE%\%PKG_PATH%\AdbeRdrUpd1015.msp;%LOCALCACHE%\%PKG_PATH%\AdbeRdrSecUpd1016.msp" 
/>
     <install cmd='msiexec /qb! /i 
"%LOCALCACHE%\%PKG_PATH%\AcroRead.msi" PATCH="%PATCHLIST%" 
TRANSFORMS="%LOCALCACHE%\%PKG_PATH%\AdbeRdr1010_en_US.mst" /log 
%LOG_PATCH% ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES /norestart'>

also seems to only install the necessary patches without doing a full 
reinstall. No need to loop.

Adobe reader/acrobat patches go base -> latest quarterly -> OOC 
patches.  Right now, that's 10.1, 10.1.5, 10.1.6.
