So, because the currentry situation (at least for italian ;) is:

	<install cmd='msiexec /q /i "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\AdbeRdr11000_it_IT.msi" ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress TRANSFORMS="%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\AdbeRdr11000_it_IT.mst"'>
                <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
        </install>
        <install cmd='msiexec /q /update "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\AdbeRdrUpd11001.msp" ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress' >
                <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
        </install>
        <install cmd='msiexec /q /update "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp" ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress' >
                <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
        </install>
        <install cmd='msiexec /q /update "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\AdbeRdrUpd11003.msp" ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress' >
                <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
        </install>
        <install cmd='msiexec /q /update "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp" ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress' >
                <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
        </install>
        <install cmd='msiexec /q /update "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\AdbeRdrSecUpd11005.msp" ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress' >
                <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
        </install>
        <install cmd='msiexec /q /update "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\AdbeRdrUpd11006.msp" ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress' >
                <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
        </install>


it is perfectly useless to install 'AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp' and
'AdbeRdrSecUpd11005.msp' because there's (at least) a quarterly patch
after that.

Right?

I've done some tests in the past, but seems to me that applyting a MSI
patch over a just patched installation take a minimal amount of time
and cpu time, so i've decided not to complicate too much the check
condition.
