[wpkg-users] Acrobat Pro Security Updates - Check if last full update was installed?

Hey,
I was wondering what is the best way to integrate small security updates 
(Acrobat Pro for example).
The Problem is that those small updates wont include the last ones and 
so it wont work if the latest version isnt installed. Because of this i 
cant remove the latest full update from my wpkg package.
The downside is that with this it reinstall the full package before the 
small update even tho it is already installed and it takes a lot more 
time.

I cant just remove the fullupdate because we have lots of clients that 
arent regulary turned on so if those start up again they depend on the 
latest full update for sure.
The small security fix also increases the version number.

My current update method looks like this:

<!-- Full Update -->
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /update 
"%SOFTWARE%\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrobatUpd10110.msp"' >
                 <exit code="0" />
                 <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
</upgrade>
<!-- Small Security Fix -->
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /update 
"%SOFTWARE%\Adobe\Acroba\AcrobatSecUpd10111.msp"'>
                 <exit code="0" />
                 <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
</upgrade>

Is there a way to let wpkg check if the latest full update is allready 
installed and then skips the first upgrade command and only installs the 
fix?

Thanks for any Ideas!
