[wpkg-users] Adobe reader package problem

[Alan Adams]

I've been trying to create a package which will update Adobe Reader,
removing any of several possible existing versions first. An added
complication is that in the past I've installed two different MSIs which I
now discover install the same version. I therefore have to try using both
msis in turn to remove that version. This means that one of the msi's will
return 1605 or the other 1638, i.e. one can't find the product, and the
other says "another version is installed".

I tested this quite extensively on one computer, where it worked. However
on another computer, where Adobe Reader has been uninstalled, it tries to
uninstall both 10.1.0 and 10.1.1, returns 1605 (treated as success) then
does not attempt to install 10.1.2. The file it is testing doesn't exist
on this computer.

Can anyone see why?

The package is:
