Hey Guys -
For the application Adobe Reader (X and XI), I've created custom source files/folders which have the updates slipstreamed into them plus include Transforms created with the Adobe Customization Wizard. Once made into Applications, they deploy / install as intended.
On some systems which have older versions of Reader installed, the users try to install the new versions which fail. I've found that uninstalling their old version then trying to install from App Catalog works fine therefore I'm trying to add a function in each Adobe Reader Application (X & XI) to uninstall first using "msiexec /x {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AA1000000001} for X and another GUID for XI.
I planned on adding a new deployment type and making it a pre-requisite - but - how do I configure a Detection Method for an uninstall? All of this would be super easy in a Task Sequence or Program, but not in a an Application. I tried creating a batch file which uninstalled then made a new empty directory in a hidden area to set as detection method but failed.
Any Suggestions? Thanks!
