Acrobat 9.0 to Acrobat 9,4,1 In One Command

I talked about "slipstreaming" the Acrobat 9 updates to an administrative installation point. The downsides are now Adobe Acrobat wants to use the administration installation point as the source disc on repairs (possibly leading to needing to maintain multiple versions) and the admin install points are large (try ~940 MB versus 334 MB for install media).

Instead, I now use a single command: msiexec /i "\Acrobat 9 Standard\Acrostan.msi" /update "\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp;\AcrobatUpd911_all_incr.msp;\AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp;\AcrobatUpd913_all_incr.msp;\AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp;\AcrobatUpd930_all_incr.msp;\AcrobatUpd932_all_incr.msp;\AcrobatUpd933_all_incr.msp;\AcrobatUpd940_all_incr.msp;\AcrobatUpd941_all_incr.msp"

A few notes: this has in mind a professional environment in which software (and updates) is stored on an accessible file server (you can do this locally as well though); I had to use quotes because my paths had spaces (like "..\Adobe\Acrobat Updates\"; to find out which updates to use, I had to read Adobe documentation, starting with the newest update (9.4.1 requires 9.4.0, requires 9.3.3, etc); and I placed that command into a batch file saved to the server
