To apply the MSP patch file to an Adobe 9.1 MSI installer, try this:
- Download Adobe 9.1 MSI from here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.1/enu/
- Download the latest 9.1 MSP patch file from here (currently 9.1.3): ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.1.3/misc/
- Put these files in the same directory.
- Open up a command prompt, then navigate to that directory.
- Run the following command:
msiexec /p AdbeRdrUpd913_all_incr.msp /a AdbeRdr910_en_US.msi /qb
This will apply the 9.1.3 patch directly to the 9.1 MSI file, ready for deployment. You can now deploy Adobe Reader 9.1 safe in the knowledge that it’s already patched to 9.1.3

Now I just need to do something with the MSP files you can get from the other directories!
UPDATE: I’ve documented what to do with the MSP files

I’m currently playing with Connection Manager Administration Kit for Server 2008.
Why? Because with the advent of Windows 7 (and Vista, to a certain extent), it’s a complete pain in the butt to programme a tool like AutoIT to script and automate the configuration of a VPN connection for our end users. The key issue, is that Microsoft don’t seem to provide any “command line” shortcuts through things like DLLs or Shell extensions to quickly bring up the “Set up a new connection or network” wizard. Sad face.
