System Center Update Publisher (v4.5) is only able to deploy Updates made as a single file (EXE, MSI or MSP) and there are some known Issues with MSP Files, like the Adober Reader 9.3.1 Update… :-(
To make an update that is compatible with SCUP, I recommend to create a self extracting Executable with IExpress. You don’t know IExpress ?!? Just run IExpress.exe on your machine…
The following Screenshots show how to create an AdobeReader9.3.1 patch executable (you can download the Adobe patch binaries from: <ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/>)
Install Program:msiexec.exe /p AdbeRdrUpd931_all_incr.msp /q REBOOT=ReallySuppress
As a result, IExpress will create an Executable that can be deployed with SCUP:
Here you are; Now you can Sync with SCCM to deploy the AdoberReader9.3.1 Patch over SCCM Patch deployment…
The same procedure can be used if you want to have an update with more than one file (like MSI and a Transform File…)

Roger
