Deployment Adobe Reader 23.0.

Hi,

To deploy adobe acrobat reader, we can refer to the step-by-step guide:

https://www.prajwaldesai.com/deploy-adobe-acrobat-reader-using-sccm/

For the detection method, we can refer to the method mentioned below:

Matt Nicholson says:

It’s worth noting that when installing Adobe Acrobat DC, the standard detection method of using the MSI ID doesn’t work because Adobe have used the same MSI ID for every version of Adobe DC since at least 2015. I’ve managed to get it working using the MSI ID and the specific version number:

Setting Type: File System
Type: File
Path: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat
File of folder name: Acrobat.exe

• The file system setting must satisfy the following rule to indicate the presence of this application
Property: Version
Operator: Greater than or equal to
Value: 22.1.20117.0

Note: You must ensure any older versions of Adobe DC are set to use the “Equals” operator, otherwise SCCM will not be able to tell the difference between the new and old versions and will repeatedly uninstall your application.

I’ve twinned this with another detection method (using the Or connector) looking for a specific registry entry. Possibly redundant, but I wanted to nail it down tight after having a lot of trouble with this deployment:

Setting Type: Registry
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{AC76BA86-1033-FFFF-7760-0C0F074E4100}
Value: DisplayVersion
Data Type: String

• This registry setting setting must satisfy the following rule to indicate the presence of this application
Operator: Equals
Value: 22.001.20117

Hope that’s of use.

Regards,

Alex

Hello,

I did this deployment with the same detection method as in the article of Matt Nicholson.

My issue is that in the Configuration Manager Console the deployment remains "In Progress"... why?

Where to look for information about the completion not done?

Thanks,

How to deploy Adobe Reader DC with Microsoft Configuration Manager?

Create an application, set the install/uninstall command, as well as parameter, configure the detection method.

[Solution]

1, download an offline install and use 7-zip to extract the download file to get the actual installation files

2, create an application with the install/uninstall program

3, setup the detection method using windows installer
