Hi Harry, Just wondering if you have ever packaged the 64-bit Adobe Reader Installer? I have tried but for starters when run there didn't appear to be an msi temporarily created, instead if just goes online downloads and installs. So far I haven't been able get the 64 bit version packaged and because the 32-bit has randomly been upgraded on some machines Intune then errors due to the 32-bit path changing to the 64-bit path and trying to install it again. Thanks, Jim

[@josegonzalez3426]

Enjoyed your run through the topic very much. Super useful while exploring install options. I do have a Question - the parameters for the adobe installer extracting, namely sfx_o and sfx_ne. Are these and others documented somewhere - I could not find a reference off hand. Again, thanks for your efforts - subscribed.

[@Aryat]

Thanks, Harry for the follow-up, I used the previous video to deploy Adobe Acrobat reader and I had to Google search this part as it wasn't covered and it was a pain in the lower back. Your contents are brief, organized, and simple to follow.

[@HarryLowtonIT]

Thanks Rashid - I’m glad you managed to get it deployed.

@HarryLowtonIT Hi. I have reached the process of creating intune log file through cmd. After I have run the command in cmd, normal Adobe Acrobat Reader software is getting installed. In log file this is the error I'm getting: MSI (s) (20:48) [19:52:45:874]: Not registering product: {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AC0F074E4100} as provider for component: Plugins_SendMail_64BitMAPIWrapper.exe because the patch headers are not applicable to the RTM file of the product.

How can I get the 64-bit version? Adobe has a page with two buttons, one says Adobe Pro and the other says Adobe reader but the Adobe reader installation installs pro. Kinda stuck here. There's also a download link that will show a popup of downloading the installation files that I cannot get to work on my work pc due to a content block, but I can get the installation file from this video to run, unfortunately it's not a 64-bit installation though like I need.

Make sure you follow the exact same steps as Harry. `AcroRdrDC2100720099_en_US.exe -sfx_o"C:\Users\\Downloads\AcrobatReaderDC" -sfx_ne [NOTE: if you add a space between -sfx_o` and your file path it will prompt you to install. If you add a space you will NOT be able to get the same result as Harry. (at least from my testing)]

[@edhixon1733]

Thanks! This continuously updating Adobe Acrobat Reader install is working very well without error when deployed as a Required app to existing computers. Initially, it also worked fine with W10 and W11 autopilot deployments, but now the app installs hang up the autopiloting process on cleanly-built computers. It seems there's a conflict between this Win32 install working concurrently with standard MS Office365 Professional during Autopilot. I added a custom requirement for this Win32 Reader app: The registry value "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\O365ProPlusRetail - en-us\DisplayName" must exist before this Reader install starts. This works without fail -- autopilot doesn't hang on software installs anymore. But the delayed Reader install doesn't happen until after the user's first reboot. Is there a slicker, more refined option to delay a Win32 app install until after Office finishes installing and resolve this conflict? TIA, Ed

[@jurellt]

I followed the instructions from your previous video and this one, but I was working with Adobe Acrobat instead of Reader. Everything worked great, but when I opened Adobe Acrobat on the laptop that Adobe was pushed to, it asked me to sign in (which makes sense), but when I tried to sign in I received a message that said my operating system or browser is not up to date. Everything is up to date. I google it and came across an article on the Adobe website that told me that I needed to replace the AASlapp.exe file in Program Data with another AASlapp.exe file which they provided a download link for. That actually fixed the issue, but this makes deploying this way pointless if I have to do this for every laptop. Any thoughts?
