=====Notes=====


====Deploying Adobe Reader X patched to 10.1.4 with GPO====

// This also works for Adobe Reader 11.0.0 -> 11.0.01. //

  - Extract the contents of the AdobeReader 10.1.0 .exe packge to C:\Dump\10.1\ with [[http://www.7-zip.org|7-zip]]. \\
  - Create an administrative installation point (AIP) of Adobe Reader 10.1.0 at C:\Dump\Adobe\10.1.4\:<code>"%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\msiexec.exe" /a "c:\Dump\Adobe\10.1 NL\AcroRead.msi" TARGETDIR="c:\Dump\Adobe\10.1.4 NL" /qb!</code>
  - Update the AIP with the MSP for 10.1.4:<code>"%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\msiexec.exe" /a "c:\Dump\Adobe\10.1.4 NL\AcroRead.msi" /p "c:\Dump\Adobe\AdbeRdrUpd1014.msp" TARGETDIR="c:\Dump\Adobe\10.1.4 NL" /qb!</code>
  - Create a new MSI transform with the [[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950|Customization Wizard X]] or use an existing transform created for 10.1.0.
  - Add the AcroRead.msi with the transform to the Computer Configuration of a GPO as an assigned application.

====Registry settings====

To prevent the eula and advanced Adobe Reader features screens on first startup import:
<code>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AdobeViewer]
"EULA"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\Downtown]
"bDontShowAtLaunch"=dword:00000001
</code>
Same one but now for the Terminal Services software key:
<code>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Install\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AdobeViewer]
"EULA"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Install\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\Downtown]
"bDontShowAtLaunch"=dword:00000001

</code>

====Reader not automatically updating====

The Adobe Reader (DC) is not updating automatically when you want it to do so.

Make sure there is no bUpdater set to 0 at:
  * HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown
  * HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown

Make sure that iCheckReader DWORD is set to 3 at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM
