pretentious name - Fixes for 64-bit Adobe Reader preview handler and thumbnails

This also works for Adobe Reader 11.0.0 → 11.0.01.

1. Extract the contents of the AdobeReader 10.1.0 .exe packge to C:\Dump\10.1\ with 7-zip.
   
2. Create an administrative installation point (AIP) of Adobe Reader 10.1.0 at C:\Dump\Adobe\10.1.4\:

   "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\msiexec.exe" /a "c:\Dump\Adobe\10.1 NL\AcroRead.msi" TARGETDIR="c:\Dump\Adobe\10.1.4 NL" /qb!

3. Update the AIP with the MSP for 10.1.4:

   "%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!

4. Create a new MSI transform with the Customization Wizard X or use an existing transform created for 10.1.0.
5. Add the AcroRead.msi with the transform to the Computer Configuration of a GPO as an assigned application.

To prevent the eula and advanced Adobe Reader features screens on first startup import:

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

Same one but now for the Terminal Services software key:

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

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
