How to deploy Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4) with your K1000?

I was able to successfully push out with my K1000 Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4).  This is the script that used:

"$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe" with params "AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe /msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES /qn"

  • I'm always curious why people use a script to distribute software instead of a managed install. Can you elaborate on why you decided to use a script? - chucksteel 11 years ago
  • Are you talking about doing a managed install of an entire system like I would do in the K2000? - tsienkiewicz@ldirx.com 11 years ago
    • No, a managed install of a software title in the K1000. - chucksteel 11 years ago
      • Hi chuck,

        Could you point to where I can learn to do this?

        I am brand new to this site and KACE and have been tasked with updating every IT PC with Reader 11.0.4 by EOD!! - vmann 11 years ago
  • I have not tried it that way yet. We are new to the KACE products. We just purchased it about a month ago. I will try that to see if it works better that way. - tsienkiewicz@ldirx.com 11 years ago
  • I tried it with a Managed Install and it did not remove the previous version. - tsienkiewicz@ldirx.com 11 years ago
  • These are the parameters I normally used for Adobe Reader, it includes an option to remove the previous version.

    • Hi Timi,

      I am brand new to this site and KACE and have been tasked with updating every IT PC with Reader 11.0.4 by EOD!!

      If do don't mind me asking, where did you discover all those switches? - vmann 11 years ago
      • Just over time. You can also download Orca from Microsoft for free and it will allow you to open an MSI and discover the switches that are supported. You can get orca here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370557(v=vs.85).aspx

        You can also use some free utilities to convert an exe to MSI. MSI files in my opinion are a little easier to use. - Timi 11 years ago
      • I would also recommend attaining the license to distribute Reader from Adobe (it's free) and also checking their administrative guide:
