Deploy Adobe Acrobat Pro 2021

hey

i try to figure out how to install Adobe Acrobat Pro 2021 with PDQ Deploy
i guess i have to unstall the "vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi" first
then "AcroPro.msi" .. then the patch to "AcrobatDCUpd2100720099.msp"

OR

is it better to use the default "Setup.exe" ?

adobe kind of sucks for this but i need to install it on over 300clients

ifanyone has any idea or has the right commandline parameters please let me know

thanks

flo

    i dont have the creative cloud
    i found out the right command to install it

    its really the EXE file
    --mode=silent --ADOBEINSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC" --INSTALLLANGUAGE=en_US

    "--silent" is not working
    it really needs "--mode=silent"

    thank you

    Florian Schellhorn,

    This actually worked?

    Setup.exe --mode=silent --ADOBEINSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC" --INSTALLLANGUAGE=en_US

    I have tried it, but it bombs out on me.

    hey

     

    i use this:

    Setup.exe --mode=silent --ADOBEINSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC"

    if you dont call the install language it uses the system language as default .. as i have german and english clients ..

    it works pefekt!!

    hi

    you need to check "include entire directory"
    it needs to run stuff in that directory and cant find it if you dont copy the folder (Microsoft Redistributables)

    in the installfolder with the EXE file is a setup.ini .. download the last update and copy the file to the folder with the EXE .. edit the setup.ini -> serach for "PATCH=" and add the name of the patchfile to it "AcrobatDCUpd2200120085.msp"
    looks like this: PATCH=AcrobatDCUpd2200120085.msp
    then you can install adobe acrobat pro with the last patch
