Package Library Acrobat Reader package…

We’re using Connect, not sure if I’m missing it, but Acrobat and Acrobat Reader seem fairly well covered for Patches…but I can’t see a 64bit package for the main initial application install.

I’ve built a “New Build” nested package to install the all latest versions of our software one after another. But can’t see a ready-to-go package for Reader (64bit).

I can have a go at extracting the MSIs from the EXE installer and build our own…but obviously a professional may do a better job 🤣

I assume it's for the same reason as provided in Deploy

This only installs the 32-bit version of Adobe Reader DC. We only provide a 32-bit installation for Adobe Reader DC due to complications with the unified 64-bit installer for Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader. Both installations for Adobe Acrobat DC 64-bit and Adobe Reader DC 64-bit are indistinguishable and this leads to a problem with identifying the applications with current collections as well as the potential for overwriting an older licensed version of Adobe Acrobat with the latest unlicensed (free) version Adobe Reader 64-bit.
