Adobe Acrobat Reader DC MUI MSI

Hi,

due to the End of Life of Adobe Reader XI which will be reached on 10/15/2017 I need to prepare a deployment/upgrade model for Reader DC(Multilingual User Interface).

My problem is that I cannot find a MUI MSI package of Reader DC, I searched through the Adobe FTP server, but all I could find are MSIs for singe languages(example: de-DE, en-US) or the MUI .EXE installer.

Does anyone know if there is a MUI MSI for Reader DC and where I can find it?

Alternatively, how to extract the MSI from the EXE installer?

Installing a base version such as “en-US” and then adding Interface languages to it?

Any input would be appreciated.

Current Reader XI deployment model:

- Base MSI from Adobe FTP: AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std.zip

- Slipstreaming latest MSP file into base MSI

- Deployment of the MSI via GPO

    There is no full installer for most versions, only the baseline. So you need to deploy first the baseline, then the single latest MSP.  The Adobe toolkit is the documentation you need to read.

    There is a forum devoted to enterprise deployment: https://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/acrobat_enterprise_install

    There is an enterprise toolkit:

    There is info on expanding EXE packages:

    If this is all new to you, I should probably also make sure you know that if you plan to install or preload Acrobat Reader on behalf of other staff you need a Redistribution License, since this is otherwise a breach of EULA terms. Volume distribution | Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

    This link is not valid anymore I don't understand why there is such a hassle to get the MUI installer even when you have the agreement.

    Is there an updated link or could Adobe stop being so don't care about the customer and present the information correctly instead of a wild goose chase around the forums and in the downloads section ?

    Thanks

      Hi Goran,

      Here is the link ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/ where you can download the MUI installers.

      Also, I am getting this link mentioned in Adobe Toolkit in my previous response corrected. Thank you for point it out and sorry for the inconvenience.
