How can I deploy Adobe Reader 64-bit (Continuous) with MSP updates offline in an enterprise environm
Hello everyone,
I’m currently managing Adobe Acrobat Reader updates in a corporate environment, and I would like to get advice on the correct method to deploy and update the 64-bit Reader (Continuous track) using MSI + MSP files, without letting each PC download updates from Adobe’s servers.
What I want to achieve
Prevent Adobe Reader from checking online updates individually (it causes network congestion in our company).
Instead, I want to deploy only the necessary update files (MSP) from a local server or software distribution tool (e.g. SCCM, Intune, SKYSEA, etc.).
In other words, offline patching/distribution using MSI + MSP, not using the built-in auto-update function.
What I already tried
I downloaded the latest Reader update file:
AcroRdrDCx64Upd2500120756_MUI.msp (Continuous track, 64-bit, MUI).However, when I double-click or run it via msiexec on the current PCs, the patch fails with an error like:
“This update could not be applied. No qualifying product is installed or the update is for a different version.”I extracted the EXE installer using 7-Zip, but the contents include:
AcroPro.msi
AcroPro.mst
AcroRdrDCx64Upd2500120756_MUI.msp
setup.ini, setup.exe, cab files…My confusion / questions
Where can I get the official MSI installer for Adobe Acrobat Reader 64-bit (Continuous track)?
Is there a correct way to deploy Reader 64-bit via MSI and then apply MSP patches offline?
(e.g. msiexec /i AcroRdrDCx64_MUI.msi → msiexec /update AcroRdrDCx64Updxxxx.msp)Does Adobe officially provide MSI installers for Reader Continuous 64-bit?
Or do we need to extract them manually from the EXE?
Environment
Target version: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 64-bit (Continuous) – currently 25.001.20756
OS: Windows 11 64-bit, domain environment
Deployment method planned: Group Policy / SKYSEA / offline distribution
