Where can I find AcrobatReaderDC_23.003.20201.msi?

Hello,

I have installed Version 25.001.21288 an trying to update to 26.001.21529 using WinGet.

WinGet downloads AcroRdrDCx642600121529_MUI.exe and this prompts me to provide AcrobatReaderDC_23.003.20201.msi which I currently can’t find.

Where can I download that file to complete the installation?

 

C:\>winget list Adobe.Acrobat.Reader.64-bit

    Today winget update showed that  to 26.002.21996 is available.

    I tried to update from Version 26.002.21931 but it failed with the same Popup and searching the same MSI file.

    After proceeding with the same steps, I asked AI which asked me to check if further Versions are installed:

    C:\>winget list Adobe
    Name                   ID                                                         Version      Quelle
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Adobe Acrobat Reader   MSIX\AdobeAcrobatReaderCoreApp_26.0.0.1_x64__pc75e8sa7ep4e 26.0.0.1
    Adobe Acrobat Reader   MSIX\AdobeAcrobatReaderCoreApp_26.0.0.1_x64__33qsgwvbcw8mw 26.0.0.1

    Then AI asked me to delete the old Versions using Administrative PowerShell:

    Windows PowerShell
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    PS C:\> Remove-AppxPackage -Package "AdobeAcrobatReaderCoreApp_26.0.0.1_x64__pc75e8sa7ep4e" -AllUsers
    PS C:\> Remove-AppxPackage -Package "AdobeAcrobatReaderCoreApp_26.0.0.1_x64__33qsgwvbcw8mw" -AllUsers
    PS C:\>

     

    Now only the latest Version is shown as installed:

    C:\>winget list Adobe
    Name                   ID                          Version      Quelle
