Acrobat use count using SCCM 2012

Question

I'm trying to use SCCM 2012 to discover all the systems running Adobe Acrobat, and their version number. I'm using the built in report, Computers with a Specific Product. Among the systems returned I get about 60 machines running Acrobat version 1.0.0.1 or 1.1.0.1. Considering Acrobat 1.0 came out in 93 and was DOS based, this is clearly not correct. Any ideas on what these 60 machines are referring to?

This is more of a Microsoft SCCM Report on collections and would be best pointed in that direction but I will try to be helpful and point you to some resources that already created SCCM Report Querys that you might be able to modify.

Now that being said, SCCM generally uses Windows Registry Entries to indicate which flavor and version of Acrobat is installed. This becomes problematic with Acrobat DC because this information is now in the SWIDTag files instead. See the ETK on Identifying Existing Installs — Enterprise Administration Guide for how to identify Acrobat DC installations.
