I've been letting the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC automatically download the
latest version by default.
I had no issues until during this week. I didn't notice the icon until I
started maintenance, looking for updates.
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC apparently by my log, been trying to download the
latest version.
But it was never finished updating. I can also see it on protection logs
and system logs that it tried to do so.
The Adobe Acrobat Reader DC never had option to download it and install
over it with newer one.
But this has not happened hence the icon is missing and the folder of Adobe
Acrobat Reader DC is missing
the apps and only has gotten the latest registry and some update
definitions.
What I did was go to Adobe site and started to download the Adobe Acrobat
Reader DC and start the
installation manually and newer install over it. Programs and Feature,
tried Change to reinstall or repair,
but always claims that there nothing wrong with it. Went to folder Acrobat
folder and changed
the Security member of folder Acrobat Reader DC to me with full right,
deleted the folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\
- Alter Security member by right clicking Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
Started registry and delete Acrobat Reader DC registry, went back to Adobe
site, and downloaded the Acrobat Reader DC.
Start the installation and finished. Tested it by starting Acrobat Reader
DC, starts and works.
- Controlled the Security member of folder Acrobat Reader DC. It had the
correct Security members, didn't alter it.
I think Adobe should include testing protocol on the installation package,
if the installed program works both in the beginning
and at the end, so users don't have to go through these when it falsely
claims it had the latest version that it does not
need install over / re-installation / or just make it optional to install
over to fix the issues from users endpoint, if installation package
does not want to install over to fix users application.
Anyhow, I hope people will find this discussion board useful, and resolve
your issue with your application.
