Distributing 2019 Server 32 bit Acrobat Reader

[InfraDeployments]

Hello all, 

I am attempting to manually update our enterprises Adobe Acrobat Reader installation running on Windows Server 2019 as the 32bit version of Adobe Reader. 

The downloadable from the Enterprise website seems to be the 64 bit version. The download from Adobe directly does not provide the MSI. 

I need to use GPO to deploy this product as we do not have SCCM, and I would prefer to push a recent MSI as the installer rather than deploying automatic updates, or turning on/off the registry keys. 

I am familiar with the customizer, the process of extracting Adobe MSI files from the exe. However, I am unsure of how I can specifically obtain, use, and distribute my required version of Windows 2019 Server effectively to our environment. 

And help or guidance would be appreciated.

Hi @InfraDeployments,

Hope you are doing well. Thank you for writing in!

I suggest downloading the compatible version from here: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution.

Once downloaded, you can extract the installer to get the MSI file and then follow the steps of deployment using the  Customization Wizard and GPO.

Note: Select the language as MUI to get 64-bit and 32-bit installers options.

Hope this helps.
