      This is what I did to extract the MSI from the exe.  Adobe does make it a pain to find this and they should just post the MSI.  Good luck.

        Well, I repeat my question of one year ago because it would be good to get to the bottom of this. Didn't Adobe send you a suitable link when you received your redistribution license? They are supposed to but there is some suspicion that they are not.

        Why? Downloading the msi seems easier.

        ‌Didn't Adibe send a link when they accepted you application for a distribution license? They sre supposed to but there is some suspicion this isn't happening.
