‌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.

hi, checked it before but too bad it is only relevant for the older versions... 😞

The link you provide here (and in many other threads on the same topic) is to a post that is seven years old and wildly out of date. Can you please provide current, accurate documentation on how to extract the .msi?

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.

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.
