Acrobat Customization Wizard removing previous versions

New Here ,
Jun 02, 2011 Jun 02, 2011

I would like to configure the Acrobat install to remove all previous version of Acrobat and Reader unless Reader is the latest version. Reader X is already installed on most computers and I would like Reader to stay as the default. How does the installer decide what is the default?

According to the Wizard doc, you can remove all Acrobat and/or Reader versions, but not "all but. . . "

There are some properties that relate to default PDF viewer control described in the admin guide: http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobatitinfo

Thanks for your help. I actually dug a little further and found out that the option to remove Reader doesn't work if you have reader X installed anyway. So the result is what I was looking for.

I tried the property IW_Default_Verb=Read like the document said however that doesn't appear to work.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Yep, the VERB property is deprecated for 10.0.

REMOVE_PREVIOUS removes Acrobat.

REMOVE_PREVIOUS_READER removes Reader.

But I don't think you can leave the latest version using these methods.
