Example Script - Disable Updater in Acrobat Reader/Writer 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, and 8.x.

ToddMurray · November 13, 2007

Here are some scripts I wrote for the handling of Adobe Acrobat products. The attached scripts are designed to disable the Acrobat Updater in Reader and Writer versions 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, and 8.x. In versions 5-7 it removes any user specific keys relating to the Updater, EULA, or Registration for installed products. It then accepts the EULA and disables the Updater and Registration at the machine level. For Acrobat 8 it does the same steps except that it posts a new AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat into all User profiles and the Default Users profile.

This is intended for use by people in a corporate environment who want to disable user prompts without disabling functionality.

I added some code to fix registration on Acrobat Writer 5 and 6. I also made it so it would set .pdf to associate to the latest version of Reader installed.

Hi, thanks for your FileCopyAllUsers UDF! I use it for updating Quicklaunch shortcuts in every users' profile.

It needs some updating though for Vista and Windows7, where the AllUsersprofile is apparently in C:\Programdata instead of together with other users's profile ...

Somebody has perhaps already done this update?

Zeeshan · May 26, 2009
