Acrobat DC Install via Intune

BlackSheep_13and everyone.

1. Download the acrobat exe.
2. Use 7zip to extract all files from the exe and copy and paste in a folder
3. download and install the adobe acrobat customization wizard, choose your options,  and create a mst file.
4. create an intunewin file using setup.exe as the install file
5. build a win32 app in intune:
   1. App information - fill out and add the icon
   2. Program:
      1. install setup.exe /sAll
      2. figure out the uninstall later
   3. detection method:
      1. file - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\
      2. look for acrobat.exe

I typically deploy this as an available app to the adobe pro users security group.  that same group is excluded from reader.  (It is well over a gig and I don't want it delaying autopilot. ) 

Interesting issue I found yesterday was that if I make windows store adobe reader a required uninstall, it was removing this app.  Probably how I found this thread. 

lrivar Hi I'm very much interested in how to get this done, I've actually given it a go, packaged and uploaded but it's deploying successfully. 😞 

lrivar 

Can you please forward me the working solution for Adobe Acrobat DC deployment with Endpoint Manager/Intune.

I have tried with my solution and it works on some machines and others I get this error after installation fails:

ArchAngel66 i am in the same boat you are.  this means you're using the acropro.msi. did you overcome this yet?  if so, how?  did you also get the RUM folder installed via this method as well?  i had the RUM folder included in my package but not sure how to get it to the target machine (the OOBE_Enterprise folder doesn't get created on target machine).  i didn't see it in any options in the customization wizard.  any feedback would be helpful.

lrivar  Hi Irivar

Thanks for the updates so far - I Have been wasting 2 days trying to implement deployment through Intune.  I

Could you please post the commands you used win32 app?

Kind Regards,

Jaco

1. I created my Adobe package in the Adobe Admin Console

2. Packaged Adobe as a Win32 App

• How to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-win32-prepare 
  •  https://github.com/Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool 
• For Adobe, the Build folder is the "source folder"

3. Uploaded Adobe into Endpoint Manager, utilized the Product Code for detection method

4. During deployment, workstations were reporting the same error as Config Manager "Monitored process is running but may timeout" and after restarting, the computers reported compliance

Let me know if you have any further questions or issues about the process.

Hello ArchAngel66 

I would create a Win32 app and add VC++ as an dependency. That way you make sure that VC++ is installed before it attempts to install Adobe DC.

lrivar I am having the same issue with deploying Acrobat DC Pro.  I downloaded the MSI file and deployed it as LOB.  The error I am getting is VC#+ needs to be installed first before the installation will continue.  If you have a solution please let me know.  I have been searching the Internet for a solution.  This is not rocket science. :).

Yes please!!  Would love to know how you did it.

RhysPaterson I have a working Adobe Acrobat DC deployment with Endpoint Manager/Intune, let me know if you are still interested in a solution
