Adobe Reader Install

derek

Does anyone have a working powershell script to download and install adobe reader, I had one that has worked for months but it no longer works.

Why not just use the Chocolatey install ?

@derek Go to the PC that you need Adobe installed and go to Manage and then Software Installation.

Then Search for Adobe and select Acrobat Reader DC

Then input your parameters for installation (the ones at the end of the post will install, place a shortcut on the desktop, and set it to auto-update.)

choco install adobereader -params '"/DesktopIcon /EnableUpdateService /UpdateMode:4

Thanks for the write up, this was what I was suggesting.

Why reinvent the wheel if it's so easy to push from the console.

Does Chocolatey have to be installed on the target machine in order for this to work ?

Nope, not sure exactly how it works though. I think it uses the equivalent of a "portable" copy of Chocolatey.
