    Disable auto update in adobe reader 8.0

    in Software Hangout

    Posted

    hey BrainG looks like i found something for you on Adobe forum....... for me it's not a solution for a company but maybe for a user @ home could be good.

    here is the post i saw:

    eric003 - 7:00pm Aug 8, 07 PST (#10 of 10)

    Changing this (either by directly editing the file or by setting the preference in the Adobe Updater) does not work. The Adobe Updater is persistent.

    I know because ZoneAlarm caught the Updater today sneaking to access the internet simply because I accessed a PDF file. AutoCheck was indeed disabled over a week ago.

    My workaround:

    Go to Program Files->Adobe->Reader 8.0->Reader

    Rename the following files:

    AdobeUpdateCheck.exe -> AdobeUpdateCheck.exe.foo

    AdobeUpdater.dll -> AdobeUpdater.dll.foo

    Disable auto update in adobe reader 8.0

    i know i can use the help button in adobe but i don't want to do this cause i'm using this to deploy software to 800 Computers and i don't want user to touch anything so like this i'm sure there is no autoupdate by default when landesk is upgrading automaticly the software.

    and at each session i'm checking and pushing if the file is not corectly set in the userprofile folder/..../.......

    When explorer is invoking the reader i didn't see this for the momment i have to try.

    Please check with filemon and regmon what is called and what is SET or WRITE.

    See you

    UPDATE POST / UPDATE POST => I just check the File in question at the end of the file you have a line for APPLICATIONS ENABLED

    try to edit it like this :

    <ApplicationsEnabled>

    <MapPrefEntry MapPrefKey="reader8rdr-en_US">0</MapPrefEntry>

    </ApplicationsEnabled>

    </AdobeUpdater>

    Change the value for you reader in questiojn here reader 8 set to "0" to disable it.

    keep me in touch

    Thx by advance

    HI ALL

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Found my solution !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    so in fact with filemon i saw something.

    When you deactivate autoupdate adobe is changing a file call : Adobeupdaterprefs.dat.

    which is located in %userprofile%\Local settings\Application Data\Adobe\updater5.

    Then you have to change variables in file like this :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <AdobeUpdater>
    <logFile[b]>[u]%userprofile%[/u][/b]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Updater5\aum.log</logFile>
    <logLevel>2</logLevel>
    <DisplayLang></DisplayLang>
    <SilentCheck>0</SilentCheck>
    <ConnectionType>0</ConnectionType>
    <Launch></Launch>
    <IsFirstRun>0</IsFirstRun>
    <InTrayIcon>0</InTrayIcon>
    <LastDateCheck>2007-08-07</LastDateCheck>
    <InBackground>0</InBackground>
    <DownloadDir[u]>[b]%userprofile%[/b][/u]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Updater5\Install</DownloadDir>
    <ShowNewProducts>0</ShowNewProducts>
    <AutoCheck>0</AutoCheck>
    <AutoCheckType>0</AutoCheckType>
    <AutoCheckFreq>1</AutoCheckFreq>
    <ApplicationsEnabled>
    <MapPrefEntry MapPrefKey="reader8rdr-en_US">0</MapPrefEntry>
    </ApplicationsEnabled>
    </AdobeUpdater>

    Edit script like this, in fact i change what i put in Big caracter with line (=> %userprofile%) to allow deploying on multiple computers.

    create a script to deploy your modify file to other computer and you are done .

    hi geezery,

    Thanks for your tip, looks like a good solution but if i'm right i can't use it because i'm using landesk, and to deploy update i'm using the security and patch manager which don't allow me to customize the package....

    i know it's a little bite strange but i have to use the standard package provide by landesk, and all opérations to customize have to be done after setup...... :wacko:

    i find with filemon and regmon that when i'm running the preference tool for adobe update, the software is righting directly in the user local setings/application data/adobe/updater5in different files.

    I will try to customize this.

    in parralel work i'll try to customize the package if it's possible as you told me.

    thanks for your answer.

    Hi all :hello:

    I would like to know if someone can help me to choose a good & free mail server, which doesn't need to be in a domain, only in workgroup to install it (like exchange which need to be in a domain).

    for information i'm using a Windows 2003 Server in Workgroup, no domain installed it's a standalone machine, i don't need a domain, this server is not for a company it's for test for myself that's why it's in WORKGROUP

    So if someone have an idea ... please let me know
