Acrobat Reader - disable check update

[wamatt]

Can this be turned off?

Add these registry keys:

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\FeatureLockdown\bUpdater=0"
 	 "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater\iUpdateFrequency=0"
 	 "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater\bShowNotifDialog=0"
 	 "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater\bShowAutoUpdateConfDialog=0"

I use them in a transform I created along with other options, grab it from this thread that you already read (seeing as how you posted a reply in it.):

Thanks thats EXACTLY what I wanted.

Actually wanted a reg file. I converted this.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\FeatureLockdown]

"bUpdater"="0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater]

"iUpdateFrequency"="0"

"bShowNotifDialog"="0"

"bShowAutoUpdateConfDialog"="0"

Which makes strings and not DWORDS, which should be correct right?

Here ya go.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater]
"bShowAutoUpdateConfDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\FeatureLockdown]
"bUpdater"=dword:00000000

Or grab the .reg file:

Adobe6UpdatesOff.reg

Man i don't know why you guys are getting so much deep into registries when there is a simple solution available?

couple of months i too was facing the same problem where updater was triggering without notice and hogging bandwidth and i found the simple solution in above site which worked for me...

Maybe you didn't realize but this is a forum for "Unattended" application installs. Meaning people doesn't want their users to follow that instructions. They just want that nagging updater to be closed automatically right after the installation.

Which version ?

Somes regs tweaks above are for old v6.x, v7.x or v8.x version.

For v9.x, you can delete the update plugin: Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins\Updater.*
