Adobe Reader identified as Adobe Acrobat (64-bit)

Good morning,

I use the store version to deploy Adobe Reader and I noticed that one of the versions renamed it Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) (in installed software)
and prevents other updates from installing in turn
Following that, I updated to the latest version of the store, manually uninstalled it on a computer, reinstalled the new version, and it is now called Adobe Acrobat Reader - French

How can I automatically remediate the issue on the other machines? The forced installation doesn't seem to work; all my machines are showing errors

Installation Adobe Reader DC
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\wapt\common.py", line 4258, in install_wapt
raise EWaptException('The uninstall key: %s has not been found in system registry after software installation.' % (' '.join(key_errors),))
waptpackage.EWaptException: The uninstall key: {AC76BA86-7AD7-1036-7B44-AC0F074E4100} has not been found in system registry after software installation.

EWaptException: The uninstall key: {AC76BA86-7AD7-1036-7B44-AC0F074E4100} has not been found in system registry after software installation.
Thank you

Hello,

this is strange. We deploy Adobe Reader internally without any issues.

The version offered on the Store for x64 Windows 10 is indeed a x64 version (MUI).

Are you using the Store version? Is Wapt up to date?

Hello, I solved a problem with a fix packet containing,

Code: Select all

def install():
    if uninstall_key_exists('{AC76BA86-1033-FF00-7760-BC15014EA700}'):
        run(WAPT.uninstall_cmd('{AC76BA86-1033-FF00-7760-BC15014EA700}'))
He uninstalls the problematic version, and the update restores the correct version
