Deployment Method:

📝 NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)

2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade adobereader -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2019.012.20040'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade adobereader -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2019.012.20040'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

See infrastructure management matrix for Chocolatey configuration elements and examples.

This package was approved as a trusted package on 22 Aug 2019.

Description

This package installs/upgrades the Multi-lingual ("MUI") release. In some cases, this package will be able to install over the top of a language-specific installation. Otherwise, this package will exit and require a manual uninstall of the language specific installation.

Note

If the package fails on Windows 8.1 or earlier, this might be due to the installation of kb2919355 (which is a dependency of this package) if your system is not up-to-date. This KB requires a reboot of the system before the adobereader package installs successfully.

Package installation defaults

By default, installation of this package:

  • Will NOT install a desktop icon.
  • Will NOT install the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager ("ARM") service.
  • Will configure Reader to only check for updates manually with confirmation for install.

However, upgrades to Adobe Reader via this package:

  • Will NOT remove an existing desktop icon or add one when there isn't.
  • Will NOT install the AdobeARM service.
  • Will NOT remove the AdobeARM service (though it will disable it unless enabled by parameters).
  • Will NOT re-enable updates (if disabled via package parameter)

Package Parameters

  • /DesktopIcon - The Desktop icon will be installed to the common desktop. (Install only.)
  • /NoUpdates - No updates via internal mechanisms (including manual checks). Only downloading from Adobe and running installers or updates (or updating this package) will advance the version of Reader. Once set, only uninstalling this package will remove this update block.
  • /EnableUpdateService - Install the AdobeARM service. (Does not override /NoUpdates.)
  • /UpdateMode:# - Sets the update mode (below). (Does not override /NoUpdates.)

Update Modes

  • 0 - Manually check for and install updates. (Default and reset on every update)
  • 1 - Same as 0.
  • 2 - Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them. (Appears to be no different than 0.)
  • 3 - Install updates automatically (via task scheduler or ARM service if enabled).
  • 4 - Notify me, but let me choose when to download and install updates.

These parameters can be passed to the installer with the use of -params.
For example :
choco install adobereader -params '"/DesktopIcon /UpdateMode:4"'

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
