Hi Everyone,

Anyone know of any tricks to push out Acrobat Reader 7 to clients?

I pushed the App and prefs that I could find ou,t but when a normal
user logs in and launches it, it asks for an admin password to repair
its install.  Adobe doesn't give any details on what was installed.
Well, I just thought I probably could have checked the logs in OS
X....I'll do that next!

Anyone run into this and have a fix?   Running 10.3.7 clients, ARD
2.1, Acrobat 7.0


Acrobat Reader 7 modifies the Safari application bundle. That's
probably what it is crowing about.

Undoubtedly Josh's explanation is at the root of the problem, however it is more complicated than that. From what I've seen the it seems that if you install Reader 7.0 as local admin, even other local users get the dialog requesting an admin username/password to complete the installation the first time they open reader 7. Having just deployed Reader 7 to 50 machines I tried to backtrack by copying Reader 6 to that machines and deleting Reader 7 (all using ARD). Now when I start up Reader 6 on those machines, it is asking for an admin username/password. Yuck, this is a mess.
Ron.
