Uninstall a broken Adobe Acrobat or Reader installation by Martin Brinkmann on July 02, 2013 in Tutorials - 7 comments I recently had to fix a broken Adobe Reader installation on a Windows PC. The property can be used in tandem with REMOVEPREVIOUS when earlier versions of both Acrobat and Reader need to be removed as part of a new Acrobat install. Note: If the installed Reader is lower than DC product install (11.x or earlier), this option works for both setup.exe and.msi installs.

When you install or remove Adobe Acrobat, you receive a Windows error message stating suspended, incomplete or interrupted installation. The Acrobat installation fails, and the installer is unable to roll back the incomplete installation successfully.
Possible error messages include the following:
- 'Error 1704. An installation of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader is currently suspended.'
- 'Internal Error 2711. The specified feature name 'PatchExtras' not found in the feature table.'
- 'Error 1500. Another installation is already in progress. Complete that install before proceeding with this installation.'
A power outage, premature system shutdown, or system issue causes the Windows installer corruption. Cancelled installations roll back the installation actions and do not result in a suspended installation.
To solve the error, perform one of the following steps:
Note:
This procedure involves editing the Windows registry. Adobe doesn't provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. Make sure to back up the registry before editing it. For more information about the registry, see the Windows documentation or contact Microsoft.
Navigate to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInstaller and check if Inprogresskey exists.
Solution 2: Unregister and re-register the Windows Installer service.

How to deploy Acrobat Reader DC with SCCM using the application model. The installation will be unattended and silent as every good SCCM deployment should be. It also supersedes old versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader to make sure they get uninstalled before we install the new version.

Detection method
Adobe Acrobat Installation Rollback Tool
Use windows installer as detection method and read the product code and MSI version from AcroRead.msi. It is important to set the MSI version as detection method and not just the product code. If not you can't separate the different versions and you will have problems superseding old versions of Acrobat Reader.
Step 3 – Supersed old version of Acrobat Reader
When you supersede a previous version of Acrobat Reader, the superseded version will be uninstalled before the new version in installed. Uninstall of the old version of Adobe reader will only happen when the device or user is hit with the deployment of the application superseding the old one. Making an application superseded does not mean that it will be uninstalled, it needs a deployment of the actual application superseding it before it is uninstalled.
On your application (not deployment type), chose properties and supersedence. Add the different Adobe Reader versions you want this to supersede. Make sure you chose your new deployment type, which is the deployment type of the new Acrobat Reader DC that you just created. Also select 'Uninstall' to make sure it uninstalls the superseded version.

Deploy Acrobat Reader DC to any collection where you want to upgrade to this specified version. Again, no superseded version will be uninstalled on any computer unless you deploy the new package to them.

Important: The superseded versions need to have a working uninstall string, or uninstall of previous versions will fail. This is why you always test both install and uninstall when you create a new application in configuration manager.
