I updated my other win 7 machines also with no problems. When I clicked on “More” to make sure, it took me to an Adobe page that starts out with the descriptions of the updates for DC but scrolling down the page showed that there was an update for XI. I closed it out and opened reader XI and clicked on “Check for updates” and low and behold there was a newer version. The only reason that I knew there was an update was that I got a notification window from the latest version of Secunia PSI that Reader XI required a security update. I got my hopes up for that elusive 11.0.14 update. So I clicked it off, went back to scheduled tasks and disabled the updater once again. When I did I saw that it was the Adobe DC Reader update. Sure enough I got a message from the systray that there was an update for Adobe Reader XI and to click on the message for more info. I re-started the computer and went on to other things. You can still download updates from their Adobe Reader Downloads page…Īfter I read this I re-enabled the Adobe Reader Update Task in the Task Scheduler Tool of CCleaner tools to see what would happen. They instead prefer people to use their ridiculous download manager via a stupid installation stub.Īdobe is also decommissioning their distribution direct download page for Flash Player on Januprobably for the the same draconian reason… I guess Adobe doesn’t want users to have a direct download to the latest versions of their free readers. (Again, I don’t know if the patches are cumulative, so I install them in order…)Īpparently Adobe updated their FTP server policy, requiring a login to use their FTP servers too direct download their software so these links no longer work (as of December 8, 20015) without an authorized login. That being said, to install the latest Adobe Reader DC properly: (I don’t know if the patches are cumulative, so I installed them in order…)
I didn’t like Adobe Reader DC, so I uninstalled it and installed Adobe Reader 11.0.13 successfully in the following order (for EN-US): The latest release for “Adobe Reader DC is “2015.009.20079” Version 11.0.13 is the latest update to Adobe Reader 11.x, it is not the “DC” version (and it doesn’t come with all of the baggage of the “DC” version”.) See the release notes.
11.0.13 is the “DC” version, which I downloaded also but haven’t installed on any of my systems (I’m not interested in “cloud storage”).
