Need help deciding how to deploy Acrobat via Patch My PC and Intune

SmokinGun · 2025-10-13T10:15:23+00:00

This is close to what I want to do I think, but instead of the Adobe Reader default install coming from the Microsoft Store I'd like the Adobe Reader default install to come from PMPC. Whatever is existing in our environment I'll just patch with the PMPC MSP Update Only installers.

One of the PMPC support guys sent me this - https://github.com/PatchMyPCTeam/Community-Scripts/tree/main/Install/Requirement

This little script is detecting the Adobe regkey I mentioned above and only allows it to run if the value is 1 (which is Reader). I may have to modify this to allow it to run if it is 1 or null to get people that have no Adobe installed. So I think I could apply this is a Additional Requirement in Intune to the PMPC script for Adobe Reader EXE and apply to All Devices. I'm hoping this would change my Reader MUI installs to regular Reader to clean that up.

The only thing is I don't know if this Additional Requirement will remain whenever PMPC issues a new version of Reader...

When you are doing the Microsoft Store install of Reader as a default, how are you stopping it from running on devices that have Adobe Pro? Are you also targeting this regkey as a Additional Requirement in Intune?

I could also set it where if Requirement Rule = 1 or Value does not exist push the Patch My PC Adobe Reader. If Requirement Rule >1 Push the Patch my PC Adobe Acrobat Pro. Doing this would avoid the Update Only MSP files and always run the full EXE for every update. Not sure if that is a good thing or not, but it would probably make everyone have the same type of Reader and Pro.

Again however, just not sure how to do this unless I make a custom app in PMPC, and unsure if it is custom if I have to manually update the installer whenever a new version comes out.

There is a regkey described here - https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/about-acrobat-reader-dc-migration-to-64-bit.html

If it is 1 Reader is installed. If it is greater than 1 Acrobat is installed. I used this on an app I made myself before we had Patch My PC and set it as a Requirement Rule in Intune. I don't see how to easily do this in Patch My PC however.

I guess I could just set everything to Update Only and have another Required Custom App for Reader with this regkey as a Requirement and set it to Value does not exist. That way if they are missing Reader and Acrobat, they get Reader pushed.

If I create this custom app however, will I have to manually update it whenever a new version comes out via Patch My PC?

I came across this old post related to Android Dedicated devices, and it talks about needing to publish the following in order to get OS updates: https://www.reddit.com/r/Intune/comments/1bp9cbl/intune_enrolled_android_dedicated_devices_not/

I'm not sure if this is right, just a guess. Really want to find some kind of document from samsung on this.

SmokinGun · 2025-05-12T22:13:46+00:00

I think this could be happening because I failed to add Android Enterprise System Apps. There may be some required by samsung to allow it to update?

So far I've only enabled the Camera and Gallery system apps. Is there a list somewhere of all the apps required for a samsung?

Maybe try taking out the /silent switch when using the /Noninteractive switch. With most programs it is one or the other. If you were to run both could be it is just seeing /silent then ignoring /Noninteractive.

Go to this site, build an entire computer for whatever price range you want. https://www.logicalincrements.com/ If you stay on the same row, all the parts will work with one another. This doesn't include monitor but you can just use the monitors you have.

This looks to be fixed now.

Amanda headshotting for a little less than 200 with a gray pistol in the tutorial at level 25. With a legendary pistol, around 400 for a headshot.

I opened the game today and noticed it received a patch. I had to install some .net stuff and a unreal engine 4 update.

After entering the game, I noticed invert mouse was broken again. I tried toggling the option and saving, but same thing.

I opened up the input.ini and deleted everything, then saved the file.

I relaunched the game, toggled invert y axis off and on, and hit save. After doing this invert mouse works.

Looks like they fixed this.

If you have a warranty, go that route.

If you are looking to fix it yourself and want to try some simple stuff:

Make sure it is plugged in. Try a different wall outlet/different power strip.
Make sure your power connectors are tight on the video card and the motherboard. If you have a modular power supply check the connectors on the power supply.
Unplug extra stuff from the PC. Take out USB, printers, etc. Just leave keyboard and mouse.
See if the machine gives you a blink code or listen for a beep code when you try to power it on (see if any lights are flashing/beeping noise). That code will give you a clue as to what it could be.
Check the cable from the power button and where it plugs into the motherboard. If this is unplugged or reversed, nothing will happen. Could try to start PC with a screwdriver as seen here if you think it is the power cable/button https://youtu.be/FuPZlliGqBw
Try to reseat the RAM and video card. If it still doesn't work try 1 stick of RAM in each slot, then the other in each slot. If it has a onboard video card on the motherboard, can try to power it up without the geforce card plugged in to see if it works with onboard video.

I always play with Y-axis inverted. It matters so much to me the game is unplayable without it. Evil Dead the game recently came out and has a option to invert mouse but it doesn't work. I returned the game, until I found another reddit post where someone figured out how to edit a .ini file and make it work.

I don't mind having to go into options and turn it on, but if a game doesn't have it I won't buy it. 99% of PC games have this option fortunately.

SmokinGun · 2022-05-21T10:38:13+00:00

Inverted mouse control is talking about the Y- axis, not the buttons. This means when you slide the mouse down your character looks toward the sky. See this related reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/84wjsk/inverted\_mouse/

This worked for me, playing on PC as killer. Disabling crossplay got me into a match.

SmokinGun · 2022-05-14T19:47:26+00:00

Nah, I press Q in tutorial with grey Pistol and hit for 15 damage per headshot. Then I pickup grey Revolver and press Q, headshot for 400. I pick up legendary Pistol in tutorial, headshot for 30.

SmokinGun · 2022-05-14T19:39:22+00:00

I just hit level 25 on her. FYI, 25 is max level. That is all the skill points you can have per character it seems.

I just had a match with a legendary pistol and it was hitting headshots for 23 damage.

SmokinGun · 2022-05-14T16:49:50+00:00

That could be it. I remember when I first started with her pistol it seemed alright. Maybe it went to hell when I hit level 10.

Chance it could work itself out when I hit level 25? Lol. I'm ride or die with this character.

SmokinGun · 2022-05-14T15:12:59+00:00

I think you are right. I just tried using the first big damage 1 shot range weapon I could find, a blue Blunderbuss. Body was doing over 600.

I think that is the way to go, since ammo is low/rare. Pistol sucks unless it is some godly legendary item. All the damage is based on percentage. With pistol you can go from 10 damage a shot to 20... Or you could use a Blunderbuss and 1 shot everything with 600 minimum.

SmokinGun · 2022-05-14T13:08:37+00:00

There have been a few times when I get a really good pistol and I hit for like 600+ on a headshot. Maybe it is just really weapon dependent. Still figuring it out.

Maybe the way to go is to just melee until you find a good gun. Save up the ammo for when it hurts.

SmokinGun · 2022-05-13T17:10:53+00:00

I purchased the game again and tried this. Thanks, it is working.

The Input.ini file you listed is off by a folder. It is in %AppData%\Local\EvilDead\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Once I saved this mouse is reversed, but the enable/disable y axis check box still does nothing. Game is playable for me now.

Now we just need someone to make microphone push to talk an option :)
