package name changes

[conitrade-as]

It seems that Adobe decided (besides other things) to change the installed package name. It is now displayed as Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) on a 64 bit machine.

As people pointed out, this could be problematic in some situations.

Unrelated bit still good to know: Another thing we noticed is that the ProgId for file type associations changed from AcroExch.Document.DC to Acrobat.Document.DC.

This might be related: An upgrade of the package changes the name, but stays at the same version.

After initial installation (choco install adobereader --version=2023.001.20093 -y):

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, InstallDate | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -And $_.DisplayName.StartsWith("Adobe") } | Format-Table -AutoSize

DisplayName              DisplayVersion InstallDate
-----------              -------------- -----------
Adobe Acrobat Reader MUI 23.001.20093   20230417

After upgrade (choco upgrade adobereader -y):

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, InstallDate | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -And $_.DisplayName.StartsWith("Adobe") } | Format-Table -AutoSize

DisplayName            DisplayVersion InstallDate
-----------            -------------- -----------
Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) 23.001.20093   20230417

And a fresh installation (choco install adobereader -y) yields directly this outdated version:

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, InstallDate | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -And $_.DisplayName.StartsWith("Adobe") } | Format-Table -AutoSize

DisplayName            DisplayVersion InstallDate
-----------            -------------- -----------
Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) 23.001.20093   20230417

But of course choco says this:

choco list -lo
adobereader 2023.001.20143

Doing a manual upgrade from within the application itself yields this:

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, InstallDate | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -And $_.DisplayName.StartsWith("Adobe") } | Format-Table -AutoSize

DisplayName            DisplayVersion InstallDate
-----------            -------------- -----------
Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) 23.001.20143   20230417

Platform is Windows 10 64bit Version 22H2.
