Acrobat Reader 9 with Deployment Tool. Doesn't Open in Browser
I used the ACT 9 tool for this with the reader that doesn't include AIR/Adobe.com
I tried enabled and disabled in the checkbox for "Display PDF in Browser" and it still returns the error "The Adobe Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please Exit and Try again"
I have been using the adobe deployment tool for a while, but for some reason this one piece hasn't seem to work correctly since version 8. The work around is to go into the application and uncheck "Display PDF in browser" which is totally backwards. Anyone?

Add this regkey to the MST file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe\Acrobat]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\EXE]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 9.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\""
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe\Acrobat]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\EXE]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 9.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\""

Forgot to mention, you can also inject that key into the registry after install to fix that error as well.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00Careful with this: if you use the RegEdit v5 format header, you must save the .REG file in Unicode format, otherwise RegEdit will reject it. It's much safer to always use the v4 header. Also, the first 2 lines of registry data are superfluous.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe\Acrobat]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\EXE]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 9.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\""
Lastly, you can edit your own posts, so there's no need to add another if you've forgotten something.
