Acrobat Standard - Disable Automatic Updates without using Installshield Tuner!
Hello!
We have made a mst using installshield tuner for acrobat (as far as I can remember we disabled automatic updates...) and then we fine-tuned the mst using Wise Package studio (some shurtcuts and registry-modification, and integrated a script for uninstalling acrobat 5).
Now when I test deployment the "Automatic Updates" are enabled! I think I will mess up the package if I modify it in Installshild tuner for Acrobat (Also the "Preferences page" does not show correctly).
Howe do I disable the Automatic Updates without using Installshield?
Many thanks in advance!

What you should do is create the transform with the Tuner utility, then create another transform with your changes. But the fact that you're using Wise might mess it up. Wise and Installshield add their own custom tables that don't like working together. I'd create the second MST with an evaluation copy of AdminStudio.

Set the program "auto update" feature to manual and disable the update reminder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\6.0\Updater]
"bShowAutoUpdateConfDialog"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
Much more information about this can be found at Appdeploy Package KnowledgeBase

I am trying to disable the Update feature by making a mst on Installsheild. I do not see HKEY_LM...Updater on the registry. Is there any where else I can look for it. The people will be under controlled environment so they dont even want the dialog box to pop up to ask for updates. I see Updater on the Features section but dont want to touch it not knowing the consequences. any help would be appreciated.
