    How do I disable Acrobat reader for checking if the ARM Service is present?

    I have created an app-v 5.0 package for Acrobat reader 11.  When I run the package on the sequencer I don't have any issues.  When I run it on my test machine I get  a pop-up stating "There was an error during installation.  An internal error occurred."

    I have already tried removing the reg keys in the package that refer to ARM, but this hasn't worked.

    Is there a step I need to take before sequencing that will resolve this?

    Thanks for the help.  Event log entry follows.

    The event viewer gives me further details on the event:

    Just checked out my last notes from when I sequenced it, try this:

    When installing the MSI, add this property to the property table via the Adboe customisation tool:

    DISABLE_ARM_SERVICE_INSTALL=1

    And add the following registry key:

    [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM]
    "iCheckReader"=dword:00000000

    That should both disable the service and stop Adobe from trying to update itself (the other commonly used key to disable updates is stored under policies and therefore ignored by default in App-V).
