Hi,
This change does not work on Windows XP. We need to split
adobe-reader.bat into x86-adobe-reader.bat and AMD64-adobereader.bat

what do you think?

Huh, but the DC/12 version of Adobe Reader is also 32-bit? It is
installed in %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% and the executable is also called
AcroRd32.exe.

I'm guessing DC just checks the OS version when installing and stops if
it's not at least Windows 7.

That's why I thought it was just as well to call the new file by version
name.

I did notice just on the XP machines, I do not know.

Well I do not know what to do. Quite possibly there will be no new
version for windows XP/2003. So I could transform adobe-reader.bat

IF HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion==5.1 then
adobe-reader11.bat
IF HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion==6.1 then
adobe-reader-dc.bat

This way will not break anyone scripts. But Maybe some people will like
to stay on acrobat reader11 on new systems.

Can anyone else give some feed back?

Oops, I thought I had sent this e-mail, but it was still in my Drafts
folder.

Anyways, to be honest I'm not overly impressed by DC / v12. There are a
few "premium function" buttons that nags people to buy the "full version"...

Maybe it would be good to give people the option to choose which version
they want?

But I'm not sure how long Adobe Reader v11 will still be patched with
security updates. According to their Downloads page
(https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows)
they do have an update for v11 from October at least.

That is why there is an adobe-reader-dc.bat
