Thanks for this Ben.
I've never seen bshowEULA in the AVPrivate key before.
I imported the registry file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEU_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AdobeViewer] "EULAAcceptedForBrowser"=dword:00000001 "bLaunched"=dword:00000001 [HKEU_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVPrivate] "bshowEULA"=dword:00000000
But the behavior is the same:
- Acrobat launches without asking for the EULA
- I can navigate menus, go into opens, try to open or create a PDF
- After a handful of seconds ranging anywhere from 5-15, Acrobat closes and EULA prompt (pdapp.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\Core) appears
I tried being clever & renamed the exe to something else but instead of the EULA prompt I get the following popup:
[Title]Acrobat X Pro Adobe Application Manager, required to run your product, is missing or damaged. Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager. [OK Button]
And when I acknowledge the dialog, it and Acrobat close.
