I am using SCCM's Third-Party patching tool and I'm having a problem updating Adobe Reader DC on approximately 40 PCs. These are all Windows 7 64-Bit Enterprise machines. Most of these machines have been in production for about 5 years or more. I have been trying to get these to update by performing a clean install. I have already used the Adobe Reader cleanup tool (both versions for Reader and DC) and I have ran these twice before installing Adobe Reader. The version that has been installed is 19.008.20071. I have an update that I have been trying to push to these 40 machines is Adobe Reader DC 19.008.20074. Adobe Reader DC 19.008.20074 is failing like all other previous updates. Just to let everyone know, these issues happened after we attempted to push Adobe Reader DC continuous track on all our machines. For some reason these 40 machines just failed. They failed to properly uninstall all old versions of Adobe reader, and even after the Adobe Reader cleaner, I still cannot push updates after a fresh clean install. Any help will be appreciated. Also to note, we have some Group Policies in place for Adobe Reader 11 and Adobe Reader DC, but I do not think this would have this kind of adverse effect. And, we have established at our organization that we will not auto patch any 3rd party products.
Here is the error log I am getting:
