Hi,
Not sure what you mean by browse the control panel for the application.
If you publish an application (which can only be done for user) it is
in the add/remove programs and does not install until the user clicks
on it.
If you assign the application (can be done for both user and computer),
it is in the start menu and does not install until the user clicks on
it from the start menu.
The question is how are you deploying this package to the users?
Sounds like you have published the application. Is this correct?

Hi thanks for the reply. When i said install, I didn't mean I installed
it to a workstation, I ran the setup with the parameters to copy the msi
etc to a central location.
I have the group policy working to make it appear in control panel but was
hoping to get the install to run from either a deployed icon or triggered
from an attempt at opening a .pdf file.

When you installed Acrobat Reader it should have automatically been
available
for all users unless you're redirecting their Start Menu.
To control what applications are available to the user:
User Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> System
Then create a list in "Run only allowed Windows applications"
To control what applications are unavailable to the user:
User Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> System
Then create a list in "Don't run specified Windows applications"

Hi, bit of a newbie question but I have been having a go at trying to
make
acrobat reader available for users who require it using a GPO.
I have the msi etc installed to a central location and have managed to
publish it so it shows in control panel (Add remove programs) for users
in
the linked OU and it installs fine with that method.
I was hoping to get it so that it would install without the user needing
to
browse control panel for it and just pull it down when a pdf document was
attempted to be opened. It looks as if this is possible but I'm lost on
how
to get the application and its file extensions showing in the 'File
Extensions' tab of 'Software Installation Properties'.
I'm sure I'm missing something silly here (forest for the trees style)
or
I'm not able to do what I thought I could.
Any idea's for me?
Thanks,
.
