Unlike Firefox, Mozilla didn't add anything to distinguish between ESR and Latest! both are identical in registry/display name and files! But they are working to fix this soon in an upcoming release.

Commercial/Paid Products: Support and General Questions (ConfigMgr and Intune) / Adobe Reader installation fail...

Last post by michaelsbdc - August 05, 2025, 12:42:39 AM

We just built a small handful of new workstations (Dell, W11 23H2, fully patched), and trying to add Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Continuous 25.001.20577 (x64) fails on them with good ol' error 1603. We use the standard command-line supplied by PMPC.

Looking in the Event log, I can see the error 2711, feature not found (ReaderBrowserIntegration), as per the attached image.

Has anyone else come across this? Our other workstations are still updating the installed package fine, it's just the new builds won't install the base package.

Home Updater: General Discussions, Questions and Updates / Thunderbird esr version seems ...

Last post by H. Iat - August 05, 2025, 12:01:30 AM

I use Thunderbird 140.1.0 in the "esr" version (Extended Support Release). This version is maintained with security updates, but does not receive new features as often as the "normal" version. This version is therefore recommended for use in companies.

The current PatchMyPC Home Updater (V. 5.2.3.0) criticizes the version status and claims that my actual version 140.1.0 is currently outdated. PMP recommends version 141.0. However, there is currently no version 141.0 esr available.
PathMyPC does not seem to be aware of the difference between the two Thunderbird versions ("esr" and "normal").

Home Updater: General Support and Troubleshooting / Re: Updated to 5.3.0.0 and now...

Last post by coover - August 04, 2025, 06:44:00 PM

Thanks for your reply ... It does look like Windhawk was the problem. In order to fix the problem, I had to first uninstall Windhawk, reboot, Uninstall Patch My PC. reboot, Reinstall Patch, Remove several of the Icons on the "overflow task bar that resulted from removing Windhawk and another so that I could add Patch back to the main taskbar. Move Patch to where I wanted it on the taskbar, and then add back the Icons I had to remove which are now back on the overflow taskbar. It worked, but it should have been unnecessary! Of course, the problem was not Patch My PC.

FYI -

I have updated PMPC Home Updater to 5.3.0.0 (Preview) on my desktop PC running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 but without Windhawk and the "Multirow taskbar for Windows 11" mod that you appear to have installed. On my system, "Pin to taskbar" is available under the "More" option of the Home Updater app start menu item as shown in the attached snapshot and works as intended.

I therefore suspect 5.3.0.0 is not the cause of "Pin to taskbar" being missing on your system.

Hello @gserviss,

Could you please try resetting the app settings to default and then try the update again?
You can do this on the Settings page and by using the "Reset All Settings" button.

Did the update report any error for the installation code?

Do you have the 'Manage Conflicting Process' feature enabled to ensure that the process is being closed prior to the update running?
