Fixes

  • Resolved an issue which was preventing the Available Version from being correctly displayed for TeamViewer in the Audit Screens within the Control Center.

  • Resolved an issue which was preventing data to be fully populated when exporting audit results to PDF or Excel from the Client Screen.

  • Resolved an issue which was preventing notifications relating to licensing and other important issues from being displayed.

Acrobat Reader Changes

With the new addition of Acrobat Reader x64 DC and it being a considered a separate application there were potential scenarios where Ninite would attempt to install Acrobat Reader (32bit) and it would fail with an “Could not verify installation” message, this was due to Acrobat Reader x64 DC (or Acrobat Reader) already being installed, because of this Ninite Solution will make some assumptions when applying approvals relating to Acrobat Reader products.

Assuming that both Acrobat Reader x64 DC and Acrobat Reader are configured for Installation Ninite Solution will evaluate the installation priority as follows:

  • When Acrobat Reader x64 DC is installed, Ninite Solution will not attempt to install Acrobat Reader.

  • When Acrobat Reader is installed, Ninite Solution will not attempt to install Acrobat Reader x64 DC.

  • When neither product is installed, Ninite Solution will attempt to install Acrobat Reader x64 DC first and then Acrobat Reader if unsuccessful.

Application Support

Remember to update your approvals for Ninite Solution to be able to take action against any new Applications.

  • Added support for: Acrobat Reader DC x64

  • Renamed: Reader → Acrobat Reader

  • Renamed: Edge → Microsoft Edge

  • Version Definitions for TeamViewer, Firefox ESR and Reader have been updated.
