Hmmmm... let me look into this. Checking with dev....
@ding I can say that this happened to us as well. I was able to download manually then add by double clicking the update, clicking next then checking the radial that I already have the content.
jsweg04 that worked. However, it should prompt you to provide the location of the download as soon as you right click on it to download content. At least this is a valid work around. Thank you!!
No problem, glad to help!
I have not seen any "adobe reader" upgrade packages for a long time.
Still being supported ?
They have not kept up with updating this post but here is the reader (and acrobat) updates that I have just for the month of January this year that are in patch manager.
SolarWinds doesn't track the upgrade versions of Adobe Reader & Adobe Acrobat on this page because those packages aren't created by SolarWinds - they come directly from Adobe.
Visually, in the Software Publishing folder list section of Patch Manager, when it comes to Adobe stuff it is not super-intuitive on what folder contains what packages, but under Software Publishing there are usually two folders:
Basically, if Adobe provides it in their own catalog, SolarWinds doesn't duplicate that package since that would get even more confusing really quickly. Generally though - if you're not seeing what you're looking for in one of those folders, look for it in the other.
If you aren't seeing the most recent Adobe Reader upgrade packages, make sure that you have the software 'checked' in the catalog list (right-click Software Publishing -> Syncronization Settings -> Subscriptions tab) and that you have it set to periodically sync the catalogs; that option is in that same Synchronization Settings dialog on the first tab (Synchronization).
Is there a PM release date for the new Google Chrome browser, version 56.0.2924.76?
Thank you.
Can we get an ETA for the new release of Apple iTunes? Version 12.5.5.
Error in Google Chrome v56.0.2924.76 MSI packages?
Under the installed rule for x64 processors the Registry Key Exists rule has:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{6B7C23FA-B391-34BF-8E9D-20BD87CE2EF1}
When it should be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{6B7C23FA-B391-34BF-8E9D-20BD87CE2EF1}
Was wondering why it said it was still needed after I upgraded.
Did you successfully create any PPAPI packages? I am fairly new with creating them. Could you share your Applicability and Installed rules?
Flash Player v24.0.0.194 PPAPI MSI (Full version)
Flash Player v24.0.0.194 PPAPI MSI (Upgrade)
Thank you so much. However, regarding building packages, I have one newbie question. How do you add the 'When all of the following' as you have listed in your rules? Every time I try to add something, it just places it under the first header. I can change the operator to any or all, but not sure how to add a secondary heading.
Highlight which section (Choose "When any of the following" at the root to add a rule to the root) or choose another section's "When all of the following" or "When any of the following" for the section you want to add a new rule to and the "Add Rule" button should become available.
Well, I did that and can add rules. I just cannot add an additional 'When any' or 'When all' headers.
if you select a couple of those there should be an option to "Group" which will put them together into a sub group

Thank you both. I watched a few videos from SW and this is exactly what I was missing. Thanx to both of you for helping me out!!!
Just an FYI..here is the article regarding Chrome Flash updates. I have found that if Chrome has been updated (to the current release) the PPAPI package will not install and when I check PepperFlash, it is already updated.
Changes to Flash in Chrome 54 and later - Chrome for business and education Help
I am going to see if this works as advertised.
SEP 12.1 and SEP 14 both have a bug in them that prevents Chrome from updating the PepperFlash sometimes. That's why I started pushing out the standalone PPAPI. SEP 14.0 MP1 is due out this month and fixes the issue. But Symantec will not be fixing the issue in SEP 12.1. See the last 2 comments in this thread from the Adobe forums. Chrome 54 and Flash PPAPI distribution issue |Adobe Community
Awesome, thanx for that article. Hopefully we will be moving to SEP 14 when it releases.
thanks
Happy to announce that the Patch Manager catalog now includes Flash PPAPI installers.

Any idea when the new Google Chrome installer ( Google Chrome 58.0.3029.81) will be released? It is not showing up in Software Publishing.
Also, Java 8u131.
Both should have been released last week. Chrome on 4/20 and Java on 4/19. Looking into it now....
Thank you. I manually up with the synced up with the PM catalog and now both of these are showing. Weird, but it worked.
Thanx again!
Do you have support for other languages than english in your patches ?
Hi Martin - the Patch Manager catalog only provides English updates. However, it is possible to edit our packages in order to deploy non-English versions. You can also create custom packages for any vendors we don't include in our catalog.
First step is to adjust the Prerequisite Rule of the package. The 'Windows Language = English' rule ensures that non-English packages are ignored by English systems. Simply right click on the package you want to edit, when you get to the prerequisite rules section, double click on the Windows Language = English rule & adjust from there.
On the Select Package screen, update the download URL to point to the appropriate language pack (or if you already have the installer downloaded, you can select 'I already have the content' & browse to the installer).
Finally, adjust the Binary Language on the 'Select Package' window:
You then simply save & publish the package.
Adobe Flash player is up to 26.0.0.131 now. How soon will PM be updated with the new package? Thank you!
Hi Wayne - we are working on the Flash update, it will be in the catalog tomorrow (06/21). Apologies for the delay.
Sorry for the late response. Thank you, I have already deployed this.
