Acrobat Reader DC version 2015.006.30096 how to disable welcome splash screen on first use?

We are a public library with a few hundred computers accessible to the public. These computers are locked so to restart any changes made by connected boss are deleted to protect the computers and the privacy of the guests. Thus, whenever the computer is used the first start using window comes up. Have been able to disable this in other versions of Acrobat, but not DC/2015. Have you tried following registry with the Customization Wizard changes:

HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2015\FeatureLockDown\

bUsageMeasurement

REG_DWORD

0

HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2015\FeatureLockDown\cWelcomeScreen

bShowWelcomeScreen

REG_DWORD

0

Also I tried AcrobatDC.admx group policy for the splash screen to the launch, disabled.

Computers are unlocked after hours to push software installed. Install 2015.006.30033 first, followed by the 2015.006.30096.msp upgrade. Then, the computers are locked again. All this is done without supervision, so it's impossible to connect in each and close the boot welcome screen as a user.

I notice the same problem when using SCCM to upgrade a desktop clients v11. I make a request the AcroRdr2015Upd1500630097_MUI.msp as part of the upgrade, and it seems that this "feature" has been added in the AcroRdr2015Upd1500630094_MUI.msp patch. Test users saw the pop up window, not read the news and then clicking, then, then until they end up in a screen asking you to sign on information. No doubt this will eventually generate calls to the help desk, so we stopped to spread it.

Some initial surveys show that, in the registry for the current user, a key of registry Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2015\FTEDialog has a bShowInstallFTE dword = 1 created right after player DC 2015 is open for the first time and before closing the Welcome dialog box. An initial test shows that manually creating the value and set it to 0 before the upgrade seems to stop the Welcome screen.

I tried to put this value in the location of HKLM values bShowWelcomeScreen or bUsageMeasurement in the Customization Wizard, but not luck and attempted to add to the HKLU in editor package, but through SCCM installation of the software under a different account, the registry value does not end up in the currently logged on users register immediately.

I think the fix is to use Group Policy to add the registry key on all workstations before moving their

The key is:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2015\FTEDialog]

"bShowInstallFTE" = DWORD: 00000000

Hope this helps, Denis.
