There are ways to check, but the quickest and easiest thing to do is check for 
the existence of the following registry key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppPaths\Acrobat.exe

If it is there then the full Adobe Acrobat is most likely installed. Otherwise 
you are probably safe to go ahead and install the latest Adobe Reader.

Hope that helps. ☺

Subject: [gptalk] Install Acrobat Reader via Group Policy UNLESS already 
installed

I would like to install Adobe Reader on all of our Domains PC's unless any 
version is already installed.  
I have some users that have the full version and do not want to effect that.  
Does anybody have a GPO Script or startup script to do this?
