[wpkg-users] %version% fails on download and block-package request

Thanks for your reply!

That should work, or I could just live with that I have to change both
values on upgrade, but it would be nice if it could work somehow.

This is a combination of not wanting to fill the users Dropbox with
applications (we have a lot of applications that differ between research
groups) and me wanting to test the download feature.

I have considered using the check condition for this, but we have a
range of different Adobe Acrobat versions so the list would be long, and
I also have to add this to all future patches and make sure they all are
the same.
can I use regex in the file path?

ex %PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Acrobat (8|9|10)\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe

Then I could use this single check to see if any full version of Acrobat
is installed instead of checking for 8, 9 and 10.
(all research groups buy their own software licenses so we cant just use
the latest version for all of them, but we uninstall old versions that
is not updated anymore by Adobe)
