I think this is a configuration issue, which will get better answers  
from the MiKTeX help locations (wherever those may be).

Probably MikTeX has its own mechanism for this, so the updmap script  
probably is replaced by something else.
On TeXLive systems, you shouldn't do the above either.

updmap -h shows the help, which "show(s) alternatives for options".

updmap --showoptions LW35
URWkb URW ADOBE ADOBEkb

So
     updmap --setoption LW35 ADOBE
should do the trick, or (if you use the Karl Berry naming scheme):
     updmap --setoption LW35 ADOBEkb

This may install things only locally. updmap-sys will work system-wide.
