Acrobat Reader 5.1 reinstalls with every use
Going slightly batty with an Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.1 prob.
Have many WinXP Pro workstations and have noticed on a few of them (but not all) that every time a user opens a .pdf Acrobat reinstalls for every file they view. Acrobat has been installed from a .msi file which we created and are using for remote administration purposes. The reinstall definitely crops up for users w/ "Domain User" rights, but doesn't seem to affect those with "Power User" or "Administrator" rights. Making all users "Power Users" is not a viable solution. I've tried uninstalling Acrobat (w/ Add/Remove Programs and manually), reinstalling from the .msi file (as an Administrator). Interestingly, when I uninstall using Add/Remove Programs, Acrobat Reader reappears almost instantly - it doesn't actually go away. When I'm logged in as Administrator Acrobat Reader stays installed, no problems. I've tried installing the Reader with as the User w/ Admin rights - but as soon as I "demote" the user to regular user status the problem reappears. So, why won't the Acrobat Reader install "stick" for a Domain User? Thoughts, Ideas, Suggestions? Tim |
