I hear that Adobe Reader 7.0 does not work on any version of Windows 98,
and that Adobe Reader 6.x only works on the SE version of Windows 98.

Subject: [guispeak] installing acrobat problems


I am trying to install an acrobat reader on a win 98 SE machine.  This 
machine had previously handled the reader quite well but had to have the

system reinstalled after a virus attack.  Now the install begins, files
are 
prepared, and then the installation wizard says:  "acrobat does not run
on 
this operating system and installation is cancelled.".  I have tried
three 
different versions of the reader, all for windows 98, each from a
different 
source.  All produced the same result.  I tried e-mailing adobe but
received 
an automated response saying "go to our web site."  I tried the web site
and 
discovered ways of dealing with lots of problems, but there was no
mention 
of this problem.  There seemed no practical way of getting direct advice
on 
the free reader.  Has anyone else encountered a problem installing the 
accessible version of acrobat reader?  Are their windows components or
other 
files which might not have been reinstalled when windows was placed back
on 
the machine that might cause this problem?  In short, anyone have any
ideas 
at all?
