even their installs are awful[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#5)

When you upgrade your acrobat version it forces the machine to reboot several times and heaven help you if you are a few revisions back. You can't just install the latest patch. You need to step all of the way through older patches and multiple reboots to get to where you want. Well my company tried to avoid the reboots (and lost work time) to the 10s of thousands of employees by creating a custom installation. The install went fine but one of the functions of the installer that adobe provides seems to be a removal of previous version only upon reboot. We went from version 7.0 to 7.08. Now SMS sees both versions and we get a double count. The same is happening for version 7.09 so things haven't been fixed.
