I found the solution and will describe it in brief ... just in case someone 
else has a
similar problem.
The PDA has no RegEdit (like every Win-PC has) and so I had no chance to 
check
the registry of my PDA for a "forgotten" V1.0 entry. I downloaded and 
installed the
freeware "PHM RegEdit" on my PDA.
"Find Adobe" showed me the orphaned entry "Adobe Reader V1.0".
Entry deleted - PDA rebooted - Reader V2.0 installed - problem solved.
What a pitty that the Adobe installer itself couldn't solve this problem.
Enjoy your PDA,
Michael
