While I don't have vista, I do know that the acrobat ppc reader has a problem with wmdc which is vista's replacement for activesync.

Question, does the install fail completely or just the activesync plugin fail... i.e. does the app end up on the ppc at the next sync?

If not, you can run the install on another windows machine with activesync, then find the resulting "cab" file on that pc which is extracted during the pc part of the install, copy that to your ppc, tap the cab file using pocket file explorer and it will install on the ppc.

afaik, adobe has no intention of addressing this and other issues and they are not active on this forum.
