I have been trying to roll out Adobe Acrobat 7 through Windows 2000
group policy.  I extracted the files from the AdbeRdr70_enu_full.exe to
get access to the .MSI file, and then used group policy to push out the
software.  All of this is going fine, except when attempt to open a
.PDF file I recieve an error about a missing unicows.dll.  Sure enough
the file is no where to be found on the computer.  I used Wininstall LE
2003 to look at the Adobe .MSI package, and I located the unicows.dll
file so it is there.  For some reason it's just not being copied during
the install.  If I manually take a copy of the file and place it in the
Windows system directory Reader 7.0 works as it should.  Anyone have
any insight as to why a file that is present in the .MSI package is NOT
being copied over?

I also applied the 7.01 Reader Update to see if this would fix the
problem, but to no avail.
