You might want to check out the registry setting
HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\EXE\(Default). If this key doesn't exist
then create it. The (Default) should be a string and contains the value
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" or where ever
your reader application is located. This worked for me.
