Hello,

I had to rebuild my Windows XP machine (a dell dimension in case it
matters).  I had Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 installed and working fine
but after rebuilding the computer I had to download and reinstall
Reader 7.0.

But when I run the install package I get an error telling me it can not
find a program associated with the file extension .aom

Apparently .aom files are used by the Adobe Download Manager.  But
since I don't have any adobe applications installed I don't have the
download manager and I can't find anywhere to get the Download Manager
on its own.

I resolved this by installing Reader 6.0 first. For somereason the 6.0
install package includes the Adobe Download manager but the 7.0 install
does not.

Once I installed 6.0 I then ran the 7.0 install and that worked.
