I have a 100+ computers groups on a Windows 2003 domain all running on Windows XP, but they are have different version of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat including :

- Adobe Acrobat Reader from 5.0 to 7.0
- Adobe Acrobat 5.0
- Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional
- Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard

I want to deploy Adobe Reader 8.0 on all my computer include or except those with retail Adobe Acrobat. I know how to use basically GPO on AD2003 to deploy a software, I do it recently with Mozilla FireFox 2.0 and it work fine. But this morning I try it with Adobe Reader 8.0 (FR) on a small dedicated number of computers (I do a separate UI in my GPOs) and on computer with NO Adobe products it work perfectly, but on those with older version of Reader or Acrobat, it just doesn't do anything!

Is there a way to deploy Adobe Reader 8.0 to upgrade my older version of Reader?? And maybe, I don't know if it's possible, to upgrade the "reader" part of my Adobe Acrobat 5, 6 and 7 to use the 8.0 reader functionnalities...

Last question. On the computers where the Adobe Reader 8.0 deployment work, I want to auto accept the agreement and disable the Adobe Reader 8.0 tutorial on first run! Is there any war to do that when deploying?
