Hi.
When I tried to update my Acrobat Reader, it first told me it couldn't because it could not find the Adobe.msi file. My Reader is installed on my 2nd hard drive. From Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, I uninstalled it, or so it told me...I looked, and it was still on the E: drive! (My Add/Remove Programs only shows programs installed on my C: drive, usually.)Now when I try to install the Update, it says it can't find the Adobe program at all (I assume because it's not on my C: drive).

Is there a way to update it without it being installed on my C: drive? I was going to try moving the Updater file to the Adobe file on the E: drive, but I can't seem to even find it! (the Updater).

The Microsoft Uninstaller site (referred to in another similar question) says to reinstall Acrobat to the same folder as it was before, but this seems to be the problem!

I have XP Professional.
