Having downloaded 7.08 and attempted to install it, 7.08 fails to uninstall 7.05 with message Patch package missing.
Same thing happens using msiexec /x {product code}
or with uninstall commands in Install/uninstall Program Files.
Error 1714 also figures

This machine is Athlon 3000+ 1Gbyte Ram 180 Mbyte C:drive XP home revision 2 plus the latest explorer and microsoft patches.

I have my Acrobat Version 4 Showing in program files
Reader V5 Showing in program files, little content now
Reader V7 Showing in program files with several ENU folders
because of attempts to re-run the installation. The extra ENUs
can be deleted at will.

Do I have to wait for Version 8 before I can use Reader again do you
think?

Regards

George
