Hello,

We have been experiencing in a relatively big company some problems related to the recent updates of Adobe Reader (at least since July 2008 I would say): it seems like the update is removing on some computers every file related to Visual C++ 8 Redistribuables. (mfc80.dll, msvcr80.dll...)

That leads to other programs (namely SAP Logon) to fail loading at all...

The current solution we have is to use a file called vcredist_x86.exe to reinstall these missing files, but has someone else already observed such problems ?
