I used Adobe Customization Wizard 8 to prepare my own install of Adobe Reader 8.1.2. I checked "Make Acrobat the default view if both Acrobat and Reader are installed." and then install the Reader on a machine with Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1 Professional. It works fine, PDFs are opened with Acrobat by default, however when I uninstall Adobe Reader (Add/Remove Programs), for some reasons file association with Acrobat is lost and I need to manually associate them with Adobe Acrobat.

Do you have any idea what could be the reason for it and if there is any fix/workaround?
Many thanks in advance,
Ewa
