I installed Adobe Reader 8.0 for the first time today. Whenever I start it up, it runs normally for a few seconds and then abruptly quits. No error message, no CrashReporter log, nothing.

The only indication that something has gone wrong is this in the console.log at the time of each termination:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what(): Unable to determine registration filepath!

I've trashed all preference files, and reinstalled, and restarted my computer, and checked all the associated log files I can find. I can't track down the source of the error. None of the .plist files has anything that looks like a registration path listed.

I do see a file (~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Registration Database) that lists other non-free Adobe products I have, but not this one.

Anyone seen this problem?
