We do not use IE as a browser, we use Firefox instead so we only have IE 5.5 installed. If I try and install Adobe Reader 8 it aborts saying:
"This version of Internet Explorer is not supported. You should upgrade Internet Explorer to version 6.0.2600.0 and run setup again. Setup will now terminate."
Do I really need to upgrade just to get Adobe Reader 8?
