I installed Adobe Reader 8.0 from an MSI from an application server. I was testing the self-healing function. Now in theory, if I were to delete any Adobe files, for example a DLL, the next time I launch the application, the MSI should replace any missing files. I tried this and, instead of repairing the installation by replacing the file, I recieved an error message saying there were missing files and the application could not launch. Can anyone tell me why Adobe did not self-heal itself?
