We've ran into a few permission issues with the latest Adobe Reader 7.0.9 upgrade application, as it sets a few file permissions incorrectly during the installation that make it impossible to do future updates.

FOLDER "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX"
       READ "Everyone"
       WRITE ""
       DENY ""	

FILE "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll"
       READ "Administrators, Power Users, Users"
       WRITE "Administrators, Power Users"
       DENY ""	

FILE "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRdIF.dll"
       READ "Everyone"
       WRITE ""
       DENY ""	

Joe.
