Mike, do you know if the Installer Cleanup works on Windows Vista (RTM)? I downloaded it but was unable to install it.

I solved the "impossible activation" problem with a registry hack: creating the value EULA (DWORD) under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AdobeViewer, with the value of 1. This is exactly what the Accept button does, as I found out after a lengthy Google search. But of course, registry edits are not for everyone - they are too dangerous if one doesn't know what one's doing.

Adobe should release an 8.0.1 version fixing the install problem in Vista (the installer doesn't work per se - one has to use the extracted setup files) and the (apparent) incompatibility with IE 7 which causes the EULA button problem.

Technical Details
