I've installed Acrobat Pro 7.0 to a workstation running Windows XP SP3 with all windows updates applied.
Acrobat runs fine except for one nagging issue:
When I "Check for Updates now" I have a single update listed. The update is titled "Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional update". The size of the update is 52.21MB.
I have gone through the download process without error and the ensuing installation process without error.
I am prompted to restart the system to apply the update. I restart the system and there are no errors reported. If I check for updates again, the SAME update will be available for download and install.
I've verified that the running version is 7.1.0.
I've tried uninstalling the software, rebooting, then reinstalling Acrobat from scratch without it solving the issue.
I've deleted the preference file for the user and had Acrobat auto-recreate the folder without solving the issue.
I've even ran the .exe file for this update after downloading it from the Adobe website.
How do I make the program recognize that this update has been applied?
How do I verify that this update has been applied?
1. Choose Start > Run, and type command in the Open text box. Click OK.2. Type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
c:
cd\
del acr*.tmp /s
Note: Many lines of text will fill the Command.com window as this process runs. Wait for the process to complete (when the text has stopped for about 10 seconds), and then continue to the next step.
3. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Applications Data\Adobe\Acrobat\7.0 folder.
4. Delete the Updater folder.
