I have my hard drive partitioned so I can dual Vista Ultimate and XP Pro. When I logged into the D: partition which has XP loaded, is the default OS and where I installed my Adobe Acrobat 7.0, it asks to install updates and I accept; the 7.1 update downloads and starts, but I get error 1303: "the installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory D:\Windows\winsxs\Policies." I've done some digging in Adobe's knowledge base and it says to modify the permissions for that folder. I guess that makes sense, but it shouldn't be trying to install anything on the C: partition but rather the D: where the program is installed... right? Since I'm installing and update, it doesn't give me ANY option about where to install the files.

I've searched the registry for a setting that points to D: instead of C: but found nothing.

Anyone have any help???

Well, I'm not sure I figured out the solution to my problem at all, but I have updated my Acrobat Pro 7 trying a different route. I simply downloaded the updates 7.0.1, 7.0.2, etc. in lieu of the 7.1.1, 7.1.2, etc. and they all loaded up just fine with no error messages.

Still wondering why the 'newer' updates would not load, but it's not a huge issue anymore........
