Running AdbeRdr90_en_US but it says I need to upgrade explorer to 5.5 or greater.

However I have ran ie6settup and the control panel says internet explorer ie6 sp1 is installed.

Weird thing when I open IE it says under help in big and bold it is internet explorer 5, but below says version 6.0.2800.1106 and update version:;SP1. So what is it am I running Explorer 5 or explorer 6.

Anyway Acrobat reader will not install--is there any way to make it skip explorer I just use Firefox anyway.

Any suggestions?
I can't even find Acrobat 8.1 to try.
Using clunky old GSview in the mean time :-(

You can install with Firefox 2.0 or 3.0.

There is an explanation on how to download earlier versions of the Reader at the end of the following post:

I am installing 6.0 (AdbeRdr60_enu.exe) on Windows 2000 SP1 OS from the file downloaded on Vista to a Cruzer and copied to the target system. Since I am not on the internet with this other system I am getting an error finding instmsiw.exe even though it is already installed on my target system. Can I do this Adobe install with "extract to" and/or install from the CMD line in DOS? Am I using the best version?

Thanks,
