Backup Object library?

I'm getting ready to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (I keep getting the dreaded "Send to Microsoft" "LiveCycle Designer has encountered a problem and needs to close error" every time I attempt to open a pdf created in LC8.) I've tried modifying, repairing - neither gets me past it. Before I do, though, I want to backup my Objects Libraries so I don't have to rebuild all that I've created. Has anyone ever done it? I don't know where to look to find the individual elements to copy to a different drive before deleting and reinstalling.
Thanks
Pat

They're buried under the Designer install directory, unless you've moved them.

My most used ones I've move to shared libraries on a network drive.

For me they're in:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\LiveCycle ES\Workbench ES\Designer ES\8.2\EN\Objects\

Oh, and they can also be found under your user directory under
\Application Data\Adobe\Designer\

I think some people have had luck stopping crashes by deleting some of the caches and settings files in there too.
