I'm not sure what causes Acrobat to try to install when users click
on *any* icon, but otherwise I would expect this kind of behaviour
if you did *not* follow this procedure to install Acrobat:
* put the server into install mode before installation ("change
user /install" at the command prompt)
* install Acrobat under an Administrator account
* when installation is finished, stay in install mode (this is
crucial!) and start Acrobat
* accept the licensing agreement
* run "Help" - "Search for updates now"
* when the updates are installed, configure all settings. Make sure
that automatic updates are disabled
* exit Acrobat
* return the server to execute mode ("change user /execute" at the
command prompt)
I would uninstall Acrobat completely, remove any Acrobat-related
registry entries and re-install.
