Having upgraded to WM 5.1, I now get an installer popup for WM every time I try to run Adobe Reader
6. It gets stuck in an infinite loop, popping the box back up each time I cancel. I thought
upgrading to the new Adobe Reader 7 would fix it, but no luck. There are a couple of other threads
here about the problem, and I found a web forum post. If I re-download the messenger.msi installer
file and point the error dialog at it, will that fix the problem or make it worse?
Given that both Adobe Reader and Windows Messenger have had new versions released since the problem
was first reported (some threads are from 2003!), when can we expect this to be fixed? What's the
problem anyway? I can't find mention of it in MS' knowledge base. Are the developers on either side
actually aware of it?
