Fred is absolutely correct -- do _not_ try to put two versions of Acrobat (including the Distiller component) on the same PC. Period. 

And why would you want to? What would be the point of installing version 9 of Acrobat Pro  (which of course includes Distiller), but continuing to use the quite ancient Distiller 5?
