Setup has detected . . .

[Ken Poshedly]

You got it, David. You got it.

As said earlier and after much frustration, I finally uninstalled ALL the Adobe things and THEN successfully installed Acrobat Pro 9.

Afterwards, I re-installed FrameMaker 10, but WITHOUT the PDF Creation "fiendish-thingy" (a la Yellow Submarine).

I mistakenly believed uninstalling FrameMaker 10 the first time would also uninstall its hangers-on, but obviously NOT.

And only install Acrobat Pro after ALL other Adobe products are installed: let it do it's thing without any chance of something dumber coming along and "fixing" it.
