FWIW, what you say should work for Acrobat does work for me now. I have been using this approach for a number of years without any apparent problem. I keep hearing that others have problems, but I have no idea specifically what they are--and in any case, I apparently do not.
Is it possible that all the hullaballoo is just Adobe's attempt to coerce everyone to keep up with the latest offering, so they do not have to continue to support older versions any longer than absolutely necessary? Just wondering...

Difficult, but not impossible. Software manufacturers should not blame their customers and put problems on their shoulders that can easily (or difficultly) be solved by the manufacturer. And "difficult" is relative: when you have a near-monopoly of the graphics arts market and are earning hundreds of millions of dollars, "difficult" is both easy and cheap. For a start, when I double-click on an FM file, FM 7.2 always opens. So there is no reason why Acrobat versions cannot do the same -- the last installed has all the registry pointers directed to this version. As for toobars and plug-ins, they could all be installed by the latest installation. If you wanted to use an older version with a file you would have to launch it and use File > Open, just as I do with FrameMaker 7.0.
