No you can launch acrobat from a cd regardless of whats installed on the hard disk. We do it by creating a small .exe with wise installbuilder which is called by the autorun.inf. The exe detects the cd rom drive path and then calls the acrord32.exe and the name of the pdf to launch. Works every time. Copy the Acrobat reader folder from the acrobat CD and you will also get the licence pop up for first time users.

Acrobat Reader... set to autorun from a CD will always find and use a HD instal of Reader, if it exists? Because this is what I find. Like... AcroRd32.exe appears to have some kind of search function that defaults to the HD version...which is then likely to put up a splash screen.... a prompt to configure the user's browser... have no smoothing set ... and a mouse cursor that disappears after a couple of seconds etc.etc. Is there a way of ensuring that a CD version of Reader with the appropriate preferences set is the one used rather than a HD version? Or is this just a 'serious limitation' of Acrobat Reader that I have to live with?
