You'll probably need a Windows install disk to run it. Mike, A service cannot start a program in elevated mode in the user desktop. It can run a non-gui program elevated.

On my system, the Adobe launches with the SYSTEM user. It must be launching a program in the user desktop environment to check and download the update.
