With the Foxit Reader installer, I encountered the same problem that I did with OpenOffice.org 3.2 installer - it insisted that I lacked sufficient rights on my own system (I have admin rights). The difference is that the OOo installer eventually relented and I got 3.2 installed despite the protests - and without any change to my system (Windows XP Pro x64). The Foxit installer just keeps crapping out after the splash-screen and the warning. Too bad. I was prepared to try it and upgrade to the pay-for version. Maybe I'll see if I can get it to install on my laptop at home, with Windoze 7 Ultimate. - Kevin bumpf follows... -->|The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.
