If you need to see if the user can read a PDF file, rather than detect the Acrobat reader application specifically, why not test for the file association so that *any* PDF reader will satisfy the check (I much prefer an alternative PDF reader myself). The keys to test for would be HKLM\Software\Classes\.pdf and HKCU\Software\Classes\.pdf Your condition would be something like: Installed or <first value exists> or <second value exists>
