Don't even get me started on CS3 install on Citrix.

Subject: [THIN] Watch out with ADOBE ACROBAT READER 9 and Vista user roaming profiles

I'm putting this out there everywhere I have a presence in hopes that Adobe will get off it's butt and fix this problem. If you install Adobe 9 acrobat reader on Windows Vista on a domain and use roaming profiles for users, be it mandatory or not, Acrobat Reader crashes and will not run. It gives errors in modules annots.api and also msvc80.dll.

As soon as you give the user admin priveleges the program will run. I've tried turning off UAC, still broke, I've tried running adobe reader in compatibility mode, still broke, I've tried running adobe as administrator settings still broke. I've tried changing access on adobe folders to give users full control, still broke. Giving a user administrator priveleges is NOT an acceptable solution.

I am not the only one having this issue there are posts all over the internet including the below samples IN the adobe forums.

Don't install Adobe Acrobat 9 in a vista domain unless you want some super headaches!
