How to update an add-on

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Upgrade to Adobe Reader 7.0 (Actually 7.0.2). Uninstall all
existing versions from Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs.
Uninstall them in descending order 6.02, 6.01....
Also, Reader 7.0 has been reworked for XP so start/load times
are significantly faster. One caveat, Reader now tries to sneak
Yahoo Toolbar into it's install routine, so check install options
carefully.

Download here:

Get the 7.0.2, as the 2nd selection in the table.

In Add/Remove programs, uninstall Reader 5.0.1. Then, locate and download
Reader 7.0.1 off the web. Then, process the update.
