Another vote for Foxit!

I also use Foxit - much cleaner and faster (2.2MB vs. 22MB).

Beta complainers

"Beta tech should never be used in production, its asking for trouble"

Who has time to develop in both the beta AND production versions? Certainly not me!!

I should have read the comments first!!

Read the story - downloaded the "software". This machine runs as a restricted user, so I switched into Admin mode to install - no problem. Finished install - went to fire up as a restricted user, and it wanted the .msi file to install something else!! Of course the wonderful M$ install had erased the .msi file that had been extracted from the download. Next step - fire up AppWiz.cpl in Admin mode and remove!
