Question : Powerpoint 2007 installs Acrobat standard 8 everytime it opens \ also asks for Office key sometimes

I have had this issue with a few different machine and can not find a solution anywhere else.

After installing or upgrading to office 2007, When a user goes to open a powerpoint document Acrobat standard will run an install everytime.  I have reinstalled both office 2007 and acrobat with no luck.  I have also made sure both are running the latest updates.

What also happens sometimes is after the acrobat install, powerpoint will ask for the office 2007 product key.  If not entered the software shuts down.  If reopened it will not ask for it again.

Any suggestions

For one problem machine, use Windows Install Cleanup to uninstall Office 2007 and to uninstall Acrobat 8. Restart and reinstall each product fully. Consider upgrading to Acrobat 9. Then see if this issue is still occuring.

I use Office 2007 and Acrobat 9 in complete harmony on Windows 7 and did on Vista as well.
