In the end I just gave. I never noticed any problems with the features of Acrobrat, so I just turned off the 'Check for Updates' I don't think it is wrong to expect better quality from what is pretty expensive software.

I don’t think it is wrong to expect better quality from what is pretty expensive software.

How hard would it be to say "The selected application is version 7.0.3. This updater requires 7.0.5 or 7.0.6." (or whatever)? My Adobe applications have recently taken to giving me a message on startup saying "A required component was not found. Please restore the Adobe [whatever] folder from your original CD." The only button is labeled "Quit," and the startup process pauses while the dialog is up. However, when I press "Quit," the applications finish starting up and work fine.
