178782 2003-09-29 02:34:00 Hi and help, please,

I am trying to install Acrobat Reader 6.0 on a Windows 98 SE system and keep getting a "operating system not suppoted" message. The message is the same, regardless of whether I try to install from the website or from a PC World disc.
I previously had Reader 5.0 working on the same system and have now uninstalled it but this has made no difference. I have also recently installed Spybot- Search and Destroy but that may be irrelevant.
Many thanks again for comment.

Bernie

178784 2003-09-29 03:23:00 Been there, posted the problem, received the bad news .

Check out This Thread ( . pcworld . co . nz/thread . jsp?forum=1&thread=38932&message=194419&q=adobe#194419" target="_blank">pressf1 . pcworld . co . nz) which suggests that W98 OE & SE don't get on with this incarnation of Acrobat Reader V6 . 0 .

V6 . 01 might be a different story if and when it arrives .

I'd do a Google search though, just in case some knowledge base has developed since V6 . 0 was released . That or look at Adobe's site FAQ .

Cheers
