I am moving from distributing manuals in a paper format to distributing them in a PDF format on a CD. For those customers who do not have access to the internet, I want to include the ability to install the Acrobat Reader from the CD. For example, a lab in China may have a computer connected to one of our instruments, but that computer may not be connected to the internet. I am exclusively in a MS Windows environment. When I visited the Adobe website, I noticed that there are several versions of the Acrobat Reader available: Windows 95 (9.9 MB file size, Reader 5.05) Windows 98 (9.9 MB file size, Reader 5.05) Windows 98 SE (15.3 MB file size, Reader 6.0) Windows ME (15.3 MB file size, Reader 6.0) Windows XP (15.3 MB file size, Reader 6.0) Windows NT (15.3 MB file size, Reader 6.0) Windows 2000 (15.3 MB file size, Reader 6.0) Windows 3.1 (4.8 MB file size, Reader 3.01) However, it appears to me that there might actually be only three versions of the Reader: 5.05 (9.9 MB), 6.0 (15.3 MB), and 3.01 (4.8). If this is true, the production costs for duplication the CDs would be lower if I only had to include three versions of the Reader on the CD ROM, instead of placing all eight versions on the CD. My question is, if I place on my CD the Windows 95 Reader and the Windows XP Reader and the Windows 3.1 Reader, will they also install on and work properly on the other versions of Windows, or do I have to place all eight Reader versions on the CD? In this scenario, I would place a listing of all the Windows versions on the screen under "Install Acrobat Reader" and the user would click on their particular version of Windows, which would point to a 5.05 Reader, or a 6.0 Reader, or the 3.01 Reader installation executable. Will this work?
