XSL vs XML problem installing Acrobat Reader

[Don Phillipson]

Just failed to install under WinXP (SP2) all three current
versions of Acrobat Reader. Versions 8.1.1 and 7.0.9
downloaded and then crapped out reporting "not for this
version of the Windows OS. When I tried to DL v.6.0.1
it would not go reporting "Cannot view XML input using
XSL style sheet."

1. What does this error message mean? Remedy?
2. I earlier had Acro Reader v.6 behaving OK (loaded
from the CD with my wireless card) but then it turned
sour and would read no PDF. Does this hint at some
fault in my general setup?

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double

the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.
