hello adi316

u'll have 2 use registry for that task. check 4 the following entry in the registry using APIs n get the value in a variable (it holds the install path of acrobat reader 5.0 in this key) u can search for different versions off course by chabging the version number subkey.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\5.0\InstallPath

then check for the exe file of acrobat reader in that path u got from above mentioned key. if there exists a file it means that version of acrobat reader is installed on that machine at that path.

hope it will help u
