I would like to install Acrobat reader 6.0 but am having trouble removing 5.x. Although the reader is on my windows 2000 pro desktop, I have not found the uninstall procedure. It is not a menu item, reader 5.0 is not listed in the add/remove programs and there is no file called uninstall.exe or the like anywhere on my desktop related to acrobat reader 5.x. I do have the full version of Adobe Acrobat 5.0 as well on this computer.

I have heard a lot of problems people are having after they installed 6.0 before removing 5.x.

Also does version 6 include an msi file or installer to allow the program to be published across workstations in a network, and if so, can it be configure to remove any prior version of the reader found on that workstation?
Thanks for all help and suggestions.
