I must have missed something in Mark's presentation... I am trying to
install a Windoze program that I would like to run, but the installation
doesn't work.
Here is what I have done:

1. Copy the Acrobat Reader 4 object from my Tools folder onto my
desktop. The parameters show:
Path: G:\ACROBATREADER405\AROS2.EXE
Parameters: (null)
Working Directory: G:\ACROBATREADER405\ADOBE\ACROBAT 4.0\READER

OK, if I DD the SETUP.EXE file from the CD ROM to this new object,
Acrobat tries to open it as a PDF file and pops up this:

There was an error opening this document.
File does not begin with "%PDF-".

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to remove the working directory? Am I
using the wrong version of Acrobat Reader?

Thanks!
