Hopefully we can circumvent this by using the win32api
Python module. Luis, may I ask you to try the following
Python code ?


        import win32api
        print win32api.FindExecutable('AcroRd32.exe')


You will need the pywin32 Python module from here:

        http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

The above code should return an integer and a string, or
throw an exception.

I don't have access to a Windows machine that I can test on ...

Thanks,
Karsten
