Problem Title:
V1.5 COREGEN: Datasheets only viewable when COREGEN is invoked from the
Acrobat install directory after installing Acrobat to "."



Problem Description:
Keywords: coregen, acrobat, start, install

Urgency: standard

General Description:
Problems may be encountered when trying to pull up datasheets
in COREGen after doing an Acrobat install if "." is specified
as the location to which Acrobat is to be installed.

If you specify "." as the install directory when installing
Acrobat, Acrobat will take the "." and use it to qualify the
path to the "acroread" executable in its startup script.
Doing so will have the effect of preventing you from starting
up Acrobat unless you do so from the Acrobat install
directory.


Solution 1:


Instead of specifying "." as the Acrobat install directory,
specify the full path to the location where you want Acrobat
to be installed.  That way the install will correctly
configure the startup script with the full path to Acrobat
so that Acrobat can run from anywhere. t
