launch document fails sometimes with PDFs

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

I am using launch document to show a PDF file since long time.

Sometimes on some Windows machines LiveCode doesn't find the associated
program to the PDF file extension and the launch fails, though the Adobe
Reader IS associated with the PDF file extension. It seems to me, that it is
the same issue as LiveCode doesn't find Quicktime on some windows machines,
though it is correct installed.

Is this a known issue and anything I can do?

I am thinking about replacing it with starting the Adobe Reader via shell.

Can I just always start "AcroRD32.exe" without specified path on all windows
machines? (it works at least on my machines fine). I don't like to get the
path from the registry.

Was the Adobe Reader already called "Acrord32.exe" on XP and will it
hopefully stay by that?

Any experiences welcome

Tiemo
