Hello smeezekitty
The main reason I joined MSFN was to grab
a copy of your compiled "user33.dll" in this thread
(Google led me here), so I could preview/install
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on my Vista Home Premium SP2
32bit laptop - so, many thanks indeed
Your DLL redirection method has worked flawlessly
during all the continuous-track updates Adobe pushed,
for the record those were:
-- File Version --
15.007.20033.02203
15.008.20082.15957
15.009.20069.28170
15.009.20077.29851
15.010.20056.36345
15.010.20059.40980
Sadly, the latest update, which was
File Version: 15.010.20060.43353
somehow has broken things for me
When I try to access the Preferences popup window,
(Edit -> Preferences), I now get the error reported
by 2008WindowsVista in:
comment=1109941
which, much like his case, appears only once
when you try to access Prefs; clicking OK makes it
go away and Prefs pops up normally.
But, much like 2008WindowsVista has already posted in:
comment=1109943
the real deal-breaker is when trying to access the Tools tab
(either directly or via Edit -> Manage Tools), when the error
shown can't be clicked away and results in an endless loop,
making it necessary to kill AcroRd32.exe process manually
via Task manager.
2008WindowsVista is on Vista Ultimate 64bit and
he already reported those glitches since first
released version 2015.007.20033, but I am on
Vista HP 32bit and only started having those
after the latest update (version 2015.010.20060).
I do realise Adobe's code is closed-source,
but are you in any state to discern what was
introduced in latest update that started causing
me those issues? Could an updated version of your
user33.dll be compiled so as to address those?
As a workaround, I have downgraded to version 2015.010.20059
(which works totally fine on my system) and renamed
\plug_ins\Updater.api (to Updater.api.BAK) so that
it won't auto-update to 2015.010.20060...
Of course I can stay put at that version,
but it'll become less secure as time moves on...
Anyhow, many thanks for your efforts so far...
Most kind regards
