But when I install Contribute separately the installation finishes "with
errors" that are not explained. Then when my client tries to use Office
programs they get startup errors about Contribute .dlls being missing. What's
up with this? Why is Contribute putting things in Microsoft Office programs?
How do I get Contribute to keep it's hands to itself?
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Contribute CS3
Rename officeplugin.dll to officeplugin.dll.OLD
This works for me.
