Vista - PowerShell week magazine PDF

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

I think the Scripting Guys just crawl in to work in a few hours...

Anyone else having problems viewing the PDF with Adobe? 7.0.8 seems to
crash when trying to read the doc. Happens both with IE 6, IE 7, and
Firefox 1.5.0.3.

I had the same problems using browser plugins, but it works fine using
Acrobat Reader. Try downloading it first using PowerShell:

$url =
'http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/8/e/88e33c81-dc33-4bc6-ba34-f8011d303be2/PSWeekMagazine.pdf'
$target = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($((get-location).providerpath),
'PSWeekMagazine.pdf' )
(new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, $target)

Yes , I've had this problem.
For what I have understood it was because I'd just upgraded IE6 to IE7.
What I've done is : in Adobe Reader, menu "?",click on "Detect and
repair".
I think I'd done a reboot after that.
All seems to work fine since.

I'm using Adobe 7.0.2, but _downloaded_ instead of opening from web, and it
works fine.
