Start menu (e.g.
Start\Programs\SICStus Prolog 3.9.1) may not work immediately

C:\Program Files\SICStus Prolog 3.9.1\bin\spwin.exe.
Manual or Release Notes item in the
Help menu may give an error message similar to
... \!Help\100#!Manual.lnk could not be found. This happens when
Adobe Acrobat Reader is not installed or if it has not been installed
for the current user. Open C:\Program Files\SICStus

relnotes.pdf. If this brings up a configuration dialog for
Adobe Acrobat, configure Acrobat and try the Help menu
again. Alternatively, you may have to obtain Adobe Acrobat. It is
available for free from http://www.adobe.com/.

user with Administrative rights.

typical symptom is an error message asking for msiexec. The
