The remnants of some older versions of Adobe Reader/Acrobat can cause 9.3 to fail to install the plugin correctly, causing a "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser..." error. The solution that worked for me was to get wpkg WPKG to delete the "Program Files/Adobe' directory after uninstalling version 8. To do this, add the following xml XML snippet after the uninstall of 8.1.2.
<source lang="xml">
<!-- Delete the adobe folder -->
</install>
</source>
Note that you should not do this if you use other adobe software. In that case, you may need to delete the other reader/acrobat Adobe Reader folders in your Adobe folder/s
