Rodney is correct. In fact the DWF Composer installer will allow
installation until a previous DWF Viewer has been uninstalled from the
client's machine. However the next rev of the DWF Viewer product will allow
both products to reside side by side on the clients machine and each will
function perfectly as standalone applications. However when the ADV control
(shared by both products) is embedded in a web page, Composer will get
precidence when it is available on the user's machine. But there will be an
API available as well to force the HTML page to use DWF Viewer if it is
available.
