BrowserHawk 4.x is detecting Acrobat version 4 but not 5. Why is this?

Unlike detection of browsers themselves, detection of plug-ins and other advanced settings is controlled by the component itself, not the browser definition files.
Since Acrobat 5 did not exist at the time BH 4.x was made available it was not possible to code the component to detect it.
The latest version of BrowserHawk, on the other hand, does detect Acrobat 5 and later. In addition, staring with BrowserHawk 5 a new property called Plugin_AcrobatVerEx was added. This property gives you the version number of the Acrobat plug-in installed for all browser types.
