Little complaint about an Adobe Installer

So I’m going through the download and install process of an Adobe product, which I’ve legally acquired, and somewhere near the end it prompts me to shut down “Google Chrome (chrome.exe)”. While I’m proud that you’re telling me the process you want stopped, it doesn’t help people in my situation who have cloud print enabled. I close down my browser, hit the <next> button, and expect it to work. Again, I get a shut down “Google Chrome (chrome.exe)” message. Certainly, you didn’t really mean that every person who has Google Cloud Print turned on (which runs magically by having a chrome.exe process run in the background), is expected to open up Task Manager just to kill the one chrome.exe that’s in the background.  And why did you want me to close chrome? So you could install a browser plug-in. C’mon! </Rant>
