Unable to open pdf files without changing the acrobat path manually in referat.conf

What steps are needed to reproduce the problem?

1. Install LibreOffice/Openoffice on Windows XP/Windows7
2. Install WollmuxBar and Wollmux-Config
3. Launch Wollmuxbar and click on the pdf form on one of the Wollmux Menu "Bees"

What is the expected result? What happens instead?
Pdf file should be opened. But however, instead, an error message pops up as in the attached file.

Which version of the wiki was used? Which version of
Openoffice.org / LibreOffice? Which operating system?

1. Wollmux 11.10Rc1 or 12.3rev snapshot
2. Wollmux-Config-10.8
3. Libreoffice 3.5.2 or Openoffice.org 3.3
4. Operating system - Windows XP or Windows 7

Please provide more information here:

The acrobat path is read from the referat.conf which refers to older version of acrobat. The pdf could not be opened if the version in the current machine does not match the path hardcoded in the referat.conf.
Manually changing the path in the referat.conf works. But it would be better if the Acrobat path is read from the windows registry instead, so that manual user intervention is not required.

I am raising this issue after confirmation from Christoph.
