I simply can't get Reader to install on my MacBook Pro. There's plenty of RAM and disk space, and I've run disk utilities to clean up any permissions issues. However, I'm still seeing the following. - The installer fails at the Postflight test - The installer leaves a receipt, and a small download app in the Utilities directory after the failure - The installer tries to do an upgrade on a second try, unless the remnant files are manually deleted Any ideas? thanks, Alan Here is the install log: Dec 27 16:47:14 Missy : @(#)PROGRAM:Install PROJECT:Install-138 DEVELOPER:root BUILT:Feb 16 2006 20:29:21\n Dec 27 16:47:14 Missy : @(#)PROGRAM:Installer PROJECT:Installer-94 DEVELOPER:root BUILT:Jan 13 2006 18:32:16\n Dec 27 16:47:14 Missy : Hardware: MacBookPro1,1 @ 2000 MHz (x2), 1024 MB Dec 27 16:47:14 Missy : Running OS Build: 8L2127 Dec 27 16:47:14 Missy : Adobe Reader Download Manager Installation Log Dec 27 16:47:14 Missy : Opened from: /Volumes/AdbeRdr80_DLM_en_US_i386/DownloadReader.pkg Dec 27 16:47:15 Missy : It took 0.959336 seconds to finish launching.
