I have WIN XP PRO with SP3. This is a new machine and is running beautifully except Adobe Reader 8 or 9 will not install.

At about 94% done the Adobe Download manager stops and shows the following Windows Installer message

The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package.

Of course when I click OK. I get the message from the downloader that "Installation operation completed successfully". Which of course is not true.

Can any one explain what is happening, and how I should address?
