It took me a long while to solve the issue, but what happened to me was: - My C drive was almost full, yet I tried downloading Adobe 9 - Adobe 9 Reader installer asked about some directory, I gave an E drive temp directory, but no other alternatives or chances to specify where to put it. Consequently, the POS started installing on C drive. - Installed crashed because of "disk full" - I couldn't figure out why it had still eaten up almost all disk space. No uninstallings etc. helped. Finally, after trying all possible uninstalls, cleanups, temp directories, etc. I found 113Mb unused crap it had put in "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop\Adobe Reader 9 Installer" I hope this helps someone else! I also recommend e.g. Foxit Reader instead. :-)
