I have spent 30 minutes trying to get either ver 8 or version 9 of Acrobat Reader to install on a fairly recent clean install of XP Pro Sp3 machine. I need to use Acrobat Reader for a application rather than another reader and want to know why Acrobat Reader 9 fails to install properly because Error 1406 could not write key...

Installing it under an Administrator account.

I had even worse problems with version 8 as the install exe file that I downloaded from Adobe stalls at 1% at the progress bar!
