My problem on WinXP SP2 is that running the Adobe Reader 9 installer seems to do nothing except update my modem driver.

I of course turned off NOD32 before installing (adivsable for any Windows user to turn off any AV apps before installing any program). The progress bar appears to show the program installing, but after the device driver installation wizard runs, the whole process quits and no copy of Reader exists anywhere on my system. Tried it with both the download from the Adobe Reader download page and the file from the FTP site suggested above, with the same results.

I use Firefox Portable 3.0.1---I refuse to use IE---and it's not updated with the plug-in (though I'm not sure that's terribly surprising). I've been trying to find a copy of Reader 8, which is not to be had from the Adobe store because all links and buttons lead to the Reader 9 download. >:-( This is taking far more time than it needs to.
