I too was getting these errors. I downloaded a distribution copy on another machine, transferred it to my flsh drive, and installed it that way. However, GetPlus does appear to be a hinderence rather than a "plus".

GETPLUS is a piece of BLOAT that Adobe adds to their products that is also "GNDN" [GOES NOWHERE, DOES NOTHING] - In Other Words, it is NOT Necessary.

It allows Acrobat and Acrobat Reader and other Adobe Bloatware to automatically download installation packages that we OUGHT to be able to download straight to our desktops instead of going through GETPLUS.

GetPlus = DELETE IT.

To totally get rid of it, open a COMMAND window in c:\Windows and CD up to "\Downloaded Program Files"

Do a DIR and find the file GP.INF - Open it and find LOCATION of GP.OCX.

Then DELETE GP.INF and find GP.OCX in the c:\Windows\System area of files and delete THAT as well.

When you are done open REGEDIT and locate any references to GP.INF or GP.OCX and delete THOSE as well.

Finally, I would ask Adobe to, rather than add BLOAT to their programs (which we are forced to use) - GIVE US a direct link TO THE INSTALLER FILE, and let us choose when how and where we WISH to install our Abobe BLOAT products.
