Heres an Adobe technote that somewhat addresses the problem: <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=329137> It didn't completely solve things for me but it got me on the right track. I attempted the regedit solution and got permission denied errors when I attempted to delete the keys. I then attempted to change permissions on the keys and also got denied. Finally, I checked ownership (under the Advanced button on the Permissions dialogue). The keys were owned by some bogus user account. I reset ownership to Administrators and subsequently deleted the keys. Afterwards Acrobat 8 installed without a hitch. Hope this helps. Windows XP SP2 btw.
