This is ridiculous.
I also am experiencing this problem.
I am an IT contractor, and have a client who has an old Celeron laptop. Has wanted a new laptop for a long time because he keeps getting these miscellaneous errors.
I have eventually convinced him to buy a brand new super expensive laptop that will be so fast and so great he won't have any issues.

I take it out of its box, turn it on, install Windows updates, uninstall the pre-installed Adobe 7, reboot, install (well attempted to) Adobe 8. errrrrr.... WTF?!?! Brand new 1-hour old laptop and Adobe 8 won't install. What was the point in spending all this money on a new laptop?

And the worst thing is, I find out it is an old very common issue affecting a large percentage of Adobe's customer base, and yet there is no word on any hint of a solution for it????
