I had the same exact problem. The installer runs but never does
anything. If you look in Task Manager you'll see it running in there
which is why you get the "Another instance of this program is already
running..." message. So click on that process in Task Manager and end
it (or reboot if you don't know how to do that). Then do the
following...


Right click on the installation package you downloaded from Adobe.
Click Properties->Compatibility, and then check off Compatibility
Mode, then select Windows XP (SP2). It should then install correctly.
