WOW!!! I finally got it to work!!!!

You can see from my previous post the kinds of troubles i was having. If you're having similar problems....here's what worked for me.

Go to
 <http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301>
and download the Microsoft Installer Clean Up utility.

Run the Microsoft Installer Clean up utility and remove only any references to Adobe.

Then you can install the reader 8.0, and accept the license agreement without any problems.

It worked for me, and I was about to give up on this!!!
