Thanks. It worked. For anyone who might be wondering, the sgc10.exe file I mentioned above was not in the same directory as AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe. Unfortunately, I cannot say now exactly where it was because the Download Manager log that I had been looking at has vanished (due to the successful install?) and I still don't know what it does. Also, for anyone who might be wondering, MD5 is like a fancy checksum computed from a file. It would catch accidental corruption of the downloaded file, but is not good enough to defend against malicious changes. I am still wondering where Adobe gives official instructions on downloading AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/.... How do people find out about this except by seeing someone else post something about it in a forum?
