I cannot install Reader 9.1 (just downloaded today) on my MAC. My os version is 10.5.6. At the end, I get a message saying "The installer could not create the folder /Users/Shared"".

I looked at the /Users/ directory and there is a alias there for shared so, I cannot create a folder to "help" the install along.

I see nothing on the knowledge base on this and searched this forum for this issue to on avail.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Den.

Is there a Users/Shared folder (there is supposed to be one). If not 
create one as an administrator (or root if necessary) and set its 
properties to:

system (Read & Write)
wheel (Read & Write)
everyone (Read & Write)
