Installing Acrobat 9.0 taking FOREVER??!?

[Dov Isaacs]

Although the Acrobat 9 Pro installation does take a tremendous amount of disk space
(of which nearly 725MB are the installation files so that Acrobat can "self heal"
when there are problems), that does not account for the two hour installation cited.

I have performed Acrobat 9 Pro Extended installations on nearly a dozen systems and
none took more than about twenty minutes (all installation options were selected).
Perhaps on the system in question, the disk partition was highly fragmented? That
could account for extended installation times (although even with fragmentation,
two hours is ludicrous).
