SV: Installing Acrobat 9.0 taking FOREVER??!?

[Jacob Schäffer]

If Windows Explorer try to re-connect to an unavailable share or other
ressource on the network it sometimes goes completely banana and try to
re-stablish the connection upon many file operations and window re-paints.
This is also true for the some of the FileSystem objects used by the latest
generation development tools such as Visual Studio and the .NET platform.

In this situation both installation processes in general and simple file
operations can take forever because of long timeout-values related to failed
credential-lookup :-)

Sometimes it takes my system several minutes just to delete a 2KB file 
using Windows Explorer. I assume that the registry is being updated in 
hundreds of places.
