I would say that it's more common to the operating system. The more you have going on in your background the more time Windows takes to do installs. And my experience has always been for long install times on Windows. I believe it to be a function of how the OS is structured and the registry.

Deletion of a file normally does not result in any registry modifications whatsoever! When you delete a file, changes are made to the directory entries and the space allocation tables on your disk partition. That should be it.

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 inst

I'd find that utterly believable. I'm sure that my registry is full of junk. I've been thinking about doing a system reload and reinstall for months, but I also know that it takes about 40-50 hours of productive time to get the box back to the state I'd wanted--reloading and reconfiguring all

I just re-installed Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extended off the Adobe TCS 2.0 and it took very close to two hours. Nope, nothing special, but the histogram just s-l-o-w-l-y crawled across the screen and a mere two hours later, it seemed to be done. Is this normal for Acrobat 9.0 or for the Tech Comm Suit
