I am trying to install Acrobat 7. I get an "ERROR 1303" telling me about lack of priviages so on. It said I need to be administrator in order to install to a particular file. I am set as administrator, it is my home computer.

I went to Abode's support page and it told me how to go into "cmd" and manually assign full access. I did this but I get the same error. I am using XP home.

Any suggestions.

Hi Ian

How are you attempting to install the Reader? Have you downloaded the setup file called "AdbeRdr70_enu.exe", or are you using Adobe's Download Manager?

Are you sure you downloaded the right version?

Where are you trying to install it to?
It is Acrobat 7 Pro. I clicking on the setup launcher ( version 6.6.2488.0) and it starts to install it but stops part way through, with the "error 1303". I am installing to the main C drive, in it's own folder
.
