We've encountered the following issues:

Installer was unable to copy a critical file/:directory. Please try installing again.

I've checked permissions, I've verified disks, I've made sure Avast is off....

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for the quick response!!!!!

I have no idea what just happened. I was looking for activity monitor - I'm not sure how to get there... anyway, as I was trying to find it, Adobe Application Manager started updating and then the app started to download. It's at 91% now.

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the help!!!
