Adobe Acrobat 9 installation rediculousness

I had to reinstall Winblows XP due to a rootkit. I die an fdisk and reformatted the hard drive on my Dell Inspiron D630. I am in the process of installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. I have been sitting here in front of my computer for over 30 minutes. The time remaining meter has displayed less than 5 minutes for the last 25 minutes. This is an install on a perfectly clean os installation.

I hate Acrobat and would not use it except no other package handles the OCR as well that I have found. Adobe Acrobat is bloatware. Now it is at 20 seconds remaining where it has.been for the last six minutes. Adobe blows and sucks.
