11.7.700.169 install fails after download segment

[retinal_medley]

After the 1st failure I uninstalled my old version & rebooted. Tried again, same failure. So I downloaded & installed the archived version (fp_10.3.183.75_archive), which has been "Blocked" by my machine because it is an old version.

I've got:

1st gen Mac Pro (2006)  running Lion 10.7.5

2 X 2.66 dual-core intel xeon

7 G memory

Graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 MB

After browsing the forum I ran across this thread:

Apparently, the Online Installer sucks. I downloaded this guy:

...and it installed without a hitch. Thanks for nothing Adobe!
