Assuming your Mac isn't BRAND new, try launching in OS9 and install from there. Acrobat 4 came out before OSX so it probably is confused in the 10/Classic environment. Also, when you are launched in 9, (not Classic running under OSX) do you experience the same problem? I know the newest Macs won't boot up in 9 exclusively. Mine won't, but anything short of the Quicksilver with the chrome door and the four "Buick" port holes in the front will boot in OS9. Just go to your System Preferences panel and select startup disk and go from there. As long as you are booted exclusively in 9 the installer should work. Otherwise, If it is within your budget Acrobat 6 will run natively in OSX. I still run Acrobat 4 in Classic mode, but I also have 6 on my machine. The only reason I run 4 is because of Acrobat In-Production. It has great preflighting and color correction tools so I still find it worthwhile, despite the fact they took In-Production out of production over a year ago. Good luck!

I've opened "Classic" environment (I think...) but only get to the point where Acro appears to be installing, then freezes. At that point I can only force quit. FWIW, same thing happened when I tried to load GoLive 5; bought 6, no problem with compatibility. Any assistance greatly appreciated.
You need to upgrade to Acrobat 6 - or at least 5.0.5
