You'd think that they would have worked out the issues by now.

The good news is that I'm not out any $ as the software was purchased for my
wife's PowerBook G4 laptop through her work. Of course, it installed just fine
on her machine even though it's going on six years old now. But, since Adobe
allows for single users to install on one laptop and one desktop I gave it go
on my Mac Pro. Well, that was an adventure.
I wonder if it has to do with the Intel chips on my first generation Mac Pro. I
know that others with identical machines were having precisely the same issue
as me. But, even folks with brand new machines were having install issues so
it's anybody's guess.
I'm thinking I might upgrade to Snow Leopard and see if that makes any
difference. It's totally counterintuitive since SN has all kinds of bugs
associated with it if you can trust the forum chatter. But, I probably give it
a go for a lark. At this point I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it would
do any good :-)
