llreader - glad you got it working. I had issues with ADE on my iMac last year, and got so frustrated with Adobe's installers (I also use Photoshop Elements).

I upgraded to a MBP and didn't have an issuing installing ADE recently, but the update to 1.7.2 did hang the first two times I tried.

Toxaris- I'm sure the Apple/Adobe relationship doesn't help matters, but Adobe has persisted in using buggy old installer scripts for way longer than the rest of the Mac world. I was shocked to download Photoshop Elements last year and it was still using VISE installers, which go back to OS9 and PPC. For a paid product from a software vendor of Adobe's standing, that's pathetic.
