Solution 2: Select another install location
Restart the installation, but choose the standard install location if you had previously chosen a custom location, or try a new location, such as C:\Adobe CS5.

For example. you can download the trial version installer. The trial acts as a standard retail version when you serialize it with the serial number that came with your product purchase. Reinstall using this new installer media.
