A well known bug with Adobe. You need to disable updating. If you are on a broadband connection of some kind that means disconnecting the cable and starting ID. Under Preferences>Online Settings set to Never update. Then reconnect to the internet.

Easier way. Before installing block all outgoing connections with your firewall. Then disable updating as above.
