Got a wierd problem here, can't seem to find anything on google about it.

I'm trying to install Adobe Indesign CS.

The program runs through the install process fine and immediately afterwards either the installer program removes the files it just installed.

I've got a little clip of a filemon log I took while the program was installing.
Here it is creating the file..
Code: 
PM	zidxp.exe:2100	CREATE	C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS\Samples\Womefd93.rra	SUCCESS	Options: OverwriteIf  Access: All	
108792	1:10:18 PM	zidxp.exe:2100	OPEN	C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS\Samples\	SUCCESS	Options: Open  Access: 00000000	
108793	1:10:18 PM	zidxp.exe:2100	WRITE 	C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS\Samples\Womefd93.rra	SUCCESS	Offset: 0 Length: 32766
And here it is deleting the file..

Code: 
116705	1:12:23 PM	zidxp.exe:2100	CLOSE	C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS\Samples\Womefd93.rra	SUCCESS		
116706	1:12:23 PM	zidxp.exe:2100	OPEN	C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS\Samples\Womefd93.rra	SUCCESS	Options: Open  Access: All	
116707	1:12:23 PM	zidxp.exe:2100	QUERY INFORMATION	C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS\Samples\Womefd93.rra	SUCCESS	FileObjectIdInformation	
116708	1:12:23 PM	zidxp.exe:2100	DELETE 	C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS\Samples\Womefd93.rra	SUCCESS		
116709	1:12:23 PM	zidxp.exe:2100	CLOSE	C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS\Samples\Womefd93.rra	SUCCESS

This is being installed using a legitimate key for Adobe, all of the other components install fine, but for some reason Indesign is uninstalling itself.
 
I've seen this happen before, and it was becaue the app in question figured out that things were not totaly legit.
 
Dang, thats so wierd.

I suspected that was why, but what I dont understand is why it's doing this with a legitimate copy and license key.

I guess I'll be calling Adobe tomorrow heh
