If there is a failure at any point during the installation of Acrobat Reader, the installer performs a complete uninstall. For this reason, it is important not to close the installer application by clicking its close box in the upper right corner of the background window after clicking the "Thank You" dialog box that appears at the end of the installation. If you wait for a second or two, the installer will automatically close the background windows after the installation is complete.

Next, the Adobe End-User License Agreement page comes up. Read the entire document and then click on Accept if you agree to the license, or Do Not Accept to abort installation. Once you accept the Agreement, the Install - directories dialog box will come up. You must make sure that the Installation directory has enough disk drive space to hold the program. The default directory is C:\ACROBAT3\READOS2. If you would like to change the location for Acrobat, do so now by editing the displayed text. Once you have chosen a directory, click the Disk space button. If the "Bytes available" on the drive for the directory you chose exceeds the "Bytes needed" number, click the OK button; otherwise, select another drive, then click the OK button. This will automatically change your installation directory to an equivalent directory on that drive letter. Once you have done this, you may click the Install button. When the progress bar completes, you should see a screen that says "The requested components of Acrobat Reader for OS/2 are successfully installed." When you click OK, the Installer should exit. Your installation is complete.
Once you have installed the Reader on your machine, you may delete the FILE file, or choose to leave it on a network drive where others can have access to it for installations. If you would like to distribute it on floppies, you will need to use the OS/2 BACKUP and RESTORE commands or some equivalent utility since the archive file is larger than what one floppy will hold.
You'll now have an Adobe Acrobat folder on your desktop. Double-click that folder, then double-click the Acrobat Reader program to start Acrobat. If you had trouble installing, check the file in the c:\os2\install directory.
