Does the error message appear before or after you install Adobe6 reader?
Are you downloading and then installing -or- trying to install while the
setup package is downloading? Suggest downloading the setup program and
then installing (a good practice no matter what downloadable program you're
installing).
I searched the Adobe technical support documents for the error message
you've reported and did not find anything relative. Closest match said that
errors during installation are often related to a bad download. Obtaining a
new download and retrying the installation was the recommended solution.
Adobe also has user support forums, including one for Adobe Reader:
