Adobe Creative Suite Installer crashes

I have a Dual 1 GHz "Mirrored Doors" G4. I have OS X 10.3.2 installed with
all updates. I purchased the Adobe Creative Suite Premium (upgrade version)
a month or two ago, and today I finally got around to installing it - well,
TRYING to install it.

The Installer CRASHES when I click the "Next" button on the welcome screen
(which appears after I enter the administrator password). I've NEVER seen an
installer crash like this before.

It's possible I have some problem on my drive, although almost everything
else seems to run fine. The reason I'm a bit suspicious is that the "ReadMe"
TextEdit file on the DiskWarrior 3.0 installer CD crashes ITS parent
application when I try to open it (I can read it with MS Word - from Office
for X) just fine.

I've done the Chron jobs with MacJanitor and repaired permissions. As soon
as I make a backup I plan to run DiskWarrior on the boot volume. Anyone have
other suggestions to try.

Obviously, not being able even to INSTALL a $1,000 suite is a MAJOR PITA!!!
