yes, this error occured first, with version 9.3 of the Adobe software,
but i should have been fixed in ProTeXt-2.2.3. Therefore:

- Make sure that you've download the recent ProTeXt-archive
ProTeXt-2.2.3-091410.exe . You'll find it on every CTAN-Server, at least
under ftp://ftp.fernuni-hagen.de/pub/windows/win32/ProTeXt/

- If everything fails, you can start the individual setup-routines
manually, by entering the concerning subdirectories (i.e. .../MiKTeX ,
.../gsv , .../TeXniccenter , ...) and klicking on the appropriate setups.

Good luck - Thomas
