Nick,
Do you actually need to do this? Surely if you use Nikon Capture or
NikonView, you can just enter the fact that you want the files displayed as
Adobe98 instead of NikonAdobe in the 'Settings/Color Management' dialogs
where you set the default color space? And if you use Nikon Transfer, I
think it will also embed Adobe98 for you, but I can't verify that at the
moment.

Here are the notes Richard posted some time back on this issue. I used
his technique for renaming the actual Adobe RGB file, and have had no
problems since.
Quote follows >>>>>>>
For those who want the "real" Adobe1998 profile embedded in their files
(and not the Nikon "equivalent"), it's relatively easy to do without
resorting to PS to assign (or "null convert") profiles. This has no
functional significance, other than to decrease confusion among those
receiving the files who might otherwise think that the profiles are
significantly different.
The Nikon Adobe1998 (aka NKAdobe.icm) and bone fide Adobe1998.icm files
are very similar, but they are not exactly the same. Nikon, for some
inexplicable reason, left out the "Media black-point tristimulus"
setting,
which should be 0,0,0. Everything else is essentially identical to the
bone fide Adobe file. Therefore, instead of modifying the Nikon file to
have the correct non-Nikon, pure Adobe name inside (but with incomplete
media settings), use a copy of the real Adobe1998 file to replace
Nikon's
file (NKAdobe.icm). Rename the copy of the Adobe file to NKAdobe.icm
and
replace Nikon's version. It should work fine, as Nikon's software is
just
looking for a profile with the correct name.
