The floor is down and looks beautiful but I am having a great deal of difficulty removing the adhesive that got on top of the wood floor during installation.

Acetone works wonders on most adhesives. Try applying it to a scrap piece before you go ruining the floor though.

Be very careful with strong solvents. I take it this is a prefinished floor? The best thing to do is ask the manufacturer of the floor or glue what will remove excess glue safely.
Most likely mineral spirits will be adequate and safe for the finish. Better to test it on some scraps. Make sure the finish does not soften.
Keep the doors and windows open while cleaning up and wear an organic vapor respirator.

removing glue might properly be a complicated technique. attempt to be sure notwithstanding if the adhesive is a water base gadget or a solvent base gadget. one way of doing that's to pour heat soapy water on the adhesive to be sure if it helps to melt it up. If that technique would not artwork, attempt a dash solvent which includes LePage PolyClens or LePage Poly super Strippa on a textile to be sure if that helps to melt the adhesive, taking care to no longer injury your floor. Glue that has been in place for an prolonged time will improve into quite complicated and the only thank you to do away with it might desire to be by ability of abrading or sanding the adhesive down.

Acetone takes off superglue from stuff. Perhaps you can test it to see it if works and doesn't ruin the floor.
