Acrobat Pro 10 will not install keeps rolling back

I am attempting to install Adobe Acrobat X on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine, it will not install, gets all the way to the end and then just starts rolling back says the installation was interrupted and that no changes were made to the system.
I ran the msi from the command line with verbose logging on to see if I could figure out where it fails but couldn't find the error (towards the end it lists many errors but it seems to just be a list of possible errors, not sure but I definately have admin right and ran the msi as an admin so at least those two don't make sense).
I don't understand why its not installing but I'm really ticked its not at least telling me why its not installing. I had adobe reader and flash on the computer and I was afraid they might be newer versions than just straight Pro X so I uninstalled everything adobe on the computer and it still won't install the Pro X.
Can someone take a look at my log file and see if they can tell what I'm doing wrong? It would be very appreciated.
Thanks, SW.

One thought. Have you tried downloading the updates (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows) and installing directly, rather than doing updates through the help menu?

  • Acrobat Pro will not install

    Okay, excuse my lack of patience. But I have now called Adobe customer servic (in India, and I'm in the U.S.) three times now, and I have not resolved this issue! I am a Creative Cloud member, and my Adobe Acrobat Pro will NOT work. On top of that, the Adobe Application Manger is $%@ useless. I get errors constantly. I'm on Mac OS 10.8.1. My other Adobe software works. But Acrobat Pro has not worked at all since I purchase Creative Cloud a few months ago. At any point, if Adobe would like to fix this issue, that would be great. Like I said, I've already called three times in the last two months. And the low level tech support guys are useless. I spend an hour or two on the phone with them and the issue is NOT resolved.

    So, it totally appears as if it was a network issue. The corporate network where I work is quite likely the culprit. Where I was thrown off is that since I have admin rights on my computer, I can install software. But using Adobe Application Manager to install Adobe software wasn't working. And to make matters worse, there didn't appear to be any way to install Acrobat Pro for Mac without using AAM. The workaround that I used previously was to install the trial versions of Adobe software, and then just register them using my username and password. But the workaround for being able to install everything using AAM was to bring my computer home and download from my home network. Unfortunately, Adobe tech support didn't suggest this during the three times that I called them. But it doesn't matter now, problem is resolved.

  • MBAM 1.0 will not unistall (keeps rolling back)

    Hello,
    I am trying to update MBAM 1.0  to 2.0 but i am unable to uninstall. It will go though the motions of uninstalling but then it rolls back without any errors. Does anyone have any thoughts on how i can fix this issue without losing any data? I am running
    Windows 2008 R2
    Brian Gallagher

    Check the issue in the log file created in the temp folder.
    You should un-install MBAM 1.0 by running the MBAM 1.0 installer. Make sure each and every components of MBAM 1.0 remains intact and go in a sequenced manner. Only un-install the MBAM Administration Server.

  • Acrobat Pro will not install on my PC..

    Error Msg. "Acrobat Installer encountered an unexpected failure. Please try again. If it continues to fail, contact Adobe Support."
    I've tried several times over the past week to install, but still the same result. Is there a number I can call. I'm paying for software that I cant ultimately use at this point. Thanks in advance. SuSheela

    Hey,
    Anti-virus software can sometimes slowdown the installation process. If you disable your anti-virus during installation, you can re-enable it on completion of installation process.
    Please try disabling it and also let me know from where are you trying to download Acrobat pro (what version)?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)

    Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)
    Acrobat Pro 9 will not install (FAILED), although every other program on the CS4 DVDs did install properly.
    I have followed the instructions, and have tried with no programs running, not even virus protection (which is an insane thing for Adobe to demand of a product being installed where the installation routine is expecting an Internet connection): FAILED.
    I uninstalled my Acrobat 6 Pro, (a standalone Pro version that I had to have  a few years ago.) I uninstalled that working program knowing I had no idea where my original Adobe Acrobat CD is located, so I was essentially cutting myself off of Acrobat Pro if the Acrobat 9 Pro install continued to fail.
    I reported this to Adobe support online.
    I have followed the instructions to disable startup items and services, then tried the Acrobat 9 Pro install: FAILED.
    At that point, I gave up installing Acrobat 9 Pro. I didn't have any more time to screw with it - I would re-visit the installation failure later.
    Lo and behold, a client sent me a PDF file of a brochure, in an email, and I had to grab some text from it to put on his website (Done in Dreamweaver CS4.) Well, damn, now I'll have to go back and get that install to work...FAILED!
    Suspecting a problem in the installation routine on the DVD, I decided to download the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro. So, I did. It downloaded and installed without a hiccup, and I had Acrobat 9 Pro working for 30 days...
    I did what I had to do, using the trial version, then figured I would re-visit the installation issue later, when I had a few hours to dedicate to all the hell of calling Adobe software support, handholding, maybe registry edits, multiple reboots, and multiple attempts at doing everything again, just so the support person would know that I did follow all the steps correctly to prove thw outcome is sill FAILED!
    Oh crap, I got another PDF file. No problem, I thought, I don't need to edit the PDF, just read it. When I tried to open the file, Acrobat 9 Pro plastered a screen over the program - the screen saying my 30 day trial version has now run out, demanded a serial number, or quit. My CS4 serial number would not activate it, and so I had to quit, not even being able to read the PDF file.
    So, I un-installed the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro that had installed without a hitch and had worked flawlessly for 30 days.
    Now I'm going to have to visit hell, and get the software that I paid hundreds of dollars for to work...
    Please STOP and NOTE: Acrobat 9 Pro installed perfectly from the downloaded Internet version. What does that tell you? There are no operating system issues, no hardware compatibility issues  (which I knew anyway, as the OS and hardware is up to date.) Even more significantly, there is no issue with the Windows registry, or other versions of Adobe Acrobat that had been installed before in the machine. My conclusion was that it has to be a problem with the installation routine on the CS4 disks.
    So, I spent an hour on the phone with Adobe personnel: software support, to customer service, to sales, to customer service, and back to sales. After software support came to the conclusion that I needed to UNINSTALL ALL OF CS4, and run a clean-up utility, I knew I had to try getting a new set of DVDs and hope the installation routine problems/bugs had been worked out.
    After being batted back and forth by Adobe Customer Service and Adobe Sales, I finally got someone to agree to send a set of DVDs to me.
    I got the DVDs. I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: FAILED
    As I told the software support person, I do not want to un-install the entire CS4 suite. I have all of those programs working fine, and have about a dozen web sites within Dreamweaver CS4 painstakingly set up and active, and some of them are current projects that I am working on daily. I also have multiple extensions installed, and spent quite a bit of time getting all of those programs set up for my preferences and my work flow. I DO NOT WANT to uninstall the entire suite of applications to get Acrobat 9 Pro to install.
    And the conclusion of the "sophisticated" Adobe Support Advisor as to what specifically was the instalation issue?
    Adobe Support Advisor
    The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.
    If you continue to have difficulties with the application,
    please contact Adobe Support: http://www.adobe.com/support
    System Information :
    Operating System = Windows XP
    Locale = en
    At this point, what I want is to know what registry keys to edit and which folder(s) to delete to eliminate previous traces of Acrobat. In other words, just exactly the tiny piece of the "clean-up utility" that I need to run in order to allow the *Y#^%@#&#(& installation routine to work for Acrobat 9 Pro. I have no intention of uninstalling Dreamweaver CS4, as that is my business livlihood, and I know that my Dreamweaver CS4 client files/sites could not be read by earlier Dreamweaver versions. Asking me to uninstall Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, and Fireworks is insane. Your bad installation routine is not my fault, and you cannot expect me spend countless hours getting all those programs set up the way I want and with all my client/work files working correctly and all the extensions set up properly. So, if Adobe software support refuses to tell me what registry keys need to be changed, then I want Adobe Sales to send me a new, standalone version of Acrobat 9 Pro on disk.

    I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version.  For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running.  I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:
    Programs that are currently running on your computer may be interfering with the installation processDisable programs that might be interfering with the installation process. To do this, follow these steps:

    Click OK, and then click Restart.

  • My Acrobat Pro will not open my PDF Files any suggestions?

    My acrobat pro does not open, anyone else out there with the same problem?

    Sherbear2359 (I believe that the US has the right to arm bears so I will be very nice.)
    My Adobe Acrobat stopped opening pdfs. Now in the past it was Windows 8.1 playing tricks by thinking that the Adobe software was a trial which expired
    Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite Tried it and it worked.
    Tried the fix again now no change.
    I suspect that a Microsoft patch stuffed it up. They have had a few problems.
    I used Reader with open with but I want pdf to be opened by Adobe.
    Thanks

  • Mid 2010 Mac Pro will not install 10.7.3 update

    Hi all,
    My Mac Pro (Mid 2010) will not install the 10.7.3 combo update. I use the software update tool to download the update, it goes to reboot. It starts loading the update in and at the very end it will tell me none of the updates can be installed because an unknown error has occurred. I have tried multiple times and had the same result.  It also will not install any other updates such as the Airport Utility and iTunes update.  This is a work computer so I think it is important to have all the updates installed on it.

    Then the problem is:
    You have Apple Pro RAID controller
    A software RAID
    Lion Recovery should be on one of your hard drives, not RAID.
    Do a clean install of Lion on one of the other hard drives you have
    Anything else we should know about your setup? controllers do matter.

  • Acrobat Pro Does Not Install

    We are using TCS 4 on a Windows 7, 64 bit platform.
    When we installed TCS 4, we did not get Acrobat X Pro (nor XI).
    So, I inserted the installation DVD to see if I could just install Acrobat Pro, and the Adobe Installer would not proceed because it detected an installation of TCS 4 already.
    So, I uninstalled TCS 4 (a 30 minute ordeal), and proceeded to install it all over again, this time hoping to verify that Acrobat Pro was, in fact, selected in the product check list.
    In the product check list, Acrobat X Pro was indeed selected in the product check list. Installed it all over again (another 30 minute ordeal).
    Saw the statement: Installing Acrobat X Pro.
    When the installation was done, saw the following: "Some items for the following product(s) could not be installed successfully." (PDF icon)
    Acrobat X Pro did not show up under programs, by itself, or in the Control Panel (Programs and Features).
    Went here for update:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/tech-comm-suite/kb/tcs-4-update1.html
    Saved zip file to hard drive. (A 549 MB download.)
    The Installation Instructions were in a PDF, which my system could not read since Acrobat X Pro did not install.
    Followed instructions on URL above.
    Double-clicked "Set-up.exe" in the unzipped files.
    Adobe Installer hung up at about 2/3 of the way through "Initializing Installer" (it stops dead).
    Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks!

    Thanks Jeff.
    We finally got it to work. This is what we think happened: We closed most of the applications on our computers--but not all--when we started the Adobe Acrobat installation.  If the installation process popped up a window that told us to close some specific app, we did.  However, in our case, we also use Lotus Notes.  The Acrobat installation process never told us to close Lotus Notes, so we left it up and answered emails as we attempted to install Acrobat.  But, as I said in my original post, the installation never finished, and we never knew why. Finally, we tried closing 100% of all applications--including Lotus Notes--and we were able to install it without any trouble.
    Naturally, all of our testing might have resulted in a sheer coincidence that it finally worked when we did A-B-C, but at least it finally installed.
    Thanks again!
    Tim
