Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe

Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning  tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader  11 is removed  from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is  like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11.  also tried:
1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled  2. installed from different locations  3. removed adobe key from
local machine and tried to install

Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines.  However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE.  Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

  • I'm having trouble accessing my pdf.  Error message:  "There was an error opening this document..."

    Hi
    I have been working on a pdf in Adobe Reader 9.3 on 2007 Microsoft Windows v5.1.  The pdf is set up as a form that I can enter data into.  Last time I worked on it I saved it, and then when I went to open it the next time I had the following error message:  "There was an error opening this document. There was a problem reading this document (14)."
    I have tried to recover the pdf by going to www.datanumen.com/apdf but when I try to repair the pdf I get another error message:  "Xml parsing error: not well formed (invalid token) (error code 4), line 12874, column 20 of file."  The second error message looks like the problem has been pinpointed but I don't know how to fix it.Could you please let me know if there is any way to recover this file?
    Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!!

    Thanks for the information.
    Could you please also let me know which version of Adobe Reader are you currently using. If you are not using Reader 9.4.6 (which is the latest version of Adobe Reader), can you try updating to the latest released version by
    1. Launching Adobe Reader
    2. Clicking on Help > Check for Updates
    3. When prompted click on Download followed by Install.
    This will update Reader to the latest version.
    Also, please verify if this issue that you are facing is with a specific PDF alone or is the issue happening with all PDFs that you are trying to print from Win7.

  • Error Message: "There was an error processing a page.  A file I/O error has occurred"

    Hi
    I am running Windows XP on a lab top for a while. Just recently, every time I opened PDF files, I was getting an empty page. So, I installed the latest Adobe Reader. After that I started getting the error message "There was an error processing a page. A file I/O error has occurred".
    Does anybody have a solution to this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I found my problem. My down scale quits, but quits as in not showing it's working. (I was confused too).  Most all files can not be seen until fully downloaded. For whatever reason, perhaps a glitch or the new modum or video card.  When downloading do not interupt as in wanting to view a page, but go to Network and Sharing Center (bottom right hand corner - click the computer running symbol) and click View Status. See Activity. If the numbers are rolling you are recieving. Waiting until it is complete.  This is madding, but I've learned to live with it.
    Hopes this helps.....

  • Can't print to my Canon Pro-100. Get error message:There was an error opening your printer. Printing

    Can't print to my Canon Pro-100. Get error message:There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be availableuntil you have selected a printerm and reopened any documants.

    Your printer driver is having problems.
    Resetting Photoshop's preferences sometimes clears it up (by removing previous print settings that the driver is supposed to read, but sometimes fails at).
    Otherwise you'll have to work with Canon to figure out why the driver is misbehaving.

  • How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?

    How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?  This message shows up 3 times when I boot my iMac.

    I do have a USB hard drive hooked up to the Airport.  I've never created an AppleScript for it.  Should I disconnect the USB drive and see if I still get the error message?
    Thanks for your reply!

  • I'm getting an error message "There was an error when opening this document. Access denied" on some PDF's that I was able to open in past. Uninstalled XI and installed X but same problem. Any thoughts?

    I'm getting an error message "There was an error when opening this document. Access denied" on some PDF's that I was able to open in past. Uninstalled XI and installed X but same problem. How can I access these files?

    I have exactly the same problem. The interesting thing is that the file opens when I attach it to an email and open it out of the email. I already saw the advice you provided in  similar post from Aug last year and checked the security settings of the file and the folder. But according to that I have all rights.

  • I have an iMac G4 with AirPort with OS 10.4.11 installed. I keep getting an error message "There was an error joining the AirPort network "ATT5216." I called ATT U-verse - they were stumped. Any suggestions?

    I checked for the IP address, and I'm not pulling one
    up.
    That's the problem. Even with no base stations available you should eventually within a few minutes get a self-assigned IP of 169.x.x.x!
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106659
    Maybe you could manually configure an IP but that doesn't answer what's wrong. How about a simple test - create a new Location in Network System Preferences and see if that helps. If it doesn't then maybe a re-install of Airport or System software would help. If the Airport shows up as an available network port then the card is probably OK.

  • In AOL email, checking individual messages in the regular system results in this error message: There was an error loading the message. Please try again later.

    In accessing AOL email through the full version, I can navigate within my account (old mail, new mail, spam, etc.) fine, but when I try to open an individual email, I get this error message: "There was an error loading the message. Please try again later."
    This is identical to a problem someone else was describing in another thread....unfortunately, nothing you suggested to him seemed to be working. I WAS tricked into opening a file attached to an email immediately before this started, so I think its a virus or something. ANYWAY....I AM able to open the messages when I use AOL's basic version. Initially, the problem seemed only to be in Firefox, but I've tried with Internet Explorer now also, and its the same thing, and the basic version is accessible while the full version is still blocked.
    On both browsers, following the error message, I can't even click on the individual messages to TRY to open a different one, and there are some not-quite-right boxes and x's and things that appear on the screen that don't belong.
    PLEASE tell me you can't make this go away....I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox....that didn't work. I've also fun McAffee, and that didn't change anything.

  • Error Message: There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.

    I've tried Command Q to close;  Tried Adobe Reader Tool Bar but closing is grayed out;  I'ved held the power button for hard close, but everytime I try to open a .pdf I get this message: 
    There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.
    I'm not extremely technical, but I can follow directions if someone can help!
    Thanks

    Looks like it got stuck.
    You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
    You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.

  • Error message: There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (110)

    I opened a pdf document in Adobe Reader X. When I attempted to scroll through the pages the following error message appeared, “There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading the document (110). After an Internet search to try to find the reason for the error and a solution, I came across a site that suggested it was an issue regarding the fonts of the document. I then reopened the document and went into the document’s font properties (FILE – PROPERTIES – FONTS tab). There I noticed that the “Gathering font information” stopped at 2% which, of course, I took to mean that Adobe Reader X was having a difficult time in loading the font’s information. Another site suggested opening the document in the pdf reader, Foxit. So I did, and the document loaded properly with no error messages. I was still curious as to why the document did not load entirely in Adobe Reader X and if the same problem would occur using a different reader. I then downloaded the pdf reader, Nitro Reader 2. I opened the same document and initially received the following message, “The requested page number is invalid and does not exist in this document.” I closed the message and proceeded to scroll through the document. As I scrolled, the following message appeared, “This file was damaged (corrupted) and has been repaired.” I thought, “Wonderful!” I then chose <FILE – SAVE AS – PDF DOCUMENT> and saved the “repaired” document under a new name. When I opened the “repaired” document with Adobe Reader X, behold, the document opened entirely with no error message. I was curious, so I went into the document’s font properties and noticed, this time around, that the “Gathering font information” loaded to 100%. Nitro Reader 2 detected the error and fixed it. Now I’m left to wonder…why wasn’t Adobe Reader X able to do the same? I hope this post helps others who are experiencing the same issue.

    When I encountered an error "there was a problem reading this document 110" in Acrobat Pro 11 on 28.7 MB CS6 file, it indeed was very frustrating.
    I solved my problem, but since I don't know which step benefitted me, I've to enumerate all the steps I took:
    Read below:
    1.1. I could copy the file anywhere on the drive, but couldn't 'save as' from Acrobat Pro.
    1.2. No document security was applied of any sort on the file.
    1.3. Still in the first tab of the document properties, all details under advance section were empty. No 'PDF Version' 'location' 'file size' etc were populated. Nothing.
    1.4. I couldn't change and save anything in any of property dialogue. I could comment on the text, but as soon as I tried to save, it gave an error (some sort of 'File reading' error).
    1.5. When I tried to extract a page (I tried many), it gave 'reading error'.
    1.6. I didn't try 'splitting error'. Since I was 100% sure, it'll give me same reading error.
    1.7. I opened the file in Firefox and tried saving it as pdf from there. But no error, but no save either.
    1.8. I ran 'Remove Hidden Information' from protection panel without any errors.
    1.9. I tried 'sanitize document' from the same tab, but didn't succeed.
    1.10. Then (here I think the problem was resolved), from Document Processing panel, I did some commands. 1st, 'Export all images', successfully. Then 'Remove all links', it found 0.
    1.11. Then in 'print production' panel, I clicked/tried to open acrobat distiller. The same opened, did some processing. But I don't know if it did something in solving the problem or not.
    1.12. Although I think my problem was resolved till now, but the last step I did was 'Saved As' the file (from the file menu) as a .ps file. Though I've not yet reopened/used that ps file (to convert it into a pdf file again). But around here I wanted to close the file and it asked me whether I wanted to save the file, I said yes. And it saved the file correctly. And I checked that in properties dialogue, the missing information was populated too.
    1.13. Sorry for so lengthy instructions, but I had no choice.

  • When I try to open up a PDF document, i get the following error message: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" AArrgh please help as I need to open up my documents. Thanks.

    When I open up a PDF Document all i get is an error message saying: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" I dont know how to fix this, so looking for some advice please, as I really need o open up my documents.
    Thank for any help.

    The documents I’m trying to read are already saved on my computer, under various different headings, I know that we have a server, so I only assume these documents are saved on here, as I said before I’m not good with all this techno stuff. I do my work each week ( on a payroll system) and save the documents for each company, they automatically go to the correct place. I never request for them to be saved in a certain place ( well not that I’m aware of) . I then on occasions need to open up this information, it is then that I can’t read or open the documents. We do have a tech help, but they are off sick until the 5th Jan, hence me trying to work out if I can fix this problem through this help site. Its ADOBE Reader that I’m trying to use.

  • What does the update download error message "there was an error downloading this update" mean?

    Trying to download and install updates to CS5.  Everything looked normal, got the progress bars for downloading and installing the updates.  Then at the very end received message that the update failed to install because there was an error downloading the update. This has happened repeatedly. Just completed a clean install of the OS (Win 8.1) and CS5. Appears the update manager created the required folders. A subfolder for each of the CS5 apps was created in the  AAMupdater folder.  Each of the apps had a subfolder, but contained only a XML file.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    do you have any security/firewall programs blocking the adobe updater?
    could also try to download the updates directly from the website. Adobe - Premiere Pro Updates
