Is that really the message that Windows gives you?
What is your Windows version?  What is your Windows Installer version?

  • How can I download adobe reader 11

    I am running windows 7 and can't download adobe reader. The download stops about 75% of the way through the process and a message says  that Windows installer does not permit updating of managed advertised products. At least one feature of the product must be installed before applying the update. I had reader installed but uninstalled it because I could not print documents. Every sense I uninstalled it I have not been able to install it again.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

  • Can't download adobe reader 9

    I have a new computer with Windows Vista and I can't download Adobe Reader. Whenever I click download it says I have a shortcut on my desktop to resume download and whenever I try to resume download from that shortcut it just closes the window.
    any suggestions?

    I don't think the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility can do anything in this case. Download the full Adobe Reader 9 installer from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe then install it.

  • I can't download Adobe Reader in my Mac OS X 20.9.4.

    I can't download Adobe Reader in my Mac OS X 20.9.4.
    I have tried everything. I used Safari and Fire Fox, have enabled Java Script,
    and I have even tried all options suggested via helps.adobe.com and
    nothing seems to work.
    Please, help! Thanks!

    You can try using the full offline Reader installer from

    If that doesn't work, please explain in detail what happens when you try to download Reader.
    And I hope you meant OS X 10.9.4...

  • How can I download Adobe Reader if it will not accept my password?

    How can I download Adobe Reader if it will not accept my password?

    I have spent more than 3 hours (over 2 on your ask the expert where I waited forever and got about 5 minutes of Santos' time!)  He transferred me to this area where there is no one to help me.  I can't adjust my thermostat until I update my adobe reader and can't do that because your website will not take my password.  However, adobe.com will take it.  So what the hell do I do?????

  • How can I download Adobe Reader 6.0?

    Hi,
    I have some forms that I can fill in and save with Adobe Reader 6.0. Some of our computers have Adobe Reader 8.0 and these same forms can be filled in but not saved.
    Everytime I supposedly download Adobe Reader 6.0. . . Adobe Reader 8.0 downloads.
    How can I download Adobe Reader 6.0?
    The computers are newer and are running Windows XP.
    Thanks!!!

    If you cannot save the forms with Reader 8, you cannot do it with Reader
    6. Perhaps you had Acrobat 6 which is a commercial product as opposed to
    Reader which is free.

    Explorer is a Microsoft, not an Adobe product. You can download it from
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/download-ie
    For installing Reader, you may try downloading its full installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Can't download Adobe Reader

    I have been trying to download Adobe Reader and keep getting a ‘UI_Installer’ dialogue saying ‘Only a single instance of this application can run’. I have tried different download sites and different browsers but just get the same. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? I have had previous versions installed on my computer but have uninstalled and can't find any trace of them now

    You may want to try the following.
    Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using  the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Then, download the Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and perform a clean install.

  • Link to download adobe reader for windows Me

    hi i still run windows Me,and i erroniously uninstalled adobe reader.could someone pkease please direct me to alink that i would be able to download adobe reader to my system.

    Windows ME compatibility was dropped after Adobe Reader 6, and the Adobe website doesn't supply versions prior to 9.
    You can however download the installer for Adobe Reader 6.02 from the FTP archives:
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/6.x/6.0/enu
    Customer support for Adobe Reader 6 was stopped long ago, so it will not be updated to protect against security issues.
