Cannot update Acrobat Pro to 9.3.2 from 9.3.1

I am attempting to update Acrobat Pro to 9.3.2 from 9.3.1. Downloading the update, I am met with this:
The patch has failed because the application has been modified since it was originally installed (for example, plug-ins may have been disabled).
Please go to the Adobe support website for more information regarding how to re-enable disabled components prior to installing the patch. Or, you can uninstall and reinstall the application, and then reinstall the patch.
Where do I find this "information" on the Adobe website? If Vague is an island, Abobe must be on it.
Any solutions others have found?
Uninstall and reinstall is a solution? Been down this road 16 months ago and it was a full afternoon on the phone with tech support in India. If this is the only solution offered, I am fine at the current crap unsafe version from Adobe. Unless of course Adobe is prepared to pay me for my time.

I am a sys admin and have always had problems with Acrobat for many many year. I have spent 3 hours on the phone with tech support. Pushed out a new build with nothing else on except the base OS and still fails in the update and tried everything and yes im not a standard user, this is my job i build macs day in day out in 30 minutes flat, scripting, packaging the lot.
You can see in the log it tries to download an update with an incorrect url http:/ when it should be http:// this is really terrible and just shows there is no UAT at all. Yesterday another tech support just told me for another full suite that just dragging the apps to the Trash is a normal uninstall method. The tech support guy today told me Acrobat comes with all CS5 product but thats incorrect because it doesn't come with Production Premium!
Adobe i believe your Acrobat team is separate from other teams and i understand why you have had to break it off from the suite but come on this has been going on for so many years now its beyond a joke. You should fix it once and for all or at least get version x working with combined updaters like other vendor and offer free upgrades from 9 to 10.
What is the point going on about all these extra features and security fixes if no one can even update the product! Spend hours on the phone with untrained staff with poor product knowledge and waste every ones time because i am a very experienced sys admin and get sick to death of Acrobat updates which rarely ever work!
Also the system requirements for the update only goes to OS 10.6.3 and even the latest 9.4.1 only goes to OS 10.6.4 So even if every one can some how get i working its not even going to work on a 10.6.5 OS... pathetic so stuck no one listening, tech support don't listen. We just need an alternative good competitor then i am not buying or dealing with Adobe ever again!

Cannot update Acrobat Pro

Hi,
When I try to update Acrobat Pro to the newest minor version (9.3.3), I cannot complete the operation due to a dialog box that appears in the background, and cannot be moved to the foreground. To complete the operation I should click a button in this dialog box, but it is impossible and I must force-quit the updater.
This bug was already in the previous version of Acrobat, and despite I and others reported it, it is still there. Maybe someone knows how to solve the problem without waiting for a fix?
Paolo
As you see, the lower dialog box stays in the background (and cannot be moved forward).

I'm having a similar problem. I did check in Adobe support and could find nothing related to my issue. In Fact, several support search responses directed me to this forum.
When I try to update, at some point in the repair I get a dialogue box that is titled "Repair Setup." It just sits there, won't go away won't let me check or uncheck anything in the box or move it. From this discussion I got the suggestion and tried running the repair command under the help menu. This at least lets me check of uncheck the checkbox and click cancel or continue. This box asks whether I want or don't want the Acrobat plug-in in Safari. I definitely don't want it there. When I uncheck the box it says it has removed it, but the dialogue box stays in place in the center of my screen until I reboot the computer. If I re-run repair Acrobat, it once again lets me check or uncheck and tell it to cancel or continue. So, I tried telling it it could install the plug-in. It then told me I had to quit Safari. So, I quit Safari and tried again, but it keeps telling me I have to quit Safari even though I have already quit Safari.
This is hugely frustrating. It makes me want to make sure I never try to upgrade Acrobat again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Cannot update Acrobat Pro 9.3.0

get the following message
The patch has failed because the application has been modified since it was originally installed (for example, plug-ins may have been disabled).
I went to the Adobe support website and found no solution. Is this a Snow Leopard problem? Shouldn't it have been resolved by now? Does anyone have a fix?

Thanks but I've tried this already. The results are varied even with the JPEG set in greyscale settings. I've actually been through all of the various image options trying to get a good result. Occasionally the photo on the front side scans correctly while the reverse side looks as if it has been through a black and white photocopier. The engineer had the same trouble when scanning, its not just me! I'm not filled with confidence when a engineer shrugs his shoulders and says "I don't know"
The only way I have been able to get around this is by downloading and installing the trial version of Kofax Express.
Been using Kofax Express all afternoon today and the images look great. I've spent more than two weeks trying to get this sorted, two weeks of putting jobs on hold and telling customers they'll have to wait..
I can't possibly wait any longer. If this is a common problem then someone needs to provide the documentation. Either way I've spent a lot longer on this than I'm prepared to..

Cannot update Acrobat X Pro

Installed Acrobat X Pro in Windows 7. Downloaded update and tried to install. Got the following error message from the Adobe Acrobat Updater: "Update failed. The system cannot open the device or file specified." No error number displayed.
I then tried the Adobe update troubleshooting procedure: reinstall Reader or use a different browser (IE8 & Firefox 4). Still cannot update Acrobat. I was unable to check the Reader as no updates were available.
What do I do nex?. Any help would be appreciated.

Acrobat version 10.0.0. Three updates are available 10.0.1 through 10.0.3. Downloaded by Acrobat "Help" and "Check for updates..." Is there another help menu to download from? I assume these are downloaded together. How can I download or install one at a time? Where is the downloaded file located? Where do I find the Adobe Updater? Is there any way to do this download/install process manually?
While troubleshooting this problem the error message changed when I tried the install:
This is now the only message I get. It appears that the update is being downloaded correctly. I tried the Microsoft Fix It wizard as recommended in the Adobe Troubleshooting page -- didn't work.
And I still can't download updates. Still need help!

Cannot update Acrobat 8.0

Hi.
I have a problem. I have installed Adobe CS3 Design Premium on my computer.
(Windows XP SP3, 4GB Ram,250GB HD with 205 free space, Intel Core 2 6600 CPU)
I cannot install the updates for Acrobat. Everything else updated. I had a corrupt profile, which may have caused some errors, so I uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 on my current good profile. Still I cannot update Acrobat 8.0 Professional. Acrobat Reader is not installed.
I get bootstrapper errors when I do the update process within Acrobat:
(Adobe BootStrapper for chaining multiple patches. has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.)
I tried the .msp files, but they are not recognized by Windows. (This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package). I have tried the sequential steps and they don't work. Starting with the first msp file (AcrobatUpd810_efgj_incr.msp)
When I go into Help, About Adobe Acrobat Professional, I get Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0.
Can anybody help?

Can't update Acrobat Pro 9.50 to 9.5.1

Tried updating Acrobat Pro 9.5.0. to 9.5.1 through auto update and downloading the update. Both give an error to reinstall the app because something has changed since the last update. Something to do with plugins. Tried to repair Acrobat installation and remove Safari plugin also. Both don't work.
At this point I don't want to re-install Acrobat 9. I get the feeling i'm going to have more problems. Also why would I have to reinstall the program? What is that all about? This has happened before while trying to update a version and I get the failure and reinstall. Anyone have any suggestions.

You could try creating a new account using the instructions here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404927.html. Update Acrobat from the new account and see if the patching works now.
Also, could you please provide the log files for the failing patch. To obtain the log , follow the following steps:
1. Clear the contents of /user/library/adobe/logs folder
2. Open Console, located in the Applications- > Utilities folder.
3. Update Acrobat to generate the error message.
4. Check the console for error messages and save console log file
5. Go to /user/library/adobe/logs and share the patch log file

Trying to update Acrobat Pro

I received a notice that I needed to update Acrobat Pro (my OS is Windows XP Professional) and tried updating and the install got hung up. I tried killing all the apps to clear it out, but still get a message that an install is already running when I try to update Acrobat Pro, but I can't find any other apps that are running the install. Can someone assist me? I even tried going into the Control Panel to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat, but got hte same error message that an install was running.

Immediately after updating Acrobat Pro XI to the latest version, the software no longer displays images in pdf docs. All the boxes where images are supposed to be are solid grey. Old documents that worked are no longer displayed correctly and new documents I make do not display images. All grey boxes. Worked fine before the update. Suggestions?

Hi precious_star,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
Open Acrobat and go to "Edit > Preferences > Page Display" and check whether 'Show large images' option is checked.
Is this issue specific for one PDF?
If possible, please share the file with me via email so that I can also check at my end.
I have sent you a message with my contact id details.
Hope to get your response.
