Cannot update, reinstall, uninstall 9.3.3 in windows 7 pro 64 bit

Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 will not successfully complete the update to 9.3.4. It complains about not having permission for a key (error 1402). Other forum posts and Adobe knowledge base articles do not supply a solution. When I try to uninstall Reader 9 completely, Windows Explorer crashes and restarts. When I try to install the update manually, it gives Windows installer error 1719. When I try to reinstall 9.3.3, I get a Windows installer error. I can install Acrobat reader 8, but when I update it to 9, and then apply the updates for 9, I get the same errors as before. My search shows I am not the only person having this problem. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

Maybe after repeated failed installations for Adobe Reader, your installation may have become corrupt; probably the reason why Windows is unable to uninstall the same from your system.
You can try and uninstall Adobe Reader using Microsofts Cleaner Utility (Its no longer supported by Microsoft):
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Download the application and install the same. From the installation directory(by default something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer Clean Up), run the following commands:
msizap TWA! {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A93000000001}
msizap GP
Just delete the Reader installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0) afterwards and you should be good to go. Hope this works!!

Cannot update or uninstall iTunes due to missing iTunes.msi file

I am trying to update my itunes 10.4.1.10 to the newest version. However, when I try to update or manually uninstall iTunes I get the following error message. I am logged into the admin account and on a wireless network. I've looked for the iTunes.msi folder in my iTunes folders and program folders but cannot find it. Also using Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is no longer an available option since Microsoft is saying that it damages files as well as fix them. Any ideas on what to do???

Also using Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is no longer an available option since Microsoft is saying that it damages files as well as fix them.
Nonetheless, it's the best game in town for this particular kind of trouble. So, just in case, I'll run you through my standard instructions for an itunes.msi variant (just in case).
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeksare worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I cannot update or uninstall iTunes with Windows XP.

I have an older OS (windows XP) and have been trying to update iTunes. I keep getting a message saying that Bonjour is on another network that I do not have access to. It then tells me that iTunes.msi is not available either. Now I am not able to sync my iPod.
I have tried to uninstall iTunes to fix the problem, but I cannot do that either. I get the same message about this missing Bonjour. I would really like to update, or at the very least get rid of this version to get the newer iTunes.
If anyone can help me figure out this problem, I would appreciate it more than I can say.
Thank you in advance (especially if there is some simple solution that I have either not seen or tried )

Cannot update or uninstall iTunes

When I try to update iTunes, i receive the following message:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes64.msi' in the box below.
I also have tried to uninstall from control panel and I recieve the same message.

Cannot update or uninstall iCloud - "files are on a network resource that is unavailable"

I am using Windows 7. This occurs after the Apple Software Update downloads the update (iCloud for Windows 4.0) The file size is 29.30MB
I tried to uninstall iCloud and get the same message.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
It is looking in my user directory AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\
When I navigated there, I found the file iCloud64.msi and selected it.
I then got a message that the file "is not a valid installation package for the product iCloud. Try to find the installation package 'iCloud64.msi' in a folder from which you can install iCloud."
Downloaded iCloud Control Panel for Windows 4.0 from another source and got the same error.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Cannot update or uninstall QuickTime

I am running QuickTime 7.6 in windows 7. I have tried to update it but it fails with an error message : "Error getting file security: C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\QuickTime 7.60.92.0\GetLastError: 5" every time and reverts back to the installed version. This also causes the iTunes update to fail when it gets to the QuickTime portion. I tried to uninstall it but get the same error. It doesn't matter whether I run "Uninstall" in the QuickTime folder or use the uninstall function in Progtams and Features in the Control Panel (both use the Windows Installer). I then tried to uninstall it in Safe Mode but, since this requires the Windows Installer, it won't run in Safe Mode. Is there some way to get around this?

I have the same problem, did you find a solution?

Can't update or uninstall Adobe Reader 9 on Windows 7

I keep getting a message to update Adobe Reader, but when I try I get a message:
'Adobe uninstall update failed could not open hkey-local-machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run\optionalcomponants\imail'
I tried also uninstalling it through the control panel. Shows it uninstalling with a progress bar and then the same error message pops up and the progress bar goes in reverse till finally there is no uninstalling of the Adobe Reader.
Is there some other way to uninstall and reinstall Abobe Reader? Are there instructions available somewhere to uninstall Adobe Reader manually which include the registry keys to unistall for Adobe Reader 9? I have seen step by step instructions for earlier versions, but I don't know if those would be the same for later versions like Adobe Reader 9.

Can you please try the following:
1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Vista/Win7Start -> type "cmd". In the section above you should be able to see a command.exe. Right click on the same and select Run As Administrator)
4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
ii. subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
Try updating Reader now, it should work.

Cannot update flash 15 on Mac. Password window is blank

Hello All,
I am trying to update flash on my mac (OS 10.9.5 with Safari V 7.1). The window where I would normally enter my username/password has no text and is unresponsive (see screenshot). I cannot enter my information. I tried running the uninstaller as well, and ran into the same issue. Any ideas? I'm a linux person, and relatively new to mac. I'm not sure if this an issue with Adobe or with mac.

I haven't seen this before. My primarily machine is the same config. This prompt is thrown by the operating system, which makes it really odd.
If you haven't tried it, reboot your machine and run the installer again.
If that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM on your mac:
OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Let me know how it goes.

Cannot update to Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 7 PC.

I got the following error message "Update failed. Error 1310. Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\7bf5e.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory."
How do I know if I have access to that directory? I am not an IT professional.

Download, unzip, then run the uninstaller from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then try installing the latest version using the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop. Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits. Error code is 2330. Can somebody please help me?

I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop. Everything was working fine until recently when there was an update available for iTunes, and when I tried to update this, I got the message, "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. Error code is 2330." Can somebody please help me?
System configuration:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
System Directory: C:\Windows\system32
RAM: 1.00 GB.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
