How to install 2 Versions side-by-side

I have adobe 5.0 installed -- it's the full package, with Distiller, pdf printer, writer, etc.  I need to install Reader v9.  I do not want to overwrite the ADOBE WRITER 5.0 installation.  I want to use the ADOBE 5.0 writer/reader as the default, and use adobe 9 reader only for special documents that won't download or save otherwise.
I'm using XP SP3.
How can I do this?

If you have XP, you can right click on a PDF and select Open With to select the default program for opening the PDF. However, if Reader is running in the background (it would appear as AcroRd32 in the task list), then you will likely get the PDF to open in Reader anyway. When you start Reader, it does not generally totally remove itself from memory when you close it. I believe there is a setting in the options for not retaining par in memory. Right now I do not show Reader 9 in my system. I also have PDFs to automatically open with AA5 on this machine. When I can not open the file in AA5, then I revert to AR9, but only then. I have to take extra steps to open in AR9, but I like this method. When I need more control, I go to one of my newer machines with a newer version of AA.

  • How to install owb server-side software on UNIX Solaris (SPACR-64)?

    Hi there,
    How to install owb server-side software on UNIX Solaris (SPACR-64)?
    I've read the install guide
    and it mentions
    3. Start the installer by entering the following at the prompt:
    cd mount_point
    ./runInstaller
    I don't have access to any graphical interface on the UNIX box e.g. x-windows nor any cd with the software, just the solaris software downloaded from web - does this include the runinstaller
    and is the runisnatller just a command line interface?
    I hoped I would be able to download the software from oracle website and then simply run the a setup scrip?
    Is it possible to do this? Would I simply substitute cd mount_point to cd <directory I put software)
    I've never ran oracle universall installer on UNIX before.
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    You can install the server-side software from the downloaded software.
    You don't need the CD
    You do need an X-windows client on your computer to connect to the server OR work directly on the server.
    Without X-windows you cannot start the Oracle Universal Installer.
    Maybe there is a command line installation, I have never used this.
    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for reply..
    Actually i uninstalled the existing version of Flash Player from my Windows 8 PC, but when i tried to install the older version, it was not allowing me to install and was showing that my browser is included with latest version.
    Even i followed the below given websites, it didn't given any remedy for it.

  • How to install demo version of Voicedial?

    ok, i am perfectly new to iphone. i have downloaded demo version of the Vocedial onto my desktop. i have no idea how to install it onto the iphone 3g. please, be specific in your instructions, i am a total noob.
    yes, i do have itunes and can sync. just have no idea how make them find that program.
    will appreciate.

    well, like i always knew it: WONNA THINGS DONE RIGHT, DO THEM YOURSELF
    in order to install application that was not downloaded from itunes store, pop up itunes, then click on file>add file> browse to the file> click on file>add it. now it'll be in itunes library and itunes will recognise it.
    go to your phone in itunes>on the top of the window go to applications>you should see your file now. check "chose application to sync" then check whatever application you have in the large pan now>click on sync down at the bottom. of course, you must have your phone connected before you do all this. then it does its magic.
    dear apple, how hard and much of an effort was it to put something like this into your manual or into FAQs on your website? as bad as germans are with their product, they are more user friendly on directions.

  • How to install previous version of FC

    I have an imac 24" 2007 edition, Apple dropped support without warning for this computer when it upgraded to FC to 10.1.
    Unfortunately, the App marketplace did not detect that my computer was incompatible and attempted to install 10.1 anyway. Not
    only did it not upgrade, but it ruined the funcioning version I had on my computer.
    The question is how to install the previous version of FC since it is not available on the App store?

    The earlier versions of FC were definitely compatible. I did get an error message when I tried to download the latest version, however, it did not say anything about it being incompatible. It just gave me a generic error message after it partially downloaded the app.
    After a few attempts, i gave up and decided to keep my previous version. Except now, every time I try to launch FC, it reconnects to the app store to finish the download. The previous installed version does not work.
    I need apple to post a link so that I may download the previous version, I paid for the software, I should be able to use it.

  • How to install P6 version 6.0 & P6 version 7 on the same PC

    HI All
    I am trying to install P6 version 6.0 & P6 version 7 on the same computer, but only the recent installation works.
    If I try to repair one of the version installations, the other does not work.
    Some body please advise.
    Many thanks
    Rikesh

    The reason is,
    The key registry entries are common and shared by All Client Versions on your machine and not separate for each installation.
    Even if you being an expert find a method of running multiple versions, the chances of having problems in future are very high.
    Note:
    Oracle Primavera may not provide full support in case something goes wrong on a machine having multiple P6 client nstallations.

  • How to Install Trial Version of Tasmeem on Indesign CS 5.5?

    Hello folks,
    I'm thinking of purchasing the Tasmeem add on for Indesign CS 5.5, I've downloaded the file which is an .exe file, I can't seem to figure out how to install it on Indesign, any ideas?
    Here's the application I'm talking about: Arabic typography in Adobe InDesign with Tasmeem Full Pack
    Thank you.

    Hello Peter,
    Yes, I'm using Windows 8.1, I did double click on the file and run it as administrator but all it does is open a blank window called Tasneem which has no options to do anything, and nor is there any sign of it in Indesign itself when I restarted it.  I wonder if I'm supposed to place it in a certain folder, I did place it in the Indesign Plugins folder but it still did not show in Indesign upon opening.

  • How to install oldest version of mac osx

    guys i need to install oldest version of mac osx
    im using 10.6.3 but i need to install back to 10.5.8
    please help me out

    but i need to install 10.5.8
    coz my connectiv box driver approve only 10.5.8
    According to Mactracker, given the size of the screen and the CPU speed your MBP could be one of these models:
    - MacBookPro5,1, which originally shipped with OS X 10.5.5
    - MacBookPro5,3, which originally shipped with OS X 10.5.7
    Since they originally shipped with OS X 10.5, the system disc that came with your MBP may have 10.5 on it. If so, you should be able to do a reinstall from the original disc. If you do a full backup to another volume before you do that, you can recover your data from the backup to your MBP. However, some migrating some of the data (such as Mail messages) may be tricky due to format changes.

  • HELP! How to install two versions of the same driver???

  • How to install old version of Java

    Hello,
    I need to install an old version of Java for a program we use.  I know, they really need to update it but they aren't going to update it within the next few days so I'm trying to get this to work.
    Is there any way to install Java 1.6_35 or lower?  I'm having problems finding the download for it and getting it installed.  I'm running 10.8.4.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Thanks for the yahoo link... although I think Google or even Bing is better.
    I'm still looking to see if it's possible to install that version of java on OSX 10.8.4.
    None of those links have the dmg file (at least the first 10)  Good try.
