How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

Hello!,
I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
Thanks,
Marcus Bale

Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.

Why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory

why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

What is your operating system & version?
If you are on Windows, download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click 'Change Destination Folder' and the first install panel.

How to Install Acrobet Reader 9 on Different Drive

Does someone know how to direct acrobat rader 9 toa different drive when installing? It always defaults to drive C. I want it on drive D. Help!

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of references to registry files in \Windows\System 32 from within Reader. The registry keys likewise point to a program in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader folder.
Unless you are capable and willing to go in and rewrite the code for each and every single reference in every last file of the program so that they reference a registry on a separate drive from the program itself, and vice-versa, you will find that it won't work, and if it does it'll keep crashing, and giving you errors all the time.
There are portable readers which are designed to run without the registry references (like from a Flash drive) but they won't function as well as Reader in every case.
You might want to try running your disk cleanup, defragmenting your C:\ drive, and running a compression to free up file space.
Another thing I like to pass along is a"deep cleaning" Disk Cleanup tool
Disk Cleanup can clear out a lot of old, unused, and junk files from your hard drive. Things that clutter up the drive, and make defragmenting take a lot more time than it should. Here's a neat way to clear up more unused files on your system than Windows™ Disk Cleanup utility will do on it's own:
c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sageset: 1
c:
cd \
cd c:\windows\prefetch
del *.* /q
Copy the code above and paste it into a document using Notepad or Wordpad (Do not use Microsoft™ Word™, or Corel™ WordPerfect™). Save the file as "clean.bat" (minus the quotes of course), a Windows™ batch file. To do this click, Save As instead of Save, and choose all files from the File Type drop down menu. Save it to your desktop.
Double click the batch file, and it will open a configuration tool for your Disk Cleanup utility. You will see a lot more checkboxes in the list than your regular Disk Cleanup shows. Check EVERYTHING. Don't worry, these are all files your system doesn't use.
Once you have clicked all the checkboxes, click OK and the window will close. You have now set your Disk Cleanup to thoroughly clean your Hard Drive.
Now we need to go back to the batch file. Right click it, and select Edit. It will open in Notepad or Wordpad, depending on which one you made it in. When it opens, go to the first line, where it reads "sageset", and change it to "sagerun" (again, minus the quotes, of course) and save it. You don't need to choose a destination or file type. Just save it.
Now double click the batch file again, and it will run the Disk Cleanup with your deep cleaning settings.
Copy the batch file to your documents folder and any time you need to run it, just double click it. Now here's another tip that will free up a lot of hard drive space on top of the deep clean.
Also:
If you open the regular Disk Cleanup (Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Disk Cleanup), when it opens there is a More Options tab at the top of the window. Click the tab, and at the bottom you should see a section referring to System Restore and Shadow Copies (Vista) or System Restore (XP).
Click Clean Up to remove the extra restore points and Shadow Copies of Windows™ that are stored on your hard drive for system restoration. Don't worry, this will only remove all but the most recent restore point.
You should see anywhere from 3.5 to 14 gigs of hard drive space freed up once you do this.
One last thing:
If you have a C:\ and a D:\ drive, the D:\ drive should ideally be used for file storage.
In other words, all of your pictures, movies, documents, saved e-mails, etc., anything that ISN'T a program... should be on this drive to keep your C:\ drive working better:
All of these files opening and closing on the C:\ drive will lead to fragmentation of your C:\ drive and that will eventually cause the whole system to slow down, and could kill your hard drive.
Additionally, you mention that you are low on space on the C:\ drive. That's another bad thing. I've learned over the years that you should never let a working drive (as in one that is running your operating system or even one that holds files you access daily) get below 25% free space. The caching of files as you work on them gets extremely slow if the drive has to jump back and forth between sides of the actual discs to record changes as you make them. This is much less likely when you have 25% or more of the drive free.
Your documents, pictures, music and movies will open from the D:\ drive where software won't always. It's easier to move your files to the D:\ drive to make space than to install a second OS and then reinstall all of your software.

I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive.

I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive as my C drive is much smaller than my storage drive.

Still, you can install the Reader folder on any drive you want using the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Use the Change Destination Folder button at the bottom of the install panel.

How to install acrobat reader on other drive than c:

Couldn't find any possibility to install manually and so have the choice of the drive. The installation starts automatically with the download. How can I change this?

This is a four years old topic; it's really far better to start a new topic and supply all information.
Download the installer you want from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
If you need an installer version that is not offered on that page, navigate the FTP site from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/

How to install Adobe Reader on the D drive?

I have to install the Adobe Reader program on a disk D, but I have not asked, and they set it on the C drive. How to solve this problem?
Message was edited by: BENQ LSDM 19\"W T91W 5MS S

You should be able to select a custom location on the second install page by hitting the "Change" button. Still, some components will always end up on your system root drive. It's inevitable and for Reader the difference would be minor....

Problem installing Acrobat Reader on Mac with Mavericks (with error)

I tried ALL the ways to install Acrobat Reader on my Macbook with Mavericks, nothing worked!
It says "Error 301" or something like that and I already tried to download the enterprise version, the offline version, to change the login settings of my macbook. Nothing works...
All started when, at a certain point, I don't know why, it stopped working opening pdf files, saying "error, the file could be damaged or you need an updated version of Adobe Acrobat Reader", so I uninstalled the app and tried to install again. It was when I realized that the mission was harder than I thought!
Please, if anybody with the same problem solved it yet, please please share it with me!
Thank you!

I'm sorry, part of it is in portuguese!
How can I post here the install.log file?
Thank you so much!
PS: Apparently the error now is different, with no number ..

Unable to install Acrobat Reader 9.3.4

What ever I do, Acrobat Reader 9.3.4 installation won't execute. The file would open and process, but thereafter; nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 using Revo Uninstaller just to make sure that there won't be any issues with the latest installation, but no changes. I've tried downloading the latest version via the download site, but no go. Anyone else having similar issues as me? I've checked the forums here and other forums to find a solution, but I'm unable to find any. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Mahalos in advance.

Hi,
I can't install acrobat reader but it seems it's for a different reason from what I'm reading in these posts. When I download it everything seems fine until I try to open it by clicking on the icon or try to read a PDF file. The Adobe reader license agreement pops up, says that I need to accept it before I continue, but there is no accept button!!! I try to scroll all the way down and nothing; there is no accept button!! I've tried uninstalling it and installing it again, same thing. I've tried the link posted in this forum and the same thing happened. It's really getting on my nerves. Can you please please help me?? It just seems so basic, but I'm totally stuck! Any help will be much appreciated!!!

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

How to install mountain lion with a different apple ID?

More information would be helpful. If you are going to use a different Apple ID, you will need to buy Mountain Lion again. If you have a computer that has Mountain Lion installed, but Mountain Lion was purchased with a different Apple ID you must use the original Apple ID to download Mountain Lion.

Windows Installer error while trying to install Acrobat Reader 8

I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 off the CS3 disc. I already have Acrobat 8 Professional (8.2.3) installed. I just need the Reader. Whenever I try to install the Reader I get the following error, "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnal for assistance."
I have tried all the Microsoft fixes for this situation, but I still keep getting the error message. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured out what was wrong. I had disabled User Account Control (UAC) when I was tweaking my OS. So I enabled UAC again and was able to install Acrobat Reader 8 without any problems.
