I uninstalled Adobe Reader X to address a problem and cannot reinstall the software.

I uninstalled Adobe Reader X to address a problem and now I am unable to reinstall the software. Ideas?

OK - you can download the standalone installed for Adobe Reader directly from the Adobe FTP site.
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.2/en_US/
Save the executable file onto your computer and then double-click on it - the installer should run as normal.
If you want to install a different language, go to this address instead:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.2/

  • I am encountering crashes with Photoshop Elements 12.  If I uninstall and then reinstall the software, will I jeopardize the 100s of photo images I have already moved into the Organizer?  Any cautions for me

    I am encountering crashes with Photoshop Elements 12.  If I uninstall and then reinstall the software, will I jeopardize the 100s of photo images I have already moved into the Organizer?  Any cautions for me?

    If the app is designed correctly, the no, you won't. However, you'd have to ask the people who wrote the software, Adobe.

  • I uninstall Photoshop Elements 11 due to problems and cannot reinstall it

    Hi,
    I uninstall Photoshop Elements 11 due to problems and cannot reinstall it.
    When I run the installation setup file, the application offer me only to uninstall the previous installation.
    As there is no application available (as I uninstall it), the installation process stops.
    I've tried to clean the registry, manually uninstall using the Adobe recommandation for the Photoshop Elements 11.
    Impossible to obtain a recovery of the installation process.
    Thanks for helping
    Regards

    That's a tough one, and since you speak english and am not an Elements expert, I moved this thread to the Photoshop Elements forum.

  • I have Elements 12 on my pc.  I installed elements 13 but it will not boot up. Both products are registered with Adobe.When I sign in to 13 and then accept the software agreement it does not load.  Do I need to uninstall Elements 12?

    Pertaining to my question above.....I have uninstalled Elements 13 and then re-installed but I have the same problem as stated above.  Any ideas on how to solve my problem?  Elements 12 boots up just fine.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Uninstalled Adobe Reader 11.0.0

    For Adobe
    I have an iMac with OS 10.8.5 and I'm using Safari web browser. After I had INSTALLED Adobe Reader 11.0.0 I have experienced problems on several web sites where either side can not be displayed or may not be printed. Since I also have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and use it without problems on another iMac I decided to uninstalled Adobe Reader 11.0.0. I have moved it to the trash. I have emptied the trash and I have restarted the iMac. I've set Acrobat 9 Pro to be the program to use when loading web sites and I have reset Safari. Nevertheless, getting the message Adobe Reader blocked on this site.
    When I go into Safarie, settings, security, manage site settings appears Adobe Reader 11.0.0 still in the list of Internet accessories.
    I think that there still must be something on my iMac? How do I get it thrown out?
    With venmlig greeting

    Try this:
    Go to Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Locate the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
    Copy them to a flash drive or other removable media, and remove that media so it cannot be accessed by OS X.
    Trash the original files from that folder.
    Empty the trash.
    Relaunch Safari and see if it helps with PDFs.
    Open Acrobat 9 and see if it still works as it did.
    IF both work, you can "dump" the plugins from the removable media.

  • 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 uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0.8...keep getting "Error 1402" message..

    Hello. I use Windows XP Home Edition. I am trying to uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0.8 so I can then install version 9, but I am not able to uninstall 7.0.8. During the uninstallation process, I get the following error message:
    *****Error 1402. Could not open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39 F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D535}\Programmable.
    Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.*****
    I went to another forum and asked for some help there...the guy there gave me some steps to follow, and I did so. Here they are:
    1. Deleted "Adobe Reader Speed Launch" shortcut from Startup folder.
    2. Deleted the Adobe folder (which contained 2 other folders: Acrobat 6.0 and Acrobat 7.0) from C:\My Computer\Local Disk\Program Files. I had to use a separate program (provided by my helper who gave me these steps to follow) called "Unlocker" to accomplish this, since, originally, when I tried to delete this Adobe folder, I would get a message saying "Cannot delete pdfshell.dll: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." Unlocker solved this problem, and was able to delete the Adobe folder.
    3. Rebooted machine
    4. Ran CCleaner's registry cleaner
    5. Rebooted machine again
    6. Tried using CCleaner's "Uninstall" utility to uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0.8. When I tried this, I got the same "Error 1402" message as listed above.
    7. Backed-up my registry
    8. Tried to just delete this particular offending key using RegEdit...but when I tried, I got a message saying this:
    *****ERROR DELETING KEY
    Cannot delete Programmable: Error while deleting key.*****
    I really need some assistance with this...at the moment, Adobe Reader 7.0.8 still seems to be installed on my machine (it's still listed in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel, and it still shows up in CCleaner's Uninstall Utility)...despite the fact that, as I mentioned above, I used Unlocker to delete the Adobe folder from Program Files. Also, at this moment, no pdf files will open on my machine...so this is quite an urgent situation. Does anyone know what else I should do now? Is there something I need to do regarding the "Permissions" for this particular registry key?
    I appreciate anyone's assistance...thanks.

    Hi..I went ahead and ran the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. I used it to remove "Adobe Reader 7.0.8." After doing this, I checked in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to make sure that AR 7.0.8 was gone, and it thankfully was. Then I deleted the WICU, ran CCleaner's registry cleaner, rebooted, and tried to install Adobe Reader 9.0. When I tried this, I got the following error message (this occurred during the time when the installer was "writing system registry values"):
    *****ADOBE READER 9 INSTALLER INFORMATION
    Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39 F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D535}\ProgID.
    Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.*****
    What should I do now? Do I need to do something about the "permissions" for this key?
    Thanks to anyone with advice...

  • Uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3.2 in Windows 7 Pro

    In Windows 7 Pro I have the Adobe Reader 9.3.2 three times and want to uninstall 2 Readers.
    Over "Add or remove programs" I cannot remove the Adobe Readers, because no one Reader is existing there.
    In the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility version 5.5 I find only one Reader. I can it remove, but after this the Reader is on its old place. And the second Reader, I want to remove, appears not. Is the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility not suited for Windows 7?
    What can I do to uninstall 2 from 3 Adobe Readers?

    Many thanks for your helpful advices!
    Now I know, that after 9.3.0 first must be installed 9.3.1 and second 9.3.2. I see, this was the error and not the en_US/german problem.
    I have prepared 3 screenshots of my Windows 7, to show you, that I have 3 Adobe Readers in my Adobe folder under C:\Program Files (x86).
    Please see snap0003.jpg with the three Adobe Readers. In snap0004.jpg can you see my Add or Remove Programs: Adobe Reader is not existing.
    In snap0005.jpg is a screenshot from Secunia PSI. I had the Adobe Reader 9.3.0 and they offer me the update to 9.3.2! That brings me an update error.
    But my problem is, how can I uninstall 2 of 3 Adobe Readers. What can you say me to this problem?

    I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem.

  • How do I uninstall adobe reader from my iPad 4?

    I can only preview first page of documents on a website that says I should be able to open them in adobe reader. how can I fix this? Do I need to uninstall adobe reader and reinstall? How is that done on an iPad? I did update the reader, turn off iPad and restart. Made no difference. Thanks.

    I suspect that the particular type of your documents may not be supported by the Reader mobile products.  (However, you should be able to open them in the desktop version of Reader on your Windows/Mac computer.)
    Do you see an error message?  Could you provide a screenshot and add it to your next reply?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Silently Uninstalling Adobe Reader 9

    Hi all,
    I am looking to silently uninstall Adobe Reader 9 due to the same exact problems posted in the below link:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5c482
    *It's the C++ Visual Runtime Error due to the appdata folder redirection.
    Does anyone have a way to uninstall with either the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 (which I used to roll it out) or do I need to work with msiexec and it's parameters? I will be uninstalling from all Windows XP-based machines if that helps.
    Thanks,
    Joey

    Hi Masakonishimoto,
    You can try using tAcrobat Cleaner tool to remove all traces of previous version of reader:

  • After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software?  Adobe's instructions are only for Window devices.

    After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. I suspect corrupt software.  How do I uninstall and reinstall the software?  Adobe's on-line instructions are only for Window devices.

    You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove  the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.
