Need to install Adobe Reader to a 64 bit folder and not (x86) default 32 bit folder

Hi
We have a program on our system which searches on local machines for their Adobe Reader in able to open up a pdf. Only one pc on our network is 64 bit and of course when installing Reader will default install to C:\Program Files (x86).
We need to be able to install AR to C:\Program Files to allow the databse to work on this 64 bit pc.
I have tried using the cmd feature and also adobe customisation wizard but to no avail.
Is there any way to change folder location on install?
Many thanks

The software is wrong? How do you mean?  The software by default tells the users computers to use Adobe Reader to open up the created pdf files by this program. This program has been designed for a specialist purpose and cost thousands. Unfortunately the default location is under the 32 bit directory which is Program Files on all the 32 bit machines which is just fine. Now we need the 64 bit pc to be able to run this software but changing the default location of where to find adobe reader would mean the 32 bit pc's would not work. To add another location would mean the designer of the program charging another huge amount (approx £300).
All I am asking is there anyway installing AR can override the default location in a 64 bit pc and put adobe in C:\Program Files as if it were a 32 bit pc?
Many thanks for replies so far

  • I need to install Adobe Reader to take a course but I cannot get it to work

    I am trying to take a 3 hour course online and I have to download adobe reader.  I have done this or so my computer says I have, but still cannot get the information I need to take the course to work.  I get a message saying "if the I need to install adobe reader".
    How do I get this fixed? I need this course in order to renew my tradesman license.
    Thanks

    Are you expected to download files from the course to look at on your computer or will all of the course be done completely online? If the course takes place entirely online, what may be needed is the Adobe Reader plugins getting installed properly in Safari. Since you're posting this in the Yosemite forum we can assume your using Yosemite, not Snow Leopard (10.6.8), so the plugins may not automatically be working. Assuming Reader has actually been installed, take a look at the instructions Adobe gives for activating the plugins.
    BTW, do you have "Adobe Reader" in your Applications folder?

    You are welcome, ameronweb.
    To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
    If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

    i cannot install adobe reader. I get so far and get the message "Error 1324. All folders or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again" can you help?

    We need to know if any registry settings are causing this error.  Please follow these instructions:
    from Windows Start | Search: type regedit and hit Enter; you will see a window like this
    now click on the little arrow ▹ left from HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Next click the arrow ▹ beside Software, then Microsoft, then Windows, then CurrentVersion, then Explorer, then click on User Shell Folders
    all entries on the right side should start with %USERPROFILE%
    If you have anything different, this may be the cause for the install failure.
    Now you need to repeat the same thing for another key:
    ▹ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ▹ Software ▹ Microsoft ▹ Windows ▹ CurrentVersion ▹ Explorer ▹ User Shell Folders
    Here all entries should start with %PUBLIC% or %ProgramData%.  If you have anything different, this may also be the cause for the install failure.

  • Issue: installed Adobe Reader XI, Norwegian version, existing pdf will not open or appear empty

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, but I still have the same issue. Adobe automatically gives me the Norwegian version as I live in Norway. When I open existing pdf files they appear empty, and automatically close themselves after a few seconds.
    Any idea how I can solve this problem?
    Your input is highly appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Thank you so much for your swift response, Pat! The first step – accepting the Eula license agreement solved my problem ☺ ☺ ☺
    Wish you a great day – you just helped making mine a lot better!

  • After installing Adobe Reader 8.1.2 system restarts and freezes

    After installing Adobe Reader 8.1.2 system restarts and freezes (hangs, locks up)
    I have Windows XP SP2, plenty of spare disk space and Adobe Reader 8.1.1.
    The 8.1.2 Reader appeared to install OK and asked for the system to be restarted. When I accepted this it shut down and rebooted as expected,
    but just before it was fully restarted it froze and I could do nothing.
    I pressed the power switch and tried again but the same thing happened again.
    To get back to a usable system I had to boot in safe mode and go back to a restore point.
    I don't know if this is relevent but it stopped just before Nortom firewall usually starts.
    I am keen to install the new version because of the security fixes.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in anticipation

  • Need help installing Adobe Reader, Error 1402

    Hello, this is my first time here at the forums.
    So my problem is obviously having trouble installing Adobe Reader X (Latest Version) I had to reinstall it due to this error,
    I've tried looking at these steps: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329137.html but they didn't work.
    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
    I get stuck at step 10 of More Solutions (Advanced)
    The error I get when I try to 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' is:
    Auditing - 'Registry Editor could not set security in the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys.
    The key that cannot be opened during installation is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\PDF.PdfCtrl.6\CLSID
    Notes:
    I've already set full permission to access this key.
    The 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' checkbox is actually named
    'Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object' on my Windows, I think it's basically the same thing, because it's in the same spot as the one in the support picture, so I'm just assuming that's Windows 7 and I'm using Vista which shouldn't be too different.
    I've already followed all the instructions correctly, and I don't have spysweeper, McAfee on my system or any viruses/spyware, I update Windows regularly and my AntiVirus is Norton AntiVirus which is updated as well, and this doesn't seem to interfere with the installation files as you can see this is a registry problem.

    Please confirm the Reader version and the operating system.

  • Need help installing Adobe Reader 11

    Adobe Reader will not update. I have tried following multiple forum help suggestions. I have received errors 1302, 1310, and one other. Usually get error 1310.  I am running Windows 7 Professional. The downloader will download the files , attempt to install them , gets to 97%-100% completed , then fails.  I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling. I have tried using the cleaner to remove all traces of Adobe files. I have tried fixing permissions. I have tried ensuring we are installing as admin. I have disabled Mcaffee Antivirus to install. I have tried installing adobe X (10) - which succeeded installing btw, and upgrading from there. In that case , the update immediately fails. I have gone into my folders to make sure admin has full access to the folder. I have tried downloading and installing multiple times as another post suggested.  I do not know what else to do. I can use Adobe X to view my docs but I want to stay up to date security wise. Please help !!!!

    Have you tried the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ ?
