Not Allowed To Install Adobe Reader 9

I'm using a G4 eMac with 640 megs of RAM running Mac OS 10.4.11. According to the system requirements, I should be able to install Reader 9 with no problem.
Download of the install package went fine.
I'm able to open the Adobe Reader 9 install, but then I get a message saying
"Adobe Reader 9 cannot be installed on this computer.
Make sure your system meets the requirements."
Help.

Thanks for responding quickly. It's definitely the Mac installer package (it's called "AdbeRdr90_en_USi386.pkg", and it does open up. And I downloaded it via the Adobe site, which asks which version of Mac OS is being used, prior to even allowing a download.

  • Frustrated because I keep getting "action list not found" when installing adobe-reader.

    1. I had Adobe-reader installed and working but kept getting pop-up screens telling me to update.
    2. Each time I tried updating, an error-message showed up "action list not found".
    3a. So I thought deleting adobe-reader and doing a fresh install might work.
    3b. Using Goggle-Chrome, I still get the same error-message.
    3c. Then trying Internet-Explorer as a browser, I still get the same error-message.
    4. The real problem now is I have no Adobe-reader at all and that will make my wife unhappy.
    5. Operating-system is XP; I don't know how to tell if I have SP-2 or SP-3 if that makes a difference at all.

    This problem has been resolved; ultimately, I found out via Googling that XP-SP2-32bit can only handle Version 9.5.
    I am upset that Adobe kept telling me for weeks now that I needed to update but they directed me to an update my system is incapable of handling.
    Hence the error "action list not found". Dumb!!! I trusted them that they knew what they were doing.
    I felt it would help to uninstall what I had and do a fresh install.
    Now in that path, Adobe directed me to download version 9.0, which I did.
    Then somehow I found out that version 9.5 is the latest-greatest for my machine.
    Why did Adobe not make available 9.5 right away instead of 9.0??? Dumb again!!!!
    Nice product though; bad execution.
    I'm done venting.

  • Unable to install Adobe reader Patch

    Hi,
    kindly help me on below issue..
    I am not able to install Adobe reader patch file it is installing some systems but maximum of systems are getting failed. Here below I have attached the log file and the installation batch file whatever I am using.
    The Command I am using through batch file.
    @echo off
    "%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11008.msp" /quiet /passive /q /norestart

    1642 = "The upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer
    and that you have the correct upgrade."
    Adobe reader updates are *not* cumulative and only apply to specific versions and patch levels. Adobe has tables on their enterprise support website that detail what patches are applicable to what versions. Here's the one for Reader 10 (can't find the one
    for Reader 11 but I'm sure it exists).

  • Cant install adobe reader

    Every time I try to install Adobe Reader on my computer, I get a scripts error detected and it will not install the program.  I have Adobe Flash Player II ActiveX installed.  I have tried using IE and Firefox and Google Chrome as internet browsers and have the same outcome.
    I have run my antimalware, super antispyware, and spybot programs, not to mention my norton security program which has not detected any problems.
    Why am I not able to install Adobe Reader?

    I don't know the "why", but I suspect that's not what you really want. Try downloading its full installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • I wanted to watch a BNN video on my iphone 4, but I was told I needed Adobe Flash Player. Adobe says Apple does not allow to install Flash Player on iPhones. Any suggestions?

    I wanted to watch a BNN video on my iphone 4, but I was told I needed Adobe Flash Player. Adobe says Apple does not allow to install Flash Player on iPhones. Any suggestions?

    See if BNN has an app in the app store or do without.
    Adobe does not make a flash player for ipod/ipad/iphone and likely never will.
    You can do a forum search and find coutless posts on this.

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader, I have Windows 7 on my PC. Every time I get the download, I click on it to install the program, and I get the usual messages but I never get the install message. When I try the download again, I get a message telling me only one copy of the program can go on the computer. When I check the program list, it is not there. I have to restore my computer before I can attempt the download and install again. I have tried this at least 6 times but cannot install Adobe Reader. Please help me out with this. I really like this product and prefer to use it. I had o originally delete the program, due to an update conflict.

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Installing Adobe Reader X Did Not Override/Replace Reader 9.x On Mac

    I updated Adobe Reader to version X (10.1.0) when prompted by my Mac but then saw that instead of Replacing Reader 9 (like it usually does), it Added and I had Both versions.
    I read the following advice in the forums and I did move the Adobe Reader 9 folder from the Applications folder to the Trash (and emptied) but I’m confused about a few users advising to also remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin from the Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins.  Do I not need this anymore?  Because there is only the one plug-in in that folder, not two, even though I did have two versions of Adobe Reader (9 and 10) before I trashed version 9?
    I’m using Mac OS X.6.8
    User advice from forum:
    Re: OS X How to best install Adobe Reader X if Reader 9.x is already installed
    I have both installed on my Mac. But to uninstall Reader 9, drag the Reader 9 folder from Application to the trash. You should also trash the PDFViewer plugin (Library > Internet Plugins).
    Another user’s advice from forum:
    Now to answer question - "Should I just trash Adobe Reader 9". The answer is YES. You can trash Adobe Reader 9 because installing Adobe Reader X over Adobe Reader 9 takes default ownership of pdf files from Reader 9 in application as well as Safari Web Browser. You would not require Adobe Reader 9 application now.
    First time using a forum.  Great help.  Thanks in advance for any further help.

    Hi,
    Reader X on Mac does not override or replace Reader 9. This is because Reader 9 installs in /Applications/Adobe Reader 9 folder while Reader X installs in /Applications folder. But if you customize Reader X installation to install on same location where Reader 9 is present, then the installer will ask your permission to trash Reader 9.
    If you do not want to go into that detail, the simplest way is to follow the advise from other forum that you have mentioned. You just need to trash Reader 9. There is no need to trash AdobePDFViewer.plugin as that will be updated to Reader X. If you trash that you may not be able to use Adobe plugin to view pdfs in Safari.
    Thanks,
    Karan

  • I've installed Adobe Reader twice and it still will not read a PDF file. What's up?

    I've installed Adober Reader twice now and it still will not read a PDF. What's up?

    I have the same problem. Adobe Reader worked fine until the last few days. I run Windows 7 and all I get is a small black cross in the top left corner of the screen. I can open downloaded pdf files, but not anything new from the internet.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and have run every type of scan I know of without any change.
    This seems to be a common and recent problem, so I would like to know what's being done about it.

  • 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.

    when installing adobe reader on my mac it states that the install is complete, but on same screen its sets thaw an internal server error has occurred and reader will not work

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem on one of my Macs (MBP 15 Mid-2010 / OS X Yosemite): Both reader and Acrobat Pro download without a hitch. Both also install with no problem.
    But once you click the program to open, they both return "an internal error occurred".  
    I tried downloading three separate copies, and still get the same error message when I install and launch.  I've also uninstalled the previous installations via CleanMyMac2 to make sure it's no longer in the SSD.  Same results.
    Am using a new SSD as internal boot drive, with fresh / clean installation of OS X and Apps (previous internal HDD crashed) -- And am seeing errors not only with Acrobat, but also with LR5 which always comes up with a "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" -- inspite or uninstall, download and reinstall.  Not sure if it's a registry issue? (Not even sure if that's the case with OS X).
    Do I need to reformat the whole SSD? I hope not!
    Thanks
    Edwin

  • I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X.  It does not print.  It is unbelievable to me!

    I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X.  It does not send the view to the installed printers.
    It is unbelievable to me that Adobe would broadcast a flawed product like this.

  • When I try to install adobe reader, no "yelloe Bar" with an "allow" option appears

    I am trying to install adobe reader and the firefox instructions say a yellow Bar will appear with an option to "allow" the download. No such bar appears

    Ignore those instructions. You just need to download the setup file from Adobe and run it to install Adobe Reader.
    A direct link for the setup file for the English Windows version of Adobe Reader 9.3.4 is http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
