Problem with installing Adobe Reader.

I have just recently tried to install Adobe Reader onto my new laptop and it has Windows 8 operating systems. I encounter my problem when the installation tries to retrieve information from my laptop and an error saying, "Installation encountered errors, Actionlist not found." I've never really had any problems like this on the download and installation of a program, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Google Chrome as my browser, if that is of any weight or importance to this issue. Thank you.

Never mind, I found the solution in a troubleshooting page on Adobe.com It was very helpful and specific on how to solve the problem. If anyone else is having this problem here is the link (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-installing-reader-proxy-server.html). Have a fantastic day.

  • Problems with installing Adobe Reader 9.1

    Hi,
    I am hoping that there is a genius in here, who can help me. I am trying to install Adobe Reader on to my computer, however it obviously can't be done.
    Here is what happens;
    The installation starts and everything seems to go as planned. However, at the end of the installation a box pops up saying;
    The key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/Current version/Run/OptionalComponents/MSFS
    could not be opened. Check that you have the sufficient acces to the key, or contact the support technicians.
    After this, the installation stops.
    Can any of you helps me solve this problem?
    Regards,
    Kamilla Jensen, DK.

    is that your own personal pc?  Do you have admin rights on it.  check your user privlages.   login as another user on the machine that you know has admin rights.

  • Problem with updating Adobe reader 9.4.6.252

    Hi, I am new at this so here goes.
    I am having a problem with downloading Adobe Reader 9.4.7. Every time I start the update it freezers my entire computer.
    The only way of fixing the problem that I have found that works is to turn the entire computer off.
    I am running with windows XP SP3.
    Can anybody help please.
    At present I have Version 9.4.6.252 Adobe Reader

    Then you may want to try the following: 
    Run this fix from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Uninstall all traces of any versions of Reader using Add/Remove Programs
    If you want to reinstall Reader, download it from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Problem in installing Adobe Reader X

    I wanted to install Adobe Reader X on my notebook(with no internet connection).I copied the Adobe folder from my PC to the notebook and tried to install Adobe Reader X by clicking the related exe file,but it didnt help.
    The exe file,which was AcroRd32.exe,when clicked says that "Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to a problem with your system configuration.Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?".
    When I tried to open it with Protected Mode disabled,it gave a fatal error saying that "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL".
                        No such error occured with earlier versions of Adobe Reader. There, the exe file automatically started the installation process.
                        Is it not possible to upgrade my Reader to X from 9.1?
    (I saw a similr thread elsewhere but there the error was different and the solution talked of some whitelisting,which I am not aware of)

    You cannot use Reader X until it has been installed. Installing means that the appropriate configuration has been entered into the Windows Registry. Copying a folder from another computer doesn't achieve that goal.
    Here's what I suggest you do now.
    Run this Microsoft fix first of all: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Uninstall via Reader via Add/Remove Programs
    Download and install Reader X from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/
    P.S. There are some programs which are so called 'Standalone' apps. That means that the executable will run without using a system's processes. But Adobe Reader isn't one of them.

  • Printing problem after installing Adobe Reader XI.

    After installing Adobe Reader XI. I can not just print a document from email attachment without saving it to a "save the file as". Where before was able to just print the document. There is no reason I need to save these documents being printed. How do I get back to an older version that allowed me to do this?

    Thanks for your response. I found the problem 1/2hr after posting my question. It had to do with the setting after hitting the print que. After installing the Adobe Reader XI the setting for destination in the print window change to save as PDF. Before it was set to my default printer. I never knew that there was other places for these documents could go. Never had to use them either.
    Again thanks for responding.

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks for coming back to me.  Remember when I've received the error message previously "Error 1327. Invalid Drive: E:\",  I've decided to try inserting my flash drive into the E drive (since I've downloaded the Adobe file previously from my flash drive to my desktop pc) and then try removing the Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and it works!!!!  I am now working with the earlier version ie. Adobe Reader 8 which works fine.  I would like to try again to download the Adobe 9.3.4 but have previously tried 3 times and failed.  What else can I try to do to download, install and run this latest version without experiencing the same problem over again? Thanks.

  • There is a problem with the adobe reader on my computer.

    I am not able to read the file statement I was in because the adobe reader would not let me do so.  I downloaded a adobe reader yesterday.  It indicated the process was completed yesterday so I restarted the computer to be able to read the bank statement file and the same screen keep popping up.  This screen reads Adobe 8 buy or quit.  When I woke this morning I started the computer, the screen popped up still installing the adobe reader; so I waited for the process to complete I can tell some of the files on my opening screen were changing because I have not started the internet to the web site I am trying to read.  I went to internet to the page to read the satment file and I can only read the file for about ten seconds then the same Adobe 8 buy or quit screen pop up I hit quit at the bottom of the page then the screen appear blank the previous screen is not there I wanted to read.It sends me through the same circle. I need help to solve this problem.  I am not very good on the computer so if I can have a technician specialist call me to help me walk through the steps it would help save time.  I need this information for tax purposes.  My name is Joyce phone is 773-955-4083.  Thank You.

    Adobe Reader is free. It always has been.
    You have obviously downloaded and installed Acrobat (30 day trial version) and the trial period has expired.
    You need to uninstall Acrobat (using the Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features [Vista/7])
    Then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    to completely remove the Acrobat installer files.
    Then download Reader 9, install it, and go about reading PDFs for free.
    EDIT: Please, please please.... do NOT post a phone number in the forums.
    You're inviting trouble if you do.

  • Nothing but problems with PDF Adobe reader

    Hi
    I've had nothing but problems for the past few weeks I'm sure it's maybe a new software version? I can't convert PDFs to Word anymore I keep getting this error message. An error occurred while trying to access the service for all documents.
    It's slow at loading and I'm looking for a new program!

    Hi Mark,
    Are you using Adobe Reader to access the Export pdf service to convert the file.
    If so please update Reader to the latest v 11.0.10 and then check. Also make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID in Reader.
    Can you please also try signing in to the web url: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf  with your Adobe ID and check if you are able to convert the file or not.
    Regards,
    Rave

    I am having trouble installing adobe illustrator cs6.When it gets to 2% it says "the setup encountered an error (37) during install. Please restart the machine and try again." I tried restarting my computer but it still shows that message.

    When i installed adobe photoshop cs6 last year it was successful.
