ReInstalling Adobe Acrobat 5.0

ReInstall Adobe Acrobat 5.0
I had to reinstall windows and now I have to reinstall acrobat 5.0 (I know all the other versions are newer, bigger, badder etc. but I only use this about twice a year for completing forms and so it is quite satisfactory.)I have my disk and my codes, but I cant find the manual. Online searches provide information about the newer versions
Now my problem is I cant get it to install. Apparently, there is no auto install. Exploring the CD fails to find any obvious instructions that I can access Thanks to Microsoft office refuses to open that early version of word documents, and the HTML instructions are really great They consist of:
- Make sure you have at least 120 MB of available disk space for a Typical installation of Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5.
- Make sure you have turned off all anti-virus software before beginning the installation.
- Install Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5.
Duh!
HOW DO I INSTALL MY ACROBAT 5.0?
(and lets use the installation for dummies version)
(Ive got the hard drive space and the anti-virus is turned off)
I have the CD in my drive, and using explore I find the Acrobat 5.0 folder
Looking inside I find setup.exe but clicking on it produces nothing it doesnt run
Likewise the only other exe program in the folder ISDel.exe- same result
Clearly something else has to be done, but when your installation instructions consist of:
- Install Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5.
Adobe makes it tough and their manual isnt even written in Japlish.

I have the same problem as described by Steve Burrage above. Except that nothing seems to resolve this issue. I am just unable to run the Setup.exe file to install Acrobat 5.0.5 on Microsoft XP. I am able to install the CD on other XP machines but not on mine.
It is a new laptop which I got with Vista on it. AA 5.0.5 couldnt be installed on Vista and after I converted the machine to XP it is still not working.
I tried after removing Adobe Reader and shutting off the Anti virus program. It just doesn't work.
I hope someone can suggest a solution.
Thanks

  • Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan

    Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan through Adobe, although Scanner says its combatible with Windows 8. Cannot reinstall drivers because Brother claims they're built-in. Help!

    I am using a Brother MFC 8460N and on Brother's site it says its compatible with win 8.1 and that the driver is already installed. When I try to scan I am told there is no preset (there was with win 7 though) and I have to "custom scan." When I try that, I hear a sound as if the printer is trying to scan, but the feeder can't pull the paper through. I then get a blank .pdf as my scan. Thanks for your advice. I will try that.

    kindly check the System requirements | Acrobat family of products—older versions (XI, X, 9)

  • Not able to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac

    I have to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac -- I had to reinstall the full CS5 package, and I had no issues reinstalling Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator from the original disks, but when I insert the AA9 Pro disk, it appears to download, and I'm able to open it, but as soon as I eject the disk, it disappears. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. (not sure this has anything to do with it, but the other CS5 disk in the suite package -- for indesign, photoshop and illustrator -- prompted me for my serial number and product code, but when I inserted the disk for AA9 Pro, that didn't happen.) Any suggestions?

    There is some process for the CS version where you are supposed to open one of the other products and then complete the Acrobat install/activation. It seems a bit strange to someone like me without CS, but I have seen such several times. You might want to ask in the CS forum about the details. The details of the install is about all you may need to go to the CS forum for -- other Acrobat specific questions are fine here.
    If you wait, it may be that other CS users will be by to help with the variations for that install.

    I don't believe there is any download available for Standard versions that old, but if you have a disc copy you can try using that.

  • Reinstall adobe acrobat 8.0 standard

    Dear Adobe,
    I need to reinstall Adobe acrobat 8.0 standard after formatting. Unofrtunately I have not a backup. I have the serials but not the original install files. Is there anyway to download somewhere the files?
    Many thanks

    The link provided by Mylenium eventually leads to

    Only the Acrobat 8 Pro for Windows link is available there and entering your Acrobat Standard serial number into the Acrobat Pro installer will not work. A separate Acrobat Standard installer is required.
    Are you trying to reinstall on a Dell? If so, you can get the software from https://smartsource.dell.com
    Other than that, I'm not aware of any links for Acrobat Standard 8, sorry.

  • Will uninstall/reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 affect PDFs already created?

    I am receiving a message that I must uninstall then reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to fix a problem. Operating system. Windows 7.  Problem on laptop only.  No problem on desktop.  Error message says: "Licensing for this product has stopped working.  You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help. (148:3)"  If I uninstall / reinstall will this affect the PDFs already created in My Docs?  Is there another way?  

    The process with not affect the PDFs, but I would be concerned about registration and such. If you uninstall without deactivating, you may lose the second install option and have to call Adobe to reset. I would try a repair first and see if that helps. The repair can be done from Control Panel>Programs & Preferences (since you apparently cannot open Acrobat).
    If you do uninstall, do the following before reinstalling: run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. If Acrobat is part of a CS installation, you may need to check there (CS forum) for the proper way to reinstall.
    If you have an upgrade, then be sure to have the SN of the previous product available.

  • Uninstall and Reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro registration failed

    I have uninstalled and reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new machine. My new machine runs Mac OS X 10.9.5. Every time I try to click on Help > Registration it returns an error message 'Registration Unsuccessful" "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet".  I have no issue with Internet connection. Just wondering why this is happening and is there any way we can register this application.

    Hi Ksb2009,
    This version of Acrobat was never tested on this version of Mac and is unsupported.
    I would suggest you may upgrade to latest version of Acrobat and that will work fine. It has loads of new and enhanced features than Acrobat 8.

    Ajlan Huda.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

  • Reinstalling adobe acrobat 7 prof after upgrading OS but fails create pdf port

    Used download manager to reinstall adobe acrobat 7 professional after upgrading OS to windows 7. Install ends but fails with error "Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0.5 set up was unable to create a new item Adobe PDF Port & Printer". Adobe is installed but I can no longer print to pdf nor use Adobe directly to create pdf from file. This feature was available before this reinstallation.
    How do I fix this?

    Hi myee.somers,
    Acrobat 7 is a 32-bit application and while it can successfully be installed on a 64-bit machine using SysWOW64 (which enables 32-bit apps to work on 64-bit machines), there are some known limitations. One of those known limitations is that 32-bit printer drivers will not work on 64-bit machines.
    So you can install the main Acrobat 7 application, but you won't be able to installer the Adobe PDF Printer Driver.

    Even in the 64-bit versions of Windows XP  the Acrobat 7 printer driver was not supported.
