Sporadic Adobe Reader 9 GPO install problems

Hello everyone,
I've been working on this issue for quite a while now and haven't been able to come up with any solutions.  I've been pushing out Adobe Reader 9.1 to a couple hundred workstations in our company through a group policy.  We were previously at version 8.  It seems like the installtion works fine on all of the clients, but they start having strange issues at random times.  Reader may work fine for a couple days or weeks and then all of a sudden the users get a message about Intenet Explorer not allowing the PDF to open through the browser because of security restrictions.  I initially thought this was a problem with file associations, but then I noticed that if the user tries to open Adobe Reader from the start menu, it attempts to reinstall the application.  I know this is not a IE security problem, because we were previously working find on version 8.
I found that downloading and reinstalling the 9.1 setup from Adobe's website seemed to fix the problems.  PDF's opened correctly from the browser after the reinstall.  At first this seemed to only be happening to a couple users here and there, but over time the amount of affected users has increased drastically.
In the last couple days, I've realized that even the reinstall doesn't seem to be fixing the issue.  I've had one user in particular that I've reinstalled three times in the last week.  After the reinstall everything is fine, but by the next day Adobe Reader isn't working any more.
I've checked the event logs and can't find anything that looks like it would help.  I really need to figure this out.  I had to stop my roll out halfway though because of the issues we were having and I need to upgrade to version 9.1 to support a new application that my company wants to use.
Any help would be appreciated!

  • Adobe Reader XI install problem

    I have tried to install Adobe Reader XI on a computer, however, on shortly after the install starts I receive the error: "Setup was interrupted before Adobe Reader XI could be completely installed. Error code 150208" Anyone know more details on the error code ? I tried to check online, even on the Adobe info troubleshoot pages however that exact error message was not found. Please note that the offline install kit was used.
    Thanks, it's kinda of urgent.

    Solved. Apparently it was a simple case of insufficient space during install. Cheers.

  • Adobe Reader 10 install problem?

    Adobe reader download appears OK, but doesnt open doc.  Error message from Windows says 'Installation package could not be opened - etc etc.  How do I down load this reader?

    That message appears during the installation?
    Do you have an earlier Reader version installed that may be corrupted?
    If so, remove the old Reader using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.

  • My computer is infected with adware.  I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it.  Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed.  How do I reinstall Adobe Reader?

    My computer is infected with Adware.  I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it.  Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed.  Reader wasn't the problem.  So how do I get Reader reinstalled?
    And if anyone knows how to delete WebProtect ads, please let me know.  It's actually getting worse.

    Hi frostedinsilver,
    I'm sorry to hear that. What a hassle.
    You can download Reader from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.

  • Adobe Reader is causing problems in Windows 7

    Good morning all,
    I have been doing some digging on this one and have had no joy so far. We are deploying Windows 7 in our office and I have one user, and only one who is having problems.
    They had Adobe Reader X installed and they began to have problems with it after they were upgraded to WIN 7. When they went to print a PDF it started to lock their PC for 3-5 minutes after which they were able to continue with their work.
    This behavior is internmittent in that it does not happen with every PDF and typically only happens once a day. Some times  it is the first PDF of the day, sometimes in the middle of the day, but once it happens it does not happen again in the same day. Sometimes the user does not experience the problem for several days. We have been unsuccessful in determining any pattern or any particular in which this users machine is environmentally different from any other users machine.
    No other users are experiencing this problem.
    The user has a laptop and shuts it down to take home each night and starts the box fresh in the office each day.
    Lately this behavior has extended to when the user just opens a PDF. Their laptop will freeze for 3-5 minutes and then they can continue with their work.
    Based upon a very few articles we have found on the subject, we have tried a couple of things without success:
    We have tried clearing the Adobe Reader cache
    We have uninstalled Reader X and replaced it with Reader 9x
    We are hoping that someone out there who has seen something like this before and can suggest some environmental or proceedural thing that we have missed. This one is driving us crazy.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Steve

    Ooops! Sorry about thts...moving now.

  • Checking if Adobe Reader is installed

    Hi,
    We are dynamically creating PDF pages and having errors if
    Adobe Reader is
    not installed on the computer. What is the best way to handle
    this?
    Is there a way to check whether Adobe Reader is installed or
    not before
    creating the PDF page?
    Please let me know.
    YC

    Well, the page opens a new window with the PDF format, but if
    there is no
    Adobe Reader installed, it's trying to download the original
    "cfm" page
    instead of the "pdf."

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

  • How do i install adobe reader without installing products from google.

    i dont like google, i dont like a bunch of worthless taskbars crowding my browser. so how do i install adobe reader without installing google products when you dont even give me the chance to say i dont want them?
    It is unethical to force onto people products of any nature that they do not want. i do not want google products so by your installation for adobe reader automatically installing google products without my consent is unethical.

    I don't understand the "forcing" part; the bundled software is clearly optional, and can be unchecked before the download.
    Or using the download link that Michael provided earlier (which is posted at least a dozen times every day in this forum).

  • I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

  • Adobe Reader XI installed but "Not Found"

    I have Adobe Reader XI installed and apparently running normally. Unfortunately the UK's Parcelforce web-site says it can't find it.
    I get the message " Adobe Acrobat NOT found. You must have Adobe Reader (5 or better) with the browser plugin properly working"
    Can anyone help me please? How can I tell if "the browser plugin is properly working" ?

    In IE11 use Tools | Manage Add-ons, then show All Add-ons.  Do you see the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, and is it enabled?
