Windows Installer malfunctioning: Is there a workaround to install Adobe Reader?
AFter hours on the phone with Microsoft to remedy this situation, the advice is to re-install Windows XP Pro.
This is an attempt to avoid that action, if possible.
Does anyone have a suggestion. All the methods outlined by Microsoft have been attempted.
Another install programme would be appreciated if Adobe will address it.
ANy assistance is greatly appreciated, Thanks.
Albert
As you are asking your question to an audience of ColdFusion developers, you may not get very good answers.
A) These forums are not an offical Adobe support channel. It is a resource provided by Adobe for users to share experience and knowledge.
B) You asked your question in the ColdFusion -> Getting Started forum, rather then a forum populated by Adobe Reader knowledgeable users.

Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe
Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader 11 is removed from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11. also tried:
1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled 2. installed from different locations 3. removed adobe key from
local machine and tried to installSeriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines. However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE. Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying. -

Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat.
Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:

I had itunes set up and working since i have had my iPhone and iPad. One day it asked to be updated, so i did. After it updated it stopped working because whenever i tried to open it it would say "this shortcut has either been deleted or moved would you like to delete this shortcut". This kept on happening so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, but then comes my second problem. While itunes is downloading an error pops up saying "There is a problem with this windows installer package A program required for this install to complete could not be run contact your personnel or package vendor". This is my main problem and i don't know how to stop it i have tried a disc clean up, De frag and trying to completely take everything to do with itunes off my computer, but it still doesn’t work. HELP ME!!! I NEED ITUNES!!

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time? -

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
