Accidentally installed Adobe Reader XI in Japanese

while trying to view a Japanese PDF on a Japanese website.My computer's language is in English, and I tried switching the language by mimicking an English Adobe, but the two versions don't match. I can't uninstall it either to reinstall because Japanese pop-ups occur. How can I change it to English!?
Sorry for any mispellings.

If do have the Japanese Reader installed (as opposed to the MUI version), then you cannot switch languages.
If you are on Windows, uninstall it using the Acrobat Cleaner Tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
then download and install the English version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Cannot install Adobe Reader XI font pack

Hi, all, need ur kind help.
We used to use Adobe Reader X with japanese font pack and it's working fine. After recent upgrade to Reader XI, when we started to install XI font pack, we got the following msg. We've found that user has Japanese font pack for Reader 9, Adobe Acrobat X Standard - Japanese as well as Adobe Reader XI (11.0.04) on the machine. Have tried to remove Reader XI and install Reader X, then XI, then the XI font pack. Still the same error. Please advise what's the problem and how to complete font pack installation. Thanks.

I tried font pack for Reader 11 without installing Reader 11 on machine and I got below message as
Which says, Adobe Reader XI is required but your message shows Reader X.
I will suggest you to please check once again if you are running correct installer.

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Hello there,
Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
Thanks!

Error in Installing Adobe Reader

I'm trying to install Adobe Reader and everytime, it gets to 96% and an error message pops up telling me that it can't finish installation until I close Adobe Reader- however there is nothing open except for the installation window and the error message.

Make sure that anything that uses Adobe Reader is closed; check with the Task Manager's Processes tab.
If you're still having problems, uninstall your current Reader installation, then reinstall the latest Reader.

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.

I'm trying to open files which are telling me to instal Adobe Reader. Which I did but the agreement which needs to be ticked off so this reader can open doesn't come up. Please could you be of some assistance.

Select one of the files, Choose GetInfo from the Finder's File menu, look for the field named "Open With", and choose Preview from the adjacent menu. Accept that ALL such files will Open with Preview, and your major problems should be solved.
Occasionally, a particularly complex .pdf file or one that needs to be modified and re-written will not work quite right with Preview, but such issues are rare.

Mac's Safari browser supports PDF documents
Adobe Reader is not good at security issues, if you can, avoid using/downloading it.
PDF
Safari also includes built-in support for viewing PDF files. When you follow a link to a PDF in Safari, such as a user guide, it's displayed in the Safari window without having to open another app. Safari's built-in find and zoom features work with PDFs too.

I cannot install Adobe Reader 10.1.04 on my Windows Vista computer

I've been unable to install Adobe Reader on my Windows Vista (SP1) 32-bit Toshiba laptop, and would really appreciate some help.
Here's the error message I get:
Error 1402. Could not open key: UNKNOWN\.api\AcroExch.Plugin\ShellNew. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
Here's a brief history of what I've already tried:
# 1 - Downloaded AdbeRdr1014_en_US.exe as a stand alone file multiple times from different servers and sites.
# 2 - Uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.0
# 3 - Ran AdbeArCleaner.exe multiple times to remove ANY perious verions of Acrobat and/or Reader.
# 4 - Opened each of my 4 browsers, latest verions of IE, Opera, Firefox, and Chrome, searched for Plugins and/or Add Ons and removed ANY Adobe related apps except Flash.
# 5 - Opened the Control Panel, Programs, searched for and removed ANY versions of Acro Quick Reader or Quick Writer.
# 6 - Ran Norton Utilities Clean Registry multiple times.
# 7 - When trying to install Reader 10.1.04 I had PREVIOUSLY received this error message:
Error 1402.Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\AcroExch.Document\Shell\Open\Command. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
However, after using Adobe Cleaning Tool, I no longer got this error.
# 8 - I also disabled my A-V Program during all installation attempts, Kaspersky PURE 2.0.
The reason that I wanted to update to Adobe Reader 10 was that Kaspersky did a vulnerability check which indicated:
"Adobe Reader/Acrobat Multiple Vulnerabilities"
See: http://www.securelist.com/en/advisories/47133/?function=advisories&VN=47133
Solution was to update to version 10.1.2 (or higher).
Now I can't open any .PDF files. I can't find the so-called Plugin which is causing the installation to stop. The installation of Reader 10.1.04 gets to around 96% complete, then fails and rolls back.
# 9 - Is there an easy fix, such as a tool that will autyomatically remove any relevant registry key, or apply the correct administrative attributes to the registry keys? If not, can you please talk me through this step by step. I've never been so stumped or frustrated performing a software upgrade, what I thought would be a simple task.
THANKS in advance for your help which is much appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi Pat,
I feel like I'm falling deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, operating in an area in which I am totally unfamiliar. I know a great deal about computers, but that still leaves me ignorant about many other things.
I had previously downloaded subinacl.msi in my research on Vista permissions and the inability to install Reader 10.1.04. In Vista, Windows Installer is a Service, not a program. I don't even understand what that means. I had previously tried changing the file extension of subinacl.msi to subinacl.exe but that didn't work. Then I looked for an EXE version of the file. No luck with that. Your pointing me to http://weblogs.asp.net/rternier/archive/2007/02/01/how-to-install-msi-files-on-vista.aspx was helpful up to a point. The post assumed I would know what to do with the bat file template:
"C:\Windows\System32\msiExec.exe -i C:\Users\rternier\Documents\Downloads\tfpt.msi"
I changed it to the following:
C:\Windows\System32\msiExec.exe -i C:\Users\aecolkercpa\Downloads\subinacl.msi
PLEASE NOTE: I store and run all downloaded installation files from the directory C:\Users\aecolkercpa\Downloads\
Usually, after installing a program from an installation file I will delete the installation file, unless there is a problem installing the application. In that case, I save the installation file until the problem is resolved.
Also, I am not sure if the first phrase in the BAT file I created is correct,
C:\Windows\System32\msiExec.exe -i
I called the file Install MSI.bat and ran as administrator.
I clicked on Accept the warranty terms, and the msi file began to be installed. Then I got a blue screen error BAD_POOL_HEADER with lots of text messages on it. I had to reboot. When I rebooted, Windows asked if I wanted to search for a solution online to the shut down, and gave me this report:
"Troubleshoot a problem with your antivirus software
A problem related to your antivirus software caused your computer to shut down unexpectedly to protect itself from data corruption or loss.
To try to solve this problem, follow these steps. One step might solve the problem, but if it doesn't, then go on to the next step.
Update your antivirus software
Missing antivirus software updates could be the cause of your computer's problem. To make sure your antivirus is up to date, follow these steps:
Click to open Microsoft Security Center.
Click Malware protection.
If your software needs to be updated, click Update now.
If Windows can detect your antivirus software, it will be listed under Virus protection.
If your antivirus software is not displayed in Windows Security Center, go to the downloads section of your antivirus software provider’s website. Find the update for your version of the software and your operating system, and then install it. For more information, check the Help for your antivirus software.
Most antivirus software updates are free, but some providers charge a small fee for the updates. If you're using an older version of the software, you might also have to pay to upgrade to a more recent version to continue to receive the updates.
Check for multiple antivirus programs running on your computer
Running two antivirus software programs on your computer at the same time is not recommended because the two programs can interfere with each other. Even if you don't think your computer could be running two antivirus programs, antivirus software can sometimes come bundled with your computer and it might be running without your knowledge. To check if two antivirus programs are running, follow these steps:
Click the Start button , right-click Computer, and then click Manage. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
In the left pane, double-click Services and Applications, and then click Services.
Look at the list of services under the Name column. If you find two antivirus programs, right-click each service associated with one of the programs, and then click Stop. Note that there may be multiple services running for one antivirus program.
Contact the antivirus manufacturer
If you've completed the previous steps, we recommend you contact the antivirus manufacturer directly for additional support."
Since I was unsure how to parse the BAT file, it probably contained errors, which may be the reason behind the blue screen crash. Should I have moved the bat file and the subinacl.msi file to the Windows/System32 directory before running it? To a different location than the download directory?
At this point I'm rather burned out. Perhaps 50+ hours of my time have gone into trying to install a simple program, Adobe Reader 10.1.04. I would love to succeed, but I think my lack of comprehension is making it even more difficult than it might otherwise be. Instead, I'm becoming more and more confused and frustrated by all these detours and additional issues.
Is it possible Pat to arrange for you to have remote login access to my machine using Go to My PC or some other application, so that you can hands on accomplish in perhaps 5 minutes, what might take me 5 more weeks (or months) to get done?
I feel we are close to solving this puzzle, but it keeps on slipping away.
Please let me know your thoughts, and thanks as always for your help.
Cheers,
Joel

Error 2330 when trying to install adobe reader 9.1

Trying to install adobe reader 9.1 on an hp laptop (pavilion dv6936us entertainment notebook pc...to be exact). It has windows vista home premium 64-bit os. when i try to install i get error message that says "Error 2330 Error getting file attributes: c:\Program file (x86)\Adobe\Reader9.0\Reader. Get last error: 1392. Please help.

Did you look "manually" for remnants of an old Reader installation ? (you could eventually try searching the drive for files and folders named Adobe )
Some suggests , as the previous thread contributor , that this is an issue with respect to remnants of an old installation :

http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=14914
Other suggests it could be a corrupted file issue :
and suggests :
At a command prompt (run as administrator), do:
C:\>chkdsk c: /f /v
and then reboot the machine. A chkdsk of the system drive can only run while
the system is booting.

Unable to install Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Help!!!

I can help if you gor error 1402 about not having permission to update reg sub-key MSFS under:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run/OptionalComponents
Logged into my own account, I could see no sub-keys under Run even though I have Administrator rights. I logged in under the Administrator Account (the one under which Adobe was originally installed). Now I could see all sub-keys.
I installed Adobe Reader 8.1.2 successfully.
I rebooted and logged back in under my own account and can now see all sub-keys.
I suspect 2 things. Either my registry was corrupt and I lost the sub-keys (dont think so) or an update from say Adobe Reader 8.1.1 to 8.1.2 can initially only be done under the account that did the original install (I hope this is not the case). Good luck.

Need help installing Adobe Reader, Error 1402

Hello, this is my first time here at the forums.
So my problem is obviously having trouble installing Adobe Reader X (Latest Version) I had to reinstall it due to this error,
I've tried looking at these steps: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329137.html but they didn't work.
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
I get stuck at step 10 of More Solutions (Advanced)
The error I get when I try to 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' is:
Auditing - 'Registry Editor could not set security in the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys.
The key that cannot be opened during installation is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\PDF.PdfCtrl.6\CLSID
Notes:
I've already set full permission to access this key.
The 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' checkbox is actually named
'Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object' on my Windows, I think it's basically the same thing, because it's in the same spot as the one in the support picture, so I'm just assuming that's Windows 7 and I'm using Vista which shouldn't be too different.
I've already followed all the instructions correctly, and I don't have spysweeper, McAfee on my system or any viruses/spyware, I update Windows regularly and my AntiVirus is Norton AntiVirus which is updated as well, and this doesn't seem to interfere with the installation files as you can see this is a registry problem.

Please confirm the Reader version and the operating system.

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).
