Acrobat 10 / 10.1 upgrade

Hi all,
I am trying to upgrade our PC and laptop estate to acrobat 10.1, they are currently on 9.3.4.
I have created an AIP for 10.0 and applied the 10.1 patch to this.
There is also a MST file created using the Adobe customization wizard. With this we have turned off the MS Office and IE integration and also requested that the old version of acrobat be uninstalled.
My question is, is there a switch that will prevent the installer checking if any MS Office products and IE are open? I am getting an msiexec error 1602 because of this.
I would of thought that seeing as there is no integration with these products on either 9.3.4 or 10.1 then Acrobat would install whether any of these products are open

Hi,
i think u are chosing the wrong path in trying to prevent the check of open applications.
If you are using SCCM for deployment, you can use wmi queries in a task sequence to check for open applications, and start the installation depending on the results of the queries. Then simply put a schedule on the advertisement to reun until success.
If you are using GPO installations you have to script it with vbscript.
You could also edit the MSIRESTARTMANAGER properties in the property table of the msi. Unfortunately this ain't working very well.

  • 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.

    I originally bought Acrobat 9 and later upgraded to Acrobat 10 pro. My computer crashed and I am trying to re-install Acrobat 10 pro. I have serial numbers for Acrobat 9 and an Acrobat 10 pro upgrade. What do I do?

    Hi Shane,
    Please download Acrobat X Pro from the link below.
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    Install the software and when prompted for the previous version qualifying product, select Acrobat 9 and enter the serial key of Acrobat 9.
    This should install and activate Acrobat X Pro on the machine.

  • I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Pro

    I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Production Tools on both computers?

    This is quite odd. I wonder if you could try something for me on EACH computer.
    Use Help > About Adobe Acrobat DC.
    At the top of the box it should say Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
    On each of the two machines, what does it say? (I think something odd has happened)

  • How to update a version 6.0 of Acrobat Reader Professional when upgrading windows XP to 8.1 ?

    How to update a version 6.0 of Acrobat Reader Professional when upgrading windows XP to 8.1 ?

    There is no product called Acrobat Reader Professional. There are two possibilities with different answers.
    1. You have Acrobat Professional (no "Reader"). You will have to buy the latest, Acrobat 11 (XI) Pro. No upgrade pricing is available for version 8.
    2. You have Adobe Reader (no "Professional"). You can download the latest free Adobe Reader http://get.adobe.com/reader

  • I need to reload acrobat 9 (was an upgrade) do I have to reload the original program?

    i need to reload acrobat 9 (was an upgrade from 8 from....back to original program acrobat 5) do i have to reload the original?

    no.
    when installing an upgrade, if the previous version is not installed, you will be prompted for the previous versions serial number (as well as the upgrade's serial number).

  • 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.

  • Is Acrobat XI standard an upgrade for Reader?

    Is Acrobat XI standard an upgrade for acrobat reader? I'm worried the upgrade may be an upgrade to a paid version I don't have. Thanks 

    Acrobat Standard or Pro will do that, just don't buy an upgrade (which would need you to already own a particular older version of Acrobat). It isn't considered an "upgrade" from Reader in the buying way because Reader is free, so it doesn't qualify for a cheap purchase. It also isn't an upgrade in the sense that it's separate from Reader and you can have both Reader and Acrobat.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8.0.0 Upgrade to 8.2.1

    I have a 25 user license for Adobe 8.0.0 and we currently do not need to upgrade to 9.  But from time to time, when we refresh or replace computers, I have to reinstall Acrobat.
    Is there an updated installer that includes all the updates from 8.0.0 thru to 8.2.1 that I can download? Or at the very least, 1 updater that will bring me to 8.2.1?
    It's a real PITA having to install 8.0.0 and then go thru each upgrade 1 at a time.
    Thanks.
    Stan.

    I would say 'hold off until later!' This update just messed up my Acrobat Pro 8 settings completely. The Acrobat Distiller started showing an error when I tried to print something to PDF, asking me to print directly to the printer instead. And when I did that and the resulting PDF opened in Acrobat, all my previous files in the file menu list opened up together!

  • Install Acrobat 9 Pro Extended "upgrade" on PC upgraded from Win XP to Win 7

    I upgraded my PC from Windows XP to Windows 7.  How do I install the Acrobat upgrade on the Windows 7?

    You reinstall it from scratch and simply hack in the serial numbers. It will ask for a qualifying previous serial, if it is an upgrade...

  • Acrobat Pro 9: have upgrade serial number. Where can I find qualifying version serial number purchased in 2005?

    I purchased Acrobat 9 Pro many years ago. Apparently, this is considered an Upgrade. I do not have the original serial number for whatever product I had purchased in 2005.  Last year, Adobe provided me with a serial number. This year, the company will not. They can confirm that my 9 Pro is legitimate, but I guess they don't believe me when I tell them that I don't have the serial number for the product purchased in 2005.

    No one in these forums has the ability to provide you with a serial number - only Adobe Support can do that.  If your serial number from the last time they gave you one doesn't work then you have no choice but to try to get them to provide you one or find the original one that you should have retained from 2005.  While it might be hard to win any favor with customer support with your forum id as it is, if you are friendly with them they might be more willing to try to help.

  • Acrobat X Pro Mac upgrade from 9 Pro Ex PC

    I had been running Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on my PC and when I recently went back to a Mac, Adobe sales said I could just buy an upgrade and enter my old serial number and it'd all be good.  Doesn't like my old serial number as it wants a Pro version from the Mac for a serial number to upgrade from.  In need of getting this working ASAP and have been on ignore with tech support for the past 30 minutes after being told it would be a 3-6 minute wait.  What do I do?

  • Is Acrobat DC Pro An upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro  or are they separate  products

    When you  Go on creative  cloud You are  given the features   of Acrobat DC pro  and  you can toggle between that and Acrobat  XI Pro  The Latter has  a better descriptions of the important feature and  the  some of the similar feature  in DC get little more than  a One  word mention.
    I get the impression that the interface is very different  but  all i really want to know will i be loosing functionality  by upgrading   or are all the same features their   just the emphasis  is on the Document cloud  and not on the  feature  print, Prepress, interactivity  and  JS integration  are all very important in my work flow  so the loss of any of these feature would be a major upset.
    Hopefully the is some greater  compatibility  to the interactive  elements   available on a desktop pc  and the  mobile  versions 

    I installed DC and it indeed overwrote XI. This was not acceptable since we have plugins that are not compatible with DC. I had to uninstall it and reinstall XI. I contacted Adobe to ask how to do the install so that I had both. They told me I couldn't and I should use a different computer.
    The DC functionality...well, I don't know if it's all there because the interface is extremely simplistic and different. When I say simplistic, it looks like someone started configuring the look of the interface and then decided not to, leaving it as what might be called "stick figure" look...in color, but very stick figure. The interface doesn't seem user friendly. Of course, that could be me having an adverse reaction to the look.
    There was no thought by Adobe as to how an overwrite of the existing Acrobat would affect the end user and then to tell me it was impossible to install both and to use another computer to do my work..Not acceptable.
    And the concurrent installs...well, I actually was able to install DC next to XI and both seem to be working fine...at least so far.
