Acrobat 9.0 Professional Runtime Error

Hi There
I'm an IT support analyst at a large college trying to resolve this current issue with Acrobat 9.0 Professional
I have installed it on two machines on campus and i can't even get the program to load......... everytime the user click's on the icon it flags up with a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error"
Flags it up as the acrobat.exe which has the issue, when you look into the issue more it informs me saying their is an error with a specific .dll file "MSVCR80.dll". The current AppVer is 9.0.0.332 and ModVer 8.0.50727.4053. I have had a look on the forums to see if anyone else is getting an error like this and i cant seem to find anything in relation to this issue.
I have checked security permission's, cleared the users local profiles, rebuilt the machines and reinstalled it but keeps flagging up with the same issue. I dont know if anyone knows of this error or knows of a solution on how to get this resolved but any feedback at all would be grateful.
Regards
Mike

Thanks for that SimonATS
Had a look and have resolved the issue thanks to your post, I ran adobe under an admin account (which allows access due to allowing permissions on top level) ran the updates under the "Help" tab and upgraded it to 9.2, then ran perfect !
If anyone else experiences this issue would suggest running updates, but if you cant run the program full stop ! would suggest SimonATS suggestion, that will get you back up and running

  • Acrobat 9.0 Pro runtime error

    Hello!
    I just installed the brandnew Adobe 9.0 Pro. I can open it but after 3 seconds a runtime error appears: "Program C:\program files\adobe\acrobat9.0\acrobat.exe. This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unsusal way."
    I have called the support line, but they couldn't help me further. Also I have browsed the forum here and tried to rename the updater.dll without success. I have a small business server with XP Professional. It seems that the local user (not the user of the network) can work with the program. As soon as I log on with a network user, the above error occurs.
    Maybe someone has the same problem. Any help appreciated!
    Cheers

    We had also the same problem !
    From the Adobe support we just got this message meaning that this is not supported in ADS domains, just local accounts and we just can use Adobe Open Options (see below, in german)
    If someone has a solution for this problem, please let me know!
    Best regards

    Vielen Dank für die Anfrage.
    Bei der Produktpalette des Adobe Acrobat handelt es sich um
    Softwareprodukte, die für den Gebrauch auf lokal gesteuerten Benutzerkon
    ten konzipiert wurde. Daher kann es bei Netzwerkkonten (z. Bsp. Domainumgebungen) zu Problemen der Rechteverlinkung etc. kommen.
    Aus diesem Grund gibt es für den Acrobat die Möglichkeit, über die
    sogenannte Adobe Open Options (kurz AOO) auf eine Terminalserver- oder
    Citrix-Umgebung auszuweichen. Für nähere Informationen diesbezüglich
    wenden Sie sich bitte an unsere Kollegen aus der AOO Abteilung unter der
    Rufnummer 01795 - 647 84 Telefonmenü-Nummer 3.
    Bei eventuellen Rückfragen stehen wir ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.

  • Acrobat 6.0 Professional Install Error

    Hello,
    I just did a fresh install of Windows XP Home Edition, and when I attempted to reinstall Acrobat 6.0 Professional I received the following error message approximately 85-90% into the install process: "Internal error 2753. Dist_acrodist.exe"
    Does anyone know what this error is and how I can overcome it and get Acrobat reinstalled?
    Many thanks!
    Scott

    Scott,
    Did you ever get past the error? If so, how? I'm getting the same error on reinstall.

  • Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin for Microsoft Office 365 does not work. When I check the cox for COM Add-ins, it unchecks it. "A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in." I use Adobe X Professional. The Add-in worked fine in Office 2

    I recently upgraded to Microsoft 365 Home and use Outlook 2013. The Acrobat PDFMaker Addin worked fine in Office 2010. Now, I get an error message: Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in.
    I use Adobe Acrobat X Professional.
    I have restarted Outlook, restarted my computer, and nothing changes.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Steve

    I do not think that AA X is compatible with the newest versions of OFFICE and such. Your only choice is to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugins to create PDFs.

  • Runtime Error on Acrobat.exe.

    I am using Acrobat Professional version 8 on XP SP3.  It had always worked in the past but now, after opening, I get a Runtime error when trying to make a new PDF.
    Event Viewer gives:
    "Faulting application acrobat.exe, version 8.1.0.137, faulting module adobeupdater.dll, version 5.0.0.316, fault address 0x000475a3."
    I have run the Repair in the installer from the original distribution disk to no effect.  This was after a system reboot and with nothing else started.  The system runs Trend for security, which had not fully started either when I tried to re-run the program.  I jave also run repair from the Help menu in the application itself, with a reboot afterward.  There have been no significant changes made to the system, except possibly automatic updates, since it was working fine.  It even crashes when I try to get the versionn number form the Help-About menu selection.

    I would suggest going to Help>Repair. Then doing Help>Update to get the updates current. Hopefully that will resolve the problem. When you do a repair from the original CD, you may lose updates.

  • Acrobat v9 Pro and Standard Runtime Error!

    My company recently got in the CD's from Adobe for Acrobat 9 Professional and Acrobat 9 Standard.
    I installed Acrobat 9 Pro on one of our systems. The system got a runtime error every time Adobe Acrobat started citing "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusal way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
    Initially, I thought it was an issue with that system. So, I installed Acrobat Standard on two other systems. Both units get the same error.
    Of the 3 units 2 are identical IBM workstations with some different software installed. 1 is an HP system. The OS is a fairly clean Windows XP SP2 otherwise very stable installation.
    I searched Adobe forums and here but haven't come across much version 9 questions/comments.
    Initially, I was going to fully uninstall Acrobat and try the installation again. However, now that 2 other systems are getting the same error, I feel it would be a waste of time.
    Any ideas on what to look for to resolve this issue?
    Previous version was the latest v8 which 9 uninstalled.
    Thanks in advance!
    -Dean
    EDIT: I did come across this for version 8 and tried the same fix with 9, but to no effect:

    C++ Runtime error after launching Acrobat or Adobe Reader 8 on Windows
    Issue
    When you launch Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, Professional, or Adobe Reader 8 on Windows, an error occurs:
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    Solution
    Disable the Updater.api plug-in.
    Navigate to where Acrobat or Adobe Reader is installed, usually
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins
    or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\plug_ins
    Rename the Updater.api plug-in to Updater.api.old
    Relaunch Acrobat or Reader.

    So here is the flaw... Since i dont see many people saying WHAT the flaw is.
    ==== THIS IS WITH ROAMING PROFILE CRASHES! ====
    Adobe's program iterates the network path from left to right, skipping the first word: \\Server\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\APPLICATION DATA as it searches a user's profile for the APPLICATION DATA folder.
    So starting at FOLDER1 it checks to see if it can "create" a folder. It doesnt do it, but it tries to check its access. If your not in the users profile at this point, the program MOST LIKELY cannot because its a directory NOT owned by the user. THe previous folders is something you wouldn't give NORMAL users access to.
    After the program FAILS to "create" its folder because it cannot -
    The program Crashes:
    *R6025 - Pure Virtual function call
    * The exception unknown software exception (0x40000015) occurred in the application at location 0x2e80f5e3
    * C++ runtime error
    * WINDOWS NAME Collision error.
    === ITS ALL OF THESE! Same error, different points in the crashing ===
    Solution?
    I create a network drive DIRECTLY to the profile, then I update the registery to make that the WINDOWS APPDATA path. ALL of this is done on the user logon scripts. So it was just "solved" one day, except for a new drive letter appearing.
    (Added to login script)
    net use l: \\SERVER\USER PROFILE TREE\USER PROFILE
    REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" /v AppData /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "l:\Application Data" /f
    For our work we use: \\SERVER\USER PROFILE TREE\%USERNAME%\%COMPUTERNAME% - so each user has SEPERATE data per computer they are on.
    ADOBE - PLEASE update your code so it doesnt iterate like this! If it does RESUME on error, to see if its recoverable before the END of the interation. These are simple mistakes...
    THIS will also fix the SIMILAR / SAME(?) BUG in ROXIO products.

  • Runtime error Outlook.exe with Acrobat 7.0.9

    I use Acrobat 7.0.9 professional with Office 2000. When using Outlook I get often messages "Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library Runtime error! Program: X:\Apps\Microsoft Office\Office]Outlook.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in a unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro crashes at start up: Runtime Error-please help

    I have Adobe CS4 installed on my Windows 7 PC. In addition, I have Adobe Reader XI and InDesign 6 installed. If I remember correctly, after I installed Adobe Reader XI, I uninstalled the version of the Reader which came with CS4.
    So here’s my problem: When I try to download a PDF that has been sent to me in an email or open one that already exists on my computer, this happens:
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C…
    The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    When I click OK, I get this:
    Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has stopped working.
    If I try to Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro from my start menu, the same thing happens.
    This makes no sense to me because
    I don’t have the knowledge to figure this out. I have no idea what Runtime is.
    Prior to a computer meltdown a couple of months ago and a complete reinstallation of everything, these very same programs all worked just fine.
    I don’t understand why, when I try to open an emailed PDF, they don’t automatically open in Adobe Reader XI rather than Adobe Acrobat. Isn’t the general idea that people be able to open and view sent PDFs which they have been sent, which is what the Reader is for, and not usually edit them, which is what Adobe Acrobat is for?
    If, instead of trying to open the emailed PDFs, I save them to my computer, I can launch Adobe Reader XI and open them from within that program without any problem. That’s OK if I just need to view the PDF, but I need to be able to edit PDFs too, so I must get Adobe Acrobat 9.0 to work.
    Would reinstalling Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro help? Is there a way to reinstall that program only from the installation disks or would have to reinstall CS4 entirely?
    I cannot open Adobe Acrobat 9.0 at all, so any solutions which must be done with the program open are not possible.
    I would really appreciate some help.

    SOLVED!
    Resetting Internet Explorer didn't work, Reinstalling Acrobat 9.0 Pro didn't work, but changing a registry key did.
    Here's where I found the solution:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error opening PDF files - Microsoft Community
    Here is the relevant post, but before you try it, read my note below:
    Hi,
    This is known issue with Acrobat for several versions now, Adobe's current fix is just to update their software: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404597.html
    The problem is with the application data being misdirected.
    "The affected user has a redirected Application Data folder and as a result the network path containing the Application Data uses a UNC path that begins with \\. This UNC path causes Acrobat 9.0 or Adobe Reader 9.0 to incorrectly parse the Application Data path and give the error message."
    A potential Solution would be to go into the registry. Left Click type "regedit" and right click and run the program with "run as administrator". Go to Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders and make sure see where "AppData" is pointing. If it is pointing to "%UserProfile%/Application Data" change it to point to "%UserProfile%/AppData/Roaming".
    BUT, be careful about one thing: This poster seems to have accidentally used forward slashes when he should have use back slashes. Look at the very last line of his post where he advises "If it is pointing to "%UserProfile%/Application Data" change it to point to "%UserProfile%/AppData/Roaming". You'll find, or at least I did, that this key has a back slash, not a forward slash, so changing what I found: "%UserProfile%\Application Data" to "%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming" worked and now Acrobat 9.0 works fine.

  • C++ Runtime Error on Adobe Acrobat 9 Startup

    The error received upon starting up Adobe Acrobat 9.0 is a Visual C++ Runtime error. the exact message is:
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    This began when Intuit Quickbooks 2009 was installed onto the system. Quickbooks was installed and attempted to be activated several times all of which ended in failure (retail purchased software) and the activation for the software was eventually locked out by the vendor.
    This is when it was noticed that Acrobat was no longer functioning, and upon startup of the program it gives the above error message, which it does after displaying the acrobat window, but before it finishes loading.
    Both repairing the installation of Acrobat and a complete Uninstallation/registry cleaning(with CCleaner)/Reinstallation was unsuccessful in fixing this issue. The error-fix documented in knowledgebase article kb404597 (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb404597&sliceId=2) was also unsucessful in solving this issue.
    Having looked into the windows event viewer, the error does produce and entry as follows:
    Description:
    Faulting application Acrobat.exe, version 9.0.0.332, time stamp 0x4850eb76, faulting module scrchpg.dll, version 7.0.1.325, time stamp 0x47ac76e7, exception code 0x40000015, fault offset 0x00010329, process id 0x3608, application start time 0x01c9a04e7e0e994f.

    Have you sent PaulRB a private message with your crash logs and reports? Try that out and see if you can get a response (make sure you reference this thread).
    If you don't hear back, I would recommend reposting your issue in new thread with some more details specific to your application. This thread has been relatively inactive and you might get better exposure by starting fresh.

    How do I deal with a Runtime Error on Adobe Acrobat 9.5? The instructions say to contact the support team but I have to pay in order to do so.

    What operating system and what is the statement of the error. Typically you would first run a repair on Acrobat from the help menu (or in Windows you can do that from the Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs).
