Acrobat 9 Professional won't install from CS4 discs

I am not able to install Acrobat 9 Pro from my CS4 DVDs. All of the other programs install.
I have tried the following:
- Uninstalled all other versions of Acrobat Professional
- Copied the DVDs to the desktop and tried installing from there
- Used the Microsoft Windows Installer Utility (could not find any references to Acrobat Professional)
- Disabled anti-virus software
- Disabled Windows startup services that might conflict
Nothing has worked.
I found something online that indicated the problem might be a corrupt data1.cab file.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I can try next?
Thank you!

The Acrobat 9 download won't accept my CS4 license. What I ended up doing was jumping through several hoops to get this to work:
Edited Acrobat out of the registry - no change, still pauses during installation
Uninstall CS4 entirely
Run Adobe CS4 Clean Script - see http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
Run Microsoft Installer Cleanup program
Reinstall CS4 including Acrobat
Neither the registry edit, Clean Script or Microsoft installer cleanup fix the problem on their own. Yet, when I did them all in succession, Acrobat installed successfully - finally! I hope this information spares someone else from investing too many hours to fix their installation problem.

Acrobat 9 won't install from CS4 dvd

Yesterday, I reported an issue with Acrobat. A users PC crashed a few weeks ago & I reinstalled CS4 from the original DVD we purchased. All applications installed except for Acrobat. I was instructed to download CS4 from the following website: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
then install Acrobat only. However, when I attempt to install it, the computer hangs at "Preparing to Install..." The PC isn't frozen, I just can't get the installer to move forward. Adobe won't help since this is an older version. All my online searches regarding this issue simply reveal that many other users have the same problem installing Acrobat from DVD - but I can't find anyone who has a solution. Has anyone in this forum found a work-around to get Acrobat 9 installed?

Can't install from CS4 disc

I was having an issue printing from Acrobat Pro 9 and was advised to re-install it. I first un-installed it and then tried to re-install it from the original CS4 disc. It just hung at 'preparing to install'. Eventually I gave up and copied the Acrobat application across from my laptop. Then on launch it wouldn't accept the serial no for my CS4. Apparently I have to install Acrobat from the original disc for the serial no. to work. I have tried. I created a new admin user on my Mac and that didn't work. I tired copying the contents of the CS4 disc to my desktop before installing and that didn't work. I also tried to launch in safe mode but that seemed to hang!
I've run out of ideas but really need to get Acrobat back. Adobe won't help because the version is too old. I'd be grateful if anyone out there could help me get back up and running. I wish I'd never un-installed Acrobat!
I am using Mountain Lion.
Thank you : )

Recovery = Windows won't install from recovery discs

I have a dv6, performed recovery off the purchased 2 discs, and it says Windows won't install. Also, will not let me log into administrator...says my account has been disabled. Need help asap, on roomies pc.

I also tried using a HP Windows Recovery Disk from HP for my HP G71-340US Notebook Computer, but it repeatedly fails the installation with the message:
"No OS Flag Set on Unit. Please use EEPROM to set OS SKU value = 2. Error RStone S Update SRU option configuration is invalid, Loc # cound not be found in product #. Next step: Please use EEPROM to set Loc # in either SKU # or CTO localization code".
This occurs repeatedly when trying to run the Recovery Disk from HP.
I believe there is an EEPROM problem, but I do not know what to try next. I have backed up all my persoal data, but everything is wipped off the hard disk, currently. I can get into the BIOS, but that does not seem to be of any help. HP tech support is of no help.
Thanks for any help or recommendations.

Elements 6 won't install from Bamboo Disc

Our school recently bought some Wacom tablets that had Elements 6 as additional software on the Bamboo disc. I have a lab of 10 new iMacs running Snow Leopard. 4 out of the 10 computers will not load Elements 6. When I double click on the Setup icon it bounces in the dock for a few seconds, then just stops. These are all the same computers, with the same software, can't figure out why some won't install. Can't be the discs as the disc that works on one machine won't work on another. These computers have never had a different version of Elements. Any help?? Thanks.

It still won't work. I took the computers off the network, same problem. Typically what happens is the setup icon bounces in the dock, but never asks for admin credentials. On one of the computers, I tried again to double click on the setup icon and nothing happens, it appears as though the app tries to launch (happens very quickly) but then nothing, no bouncing in the dock.

Boot Camp Trouble: 7 Pro x64 SP1 won't install from OEM Disc

Hey Apple Support Community,
So I am trying to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 onto my Mac (specs below), but I run into the same error every time. During the "Expanding Windows Files," phase I get an error message:
Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570
The particulars of my setup are as follows:
• Late 2008/Early 2009 Unibody Macbook Pro
• 2.66Ghz C2D
• 8GB RAM (OWC)
• 240 GB SSD replacing the original HDD (OWC, running 10.7.3)
• 1 TB HDD replacing the optical drive (WD, partitioned 150GB for Windows install)
• External USB enclosure w/ Apple Superdrive (OWC)
• Install source is a System Builder DVD of Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64.
I know that pretty much the exact same scenario is detailed in another thread (linked below), but I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't any option I was overlooking before I attempted to source a new installer.
Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

Did you see thread of another person with trouble installing?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3808299?tstart=0
Things to try:
reseat the RAM - been there, done that with someone. Even though said it was "fine" and worked in OS X. Their RAM was not fully seated. On PCs it is not unheard of to remove some RAM during install, or use to be.
If you have two drives - unplug one (the SSD). Having two GPT is an issue. Sounds like this is NOT an issue though.
External Superdrive: not an issue, seems you were able to boot from DVD.
Otherwise, you need to edit a plist, not supported by Apple otherwise (there is a thread on how to add your MacBook Pro model number)
SP1 has been an issue for some systems - not sure why and horrible seeing it is newer and is the current version, but their system did work with pre-SP1
This is a DVD you bought, not one you burned. We all know by now the issue surrounding burning an ISO with Disk Utility.
I'm grabiing at straws but does any of that give you any ideas?

Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac-

Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac…?

One of two things:
1. Go to the Terminal App and type the word "sudo" and hit the Enter/Return key. If it comes back with a permissions error then seek from Apple to correct it.
2. If there is no permissions error in the Terminal app then go to the installation log at "/var/log/install.log" or "/private/var/log/install.log". Open it up and see if you find an error about failing to write to the file:
./postinstall: Error in converting the plist /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist to xml1 format
If you get the error above then delete the file at the location and try updating again

Acrobat XI won't install in English

Acrobat XI won't install in English. How do I change that?

Hi,
I have few questions for you :
1. Are you on windows or Macinstosh OS.
2. By default Acrobat installs in OS language. So I would want to know what is your OS language. Is some language pack applied by default?
3. In case of windows OS, You can choose language of installation by double-clicking "Setup.exe". A pop-up windows comes up which has list of languages. Choose the language to be installed in this drop-down and only that language will be installed.
4. In case you have already Installed Acrobat, you can change display language by going to Edit -> Preferences - > Language. In the drop-down against application Language : Choose the option "Choose at Application start-up". Close Acrobat. Launch it again. A drop-down will be presented. Choose "English" here.
OR,
Press down CTRL + SHIFT and Double-click Acrobat shortcut. A drop-down will be presented to select the display language.

What to install from the disc ?

Got my p67a-gd65 running and would like to know what else to install from the disc or not ? so far I've just installed the chipset and the lan drivers and I do have a sata3 hd I'm running off of but I didn't know about the rest of the drivers (Win7 default audio seems to be working fine).

Not 100% sure about sata, But i run win7 and never installed the sata driver. If you want the full control on your sound i would install the sound drivers from disk.

Adobe acrobat 8 won't install with Indesign and Dreamweaver CS4

I have a client who I had to build a new computer for which is Windows XP Pro. On her original machine I had AA8, InDesign CS4, DreamWeaver CS4, Contribute CS5, Adobe Reader 9.3 and Adobe Photoshop 6. I have tried puting AA8 on the new machine that has all of the above on it and I get a response that I have a newer version of AA and it won't install. I don't have any AA on this machine so I'm not sure what to do. She says she can't edit PDFs or combine them and that she can't create a PDF ind Word and Xcel and edit them. Should I tell her to upgrade to AA9 so that it is compatible to the CS4/5 products?
Thanks,
Lgarn

Thank you Bill for replying.
I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting. Activation fails each time I've tried. As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice. They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it. I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
I'll now follow the link you've given me. Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

Can only AA9 be re-installed from CS4

I currently have CS4 installed on my PC (Windows 7 64bit) and Acrobat 9 Pro has many bugs and has never worked properly. I would like to try to re-install Acrobat, but don’t need to reinstall the whole set. Is this possible or do I have to uninstall everything and then reinstall from the discs? Will I have to deactivate everything before I uninstall?

First thing to say is that CS4 and Acrobat 9 are not officially certified for Windows 7 x64. They generally run OK but there are no guarantees in your case it will work any better when you reinstall.
If there's an issue with Acrobat specifically, first point of call should be the Repair Installation option from Acrobat's help menu. If that doesn't help, you can add or remove programs from the CS collections without affecting the entire install: Go to your Add/Remove Programs tool on the windows Control Panel, choose your CS4 entry and click Modify. The checkboxes control what is and is not installed, but an uninstall and reinstall of Acrobat will reset it to the base version, and the subsequent updates will need to be re-downloaded (you can't apply them all at once).
You don't need to deactivate anything unless it's being moved to a new computer.

Flash will not install from CS4 Web Premium on XP

I installed CS4 Web Premium a while back and, since I do not do a lot of Flash development, I didn't realize right off that Flash CS4 did not install. However, I just tried to go back and install it from the DVD and it shows in the list but the box in front of it is uncheckable. The heading at the top says to check the boxes to install or reinstall the applications. Other programs such as Dreamweaver, Contribute, Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. can be checked but the box in front of Flash (and Soundbooth, etc.) are unresponsive. I do still have CS3 Web Premium on this machine which has Flash CS3 Professional and Flash CS3 Video Encoder as well as also still having Studio 8 and CS 2 with Flash 8 and Flash 8 Video encoder and InDesign CS2 & CS3, Visual Communicator, VlogIt, etc.. Do I need to remove any of those first? This machine is about 3 years old (Dell Optiplex GX620) running Win XP. I'm about to upgrade to a new machine in about a month that will be running Windows 7. So I will be doing a clean install of CS4 Web Premium then. But it would be nice to fix this so I can work on some Flash files before then. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I'm assuming you are using the Manual Install. Did you already Uninstall any current Flash Player version?
If not, download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Use the EXE Installer for Windows and Internet Explorer. Use the EXE Installer for the plugin based browsers
Then use the Administrator Account and CLOSE all browser Windows. Disable any instant messenger service from the system tray.
Run the Uninstaller and reboot(restart) your computer.
Then Run the Installer and reboot.
That message appears because the IE browser window is open.
Thanks,
