Acrobat 9 won't install updates (cant close porgram)

I have installed Adobe creative suite 3 and adobe acrobat 9 standard. Every time acrobat starts it tells me updates are available do you wish to install. I say yes and it tells me that it must shut down acrobat to do this. Do you want to continue or cancel? I hit continue, it shuts down acrobat and then 30 seconds later tells me it was unable to shut down acrobat and that it will not install updates. For some reason the installer thinks Acrobat is running whenever it tries to install updates even if it is not. We have reinstalled my adobe creative suite package and this allowed me to run updates in acrobat one time. 2 weeks later I am not able to install updates again. Any thoughts on what this could be? I am running windows XP.
thanks for any help,
-ryan

Thanks for your feedback. I tried doing what you suggested. (It turns out that I actually have acrobat 8.1.0 standard)Acrobat tells me I need to install security update 8.1.2. I download this file from the link you sent me and tried to install it manually. Now I get a warning that tells me the window installer cannot install update because the program is missing or upgrade patch may be for a different version.
Any thoughts

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.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.1 Won't Install Updates

Adobe Updater shows that the following update is available:
Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0 (CPSID_5026)
When I select the update and click install, it downloads the the update, but as soon as it finishes downloading and starts the installation process, I get the following pop-up box:
"The installation process has incountered a problem. Please choose from the following option." My choices are "Run this update again", "Stop installing and continue later", or Cancel this update and quit".
My only real option is to cancel the update and quit.
I tried downloading the updates directly from the website in addition to downloading them from the help menu in Adobe.
Not sure if it has any relevance, but I'm currently running Windows XP Version 5.1 with Service Pack 3.
Can anyone offer some assistance to get the updates installed?

My personal experience with Acrobat updates is that they MUST be installed in numerical order. I checked the Adobe updates for Acrobat 9. There are two updates (9.1.2 and 9.1.3) that you need to download and update Acrobat before downloading and installing 9.2.0.
The update feature from inside Acrobat only seems to work if Acrobat is updated with the most recent predecessor update. A very clumsy way to do it indeed!
Good luck.

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.

Adobe Acrobat XI won't install on the specified drive

I have Creative Cloud settings set to install all application on drive D: because C: drive is low on space. I have Muse and Photoshop already installed on drive D: but when I try to install Acorbat XI it tries to install it on C: and i get an "insufficient disk space" error.
Why do all the other application install on D: as specified in the settings, but Acrobat keeps trying to install on C:?
How can i fix this?

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum.
Urshah it is likely that Acrobat is not recognizing the custom install location due to the utilization of different installation technology than the majority of Adobe Creative software titles included in a Creative Cloud Membership.
I would recommend uninstalling Acrobat utilizing the process listed in Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
You can then download a copy of Acrobat 11 Professional from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X. You can select a custom install location and install Acrobat in trial mode. Once installed please choose the option to License this Software and enter the Adobe ID tied to your membership. You can find additional details at Convert Creative Suite 6 applications to Creative Cloud membership.

Acrobat XI won't install if My Documents is redirected

We've seen this issue with Adobe Acrobat as well as HP print drivers and a few other installers. To say it is frustrating is an understatement. Hoping someone can shed some light on this.
As a standard part of our workstation setups, we edit the properties on the My Documents library and change it's location from C:\users\username\documents to H:\Documents (H: is mapped to a network "home" drive for each user). This ensures that the user's files are saved on the network, where they get backed up daily.
However, several installers seem to take issue with this and won't install, saying they can't find the H: drive. Adobe's installer is among the guilty parties.
We have a work-around for the issue... we change the My Documents library back to it's default c: drive location. Run the install, then re-direct it back to the network volume after the install completes. We have observed that the installer writes nothing to this path (even checking hidden/system files), so it obviously doesn't really need this path to function.
What is the issue here, and why hasn't Adobe and other vendors addressed it? We know we aren't the only company who redirects libraries in this manner. It's good practice to safeguard your users data. Why do the installers barf on this?
Inquiring minds want to know!

After Downloading 10.5.2 Update, Computer Won't Install Update, Just Sits?

+*Hi, I have a Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.1 Leopard. I recently tried to download the 10.5.2 Update, it downloaded successfuly, but when I try to install it, it sits and the loading bar doesn't move at all. I've let it sit for several hours (12 to be exact) and it didn't move at all. I force-shut down the computer, but now I can't re-download it. The update for my computer is 182 MB. How do I fix this?*+

There are two possibilities: You download is corrupted.
You can download the full 10.5.2 update here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1052comboupdate .html
and install it.
The other possibility is that if you have installed the recent TimeMachine/Airport update it probably won't instal anyway. There are many threads here about it. You should look them over.

IMac G5 iSight won't shut down, won't install updates

Hi all,
My iMac G5 (iSight) is giving me some grief.
First, some details:
OSX 10.5.7
I have been trying to update this machine and have successfully updated a few things, such as iTunes, iLife, etc. Updates that don't require a restart seem to go just fine. I am unable to install updates to QT7, Safari because the installer hangs up while "Configuring Installation" and won't go any further, no matter how long you leave it.
This iMac also will not shut down. The finder icons disappear, the desktop image remains, and the grey spinning wheel goes on and it will simply not shut down until forced using the power button.
It is starting and functioning otherwise with no problems.
I have disconnected it from drives and and the network in case there was something on the network keeping it, but no luck. I have run Disk Utility and repaired permissions, reset the PRAM and the SMU, as well. No joy. Incidentally, my partner's MacBook Air is also having the exact same problem as this iMac (I posted as well in the MBA forums), but my own laptop, the one I'm using now (details below) is having no problem at all and all updates have taken.
Has anyone any suggestions about anything else I can try to clear this issue before I ring Applecare tomorrow?
Many thanks!

Hi Miriam,
I've just tried to run a Hardware Test but the disk is clearly from an older iMac I once had (pre-iSight) because it doesn't want to know about it. I have doubts about it being a logic board problem, however, because I'm having the same problems with a MacBook Air (but not my MacBook Pro) and it only started after a recent round of updates. Worrying, yes, but apart from not installing updates that require a restart or simply shutting down both machines seem to be performing perfectly. It's a bit confusing.
Thanks!

My Macbook Won't Install updates

I just purchased a Macbook Pro and it won't automatically update the software. It looks like it downloads the software but then just quits and never ends up installing.

It never automatically updates the software, updates do need to be preformed manually. Try logging out of the app store, restarting the computer, and logging back in. Then run your updates again

Itunes won't install update to recognize my iphone comes up with a error cannot find Itunes.msi

my itunes won't instal the update errors saying cannot find itunes.msi

Hi, kdub5.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you can not update iTunes due to a .msi error. I would recommend uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components as outlined in the first article below. For any component that gives you the .msi error, go through the steps in the second article below.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when you remove Apple software in Windows
