Acrobat CS4 won't launch because of Air error

When I try to launch Acrobat CS4 on a Windows XP computer a window pops up saying Adobe AIR needs to update first, so I let it update but when it finishes the process I get an error message saying "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance." I have tried uninstalling AIR then downloading and installing the latest version from Adobe's site but it still tries to update when I run Acrobat and it still locks up with the same error message. I've checked and I do have all the latest updates for Acrobat installed and I've definietely got the latest version of AIR... I've even run a uninstall clean up utility from microsoft just to make sure I've removed all old instances of AIR but nothing seems to help.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Some info would be needed ...
OS/CPU/GPU/RAM is always good ... and then the specific version of PrPro you're using, whether you've been running and this suddenly occurred, or if this is the first time you've tried to use the program after installation ... that sort of thing.

  • Photoshop CS4 won't launch because scratch disc missing?

    How do I resolve this without re-installing?

    Try trashing the Photoshop preferences
    Restore all preferences to default settings
    Do one of the following:
    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings.
    (Mac OS only) Open the Preferences folder in the Library folder, and drag the Adobe Photoshop CS Settings folder to the Trash.New Preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

  • Acrobat X won't launch even after following all posted solutions

    I have a licensed academic version of CS6 running on a win 8.1 64 bit computer. The software has been installed for < 1 week and was licensed immediately. Acrobat X won't launch. It shows me the window with a large screenshot of what I was previously looking at. I then have to crash out of it. I tried deactivating and reactivitating it last night and it worked fine. One solution also said to update the software. So I did. Now it won't work again. I tried the following solutions:
    1) Run the patch in windows
    2) Run the acrofix patch through cmd
    3) Deactivate/reactivate
    4) Update software again (no new updates anyway)
    5) Look for and change name of cache.db (no such file)
    What can I do? This is a huge hinderance to my work. Thanks!

    The software has been fully activated including getting my serial number through registration of an academic account, activating my online account, and activating the account. There are, as far as I can tell, no further things that I need to do. By reinstalling the software I was able to get Acrobat to work again, but I am afraid now that I won't be able to run any updates.

  • HT201210 Just updates itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Just updated itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • My iphone 3g won't restore because of an error 1015. Can you help me please

    my iphone 3g won't restore because of an error 1015. Can you help me please

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
    The above comes from this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Do not try to downgrade the version of iOS you have.

  • CS4 won't launch - what a joke!

    Great - Apple send out OSX 10.6.3 & then the CS4 suite edition won't launch!
    Adobe promote the product with statements like:
    Are  Creative Suite 4 products and components compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
    Yes. Working closely with Apple, Adobe has tested the Creative Suite 4 products and components and determined they are compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the latest version of Apple's operating system.
    Spending close to 120 minutes on the phone to an offshore service centre (Adobe' support) & you get disconnected from their end & an email:
    We had a interaction regarding your issue that you could not lauch Design Premium CS4. Unfortunatly (sic) the call got disconnected. Here are the solutions for your issue Solution 1: Revert to Mac OS 10.6.2 or earlier
    So, Adobe are telling me that the Design Premium CS4 editition of their software is not compatible with OSX10.6.3
    That is just not good enough & I will be asking for a refund!

    What kind of a nut would completely fail to realise that it was Craig Keeler-Milne, and not myself, who has the problem with CS4 not launching?
    What kind of a nut would completely fail to realise that all Craig Keeler-Milne really wanted to do was vent a little in a forum where there's at least a remote possibility someone from Adobe may read it - and NOT to suffer the sanctimonious condescension of pious meddlers such as yourself?
    What kind of a nut would completely fail to realise that BOTH Apple and Adobe are responsible for compatibility, but that more and more these days, Adobe couldn't care less when it comes to Macs - so Craig Keeler-Milne has every right to be fed up?
    What kind of a nut would completely fail to realise that all your drivel provided was smug self-gratification, and THAT'S what I objected to? Clearly I was simply defending Craig Keeler-Milne's right to have his say.
    Were my posts not clear enough? Did they confuse you? Perhaps you could benefit from some remedial reading and comprehension lessons? Perhaps I could post a few links for you, then snidely explain their obvious purpose? Not that I'm being sanctimoniously condescending or anything - no, of course not. Perhaps if you tried really hard to "raise your level of intelligence" then maybe, just maybe, you'd get it.
    Pathetic.

  • Acrobat XI won't launch

    Downloaded acrobat xi successfully on my new pc (windows 8) but it won't launch, error 213:19.  I previously installed and used it on my old pc successfully.  I was thinking it might be a registration issue, so I just registered my Acrobat, but still no launch.  Any ideas?

    Please refer to the following help document on Error code: 213:19 while installing Acrobat XI.

  • Minecraft Won't Launch Because of a Java or Root Certificate Error I Started Having When I Put The Install Disk in And Downloaded Mac OSX Snow Leopard

    I need help. I recently tried opening Minecraft after re-installing Mac OSX Snow Leopard with the Mac OSX Install DvD and now every time I try to open the internet these stupid certificate errors come up and Minecraft says it can't launch because of a broken/missing root certificate

    Hello Shelby,
    Thank you so much for the details regarding the issue you are experiencing with the Snow Leopard installation.  I recommend following these steps if you are having trouble installing Snow Leopard:
    The installation wasn’t successful
    If you were unable to install Mac OS X, try the following:
    Disconnect any external devices you don’t need during installation.
    Remove any cards from manufacturers other than Apple.
    Try installing Mac OS X again.
    If you were unable to install Mac OS X again, choose Utilities > Disk Utility. Select the disk on which you want to install, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk. After repairing any problems, quit Disk Utility and then click Continue to try installing again.
    If you’re still unable to install Mac OS X, try erasing the disk before installing Mac OS X. Before you erase your disk, try copying your files to an external disk. When you’re ready to erase and reinstall Mac OS X, follow the instructions in the “Restoring your computer to factory settings” section of this document.
    I found this on page 7 of the Snow Leopard Installation Instructions:
    Snow Leopard Installation Instructions
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Snow_Leopard_Installation_Instructions.pdf
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Photoshop CS4 won't launch

    I'm getting this error message "Could not open scratch file because the disk is not available."
    The disk is mounted and on the desktop. All I did was go into photoshop CS4 and add another scratch area which is one of the Hard drives mounted on the desk top. I'm running the latest Leopard 10.5.7 my Mac is Dual-Core Intel with 9GB ram, The Hard drive I have Photoshop on is a new 1TB Seagate and a similar one using for the other scratch disk. I had just installed this new HD formatted it OK and Carbon copy cloned every thing from my back Up. I was running Photoshop for a while then I realized I wanted to add another scratch disk area (or disk). I quit Photoshop after I made the change and tryed to open it when I got the error.

    Why the heck did you do that, James? 
    I said highlight the icon of the bloody HARD DRIVE you want to designate as a scratch drive; not the darned Photoshop application icon!
    CHECK the "Ignore ownership on this volume" box.

    So what???  If you want to do editing on another drive you can still launch the one and only copy that will work on your bloody machine, namely the one installed and activated on your startup drive.
    Any other copies of Photoshop you have installed on different drives attached to your computer WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED, they won't even launch, they won't work at all!  However, they will confuse the hell out of the working copy of Photoshop.
    When you edit video you can just boot off the same startup drive.  Who led you on that totally screwed path?  Had you ever used a Mac before?  You have to learn Mac 101.
    You desperately need to get this book [CLICK HERE] and study it carefully.

  • Photoshop CS4 won't launch....Why is it freezing...now?

    Using Design Premium CS4.....in my Program file  folder, there are two PS programs listed, this just started today..I try to open either version they hang forever.
