Acrobat Pro X reinstall Fails

I received an Acrobat Pro update notification and started the update process. Update failed and the message said it needed to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Pro.
I followed Adobe’s advice. But I have not been able to get Acrobat Pro to finish installing on my MacPro (desktop) runs on OSX 10.9.5. I have read lots of help files, and group discussions. I have tried all sorts of things including uninstalling various ways and reinstalling various ways. I tried other utilities to scrub residual Adobe files. I've tried installing as root user, in safe mode, etc.
My Acrobat Pro is part for the CS6 suite. It is an original CS6 install disk (not a download). Other parts of CS6 suite are working fine. Along the way I've rebuilt permissions and done various disk maintenance several times. I even had to restore from Time Machine once.
Throughout all of this, about the same thing always happens. The CS installer runs fine for everything up to the last stage of installation for Acrobat. When the installer finishes, it says Acrobat install failed. The latest error log is below.
My Acrobat Pro was able to update until 11.0.09 Pro update on 9/11/14. Before the latest update and Acrobat actually runs, and works fine. The main indicator that something isn't right is that when I try to update it, the update (also seems to run OK until about the end but then) says it can't update Acrobat because something has been changed. The other CS applications run and update fine.
I lost the Acrobat Pro Since I uninstalled and have not been able to reinstall back to my CS6 suite. I'm tired of trying things without knowing what I'm trying to fix. It's clear that this type of problem is pretty widespread with Adobe Acrobat. So, does anyone really understand what the problem with their installer is??

Hi Anoop,
Thank you for the response. But It did not work. I already tried running my
Mac in Safe Boot Mode and then install Acrobat. I tried again after I
received this email instruction. it failed again.
My question is How to reinstall Acrobat X Pro?
This is how it happened:
I received an Acrobat X Pro update notification and started the update
process. Update failed and the message said it needed to uninstall and
reinstall Acrobat X Pro.
I followed Adobe¹s advice. But I have not been able to get Acrobat Pro to
finish installing on my MacPro (desktop) runs on OSX 10.9.5. I have read
lots of help files, and group discussions. I have tried all sorts of things
including uninstalling various ways and reinstalling various ways. I tried
other utilities to scrub residual Adobe files. I've tried installing as root
user, in safe mode, etc.
My Acrobat X Pro is part for the CS6 suite. It is an original CS6 install
disk (not a download). Other parts of CS6 suite are working fine. Along the
way I've rebuilt permissions and done various disk maintenance several
times. I even had to restore from Time Machine once.
Throughout all of this, about the same thing always happens. The CS
installer runs fine for everything up to the last stage of installation for
Acrobat. When the installer finishes, it says Acrobat install failed. The
latest error log is below.
My Acrobat X Pro was able to update before v11.0.09 Pro update on 9/11/14.
Before the latest update and Acrobat actually runs, and works fine. The main
indicator that something isn't right is that when I try to update it, the
update (also seems to run OK until about the end but then) says it can't
update Acrobat because something has been changed. The other CS applications
run and update fine.
I lost the Acrobat X Pro since I uninstalled and have not been able to
reinstall back to my CS6 suite. I'm tired of trying things without knowing
what I'm trying to fix. It's clear that this type of problem is pretty
widespread with Adobe Acrobat. So, does anyone really understand what the
problem with their installer is??

  • Acrobat Pro X Install Fails

    I have not be able to get Acrobat Pro X to finish installing on my MacBook for several years. I have read lots of help files, and group discussions. I have tried all sorts of things including unstalling various ways and reinstalling various ways. I tried other utilities to scrub residual Adobe files. I've tried installing as root user, in safe mode, etc.
    The problem started at least as far back as when I first tried to install CS 5.5 and was running 10.6, and it still persists now that I am trying to install CS 6 and running 10.7. Along the way I've rebuilt permissions and done various disk maintaince several times. I even had to restore from Time Machine once.
    Throughout all of this, about the same thing alway happens. The CS installer runs fine for everything up to the last stage of installation for Acrobat. When the installer finishes, it says Acrobat install failed. The lastest error log is below.
    Despite the message, Acrobat actually runs, and mostly works fine. The main indicator that something still isn't right is that when I try to update it, the update (also seems to run OK until about the end but then) says it can't update Acrobat because something has been changed. The other CS applications run and update fine.

  • Another way Acrobat Pro X startup fails can be fixed  - informational

    I'd like to recount an experience here, which had the same symptoms as the long run of Adobe Activation system errors. The odd process to recover from those is still needed, but the cause of the initial failure here turns out to not be Adobe's fault. Rather, Microsoft's, I think.
    The Symptom: you try to run Acrobat. It fails to show any screen, and the activity cursor soon dies away. If you watch via the Windows task manager, you can see a flicker, but then it's gone. No amount of reinstalling, etc. will fix this. I had this happen to the Acrobat Pro X which is part of CS6.
    The Solution: I had tried everything in the forum, especially the responses suggesting the problem was with Activation. However, that was not it this time. The problem was that I had a fresh version of Microsoft's anti-malware EMET program running, EMET 5.1. Acrobat was listed under protected applications, and with nearly every type of protection checked. Here's how I recovered:
    - first, of course, I clicked the master item to remove all checked protections from Acrobat Pro X.
    - Now Acrobat would start, not fail silently, but it gave me a mysterious Error 6 and insisted that I reinstall before it would work.
    - I uninstalled, and then ran the CS6 installer. It refused to accept my serial number when I typed it in, though this had not happened before. Solution: if the CS installer offers you a serial number with the last block blanked with XXXX, accept that. If you do, the installer will run. If you try to replace it, the installer will say it can't authenticate the serial number.
    - running the installer fresh and accepting the number it filled in even with the XXXX, the installer ran, installing the original version of Acrobat.
    - Probably at this stage you will need to reactivate Acrobat. You do this by the procedure which shows many times in the forum:
    = start another CS6 program, such as Photoshop, and Deactivate from the Help menu. Now all of CS6 is deactivated.
    = close the CS6 program, and then open again. Accept when it attempts to register via your Adobe ID. Now the suite is running in trial mode.
    = close the CS6 program again, and open it again. Soon after it opens you will get the opportunity to activate. Choose to do so using a serial number, and then enter your number.
    = Close the CS6 program, then open it once again, closing once again after it's open. These steps activate the suite, and thus your  re-added Acrobat.
    - Now Acrobat will run, and will open a  PDF.
    - I then installed the latest update manually, having downloaded it. This brought Acrobat to the current version 10.1.13, and tests showed all well.
    Glad to feel it's solid again, Acrobat. I haven't gone back to EMET to see what protections it can accept, saving that for another day, since EMET is a useful program for web safety.

    Ok, I had a chance to test EMET 5.1 vs. Acrobat Pro X crashing.
    - deinstalling EMET 5.1 returned Acrobat to working properly, no crashing
    - re-installing EMET 5.1 and accepting the recommended configuration did indeed include both Acrobat and Acrobat Reader configuration, using almost all of EMET's abilities. So Microsoft did it, not me.
    - once again, Acrobat Pro X crashed, not always at startup, but soon enough in viewing pdfs.
    - Acrobat Reader XI (11), however, has no evident problem with its similar EMET configuration. Reader is already supposed to be more secure than Acrobat, and EMET can only increase this safety, so that  it is good to use as default reader within Chrome, for example.
    - Also I should mention that I didn't discover this problem until much later than the EMET installation, because Distiller creating PDFs as a Windows Print job from browsers etc. had no crashing problems. This is possibly because EMET actually isn't configured for that  part of Acrobat.
    - Now, I tried the beginnings of a boolean search on EMET config for Acrobat itself. It didn't take long to discover that the problem EMET facility is SEHOP: Structured Exception Handler Overwrite Protection. This is one of the extra layerings available to try to prevent hackers from exploiting the app state on the way to a crash they deliberately cause. I seem to remember it being a particular problem in compatibility for older programs, and indeed I found some Google evidence it can interfere with Flash also if you run it on Chrome.
    - Then, simply unchecking the SEHOP box on the default EMET configuration for Acrobat, and saving that configuration appears to solve the problems with Acrobat Pro X. You'll then have all the boxes checked except SEHOP and ASR on the end, which was  already unchecked. A lot of apps don't apparently support ASR.
    - Since Reader 11 works with SEHOP, and since Microsoft included it in the standard configuration, I have the idea that Acrobat Pro XI (11) is likely to work without removing SEHOP from the configuration. This method will save you the $200 upgrade until you have reason to need it.
    Hope this is complete enough and straightforward enough as a case now, so that it should help anyone running into Acrobat not starting, or unexplained crashing of Acrobat, after they've installed Microsoft's safety package EMET.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI downloads fail

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI earlier today, but the download failed. When this happened with another software a few days ago, the company had me download the trial version, so I tried that with Pro XI but to no avail. How can I get what I paid for?

  • Silent Install of Acrobat Pro 7.0 fails with Error 1404

    Hi,
    I'm trying to silently install Acrobat Pro 7.0.
    I have created the MST using the Installshield Tuner 7.0, and use the following command line to install:
    msiexec /i acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=mytransform.mst /qb
    I am getting the following error message:
    Error 1404.Could not delete key
    \software\Classes\CLSID\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}
    Verify you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    If i repeat the command without the /qb, and do a manual install (msiexec /i acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=mytransform.mst), it installs without error, so the problem only exists in a silent install.
    System Specs:
    Windows XP SP2 with all MS patches to march 2007
    Acrobat Reader 8.0
    Base image created by SYSprep, and then using Altiris Rdeploy.
    I'm suspecting that a MS patch has locked down that part of the registry, and the Acrobat Pro MSI doesn't have the code to handle this in a silent install.
    I have opened the MSI using Wise installer Pro, and can't see anything strange in it.
    Any help/pointers would be a great help
    Thanks,
    -Mark

    Hi,
    Just Pro 7.0.0 (I'll integrate the patches to 7.0.9 later)
    I'm not keen on an Admin install, as this poses problems when patching (i.e. you have to do a "reinstall=All"). I prefer to integrate released patches into the silent install package, and for subsequent patches, just package them for silent install and push them down to the client.
    Reader 8.0 is on the machine only.
    The base build contains Reader 8.0, the we deliver a package to the machine to silently install Acrobat Pro 7
    Thanks,
    mark

  • Adobe Updater for Acrobat Pro 9.0 FAILS - how can I update??

    My company has about a dozen machines that run Acrobat 9.0 Pro on Windows XP sp3, or Windows 7 sp1.  In the past few months, I've had to reinstall Acrobat 9.0 on these machines for various reasons.  Every single one of them is still at the 9.0 version because Adobe Updater fails to upgrade.  Adobe Updater is trying to download Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0 (CPSID_50026) and fails with "This file cannot be verified"
    I've also tried downloading and installing AcroProExUpd910, AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr, AcroProStdUpd910_T3T4_incr, AcrobatUpd920_all_incr, AcrobatUpd930_all_incr, AcrobatUpd940_all_incr, and none of them will install.  They fail with an error a windows installer error indicating that the path to the program may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. 
    Is there any simple way to fix this so I can update these individual installations???

    All of the updates are available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. Looks like about 14 updates (lot fewer than all the security updates for Windows though). As I indicated there is a process for combining them into a cummulative update, but that is only something I can mention so that you might look in the old Acrobat forums that is read only and see if it is there. In the enterprise topic they give a link to http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobatitinfo to help in this regard. If you are only doing a few cases, it may not be worth the time to combine, but just put them on a memory stick and go around and install them. Most of them cannot be skipped, but must be installed in order. You should be able to get away with out rebooting between versions and simply wait to the end. That would save a bunch of time.
    If the update does not work from the help menu, then the download is your next option as I have indicated. If it works from the help menu it may save you a lot of time, but apparently you are not going to be that lucky.

  • Windows 7 64-bit, Word 2003 SP3, Acrobat Pro 8 - Convert fails

    I've recently upgraded from Windows XP Pro x64 to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  It has not been possible to convert Word docs to Adobe PDF, either in Word itself or using the Explorer context menu option on the doc file.  It always starts and then aborts.  For now, I'm being forced to boot to Windows XP Pro SP3 (my previous main OS) and do it there.  UAC is disabled.  I've tried running Word using "Run this program as an Administrator".
    Is there a solution to this?
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 with SP3 installed
    Adobe Acrobat 8.1.7 Professional
    Thanks,
    Robert

    While had previously downloaded the Windows 2007 Virtual PC, I'm not really too hip on using it.  From my point of view, it would be just as much 'frustration' rebooting into Windows XP Pro compared to running it in the VPC (if not more in the latter).
    As for upgrading to AA 9, not likely soon. Cash is tight enough at the moment and the only thing that I have upgraded recently was Windows.
    For now, I suppose that rebooting is my option.
    Thanks,
    Robert

  • Acrobat Pro XI update fails - error 1406

    I have about 5 computers, all Windows 7, that exhibit this problem, and dozens more that don't have the problem. Updates fail with the message "Error 1406. Could not write value {47833539-D0C5-4125-9FA8-0819E2EAAC93} to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar." The updates are being run from an administrator account. If I look at the key in Registry Editor it says the handle is invalid. I can't change values, delete values or anything else to this key. I fixed one by reformatting the computer but that seems like overkill and it's time consuming since all these computers have different software packages and they can't all be cloned. What's causing this and how can I fix it? I've tried registry cleaners and they don't help either.

    It sounds like it is machine specific to the setups you have. Maybe you have something running on the systems that is causing the problem. Have you tried the manual downloads from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows? Sometimes the manual download avoids such problems.

  • Acrobat Pro 8 update fails

    I used Acrobat 8, Version 8.0 and tried to install all available updates.
    Now i have version8.1.1 installed but cannot install 8.1.2 SU, which is the one i need.
    I cannot choose Acrobat as the application which is to be updated. It's greyed out.
    I use the app on a MacBook with OS 10.6.1 installed.

    Well, I didn't want to do this, but I had no choice. Nothing else was helping to repair the problem.
    I unistalled the entire Suite and used the CS3Clean Script in conjunction with MSICleanUp tool from Microsoft. The last time I had a problem similar to this, this fixed it. Another day gone in support of applications that should know better! (Had to vent...But I couldn't do without them.)

  • Outlook Quick Print no longer works with Acrobat Pro v11

    Hi All,
    Prior to installing Acrobat Pro v11 on a Remote Desktop Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) we were able to use the Quick Print function for attachments within Outlook (Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit), although the default printer was physical printer the application would always open with Acrobat Pro even after disabling it as a default application. Upon uninstalling Acrobat Pro v11 the issue no longer occurs and the quick print fuction has been restored to normal.
    If there is a known technical solution it would be greatly appreciated.
    Best regards,

    rgrosz789, thank you for your suggestion.
    Your code worked but caused run time error at the following line as below.
    Sub Test()
        'Dim app As CAcroApp
        Dim app As Object
        Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        app.Show 'Raises run time error
    End Sub
    I finally uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9, reinstalled it, then, my original program worked fine.
    Something must have gone wrong in Acrobat 9 :-)

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot save as word doc

    Adobe Acrobat Pro - Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

    The File
    (1) The file has to be a PDF.
    (2) The file has to be a PDF that is adequately ISO 32000 compliant (a 'good' PDF).
    Number (2) is why, for most PDFs - most times, the export process chokes.
    (& no being of file extension "pdf" does not mean the 'good' PDF was created)
    The application.
    Consider a cold reboot.
    Ensure Acrobat is fully updated.
    Ensure Acrobat version is compatible with OS
    Consider doing an Acrobat "repair".
    If one goes the deactivate/uninstall route consider using the "cleaner" tool.
