Acrobat X Pro and Error 1606

I am not able to install an update for Acrobat X Pro due to the Error 1606 problem.  I have tried the Fix-It Wizard on the Microsoft webpage that's been recommended, to no effect.
I was able to install the update on a Win7 computer, but I can't install it on a machine running Win7 SP1.
Is there a solution?  Can SP1 somehow be preventing the update from installing?
Perhaps a solution is to rollback SP1 and then try to install the Acrobat update, but even if it works, I don't want to have to do it each time Adobe releases a security patch or update to X Pro.

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ User Shell Folders
In the right pane of Registry Editor, double-click Common Administrative Tools.
In the Value data box , type the following line, and then click OK:%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools
On the File menu, click Exit to quit Registry Editor.
Restart the computer.
Thanks for these instructions.
I don't have Norton AV installed.
I've located the User Shell Folders as directed, but I don't have an entry in right-pane labeled Common Administrative Tools.
Should I create it, and then follow the rest of your instructions?
I'm using Win7 SP1.  Please make sure your instructions pertain to that OS.
Much appreciated.

    For AA XI, you only need the 11.0.09 patch. Download from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (Use "MAC" if a MAC is used).

    Hi Irenedix,
    If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
    Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
    If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf  with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
    If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
    Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
    Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
    Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.

  • Acrobat XI Pro install error 1636 - cannot get around it. How to do?

    I had installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it worked for a few months. Then it stopped. I tried to repair it and could not - so I tried to uninstall. Most uninstalled, but there is still one "program" listed that cannot be uninstalled ( I get message: "This package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Patch Package."). When  I try to re-install, I get error message: "ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1636 - This update package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package.
    MSI Error message:
    ERROR: Third party payload installer AcroPro.msi failed with exit code: 1636"
    I installed on HP Elitebook 8540w with Windows 7, x86
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I was already on live support with Adobe for 3 hours and they could not fix it. I really need help and need the software functioning again as it should.

    Hi keyarc,
    Please use the Acrobat cleaner tool ( Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs ) to remove the software completely.
    Reboot the machine, install Acrobat and check.

  • I have two issues. 1) unable to update Acrobat XI Pro and 2) unable to register product

    First issue: I have for the second time installed Acrobat xi pro and then click on "check for updates" from the help menu. And it shows that an update is available. But when I update it I am given the following error message:
    Error 1328. Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\PT669B.tmp. It has probably been updated by other means, and can no longer be modified by this patch. For more information contact your patch vendor."
    When I click on "details" I am sent to adobe's "update error" page. Which states the following for error 1328: Error applying patch to [filename]. It's likely that something else updated the file, and the patch can't modify it. For more information, contact your patch vendor.
    I have tried uninstalling program and re-installing program but still get same error message from my attempt at updating. So I am not sure if program is update or not. And I do not know who my "patch vendor" is.
    Second issue: Unable to register product with Adobe. Because the option to do so from the "help" menu which lists "product registration" is greyed/dimmed out. Therefore not giving me the ability to register this product. Please let me know what is causing this problem.

    I am not sure, but will suggest some things to try. On the activate issue, it may be that your system already thinks it is activated and so you might try the deactivate and check. If that works, I would suggest you then uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove anything left of the Acrobat folder, reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully you can open Acrobat and activate. Then do the updates from the Help menu.

  • Printing out of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and CS4 Illustrator

    Hi,  I'm working on a MacBook Pro,  version 10.6.7 Mac OS X, I just hooked  up the HP Photosmart Premiere  C310 Series printer.  It's hooked up via  USB, and will print from all  applications except Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Illustrator - CS4.
    For Acrobat:   When I try to print a PDF, I get the message "The document could not  be  printed." followed by "There were no pages selected to print."
    For Illustrator:   In the Print window, under Printer, I can either select Adobe   Postscript File and save, or, select my printer where the preview is  unavailable, it grays out all  options and I can't select anything. OR,  if I select my printer where the preview is unavailable, I get the error  message "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management settings  are inconsistent."
    These  are the only two applications  I'm having trouble with, and since the  printer is sold at Apple.com,  I'm hoping someone else has come across  these issues.  Please help!
    Thanks.

    You may want to ask in the Acrobat or Illustrator forums. This one is for the free Reader application.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Reinstallation Errors

    My hard drive crashed on my computer (replaced with new one) and I had to reinstall my Adobe CS5 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. All of CS5 reinstalled fine. However, everytime I reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it errors every time. It will install, but whenever you open the program, it immediately stops working and errors out saying Adobe Acrobat 9.3 stopped working. Windows cannot find a solution and then closes. 
    It never gives me the chance to enter my product key or register the product. I went to the Adobe Product page and tried downloading and installing all the updates, but nothing works. No matter what I do it closes right away. Any ideas?
    My PC is on Windows 7 - I had to initially install Acrobat on this PC when I got it a year or so ago and it worked fine. Not sure what's changed.
    Thanks.

    I just tried reinstalling it - again, it wasnt giving me the option to register it or anything. Would close the minute I opened Acrobat.
    So I opened the Acrobat Distiller that installed with Acrobat and that asked me to accept the agreement and register the product. Once I did that - Acrobat started working again!

  • I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!!

    I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!! Why is this? Does anyone have this problem?

    When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.

  • Help! Acrobat 9 Pro Updater Error 1067 (Windows XP SP3)

    I had to (re)install the Adobe CS3 Design Premium package - it is working fine. I then installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. The install went fine, the program works  - but the updater always went belly up with a code 1067. I then installed Photoshop CS4. Which is also working fine.
    Frustrated, I uninstalled Acrobat 9 Pro and then reinstalled it. And the Updater again gives me a 1067 error code.
    I currently have Acrobat 9 Pro V9.2.0 installed & there are updates to be applied. Please advise as to a workaround....to get the updates...
