Acrobat XI installation won't complete-- says it was "interrupted"

I run Windows 7 64-bit in a Parallels virtual machine on my MacBook Pro (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD).
Had Acrobat X Pro installed and functioning fine.
Bought & downloaded XI. Tried installing.
Install almost finished entirely when the following message popped up:
"The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.07) could be completely installed."
Rebooted, turned off AVG antivirus.
Uninstalled Acrobat 10.
Tried XI installation with the same result.
Re-downloaded the installation file thinking the first might have been corrupted.
Rebooted. Tried XI 3rd installation with the same result.
Downloaded & installed the Akamai installer.
Downloaded the XI install file through that.
Tried XI 4th installation with the same result.
Please keep in mind that I've been an IT professional for over 15 years.
this just shouldn't be this problematic.
I recall similar problems with the X install.
Don't recall the remedy.
Suggestions?

Thank you, Pat.
After posting I moved on to trying various other scenarios including your suggestion.
I've pretty much exhausted the 'easier' options & will be removing all the Adobe suite installations in their entirety, then cleaning and installing only Acrobat XI.
If that works then I'll move on to the hours-long process of reinstalling the other Adobe apps I use.
I DO appreciate your feedback.

Hi Shawn and Jason,
I have the same problem. One workaround is to clean your disk before running LiveCycledesigner. After you have cleaned up your disk LiveCycleDesigner will start a few times and you can work with it.
It is an Vista problem. LiveCycleDesigner 8.1 which is just released had fixed the problem so you can also download 8.1

Installation failure - Windows 7 - erroneous Wizard Was Interrupted Error

During the installation of Blackberry link on Windows 7, just after the question if a desktop link should be created, when hitting next, a screen image with various tiles on it appears for a half second followed by a error window stating that the intallation was interrupted. This process was repeated multiple times and even running the install as administrator. An internet search showed me that others reported this problem since March 2013 but I have no seen any posted solutions to gettting the software installed. Using version 111_b020_multilanguage.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To continue the story of being unable to install Blackberry Link, I did the following additional things.
1) I ran sfc /scannow to verify if any windows 7 files were corrupted. None were found.
2) I did a Windows Update. Several updates failed to install so I ran the troubleshooter to determine why the updates failed and attempt to fix them. I reran the updater following the troubleshooter and a few more updates were installed and others still did not install properly. So I repeated the troubleshooter one more time. There were some system resets in between but resets alone did not resolve the installation issue as I had tried resets to no avail before.
3) I attempted to reinstall Blackberry Link and this time it completed the install process.

ITunes 9.2 Installer Won't Complete Activation Phase - Can't Install

Sorry for starting a whole new thread if I didn't need to. I am having a very similar problem as at least another user in the forum. Yesterday, iTunes 9.2 - which had been working fine - began to hang while loading, and it kept bringing the whole system down. I ran disk utility, tried starting the Mac in safe mode - nothing worked. So I trashed iTunes, downloaded the standalone installer, and it just will not work. It gets about halfway through the Activation phase, and then says that the installation failed.
I've also tried unintalling iTunes completely via instructions from Apple. I've run Disk Warrior and rebuilt the desktop several times. I've trashed the installer and downloaded a fresh copy. Nothing I've tried seems to work. I've made sure that iTunes Helper process isn't running, and that it's not in my startup items. I even reinstalled OS 10.6.4 using the combo installer. My patience is growing kind of thin. Other than wiping everything out and starting from scratch, I don't know of any other fix. I would really hate to have to start from scratch. I would really appreciate some guidance to get this problem fixed. It's extremely frustrating.

Have exactly the same issue, old laptop stolen, bought new laptop,
imported account from time machine, library is invisible, at the botom of each section it tells you the number of films, tracks pod csts etc but there is no content.
If you look in the iTunes folder content is there... however there seems to be no upgrade file so maybe the iTunes library was not upgraded and iTUnes thinks it was....

New eLearning Suite 6.1 Won't Be Recognized or Installer Won't Complete

Hello,
I have just purchased 2 disks and the liscense for Adobe eLearning Suite 6.1 for my home, but am unable to install my new software at all on my iMac home computer. Nine times out of ten, the disks are automatically ejected -- not even recognized -- and the 10th time, when recognized, the installer program will run only about halfway through. See the image below. Please help. I use version 6.0 all the time on my work computer, the Windows version, and thus the software is critical for me too on my home computer, not mention the cost I have paid to the local Thai vendor who helped me acquire the product. I love the software, but I can't seem to get it installed. I must be doing something very simple incorrectly. Below are some specs on my iMac.
Thank you

if I directly double click "iPhoto Library" (which has a plain text like icon preview, not so colorful iphoto library style...), it tells me I should choose the app I wanna open it. After iPhoto chosen and opened, nothing happened, no photos in iPhoto main windows (events, faces, ..., all empty).
I aslo try "show package contents" and locate the exact photos' location in "iPhoto Library", which I believed should be in "iPhoto Library/Original/", all the photos in there could not be quicklook, opened by preview, Photoshop, etc. And the error msg says something like "format unrecognized" stuffs

Installation won't complete because Windows messenger but it is not open

When I try and install Flash Player 10.x it starts and then tells me it will continue after I close Windows Messenger and Explorer. I can close explorer but Messenger is not open therefore I am unable to complete the installation. I have uninstalled other Flash player, turned off security and decreased Internet security to medium when trying this installation. Still no dice. Can someone help so I don't get stung with a $40 charge? Please

You are great!! It did what you suggested and it worked. Now I am going to go back and see how it works.
Thank you so much.
I hope you have an extra-good day. I know my day is better.

Adobe Muse update won't complete - says up to date in Creative Cloud

I became an Adobe Creative Cloud member yesterday. I downloaded the Muse app on my work computer, and then the update that was popped up and it worked fine. I started to design a website - but when I went home and downloaded the program on my computer the update will not complete. It gets hung up at the same position even after I tried uninstalling Muse and Air (multiple times). Not sure what to do - but I HAVE to be able to work on this website from home and work. Any suggestions?

Hi Ilhoffman,
Please try to download from the following link :
For Windows : http://www.adobe.com/go/muse_latest_win
For MAC : http://www.adobe.com/go/muse_latest_mac
Hope this helps.

I TUNE INSTALLATION WON'T COMPLETE

How do I finish my installation of i tunes? HRESULT:0x80073712 is the message received.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

whenever i try to download the itunes 9 and install i get an error
pic of the error here:

any ideas?

Don't know the solution but I have exactly the same problem. Everything worked great before attempting to install latest version and now am caught in the existential void!

In the middle of undating to iTunes10.6.3 a window comes up saying an older version on bonjour cannot be removed. Then further into the download a window comes up that says the download was interrupted and can not finish and try at a later time.

I am attempting to upgrade to iTunes 10.6.3 and halfway through the download a window pops up that says "cannot remove an older version of Bonjour", then I click Ok on that and then further into the download and upgrade a window pops up that says cannot complete , itunes upgrade was interrupted, try at a later time.What do I do now?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I downloaded the latest version but it won't complete installation. It says: Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system. What do I do now?

iTunes stopped working so I uninstalled it. I downloaded the latest version but it won’t complete installation, giving me a message that says: Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device’) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system. Can anyone tell me what to do next? Thank you.

I tried your suggestion, and what I get is this message: "Error 1053 the service did not respond to the start of contro request in a timely fasion." Any further suggestions? Thanks

I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.

Adobe Download Assistant won't complete download Acrobat Pro xi

Adobe Download Assistant won't complete download. It says downloading 501mb, and when it does that it goes around again and again. My download speed is about 7mb, so it shouldn't take more that a couple of hours at most...

Glyphodend I would recommend downloading Acrobat XI Professional directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X.
