Acrobat XI Standard installation fails Error 1714?

I cannot get Acrobat XI Standard to install completely.  I have tried many things, without success.  It will run to a point but then hit a wall.  I have version 8 and others still on the computer; I have tried to completely uninstall them, but could not do that either.
It stops at this point:  Removing applications {AC76BA86-1033-F400-BA7E-000000000003}
And I get this message:  Error 1714.  The older version of Adove Acrobat XI STandard cannot be removed.  Contact your technical support group.
Setup Interrupted.  Your system has not been modified.  To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.

I ran the cleaner, hoping to remove Acrobat 8.  Although it says it is for Acrobat 9, it did finish and gave a "completed" message.  But the log shows many tasks could not be completed.
Then I ran the Acrobat 11.0 setup disk, and it does appear to have loaded completely.  Thanks!!
Can you help me delete the artifacts?
When I go to C:\Program Files\Adobe, there are folders for Acrobat 11.0, Acrobat 8.0, Adobe Help Viewer, Flash Player, Reader 11.0, and Acrobat 7.0. 
The Acrobat 8.0 folder contains 8 subfolders and occupies 293 MB.
The Acrobat 7.0 folder contains a Setup Files subfolder and occupies 34.3 MB. 
I need disk space and also hope to avoid future conflicts; is there a way to remove Acrobat 8.0 and Acrobat 7.0 entirely?  Neither Acrobat 8 nor Acrobat 7 appears in the Add or Remove Programs list.
Can I delete any of the others?

  • Acrobat XI Pro installation failed

    MacBook Pro 13" Retina
    OSX 10.8.5
    3 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Used Akamai NetSession Interface.
    Downloaded from Adobe website. After download, clicked on installer, entered serial number, quickly went through installing until right at the end: "THE INSTALLATION FAILED: Installer encountered an error that caused installation to fail. Contact manufacturer." Part of the message cut-off abruptly.
    Then, it appeared that the installation did occur but when I opened the software the interface didn't look "smooth." Then almost immediately software update stated Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.04 was available for download, but computer wouldn't allow it to be installed citing error on initial problem. I uninstalled XI Pro and tried to download again from Adobe website but the window instantly opened for Akamai and said download complete. The same problem occured when I tried to install again, with the same error message.

    Thank you Anish.
    The software now appears to be working for some reason, and even though Error 1301 appeared when trying to update to Acrobat 11.0.04, it shows that I am running 11.0.04. There is something going on in there but so far so good.

  • QuickTime installation failed: Error Code : 1607

    I just DL'd and installed the iTunes 6.0.1.3 upgrade. At the end of the installation, just before announcing success, I got this Quixotic message in a small dialogue box:

  • Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10:  Installation Failed error message.

    Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac:  Installation Failed error message.  Update downloaded directly from Adobe website.  Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished.  Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?

    thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it.  according to the link you listed, that's correct.  the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
    so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os.  seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it!  thanks again.

  • Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe

    Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning  tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader  11 is removed  from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is  like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11.  also tried:
    1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled  2. installed from different locations  3. removed adobe key from
    local machine and tried to install

    Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
    The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines.  However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE.  Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
    Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

  • "The installation failed" Error

    I am trying to upgrade Acrobat 9 to Acrobat XI on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 system.  I uninstalled Acrobat 9 using the uninstaller in the applications folder.  I then tried to install Acrobat XI Pro and at the very end of the install I get the error:
    "The installation failed."
    "The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    I tried multiple times logged in under different user accounts and got the same error every time.  I also tried installing Acrobat X Pro with the same results.  Anyone know whats going on here or how to fix it?

    Try following steps:
    Delete the following preferences folders:
         a) ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/
         b) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
         c) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
         d) ~/Library/Preferences/Acrobat Distiller Prefs
         e) ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Acrobat/
    Here ~ represents your home directory.
    Then Goto Applications Folder, If Acrobat folder or application is present there then delete it,
    Empty your trash, Restart the machine and then reinstall the Acrobat.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Standard. Distribution Error

    Adobe Acrobat X Standard. When creating forms and then trying to distribute them to a network location it fails/errors out. When I chose desktop it works with no problems. Ive checked permissions on the network share and granted Everyone full access but it still will not work.

    I don't see a server status listed.  The users are attempting to open up a form on the network share, and they select the option to manually distribute the form.  They then attempt to save it to the same network location where they opened the form, but the name will usually contain "distributed" in it after re-saving it.

  • Repeated prompts to install with "Installation Failed" error - ANNOYING

    I've been experiencing the same issue for the better part of July and August.  I have tried several recommended strategies in the hopes of getting Adobe Flash Player (AFP) to install and perform correctly; however, none of my attempts have led to AFP indeed BEING installed.  Every single occasion I install, I receive the error "installation failed."  Needless to say, this is time-consuming and annoying.  And more annoying is the fact that I have no idea whatsoever as to what caused this event.
    I am running Windows Vista with a 32-bit encryption on Internet Explorer Version 8.  I've searched through the FAQ section as well as through several Forum threads without luck.  I am, however, curiously able to utilize AFP through Mozilla Firefox, but as this is not my preferred mode of Internet surfing, this becomes cumbersome.
    This issue is slowly driving me insane.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!
    Thank you!

  • 11.0.4 Updater installation failed - error U44M1P7

    For the benefit of others, I wanted to post the steps that fixed this issue for gbrozk1:
    Open Extension Manager CS5.
    Select Dreamweaver on the left, and then remove the HTML5Pack (11.0.3 Updater) extension.
    Repair the installation of Dreamweaver using your original installation media.
    To do this, insert your original installation DVD, or double-click the downloaded DMG file, and then double-click Set-Up.app to begin the installation.
    When given choices of which products to Install/Re-install, uncheck everything except Dreamweaver. (That is, we need to be sure Dreamweaver is selected to be re-installed. Re-installing repairs the installation.)
    Follow the remaining on-screen instructions to complete the re-install/repair of Dreamweaver.
    Restart your computer.
    Install the 11.0.4 update.
    Hope that helps someone!
