%APPDATA%

Hello everyone,
I had the same problem "error 1606 %APPDATA%\"....I have returned to post my results after searching for a solution for hours and finally arriving to one that was specific to my problem....and I decided to share with others experiencing a similar problem.
It took a couple of hours of searching but I followed the instructions located here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549/ on a microsoft support page and so far the problem has been fixed.
Hope this helps!!!
Good luck

  • Error 1328 when updating Acrobat Pro XI.  Already did what Adobe recommended and uninstalled and reinstalled from my DVD.  Still get Error 1382.

    I have Windows 7 Pro with Acrobat Pro XI.  I keep getting Error 1328 when trying to update Pro XI.  Doesn't matter if I try from the Help menu in Acrobat or when I get a notice in my SysTray that an Adobe update is available.  I already tried what Adobe recommended to uninstall and reinstall from my  DVD.  I still get the 1328 error and will not update my Adobe.  Any suggestions?

  • FireFox still identifies pdfs as Foxit documents even though I'm opening them in Adobe Reader and uninstalled the Foxit trial and FF plugin years ago.

    When I click on a pdf file link in FireFox, the Windows open file dialogue opens, saying "You have chosen to open [filename]
    which is: Foxit Reader PDF Document [filesize]
    from: [author]
    What should FireFox do with this file?
    [selected radio button] Open with Adobe Reader
    THERE IS NO PROBLEM OPENING THE FILE. It opens in Adobe Reader, in a window outside of Firefox, which is exactly what I have it set up to do. The problem is that it identifies the file as a "Foxit Reeader PDF Document," even though I uninstalled the Foxit trial and associated FireFox plugin ages ago, and Foxit does not appear anywhere on my computer in any way, shape or form (that I have access to). No Foxit in the file associations for Windows, or in the applications associations for FireFox. There is no Foxit plugin installed, and I even went and deleted what was left of the Foxit directory. Yet pdfs are still identified in FireFox as Foxit files, so FireFox must be storing this old info somewhere. How do I get rid of it?
    BTW, files open in a browser window inside the browser in the other 3 browsers I have installed, so there is no open file dialogue, and I can't tell whether there is the same problem. When I check the properties of a pdf outside of FireFox (by rightclicking a pdf on my desktop, for example), it is identified as an Adobe Reader file. I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. I have two Adobe Acrobat plugins showing in FireFox (10.1.8.24 and 11.0.5.3). Should I have two? No plugins, extensions, or anything else by Foxit.

    Most likely this information is in the mimeTypes.rdf file, which can accumulate a lot of obsolete information which occasionally does cause problems. You can rename the file and have Firefox rebuild it from scratch with only the current applications detected (as far as Firefox can tell from the Windows Registry).
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Restart Firefox. Presumably now it will forget all about Foxit. Unfortunately, it may also have forgotten some of your application preferences, but hopefully those won't take too long to reestablish.

  • Adobe AIR Error - Uninstalling and Re-installing does not work?

    I keep getting this error everytime I turn n my laptop.  I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe AIR several times and still keep getting this error after it tells me it has been installed successfully.  "This installation of this application is damage.  Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."  What is wrong with this program?  I cannot keep uninstalling and re-installing  this program and it is not installing properly.

    Pat has a great point and asks a good question.  In addition to identifying the AIR application that is causing you problems you may also want to review Troubleshoot AIR installation | Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/troubleshoot-air-installation-windows.html.

  • From: Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 to Adobe Reader 10:  Uninstall First?

    Hello:
    I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 installed on my PC now. I use it only to read PDF files and occasionally sign one.
    It does not upgrade to later versions from within the program.
    I'd rather use the Adobe Reader to view PDF files. I see Adobe Reader 10 is the latest version.
    1) Is it necessary to first uninstall the Adobe Acrobat 6.0 before installing the Adobe Reader? Or can I simply install  Adobe Reader
    directly over it?
    2) If I uninstall Adobe Acrobat first, would the PDF files I already have stored on my PC be readable with the new adobe Reader?
    Thanks in advance:

    Hi again:
    My PC is not allowing me to uninstall Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro.
    After that, I tried installing Adobe Reader 10 over it, but Got the same error
    Error 1327 Invalid Drive E
    I have no E drive connected now at all.
    Not sure why i cant uninstall Adobe Acrobat nor install Adobe Reader over it.
    Any ideas waht that error message means?

  • Why can' t I connect to Adobe reader or uninstall it?

    For some reason when I click on a program that uses Adobe Reader I get a message saying Adobe Reader has encounter a problem and needs to shut down.  I have tried to uninstall the program and get a message saying it cannot find the patch so I can't uninstall it

    I assume that you are on Windows.
    Use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove a corrupted installation of Adobe Reader.

  • Adobe Flash Player - Uninstall problem

    I have a new HP Pavilion f0010 laptop.  Was having problems with videos being "green".  Did some online researching and somehow accidentally uninstalled Adobe Flash Player from control panel.  How do I reinstall this to original installation?  Thanks.

    Just run the installer for the latest version of the Flash Player

  • Windows 7, adobe reader crashing, uninstall, reinstall, crashes opening (error #150210) help?

    I have installed and uninstalled adobe reader several times now, it crashed when opening a PDF file.  The error code is #150210, and I have followed some of the messages online with no luck.  Actually I did do one, and it lasted for one day but when I returned, it crashed again.  I really need to open the PDF files.  Anyone have any suggestions. 

    Not sure if this will help; but these are some things that help preventing Adobe Reader from crashing...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Adobe AIR application uninstall

    Hi guys
       I am new to Adobe AIR Forum. I don't know where to put my question.Ok anyway, My question is there any option to
       customize the uninsatll Adobe AIR application (or)
       control the uninstall Adobe AIR Application.(that means i want to combine another application uninstall with the AIR application uninstall).

    I have the same issue with a customer of ours:
    Try to uninstall AIR – same message.  (When I reinstall,  the install says it’s successful.) I try to run our app, same message. I downloaded another AIR app, same message – so it’s not our app it’s AIR.  We logged in as Administrator, same message.  It’s a Windows7 machine. I did a system restore to 2 days ago and started over and still the same issues. I tried running the Windows Fixit to uninstall https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall – didn’t work.

  • Adobe Air, total uninstall

    Been having the usual Lion problems...seem to center around Adobe Air, specifically the "deny-file-read data...." error (tons of them) in the system log.  I've uninstalled Adobe Air using the Uninstall program which was in my Utilities folder.  But the error still persists.
    I see that there is a folder in \usr\my user name\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Air and have seen on Adobe forum postings that you need to delete this folder.  Why the uninstaller didn't is the subject for all things bad, uninstaller-wise, but before I delete it and create more problems, I thought I'd check in here first.
    Anyone deleted this folder?  Is it safe to do so, with Air already uninstalled?
    Many thanks for the help.

    Post in Adobe's forums for help with Adobe's software, application or uninstaller, Apple don't write them and can't help, and as I allow none of Adobe's junk on my machines, I can't either.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 uninstalling after restart problem?

    Hi im having a problem with Adobe Illustrator CS6
    I have installed Adobe Illustrator CS6 which was fine no problems.
    The problem occurs when i shut the computer down then restart it, the short cut to the programme does not work.
    In Start > All Programmes the software has a blank file next to it, meaning its not there.
    This is also the same for extension manager CS6, tool kit CS6, help CS6, bridge CS6and adobe reader XI.
    I also have on my laptop Dreamweaver CS5.5 could this have an affect on the newer software, as this too comes with extension manager CS5.5, tool kit CS5.5, but the older versions?
    My Laptop Spec is:-
    Acer Aspire 5742Z
    Windows7 Home Premium Service pack 1
    Intel(r) Pentium(R) CPU P6100 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
    RAM: 4.00GB
    64-bit Operating System
    I have Norton Internet Security.
    This is also playing up and can be only accessed on the toolbar right hand corner of the screen. (i dont think norton is the problem with illustrator)
    **In safe mode i am able to see the icons in the Start > All Programmes and able to click the files and the software load***
    Any help on the matter is appreciated.
    If anymore details are needed please ask.
    Thanks

    We need system information. After you run the cleaner tool, there is no need to uninstall anything, which won't work, anyway. that's the whole point of the tool. You simply reinstall the app.

  • ADOBE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALL ISSUE- FEB 2015

    POSTED FEB 2 2015
    hello fellow mac users -  I have an adobe flash player question...
    I am sure everyone is aware of the adobe flash player vulnerability that came out late January 2015.   Initially when I saw that, I promptly removed flash player on my machine and installed the new version 16.0.0.287.    A day later when I started my machine,  I saw a Flash Player message indicating I have to download again.  I googled and found out Adobe actually only partially fixed the vulnerability.
    Exasperated, I decided to say bye-bye to Adobe Flash for good by uninstalling Flash Player.   After uninstalling, I went to Youtube and played a video - it shows that its using HTML5 codec to play the video - so far, so good.
    The issue I am having is that since I uninstalled the Flash Player, whenever I start up my machine I am getting this "Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller" pop up window.  
    The first time I saw it, I clicked on UNINSTALL button and it will say "Adobe Flash Player was removed".   But every day when I start up my machine, it still shows this pop up message and its driving me bonkers.
    is there a way to remove or prevent this pop-up from showing up?   BTW I checked my machine's preferences and Adobe Flash Player is no longer listed.
    BTW I have a iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011), Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Thanks for your input in advance.  

    RESOLVED - Feb 3 2015
    I believe I have found the issue and resolution on that pesky Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller - thought i'd share in case this would help someone.
    Since that f***ing  Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller pops up each time I start up the machine, I thought I should check the "startup" items in my Mac machine.  So I did my research and I did the following steps:
    1. Click on Mac > System Preferences
    2. Select Users and Groups
    3. User and Groups window pops up - On the right pane you'll see "Password" and "Login Items" items - click on "Login Items".
    On the Login items - I did see 'Adobe Flash Player Installer' - apparently this triggers the Uninstaller instead of Installer - but whatever - I have banned Flash Player from my Mac so I highlight this item on the Login Items list, and click on the minus sign button - it removed the Adobe Flash Player Installer from the Login Items list.    Then I restarted my machine - and voila -  NO MORE PESKY Adobe Flash Player uninstaller pop-ups!!!! Hurrah!!!
    Again this might help specifically for those who want to BAN Adobe Flash Player from their machines and are seeing the Adobe Flash Player Installer / Uninstaller every time they start up their machine.  Apparently this is not a widespread problem but it still does happen.  Good luck y'all and say goodbye to Adobe Flash Player (sorry Adobe, but I do still love your core products like Lightroom and Photoshop).  Adobe should not have bought Macromedia (who originally developed Flash and Shockwave) years back but who would have known Flash would be such a headache (no thanks to cybercriminals)...
