Adobe Acro 8: Update of AcroPro.msi on AIP fails with windows installer error.

Hi,
Creating a AIP with Adobe Acrobat 8 files.
Have created a AIP without any problems.
When i try to add patches to the AIP using the MSIEXEC /a "" /p "" i get a Windows Installer error saying:
"This package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact tha application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
What can be the cause of this?
The update packages are fresh downloads from Adobe.com.
Using WinXP SP3 with Windows Installer 4.5.

I hope you have gone through the solution posted on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html

    I've tried disabling my Firewall and troubleshooting the Enable-WSManCredSSP command-let however nothing has worked and I'm quite stuck. 
    Any help would be appreciated. 

    I had the same problem in my environment.
    Here are the steps how i did solve this issue
    Since VMM 2012 R2 Requires ADK 8.1 and this requires SQL 2012 Express.
    In order SQL Server 2012 to be installed successfully .Net Frame Work 3.5 feature on Windows Server has to be enabled first, in this case it is not not being installed by ADK Installation wizard as a result SQL service fails to start, which results on VMM
    installation to fail.
    Please try to enable .Net Frame Work 3.5 feature on Windows Server 2012 R2 before you install ADK 8.1

  • HT1212 I am unable to get our of a continuous cycle when trying to update or restore my iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.

    When I tried to update my iPad I got an error 9. Now, I am unable to access my iPad. It is in a continuous cycle when I try to update or restore the iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.
    Here's the cycle:
    I plug in my iPad when “cable to iTunes shows on iPad screen. It says "Your iPad can't be updated, you must restore it to factory settings." That bad enough news, but it gets worse.
    Click Restore
    Extracting software…
    Preparing iPad for restore
    Waiting for iPad…
    Verifying iPad restore with Apple…
    (empty bar under the Apple logo…does not show any activity)
    “The iPad “iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).”
    Notes: I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) in the last week. It’s the first time I’m tried to backup/update my iPad since the iMac update.
    I swapped out the USB cable to a new cable and get the same results.
    I also unplugged all other USB devices from the iMac and security on my iPad and still get the same results.
    I find it strange that it shows no Serial number for my my iPad 2 when plugged in. It shows “Serial Number: n/a on the screen when it displays: “iPad Recovery Mode To update your iPad without erasing its contents, click Update. To restore your iPad to its factory settings, click Restore iPad.
    I prefer to update my iPad, but it displays “Your iPad can’t be updated, you must restore it to factory settings. If you previously backed up the iPad, click Restore Backup after the restore process completes.”
    It’s a continuous loop. I get the display on my iPad to plug in the iPad to iTunes, plug it in which ends after going through the above procedure saying an error occurred (9).
    So now I cannot use my iPad. When I turn it on I get the display showing me to plug it into iTunes with the cable. Since this is the only option I have I plug it in and the loop begins.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello jaybearden,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • My iTunes wont update, and I can't connect my new iPhone if it doesn't update. It says error when I try to update, and I cant download it because of a "Windows Installer" error...

    I just not a new iPhone and in order to sync it I need the newest iTunes, but I can't update it! I tried checking for updates and then trying to downlaod it. I get this error: "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, chose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
    Where on earth is Tools anyway?
    When I tried just reinstalling all of iTunes, I had a Windows Installer error...I don't even know what that is!

    tools is at the top of the apple updater but dont get your hopes up

  • Trying to download update to iTunes in Vista but get Windows installer error. How do I update?

    Trying to download update to iTunes but get Windows Installer error.  How do I correct?

    many thanks.
    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro PC with Windows 7 - error mess "Adobe PDF Printer - not available" Help?

    Just loaded my old Acrobat 7.0 Professional on new PC with Windows 7 - Error message "Adobe PDF Priner not available.  Therefore do not have option of Adobe printer when using Word.
    Any ideas as to what  - if anythjing I can do?

    Hi,
    Technically acrobat 7 not not designed for windows 7 OS. You can try to install the pdf printer manually but it's not guaranteed :
    Click the Windows "Start" menu, select "Control Panel," choose "Hardware and Sound," click the "Add a Printer" link under Devices and Printers.
    Click "Next" and select "Local Printer Attached to This Computer."
    Remove the check from "Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer" and click "Next."
    Select "My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)" in the port selection drop-down menu and click "Next."
    Select the "Have Disk" option and click the "Browse" button to open a dialog box.
    Select the "AdobePDF.inf" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under "Adobe" | "Acrobat 9.0" | "Acrobat" | "Xtras."
    Select the first item on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click "Next."
    Type "Adobe PDF" in the field for a printer name and click "Next."
    Wait for two minutes for the system to process the drivers and click "Finish" to close the Add a Printer wizard.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows Installer (MSI 5.0) fails with ERROR 1939 during "MsiConfigureServices" action

    When trying to install a setup package using the new MSI 5.0 features of Windows Service Configuration (using Tables: MsiServiceConfig / MsiServiceConfigFailureActions)
    the service config fails and results in a rollback.
    The service itself is installed along with the same package under "LocalSystem" account.
    Regarding MSDN, these feature does have some limitations, but I am not shure if they are applicable here:
    "The services configuration feature of the Windows Installer cannot configure network service accounts, install shared service host (svchost) processes, or restart services stopped as part of the installation"
    (see
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd408113(v=vs.85).aspx )
    I have tried this with serveral variations on the failure actions count and type.
    Using SC_ACTION_NONE or SC_ACTION_RUN_COMMAND actions indeed work and lead to a successful install.
    Can you tell, why SC_ACTION_RESTART or SC_ACTION_REBOOT does not work fine?
    PS: The guys on MS Connect didn't want so solve that issue ;-)

  • Adobe Updater can be run only by users with administrator rights error on 2003 termianl server

    I just installed the latest security update of 8.1.7 on my two terminal servers. Now when each users logs in, they get the following error.
    Insufficient Rights (title)
    Adobe Updater can be run only by usrs with administrator rights.
    They simply click OK and it goes away but it is very annoying. It seems like every time their is an update to Adobe Reader, something goes wrong.
    Does anybody have any thoughts on how to stop the Adobe Updater from loading when my users login? Thanks,
    Justin

    Re: Insufficient Rights Window for non-admins after 8.1.2 successful install
    Here is the solution I found.
    "Renaming %program files%/Common Files/Adobe/updater5 to something else removed the error."
    This seems like a brute force approach, but it does work. I checked the event logs after doing this and don't see any errors in the App or System logs. This folder is the location of AdobeUpdater.exe and all of the Adobe .cer files, so it makes sense that this works, but seems like it should generate other errors...
    This is not how I wanted to solve the problem but it did solve it.

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Standard 11.0.10 silent install failing with error 1603

    Hello
    I just updated my AIPs for Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 Pro and Standard.  The Pro silent install is working fine.  But I cannot get the Standard install to run on Windows 7 or WIndows 8.   I have gone over every detail that I can think of or find on forums.
    I use the Adobe Customization Wizard XI and choose the basic stuff to create my transform.  I don't generally enter a serial number in the customization setup but I tried that and the installation did appear to complete successfully.  But when I tried to open Acrobat it did not work.  Processes like PDapp.exe where running in a loop but never stopped.   Without a serial I get the errors below and the install fails almost immediately.   I have recreated the API and transform a few times hoping it would help.
    Installing with the following line msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroStan.msi" TRANSFORMS=AcroStan.mst /qb /L*v c:\acrobat.log I get an error message that just says "error".
    Application Event logs
    Product: Adobe Acrobat XI Standard --  error.
    Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. Product Version: 11.0.10. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems. Installation success or error status: 1603.
    When I run the AcroStan.msi by itself the installation completes successfully so it would appear the issue is in customization process or the .mst file.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    I'm assuming that verbose logging is accomplished by adding /L*v c:\acrobat.log ?  No, I do not have CustomAction AAMIU_Install.196A45B3_0387_4DF9_9420 in my log file.  The only items referencing 1603 are below.

  • I need help with my MSI Dragon edition 2 with windows 7 64 bit home edition

    I recently got my laptop from Xotic PC with windows 7 64 bit home version which was free. The only problems I have for the laptop is that I can't detected the Nvidia Geoforce GTX 780m graphics card on my system or update it, games on steam tend to lag like Metro the last night which came free for me but even at low settings the lag was really bad.  Sometimes the screen starts flickering becasue of a display driver error after playing a game or closing a game. So if anyone can help me with these issues I would really appreciate helping me fix these errors.

    Please click link below to download driver.
    http://www.msi.com/service/download/nbdriver-19693.html
    or you can use GeForce Experience, keep drivers up to date.
