Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 autoplay fails to initialise.

Following a new installation of Windows XP SP3 I cannot reinstall Acrobat 5.0.5 from the CD autoplay or from a copied version of the CD on the hard disk.
It installed fine a few years ago and the disk has been protected and unused since so no reason to expect the disk is faulty. Unusually I can't find a solution on the forums. Only one similar user instance did not receive a competent answer.
I would appreciate any help on this frustrating problem.

On clicking install (or the setup.exe) the timer icon shows for several seconds, the hard disk is active and then all calms down. No message is given.
I had already tried Win 2000 compatibility mode but tried again, no joy.
I mentioned in my earlier post that I thought the problem might be that I had installed Reader 11 prior to my first attempt at installing 5.0.5 and that some registry entries were preventing the installation. I uninstalled reader 11 and used Adobe cleaner to remove other files and registry entries. After retrying the 5.0.5 install adobe registry entries have re-appeared so the install must be starting. Is there a clock to re-set for number of installations?

  • Message received after Adobe Acrobat X Standard reinstall - Update failed Error 1007

    Adobe Acrobat Error 1007
    Updates have been disabled by your system policy
    HELP!!  The situation:
    Windows 7 Professional 32-bit .
    The product was uninstalled and then reinstalled.
    After the reinstall, it never asked for a EULA acceptance, a re-registration  or a re-activation.
    It would open a pdfs for about 6 seconds and then close out.
    If you tried to do updates from the menu in the program, it would give this error:

    This alert was created by a JavaScript code (as you can see from the title of it), which someone obviously did not write very well.
    You should be able to open it if you disable JS (Edit - Preferences - JavaScript), and then you can remove this code completely (if the file is not secured).

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro: signature verification failing on 64bit Windows 7

    Hi,
    I have developed a plug-in for digital signing, creating standard PKCS#7. For verification, using default "Adobe Default Security" plug-in.
    "Adobe Default Security" verifying my created signatures successfully on Windows 7 32bit machine but failing to verify signature created on Windows 7 64bit machine.
    Message shown on 64bit machine is below:
    Why only on 64bit machine document tampering check failing but the procedure of creating PKCS#7 is same?
    So kindly do help me in this regard ASAP. What could be the reason there?
    Regards,
    Jhan Zaib

    Is a hardware token involved at all?  Do you not have a 64bit driver for 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.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro failed to print pdf file

    I downloaded adobe acrobat pro and started the 30 trial version just a few minutes ago.
    I could open files through adobe acrobat and convert word files to pdf, but when i tried converting a publisher file it could not go through. An error popped up which read "Adobe PDF printer failed to print pdf file".
    The publisher file I am hoping to convert to pdf is a 21 page panorama article. It contains lots of images and a variety of font types.
    I do not know other alternatives for solving this issue.
    Your help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    But all good saves in the format of TXT and jpg.
    I have uninstalled and restored and re-installed and updated and registry cleaned and removed using the special utility Cleaner Tool for Acrobat, but nothing helps.
    On one notebook with Windows 8.1 and Microsoft office 2013, on another laptop with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010, the same problem, although there are computers with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010 and everything works.

I've tried quitting and reopening CC; quitting CC, deleting the OOBE folder in my profile, and reopening CC. Regardless, it fails. Here's the output:

    fix the install error.

    tdatx,
    Here are some steps worth trying.Looks like your Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime installation is corrupt.
    I found that following steps work if you're getting error:
    "Error 1722.  There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package.  A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor.  Action InstallWebResources, location c:\program files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrpCEF\AcroServicesUpdater.exe"
    Try following steps and it should work:
    1) Goto Download Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Official Microsoft Download Center and click Download.
    2) Select vcredist_x86.exe and download the package.
    3) If you're on a 64 bit machine navigate to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\" else navigate to "C:\Windows\System32" on 32 bit machines. If "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" folder exists then you're on a 64 bit machine.
    4) Search for msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll and rename both files. Don't delete them so that just in case vcredist_x86.exe package fails to install you can rename them back.
    5) Now double click vcredist_x86.exe and install it. After installation completes check that msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll are now installed back. You can delete the files that you renamed in step above now. Don't delete msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll
    6) Install Acrobat through CC Installer and it should install now without complain.
