Adobe Acrobat 8.2.4 will not uninstall without cashing windows uninstaller

I have a Dell 8100 with Windows 7 home 64 bit. I found Acrobat 8.2.4 would not open. I attempted to uninstall. It get 95% through removing files and such and crashs. It displays ERROR 1316 Network error occurred while attempting to read from file. \windows\installer\acrostan.msi.
If you put the original Acobat 8.0 installation disc and attempt to do an uninstall again it completes about 95% of the uninstall before I receive the following Error 1935 An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'policy. 8.0.microsoft.vc80.version='8.0.52727.163", type=vin32-policy", publickeytoken="1frc8b3b9a1e18e3b", Processorarchitecture="x86".
This error was caused by an Adobe Acrobat Update. Could we please get some assistance in uninstalling this program. Is is not asking much to have you support you own software.
I do not think this request is unreasonable nor does anyone of the thousands of other with this same problem.
Thank you

Acrobat 8.x was never compatible with Windows 7. It should not have been installed. You may try the following:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333227.html
or
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400658.html
But as the article mentions if it fails you will need to speak with a Level 3 support tech. None of these articles address Windows 7 explicitly, since it should never have been installed.

My licensed copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 will not load

My licensed copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 will not load - the disk just isn't recognized by our drives any longer. How do I get a replacement disk? BTW - Adobe support seems to be the worst I've ever experienced from any single company. I am getting no where! It took me forever to find this forum and I am not expecting any results. Is there a competitor for Adobe Acrobat 9.0? I need to convert documents to PDF, combine pages, etc.... We are paperless and need these functions.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Prof - PDFs will not open in Adobe automatically

I have a workstation that has Adobe Acrobat 8 professional installed. I was first notified that the user complained that each time he opened a PDF in an Email, it would open in Explorer. I had him save a document to his c; drive and did a view file type. In that listing, there was no Adobe professional listed. I attempted to browse to the adobe.exe file but each time, it would default back to explorer, even if I checked the box for it to default to the adobe.exe file that I browsed to. I also noted that adobe never became an application in that listing.
We uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it. Still not successful. We ended up installing Adobe Reader, but the user wants it to open in Adobe Professional. I know that he can save the document then open it with Adobe profesional, but this is an extra step and he would like to be able to just double click on the file and open into Adobe Professional.
What do I need to do to make this work?
Thanks in advance.

QUOTE>>>To clarify, you would need to first check to see if the PDF extension is set to open (screenshot.20). THIS IS THE AREA THAT PDF IS NOT IN.
If it is not set to open with Acrobat <your version here> (screenshot.21), then you will need to manually tell the computer what program to use. This is where it becomes important to know the filename you are looking for. Adobe is a company; Acrobat is a program. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I TRIED TO DO AND OF COURSE I KNOWN I USED THE WRONG NAME / WORD HERE BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR THE CORRECT FILE. WHEN I CHOSE THE ACROBAT.EXE FILE IT WOULD STILL OPEN IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
I have a different version than you do, but as an example, my program is located here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe I'M IN THE RIGHT AREA AND GOT THE RIGHT FILE NAME. THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE.
Can we get off the wrong word use and get back to a solution please. I am in the right folder c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 8.0\acrobat.exe and I am browsing for ACROBAT.exe (not ADOBE.exe - again wrong word in my first discussion)
Bad day, sorry!

Adobe Acrobat Pro serial number will not install or register

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and tried to install it on my computer. I entered the serial number and registered it. However, every time i open the program, it warns me that my 30 day trial will expire in 0 days. I click on "license this software" and enter the serial number again, and register it again. It works for one instance of use, then the insanity begins all over, and the trial expiration message pops up next time i open the program.
I have tried uninstalling the software, then running the adobe cleaning tool, restarting the computer, then installing the software again. This did not solve the problem.
It is nearly impossible to talk to a human being at Adobe customer support.
Can anyone help me?

Adobe Acrobat 8 professional Mac will not upgrade from 8.1.5 to 11.0.9

Hi:
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 professional for Mac version 8.1.5 trying to upgrade to 11.0.9 but when I download the update it fails to grab the application. Although its visible, to advise to install the update it will not allow me to click on update. I am using a MacMini running on
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

From AA 8, you have to purchase the full AA XI. There is no upgrade for products before AA 9. You should not have been able to purchase XI from Adobe as an upgrade with only 8 as the prior product.

Is there any error message or any error code once you launch the application?
If you are using CS6 Suite please follow these steps :-
Launch another CS6 application, such as Photoshop.
Choose Help > Deactivate.
Follow the onscreen prompts to deactivate.
Close the application.
Launch the same CS6 Suite product again.
Sign in with your Adobe ID associated with CS6 suite to re-activate.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard will not open

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard in July 2005. It has worked fine with no bugs. I really do not need to upgrade but now have a problem. I have had some other issues with my computer and now when I try to open this program, I get a window that says:
The installation source for this product is not available. Veryify that the source exists and that you can access it.
I have not deleted it to my knowledge but it won't open. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a million!

If you registered or can show proof of purchase, you should be able to get it back from Adobe, though they will likely tell you to upgrade. It is a matter of proof of purchase. The registration is the standard process to assure this agreement. They claim they do not have old versions, but I doubt that is totally true if you push the point and can demonstrate the purchase.
In any case, Adobe is the one that would have to fix the issue for you. Next time, be sure to burn a CD and also register (if not done). Burning program CDs is important for any software you buy off the web.

Adobe Acrobat 6.0.1 will not open after update

I was prompted to add a patch to my Adobe Acrobat 6.0 running on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 After down loading the patch and installing, Adobe Acrobat will not open. A prompt comes up warning me; "The currently selected language resources are not supported by the current version of Adobe Acrobet. Please reselect the language in the international Systems Preference panel." I did this to no avail. Anyone else with this problem? Thanks!

Did the update info come from Adobe? In any case, you might try a repair (not sure how that is done on a MAC. You can also download updates from Adobe at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh.

I HAVE ADOBE ACROBAT PRO. IT WILL NOT OPEN/WORK.

HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM BEFORE. HPPSC217.
WAS TOLD TO GO TO PHOTOSHOP AND DEACTIVATE ACROBATX PRO.
WILL TRY RE-INSTALLING - DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

Hi up and at em,
What happens when you try to launch Acrobat? Are you getting an activation error? Or a different type of error? Please elaborate. It would also be helpful to know what operating system you're on (Mac or Windows, and version).
We look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,

OEI will not uninstall

We have a problem in which Outlook Email Integration will not uninstall. In Windows XP, in Control Panel | using Add/Remove Software, OEI goes through the uninstall process but it doesn't actually get removed. There is still an entry in Add/Remove Software. OEI will not install because it still detects a previous install.
Is there a way to manually uninstall all traces of OEI so we can reinstall it?
Additional Info: All users are local admins.
I have fixed this on one computer by doing a System Restore and backing it up to a Restore Point before OEI was installed but would rather not have to perform a System Restore each time this happens.
Edited by: user9356771 on Mar 17, 2010 2:22 PM

Make sure that when you uninstall OEI that you do not have MS Outlook loaded.

I have installed a free download from an older version adobe reader and it will not uninstall?

Most programs unistall easily from the control panels add/remove programs icon application.
This older version i installed on my computer will not uninstall.
Any sggestions.
It tends to stall out or not uninstall at all.
There is not even an unistall choice available any more on the add/remove programs.

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?" I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes. Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing. In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.
Thanks for your interest in helping!
