Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 Update failure- "Error Applying Transforms, verify that the specified...

Question

I have ignored this issue for long enough.  I have Adobe CS4, with Acrobat Pro version 9.3.4.  Windows 7.  Acrobat updater pops up on my machine, and when I execute the update requested, the updater gives me the update failure message, with code 1604, "error applying transforms."
I have seen solutions posted for this tranforms message, but it was a problem with Acrobat 8.  I have seen no solutions as of yet for Acrobat 9, so I thought I would post.
I also tried opening Acrobat 9 Pro, and under the help tab, I initiated "repair".  I get the same transform error message as above.  Any advice anyone?  Should I just uninstall Acrobat 9 Pro and reinstall using my CS4 disk?
Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

If you have original CD with Acrobat installation, copy all files with extension .mst from this CD to the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\[ProductCode]   if this is 64bit system
or
C:\Program Files\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\[ProductCode]   if this is 32bit system
where [ProductCode] is a unique value which identifies your language version of Acrobat 9 Pro.
If this is EFG version, it should be {AC76BA86-1033-F400-7760-000000000004}
If location does not exist, create it.
2. If you do not have original CD and cannot find .mst files, provide the exact Product name including language and I will provide further instructions.
Good luck
