"Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater"

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater is the error that jumps up when I try installing it. Currently this system is running Internet Explorer 7 which is installed at it's default location. Any clues what can have gone wrong?
Version 7.0.5730.13
Build 75730
Program path C:\Program\Internet Explorer (Swedish computer)
Language Engelska (USA)

I came upon this post after receiving this error message when trying to install Acrobat 9. In my case, we deploy Acrobat from an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using Group Policy. I believe the user at this computer pulled the plug while the group policy deployment was taking place. I got the error when trying to install the program manually afterwards.
I was able to rectify the issue by running msiexec.exe against the MSI in the AIP with the /x switch, performing an uninstall:
msiexec /x \\server\deploy\AcrobatStandard9\acrostan.msi
(The program was not showing up in Add/Remove programs, otherwise I would have tried uninstalling from there.) After that, the install proceeded successfully.
Hope this helps someone.

  • Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater

    Hello,
    I have a user who has reported Adobe Reader was not installed on his PC, which we complete via GPO as default for all our computers, and has never been an issue (WinXP and Win7 (x64) ).  When attempting to install the reader manually, I received "Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater"  This is a Win7 box.  It comes with IE 8!  Can anyone point me to the registry path the installer is looking for to determine the version of IE?  I've checked HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and verified both "Version" and "W2kVersion" read 8.0.7601.17514.
    I realize Reader X is available.  We're not ready to deploy it yet.  So any suggestion other than simply "install Reader X"  is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks for your time.

    I know I'm considerably late to the reply here, but I had the same issue with a Reader X install done via GPO.  This may be relavent info for the future, and may work for Reader 9 as well
    I read that someone had tried running the command line uninstall for an older version of reader, as it seemed to have not been removed completely.  I threw together a batch file to attempt to remove all the reader installs we had available along with the font packs.  Some of the font packs won't remove unless reader is present, so it re-installs the latest reader, removes the font packs again (to get whatever it missed) then reloads the font packs.
    So far this approach is 1 for 1.  Hopefully it helps out if you still need it.

  • Adobe Reader 9.x & 8.x "requires Internet Explorer 6"

    Friends PC in Italy had Reader 9.0 (Italian) installed and working fine. It has had Reader in various versions Italian & English over the last 5 years with no problems.
    Tried to update it to latest/securist version but got an error message that the update had failed in Italian (which I don't read)..
    Decided to uninstall and reinstall the latest version instead.
    Uninstall went through fine via control panel with no errors.
    Installing the 9.1.x Italian or English for XP SP3 (and also the 8.x.x) all fail every time with, the English version error message saying (and the Italian also) every time at c99% of the Nosso Adobe download manager:
    "Adobe Reader 9.1 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater. Please visit www.microsoft.com to upgrade Internet Explorer."
    XP is XP Pro SP3 (Italian)
    MS IE about says 7.0.5730.13
    Belarc advisor reports Microsoft Corporation - Internet Explorer Version 7.00.6000.16850
    Have followed the MS KB 917964 tips to (a) reset IE7 and (b) Reinstall IE7 with no change in Adobe Reader symptoms = stuck without Reader which is not a happy place to be.
    HELP anyone ?
    MK

    Thanks, MK. I was hoping the fix would be as simple as modifying an entry in the registry but everything seems to be in the proper order this far. I have seen a resolution to this issue which involved using a program named Orca to modify the MSI installer package so that it foregoes checking for IE but that should be totally un-necessary and it a fairly technical approach. I can provide you those directions if you are interested but I'd rather have you check a few others things first to see if we can actually get to the root of the issue.
    First, let's try running a few Microsoft tools to hopefully resolve any errant registry or disk issues:
    Cleanup temporary files:
    1. Open My Computer
    2. Right-click the C:\ drive > click Properties
    3. Click Disk Cleanup > place a checkmark in all options except "Compress Old Files" > click OK
    Repair file system issues:
    1. Open My Computer
    2. Right-click the C:\ drive > click Properties
    3. Click the Tools tab > click Check Disk
    4. Place a checkmark in "Automatically fix file system errors"
    Repair registry:
    1. Disable any anti-virus software that may be installed
    2. Go to: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/center/whatsnew.htm
    3. Click Full Service Scan
    4. Install any necessary plugins when prompted
    5. Run the complete scan when prompted and allow it to fix any issues it finds
    Since we are dealing with an Italian version of the OS, the site may redirect to the Italian version of the site (hopefully one exists). The OneCare Live safety scanner is meant to be a security tool for removing malware (not great at that part of its job) but it also includes a registry repair tool that has resolved many odd registry issues I have encountered since finding the tool.
    Finally, if none of the above fixes the issue, Adobe has a tool named CS3Cleaner which removes all traces of the Adobe SC3 suite. In doing so, it has proven to also remove most, if not all traces of ANYTHING Adobe. Uninstall all Adobe products prior to using this tool and see if it doesn't clean up any miscreant traces of the corrupted file and/or registry that may be causing the issue.
    CS3Cleaner: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    My bag of tricks is getting thinner so if this doesn't fix the issue, I will have to dig deep to see what else I can come up with.
    Best of success!

  • Acrobat 8 vs Internet Explorer

    Hi. I'm unable to install Acrobat 8 on my freshly formated Windows XP. All my computers are using the same setup installed from MSI. Internet Explorer 6.0 is the original web browser but we update it to 8.0. When I have to install Acrobat on one of these computers, I get this message : Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater. Please visit www.microsoft.com. I can install Acrobat 6.0 (we still have an old license for this oldie) but the update to the 8.0 doesn't change a thing. We also have CS4 and I can install the 9.0 but I don't want to use a license only to use Acrobat. Does someone have an idea for this strange problem? Thanks in advance.

    Esto es el Foro de Usuarios en español.
    Comprueba por favor en Panel de Control>Programas, si tiens instalado ademásde Acrobat 8 Pro algun Acrobat Reader, desinstalalo, porque no deben estar instalados ambos a la vez.
    Qué versión de Windows utilizas?
    Alguna razón para seguir usando IExplorer 8?

  • Error converting files to PDF in Internet Explorer- Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

    I've recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, from AAP 7. With AAP 7 I was able to open my windows based program, right click and convert the page to PDF. Since I've upgraded I am unable to do this anymore. When I right click and click to convert to PDF nothing happens. I've reinstalled the program, but still receiving the same error. Is there a way to fix this?

    If you open the file, what do your right click on? If you are talking about right-clicking the file icon in Explorer, that is not opening the file but using the functionality of Windows. Apparently the file associations did not get installed correctly or the print function does not work. You need to go back to step one and determine the functional aspects that fail. So, can you open the file in the application, select the print menu, and print successfully to the Adobe PDF printer? This is a key step that needs to work.

  • Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

    Hi,
    the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
    Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
    Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

  • How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

    I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
    How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

    You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

    Solution #2
    Select "Enable third-party browser extensions" in Internet Explorer Properties.
    1. Start Internet Explorer.

  • Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

    I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5.  I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago.  The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version.  I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version).  When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file.  All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below).  After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort.  This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer.  After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel.  Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program.  I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem.  I have no idea where to go from here.  All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot!  Please help!!

    You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

    We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.2.0 with Acrobat Distiller 8 and Adobe Live Cycle Disigner 8.0. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3, but it still will not open 9.3 documents it defaults to the Reader 8 and I get an error message.
    How do I change the default Reader to 9.3 or do I have to buy the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 in order to be able to open and use on-line forms that require 9.3?
    Help!

    Well that is my question, we have a fully authorized and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
    8.
    When I do an update for Adobe Acrobat 8, it does not install the updated Reader 9.3.
    In order to update the Reader to 9.3, I have to install it seperately. It does that, but when I open 9.3 it defaults to the 8 Reader.
    So I guess the answer to my question is that I have to update to the 9.3 full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, what a rip by Adobe just so we can use the newest "free" Reader.
