Adobe Digital Edition 4.0.3 on Windows 8.1 will only run as Administrator

When trying to run ADE4.0.3 as standard user on Windows 8.1 nothing happens but I can see it is producing Windows Error Reports when monitoring it with Process Explorer and the Windows Application log shows two events (id 1026 and 1000) in quick succession when I try to launch it. See extracts of the Windows event logs below.
When I run the application as an Administrator their is no problems and the application launches as expected. It would appear to be some sort of permissions error either in .Net Framework, File system or registry. Please assist.

Unable to install ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 on Windows 7

Hi
My current installation of Windows 7 contains Framework NET 4.0 Full.
It is up-tp-date with this.
I'm unable to install ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 on this system, because
of the prerequisite required to install this packege.
ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1. requires NET 3.5 on Windows 7 (and this is old/outdated today).
When will ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 install on Windows 7 with NET 4?
Any other ideas to get this up and running?
Thanx

You can install the different versions of .NET at the same time, and that is what you need to do for quite a few programs.
Microsoft don't make them upward compatible.
You could install the older v1.7.2 instead, much more relaible and I don't think (not sure) it as .NET requirement.
~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

Is Adobe Digital Editions compatible with 64-bit Windows 7?

My computer was having bluescreen issues so I did a System Recovery. I want to make sure all new software is compatible. Not sure what this means in the Technical Requirements: Windows 7 32 or 64 bit running in 32-bit mode.

it's compatible.
the tech specs indicate ade will be running in 32bit mode, not 64 bit.

ITunes 10.5 will only run as Administrator, Windows 7

I have seen numerous threads on this but none of the proposed solutions work. I can get iTunes 10.5 to run, but only when using "Run as Administrator". I should not have to do that to run iTunes each and every time. I've done everything short of reinstalling Windows and I'm not going to do that as the PC runs perfectly fine except for this one issue. Without running as Adminstrator, when I go to run iTunes it just flat out refuses to run with no error message provided.
Also, with iTunes running as admin, it steals the IR remote commands "Stop" and "Skip" and blocks Windows Media Centre from being able to use those IR commands. I am guessing that part of this is because iTunes is running as admin. I've never had any of these problems with previous versions of iTunes.

I agree. I am having the same issue.
Stop, Skip forward and Skip backwards buttons appear to be stopped until I kill itunes.
Other issue is that itunes keeps re-spawning due to the recent changes to wifi sync. Had to kill the itunes helper service to stop this re-opening.
I have noticiced that it is particularly bad when itunes throws an error (unable to sync) and that then it captures the input destined for Windows Media Centre (Windows 7 on a Home Theatre PC)

Trouble opening version 3.0 adobe digital editions

previously had adobe digital editions 2.0.
installed adobe digital editions 3.0 last night and was able to use it.
now I tried opening it and it woulfd not open. have all my stuff migrated onto this and already deleted version 2.0

If you look at that thread posted above you will discover that in fact the answer is NO. There is no Linux version of Adobe Digital Editions - there is an OLD Windows version that you can run in Linux using WINE. Adobe Digital Editions sucks. DRM sucks.
From June UK residents will have a legal right to make copies of ebooks for personal use, and 'format shift' these if they so choose, hopefully this will encourage publishers to abandon this hopeless crippled and crippling technology - the analogy I like to use is to imagine if you could only read a paperback if you were wearing a particular pair of glasses.

Do you have a Linux version download of Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 Installers ?

Hi I am running Ubuntu version 13.10, I can't find a version for Linux to download for Adobe Digital Editions.
Is there one that exists ?
Or do I have to go to windows to get this ?
Cheers

Does Windows 8.1 support Adobe Digital Editions 2

I have an Archos 9.0 eReader. Adobe Digital Editions has always worked on Windows 8 but since upgrading to Windows 8.1, I am unable to download from Windows 8.1 to the eReader. Should I delete the Adobe Digital Editions file and download a newer version.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Howell E

ADE2.0.1 sort of works for me, going through the Win 8 to 8.1 upgrade without deterioration.
I don't actually use it to transfer to my eReader (Sony PRS-350),
as bugs in ADE2.0/2.0.1 mean that it will not work with that eReader and Overdrive library books.
That isn't an OS version isssue, but an ADE bug.
General solution to many curious problems ...

Unable tu install and use Adobe Digital Editions

Hi, I tried to install Adobe Digital Editions 4.0 on my Windows 7 pc but it doesn't run... I tried to install the previous version 3.0 but the result is the same... Is possible to install the version 2.0 and where can I find it? Thank for your interest

I don't think there is a way out.
You could use it for non-DRM books without authorizing, but there are much better options (such as the free Calibre) for that anyway. http://calibre-ebook.com/
If you make a temporary internet connection, then once authorized, you should not need internet access to read books you have got elsewhere and copied to it.

I'm having trouble with the install of Adobe digital editions

I'm having trouble with the install of Adobe digital editions, how can we fix this? It will begin to dowload it says complete but stops there, no other prompts and if you click the close button it appears that it begins to delete itself. How can i fix this issue?

Hi,
It would be great, if you provide us with the environment where you are trying the install the ADE.
For Example,
- ADE version
- Operating System
- Anti-Virus you are using.
- did you logged in as Admin or user on your computer.
(*any error message you are able to locate/view from Event Viewer- If using Windows OS)

Trouble opening up adobe digital editions 2.0?

I was able to access my e-books via the adobe digital editions 2.0 currently installed on my computer. However, in the past few days, I have been unable to open up the program. I get an error message stating "adobe digital editions has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution", but nothing happens after that. I've tried uninstalling, and reinstalling the program, but this has not helped. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
