Adobe digital edition 4.0 will not install on windows 8.1

I am unable to install ADE 4.0 on my pc with windows 8.1 It does not extract installer, then just freezes. When I try to proceed it tells me ABD is running already but I cannot close it. Help!

As you suggested, I have downloaded the post-Win8.1 release of the Presenter
9.0 setup from Adobe. That did the trick on my Windows 8.1 machine.
Thank you for your assistance!

  • Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 will not run

    It used to run.  I used it to download e-books, but now I am told that it is an incompatable program.  What do I need to do.  I have tried to restart it.  I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and I installed an older version and tried up upgrade it.  I'm totallly frustrated!

    Try leaving ADE2.0 installed, then installing 1.7.2 and using that.
    You might need to deregister (ctrl-shift-D) and reregister,
    as ADE often gets confused registration over installs/reinstalls and thinks it is is registered when it isn't really.
    ~~~~~~~~~
    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.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    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.

  • Digital Editions 4.0 will not open after installation on Windows  XP laptop.

    Digital Editions  4.0 will not open after installation on Windows XP laptop.  DigitalEditions 3.0 installs and opens fine.  Have tried 4.0 several times.  Removed 3.0 and 4.0, reboot, reinstall 4.0 still will not open.  Error message says Windows has experienced and problem and requires that Digital Editions must be shut down.

    Solved my own problem. It was necessary to delete all instances of Adobe Digital Editions in programs and  the registry. After doing so and reinstalling 4.02...., it became available in the "open with" dialogue box and became the default epub reader.

  • CS3 will not install on Windows 7, 64-bit. No error message. Just stops installing.

    CS3 will not install on Windows 7, 64-bit. No error message. Just stops installing. This is a brand new machine. This is one of the first things I'm installing on it. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The disks are fine. I have the programs installed on my two XP machines. When I run the disk, I get the window pop up that says "Initializing Installation for Adobe Creative Suite 3". Then the disk stops spinning and nothing else happens. No error message. Nothing else happens. I'm baffled. I have searched several discussion boards and cannot find anybody that has had a similar install issue like this.

    Old_Timer I would recommend reviewing your install logs to determine the exact error message.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the logs at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-installation-install-logs-cs3.html.

  • Thunderbird will not install on Windows 8.1

    T-Bird & Firefox were running fine under Win 8.1 then would not upgrade. Only option was to try a new install. Now neither program will install. I did see a comment in the forum about making sure the the process: AeLookupSvc needs to be running which it is
    Cleaned the Reg with CC Cleaner and also checked using Reg Edit. Still will not install.
    The process started I added screen capture, you see it does the extraction process reaches 100% then nothing.
    I'm stumped. Could use any suggestions. Oh I even tried installing a older rev of Thunderbird and Firefox. Same problem.
    Could use some fresh ideas.

  • Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

    Any one had this issue
    Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • ICloud Control Panel 2.1 will not install on Windows 7 x64

    iCloud Control Panel 2.1 will not install on Windows 7 x64. If I try the to run the install from the Apple Software Updater it the iCloud 2.1 crashes and I get a message that suggests I do a download only  and they run it locally. I do that and the install i.e. the exe file just seems to never start even if I try to "Run as Admin"
    I go int o task manager and there is no instance of the install running.
    What is the issue/work around to this?
    Thx to all for help.

    I didn't try creating a new user profile. Not sure I completely understand what you're suggesting. I dont't want a new/different profile. I just want to be able to install the update.

  • ITunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  My only way to recover is to restore my system.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly.  When will Apply provide a workable update?

    iTunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  The only way I have found to recover is to restore my system.  I have unistalled/reintalled iTunes two times.  No success.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly (following system restore).  When is Apply expected to provide a workable update?

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

  • MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7

    MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7  in compatibility mode or any other way. I receive error " can not open \device\memory" and then " This program can not run on his hardware.
    Thinkcenter E series 8291-ETU --- upgraded from XP to Windows 7 yesterday.
    Any ideas on how to get this product installed in Windows 7 ?

    I recently did a clean install of Win7 Ult on my X61 7676A24, and this is the only Lenovo software that I could not find a Win 7 solution for. However,
    1. I was able to load WinDVD8 upgrade (from Lenovo's Win7 information page) after first loading the WinDVD5 version that was the last good release for Vista.
    2. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is basically Roxio's suite for writing cd/dvd's, drag to disc and so on.
    Since I could not load this anyway, I was forced to try out Win7's inbuilt cd/dvd writing - it works perfectly well.  Even better, Win7 natively supports an excellent ISO burning tool. So, I think if you explore these inbuilt tools, you can probably live without the Mul Cent for Think Off.

  • Adobe Flash will not install on Windows 7 x64

    Hello,
    I find myself in a bit of a pickle, which I have neither definitive answer nor logic to why this is happening. Whenever I install Adobe Flash I get an error message in a popup window as described below.
    Host
    Unable to load application configuration
    First of all I thought…? This can happen if the processor clock is out on the motherboard. I rebooted and checked the time and date stamp in the BIOS and it’s correct. Everything else works fine; it’s just Adobe Flash that is causing the problem. I am running Windows 7 x64 and selected Windows 7 x64 when I installed Flash. Shockwave, Air and all other Adobe applications were fine… it’s just Adobe Flash that is causing the problem. Any Answers would be appreciated; I’m left scratching my head with dismay because I cannot for the life of me know what is causing this error message.
    It’s the same for MSIE9 as well it will not install and comes up with the same error message.
    Thanks
    [RESOLVED]
    I took a second look at the BIOS and didn’t spot this the first time I looked. The time was correct, but out by 20 seconds which was the reason why updates and installations were in disarray. I never would have thought 20 seconds would have made much of a difference. But it does and I corrected the time to the precise seconds to pinpoint accuracy, saved the BIOS and loaded the OS and tried again and it worked first time.
    So the moral of this topic is, if you’re getting a message in a window which says the following…
    Host
    Unable to load application configuration
    Check the clock on your BIOS first, if the seconds are out but the time is correct, this the likelihood of the problem is being caused by the BIOS clock.

    What is the exact error you are getting?
    Have you tried to run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment ?
    If that still causes you an error please post your Windows version & edition.
    P.S. if your Windows user account has administrative permissions, then you don't need to go into the BIOS to correct your clock; you can do it from withing Windows, either manually, or using Atomic Clock Sync.

  • Adobe Pdf Converter Print Driver Will not install

    Solution 1: Use a supported installation.
    The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
    If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
    see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
    Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
    If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
    printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

    I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.
