Adobe digital editions keeps trying to install itself,

I am running Windows 7 64 bit, my OS is a fresh install (3 weeks old). At random times during computer use, adobe digital editions attempts to install itself (even though it is already installed) and then multiple error messages spawn saying 'an instance of adobe editions 4.02 installer is already running'. Sometimes this will spawn 20+ error messages even if I immediately hit the cancel button on the installer.
I've gone through my entire computer and deleted every instance of the editions installer exe, checked my startup in msconfig, ran malwarebytes; spybot; security essentials; emptied temporary files; uninstalled digital editions and tried installing using the prompt.
The prompt seems to occur more often after starting my computer up, sometimes I will receive a chain of 3-4 separate instances in the first 5-10 minutes of boot. But the installer does then also randomly occur during regular computer use, even when idle. This is becoming incredibly frustrating as it the installer forces my screen to itself, dragging me out of whatever program i was using at the time.
Any help would be much appreciated, please let me know if I can provide more information in solving this stupid issue.

Well I found my own solution, it may help you as well. When I got the install error, I opened up task manager and switched over to the 'processes' tab. I selected one of the instances of the error, right clicked and hit 'open file location'.
This took me to the file within my windows user folder, which seemed to be some partially installed temp file. Delete that file (shift+delete) and the stupid problem should go away.

Best is to edit in HD and export to SD.
You need the AVCHD 1080i 25 Anamorfic.

Bing Bar 7.0 (KB2626804) Keeps trying to install itself on my HP and Fails.

Hello, I have upgraded my system to Windows 10 Pro, and ever since it has been trying to install the Bing Bar 7.0 and failing. I dont need it. Dont have it. Didnt have it on my Windows 7 Pro. So I have no idea why it is trying to install it on my system. I have looked everywhere on my computer, and it is not in the programs to be installed. I have even looked in all of my browsers, to make sure that it wasn't hidden in any of those. It isnt. So I did a DxDiag on my system to see what it had to say, and when it uploads and fails, the Diagnosis says: +++ WER2 +++:

Adobe Digital Edition - Can´t be installed on Intel based Mac 1.7.2

Hello!
I´ve bought a ebook and have to use Adobe Digital Edition. After the download of Adobe Digital Edition 1.7.2 x86 the program can´t be installed.
Directly after starting the installation the program says "The programm will only work with Intel based Macintoshees".
The problem is, I am definetily using a 15" Macbook Pro 2010 with Intel and this problem occurs.
I am also sure, I have downloaded the correct version.
I could not even download the ADE on the adobe page because my system doesn´t fulfil the requirements which could not be.
Is there an official problem with the current version or anybody who could send me an older version?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Roxio Media Manager - It keeps trying to install itself

Hi Everyone,
Roxio Media Manager continuosly tries to install itself and it won't go away. I tried to uninstall it but a window pops up that states Windows Installer is running. I tried to force quit the installer and/or Roxio, but I don't see anything in the processes panel.
I tried running registry cleaners, tried an aftermarket uninstaller program... nothing has worked. What's worse, the Windows Installer window keeps popping up and interrupts everything I'm trying to do on the computer. I can't even let it go in the background and ignore it.
Not only that, but it is also bogging down the processor immensly.
Everywhere I look on the internet, people keep suggesting a windows clean up utility from the Microsoft site, but that download is no longer available (apparently it too was causing problems)
The only other suggestion was http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/898890.htm and recommended that I download & reinstall "Desktop Manager 5.0.1 B73 Multilanguage with Media Manager", but that file is obsolete now and is no longer on the RIM site.
I'm at a total loss for what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Rob

Adobe Digital Edition keeps showing error message when i download my ebook. Pleease help?

i have restarted my pc closed and opened the program, opened another internet page to check if its connect and its still not working?

Are you sure it is still the same underlying Adobe account that was used when then books were originally accessed, with just the password changed?
In that case, should just have continued working, but ... you are using the world's worst software so anything can happen.
Try deauthorizing the computer and reauthorizing.
~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
Another is "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0

Adobe Digital Editions Errors trying to open a PDF

We never had to open this file up on any of the machines that had Adobe 8 and now we get this error after installing the Digital Editions. We have tried it on two machines so I have no idea what the problem is.
Adobe DRM Error
System: 8
State: 4
Class: 65603

Any help would be apperciated.

This user contacted me through the digitaleditions mailing list and was handled. For all DRM issues, we recommend that you go to the Digital Editions support center and log a web-support case. The center is at

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.
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.

How can I properly and COMPLETELY uninstall Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 from my Mac?

OK, so yeah, I *SHOULD* have known better...
A few months back, against my better judgement and without doing the proper due diligence, I tried installing Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 onto the primary drive of my MacBook Pro (running MacOS 10.6.8).
The tell-tail signs:
PROBLEM #1
While there IS readily available "Tech Specs" documentation for the current Adobe Digital Editions v4.0.1 installer for MacOS (which clearly states "Mac OS X v10.8 or later" is REQUIRED), there is absolutely NO indication or similar documentation for supported system software for PREVIOUS versions of Adobe Digital Editions.
Reference URL:
http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/downloads.html
PROBLEM #2a
Adobe Digital Editions v3.0 for MacOS comes as an installer (which REQUIRES admin authentication to provide root-level access to your computer).
PROBLEM #2b
Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0 Installer" is FULLY launchable under MacOS 10.6.8 (and the installed application will require MacOS 10.7 or later).
PROBLEM #2c
There is NO associated ("ReadMe" type) support document included on the "ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg" disc image and ZERO integrated documentation within in the installer.
PROBLEM #2d
There is NO Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0" UNinstaller either installed as part of the "Standard" installation package OR currently downloadable from Adobe.com.
PROBLEM #3
Adobe's ONLY MacOS solution to "Uninstall previous versions [prior to the current v4.0] of Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS" are the following instructions:
It's necessary to have administrator privileges to complete these steps.
1. From your user directory, locate /Applications
2. Drag the digitaleditions1x5 folder to the Trash, and empty the Trash.
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
PROBLEM #4
Adobe's "What are my contact options?" page indicates BOTH "Chat (within 90 days of registration)" and "Forums" as available "Basic Support" options for Adobe "Digital Editions" software for "Download, install, setup" help, however, "Forums" is the ONLY available choice under "Contact options" for on Adobe's "Contact Customer Care" page (for "Download, install, setup" help with Digital Editions).
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=ADE_downloading-installing-setting-up_s tillNeedHelp
PROBLEM #5
The ONLY available "Basic Support" option for "How-to's & troubleshooting" help is the Adobe Forums...and this is an example of the type nonsense response (then followed by NON-response) that one might receive there:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6570142
[NOTE: After MUCH searching I did, however, manage to find a potentially interesting "Let us know how we’re doing" link (under the "Our support promise" link found on the "What are my contact options? page). I am going to send them a brief message along with a link to THIS post and hope for the best.]
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html
PROBLEM #6
While I did NOT realize this prior to my attempting to install Adobe Digital Editions, apparently it would require me to "activate" my computer with an Adobe ID.
[NOTE: This information IS included in the readily accessible FAQ (and I am sure it's also found in the installer integrated software "License"), however, this is a MAJOR "feature" of this software and could be presented MUCH more prominently as an installer integrated "ReadMe" screen.]
Reference URL:
http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/faq.html
...and, as an added bonus, there is a SIGNIFICANT "spyware" issue with this software discussed in further depth here:
http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-eboo k-libraries/
As an experienced and life-long Mac user, I really SHOULD have known better and I did have second thoughts almost immediately, but by then it was TOO LATE!!!
So, now I have this TOTAL crap, super duper DRM software that required root-level permission to install (AND I couldn't even run this installed v3.0 copy under my preferred MacOS 10.6.8 if I wanted to...but, of course, I now have ABSOLUTELY NO desire to ever use this software again), and I just want to COMPLETELY remove all traces of it from my computer!
A pretty thorough Google search yielded several so-called "solutions" that were as bad or EVEN worse than the very limited "official" resources found directly from Adobe!
Any actual, real working solutions would be VERY greatly appreciated!
Thank you SO MUCH for your time and consideration in reading!!!
Sincerely,
aadams77

Hmm, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I searched my entire drive for "digital editions", and this is the whole thing:
/Applications/Adobe Digital Editions 3.0.app
/Users/user/Library/Caches/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app
/Users/user/Documents/Digital Editions
/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.bom
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.DigitalEditions.plist
The application itself, three small files scattered in your user account, to unimportant installation receipt files, and another preference file in the root Library folder. Removing those should remove everything related to version 3, which is what I have installed.
Where I substituted "user" above (for the three entries of /Users/user/...), replace that with whatever the actual name of your user account is.
Edit: I double checked the installer using a small app that sorts out every file in an installer, and where each item would normally be installed. The main app is literally the only item in the installer. The receipts are created by the OS per the installer's data, and the other minor preference files are created when the app is first run. There is nothing else.

Do I need Adobe Digital Editions 2 and 3. on my computer?

Recently I was going through 'Programs and Features' and realized I had Adobe Digital Editions 2 and 3 installed. Are both needed. I am running Vista on Windows 7 (64 bit).
I have medical memory problems and am finding Chrome to be challenging.
I also wonder if this could be related to the problem I am having with not being able to open Adobe Reader. I have the JavaScript all figured out and am trying everything I can think of to open Adobe Reader. I am open to any suggestions.
Because of my problems all replys need to be in English (not in computer jargon) and in a 1, 2, 3 sequence. Sorry to be troublesome but thats me.
Thanks to all who want to give it a try.

I had the same issue. I uninstalled version 2 and my program ran fine. Well, it still has the same problem I had with version 2, which is why I'm in the forums right now, but you don't need both versions. I don't know if having both will cause issues or not (some extensions and apps have this issue) from what I saw, downloading version 3 did not update version 2. You just got another ADE program that was a bit newer.
However, I'm not an expert. This is just what I experienced by uninstalling it. I highly doubt you'd have a problem. And if you do have some weird issue from it? Uninstall all ADE programs from your computer, and then reinstall the most current version available. Should fix you right up. Good luck!

Authorizing Adobe Digital Editions

Just bought new laptop. Downloaded Adobe Digital Editions. Tried to authorize. Received error message that same Adobe ID cannot be used on diff computer.
Not had this issue before since used ADE on both desktop and old laptop. Only have the one eMail address to use as Adobe ID.
How do I authorize

Hi there,
              The one thing with Adobe Digital Edition is, it is for limited devices.
              When you tried to authorize your device with your adobe id of digital edition, it would have not worked.
              Not to worry, you can just through the de-authorize and re-authorize steps to keep your email address working for the device.
              In Adobe Digital Edition (ADE), if you press Ctrl+Shift+D (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+D (Mac) will remove the activation on your computer, and allow you to reactivate with a different ID or the same ID when you launch ADE again.
              Press "Ctrl+Shift+E", this will bring up the "Device Deactivation" dialog.
              Select your Reader and deactivate it.
              Unplug and replug your Reader
              The Device Authorization dialog should show up, and you can authorize again with your Adobe ID.
               In case if the above steps do not work, you can surely approach Adobe trained agents on adobe.com Monday to Friday on working hours and you will come out with smiling face.

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!

Adobe Digital Editions - Activation server error

I have Adobbe Digital Editions 2.0 on my dekstop computer. I am trying to authorize it (Ctrl-Shift-U), but for the past two weeks I have been getting this as an error message:
Activation server error
code: E_AUTH_NOT_READY
Digital Editions encountered an error on the activation server.
I have tried setting up new Adobe IDs and have even tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Adobe Digital Editions.

I had a similar problem and this worked for me (the IE assistance came from a helpful person in the forum)
uninstall ALL versions of Adobe digital editions (I tried v1.7, 2 and 3!)
use INTERNET EXPLORER to download ADE v 3.
DISABLE windows firewall BEFORE installing ADE3.
Install ADE 3 and I found I could then aauthorize my computer using help>authorize computer in the ADE menu.
Re-download e-book (because previous downloads had expired), and I was able to open my ebook.

We are trying to install Adobe Digital Editions 4.O. it errors each time.

The application will not install.
We are using Microsoft Windows XP Professional
The message that comes up is Adobe Digital Editions 4.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We did this. We then rebooted the computer and tried to install again.
The same error occurs.
How do you install this on Widows XP?

Please try the new release of ADE (link: http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/download.html)
Some important kobo related bugs/crashes are fixed in this release.
I hope it fixes your crash issue as well.
Let me know if it works for you.
