"Adobe Digital Installer is Already Running"

I am trying to download a book from the Boston Public Library. If I hit "Open"  I get an Adobe Digital Uninstall box that says "Adobe Digital Installer is Already Running". If I hit save it will only download as an ACSM file which won't open in Digital Editions. It is the same for version 1.7 and 1.8. I can't get the books to open in Digital Editions.
Is there a way to uninstall everything and start from scratch or is there a way to fix this problem? My computer at work is working fine.

After downloading the ACSM file, you can double click it or right click it and then select open with Adobe Digital Editions (or Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 Preview) to start fulfilling your book. If being fulfilled successfully, the book will be opened in Digital Editions automatically.
To start from scratch, please go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs, uninstall Adobe Digital Editions (Adobe Digital Editions Preview), and then reinstall the program from http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/ (1.7) or http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/digitaleditions1-8.html (1.8 Preview).

  • "Adobe Installer is already running."

    Downloaded CS5.5  for Windows Trial edition. When the Adobe Download Assistant completed the download, it did not install the software,  and I received the error message "Adobe Installer is already running."
    Nothing else is running on this machine, as I shut down all programs and the Windows firewall. Went to the Adobe InDesign file on C: amd opened the file and clicked set-up and received the same message.
    Tried repeating the download, with the same result.
    Called Adobe and they are closed for the weekend.

    Many thanks! That solved the problem. Verne

    Well, if it tells you it is running, then it is running. Check your task manager for instances of setup.exe and msiexec.exe and terminate them. Mylenium

  • Trying to install CS6 but when I click to install it says Adobe Installer is already running.

    HI,
    I'm trying to install Adobe CS6 Master Collection but when I click to install it says Adobe Installer is already running when in fact it is not.  I double checked my Force Quit window and my Activity monitor it is not running. What do I do?
    Here is a screen shot to show you the error message.

    I'm not really  a Mac expert, we might need some Mac experts to chime in here.
    It probably is a background process and not an application. If anything, I think you'll find it in the Activity Monitor.
    If that does not help, you could also try the following:
    1. Reboot and retry install ( you've probably done this already)
    2. Boot in safe mode and then try installing.

  • How do I install the FM10 licensing fix when Adobe Update Installer won't run?

    Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fix
    This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
    Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM
           Tags (edit): none (add)  
    Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.
    I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and RH but not Acrobat, Captivate, or Photoshop.
    So, now what? Listen to my supervisor who says never use FM again?
    P.S. Why do I have to enter a title for my question and then do it again when this page opens??

    Give Adobe Support a call or contact the TCS team at [email protected] - something in your environment is causing the installer to fail (I'd guess).

  • Every time I minimize Adobe Digital Editions it stops running.  Windows says it is looking for a solution to the problem.  What can I do?

    I have Adobe Digital Editions 4.0 installed.  Everything works until I try to minimize the program.  When I do that the program crashes.  Windows tells me the program has stopped working.  What can I do?

    I get this same issue continuously. I've reinstalled the app, reinstalled Windows but on every one of my Windows devices as soon as I minimize the app it crashes.

  • Installing Photoshop CC 2014 fails -  Another installer is already running

    rebooted several times.  No other programs are opened.

    restart your computer and retry.
    if that fails, check your task manager (win) or activity monitor (mac).

  • Another installer already running

    When I originally downloaded PS Elements 13 and tried to run the installer, it would always crash - telling me that another installer was already running.  I had to download the files manually.  Now the software is trying to apply an update to version 13.1 and I am having the same problem - the installer tells me that another installer is already running.
    I have rebooted my machine (running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64) in case another process was hanging around from a previous software update but this makes no difference.  Anyone got any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    check your running processes in task manager.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Digital Editions for Surface RT

    I would like to purchase a Microsoft Surface tablet to replace my netbook. The Surface runs the Windows 8 RT operating system, which is different from Windows 8. Executable files (such as the Adobe Digital Editions installation EXE) cannot be run on RT -- apps must be downloaded from the Microsoft Windows App Store. Will Adobe make a version of Adobe Digital Editions that will run on the Surface RT?
    Thanks,
    Cara

    H'mmm. 
    I just checked out the Windows8 Metro (what are we meant to call it?) specific version of Overdrive.
    I didn't check it on a tablet but on the Metro side of full Windows 8; I guess it should be the same, but ???
    I did manage to register it with my AdobeID (charms-Settings-Accounts).
    I then found that it would not open DRM .epub files from the main part of the PC (library or bought).
    However, when I opened a .acsm file for a library DRM ebook, it did work
    Trying to open my (only) bought DRM ebook using the .acsm file,
    it keeps saying 'system busy, this title will be added after the current process has finished'
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Other advice indicates that it is meant to be able to ... eg from http://www.koorong.com/info/ebooks/deviceadvice.jsp
    Windows 8 RT Tablet:
    Getting Started: 
    You will need to install an app capable of reading DRM-protected ePub files on your Windows 8 tablet device. We recommend Overdrive Media Console available for free from the Microsoft App Store.
    You will also need to enter your Adobe ID into Overdrive which can be done through the 'Accounts' option in the Settings menu. Swipe in from the right of the screen to open the menu and select 'Settings'. Select 'Accounts' and then 'Authorize'. Enter your Adobe ID and password.

  • Problem updating cs6 "application manager is already running..." ?

    Hi everybody
    When im trying to update CS6 the application manager app don doit and give this message: "adobe application manager is already running, please close other instances before applying updates."
    There is not other instances of the application manager running? how could this error be fixed?
    thanks for your help

    Yes, of course, I have checked and there is only one instance of the Adobe Application Manager.
    The 2 updates are:
    Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud
    Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2 Update
    This problem originally started before Christmas with the Photoshop update.  When the Bridge update became available this month, it also had the same issue.
    Up until the Photoshop update problem, other updates worked fine.

  • CS6 Design and Web Premium - Install Error "You are already running another installer,"

    Hi
    I have just downloaded CS6 Design and Web Premium and I have been having problems running the Adobe Installer on a Windows 8 HP laptop. The Adobe installer gets 75% way through the setup process and then stops with error message "Installerfailed to initialise".
    I have run Adobe Support Advisor and the error message is "cpsid_82829s6: "You are already running another installer," bootstrapper error has occurred."
    I have looked at the FAQ's and have done the following
    I have checked System Resources -> Process and I can't see any other setup programmes running
    I have run CS5 Cleaner tool and cleared out any older versions of adobe products
    Rebooted the laptop
    Tried running the Adobe Installer and the same error messages appear.
    Submitted/packaged the Adobe Support Adviser - 40-85436-165301042013
    I did prevousily have CS6 Cloud Trial running on the Laptop but all of the porgramms have been uninstalled and the CS5 Cleaner Toll appears to have cleared any remaining elements.
    I would be grateful for some help and advice in sorting this out.
    Kind regards

    Hi
    I have hopfully attached a PDF with screen shots of the process.
    Hopefully will be of some help in resolving the problem.

  • What can I try next?  Adobe Reader on Mac not working. Repair installation/"shut down running..."

    I am trying to fill out a form online which will not open and it says that I should install the latest version of Adobe Reader. 
    I have downloaded and tried to install Adobe Reader 9.4 on my Mac Book Pro.  (computer software including Safari have been updated)
    The form still does not appear on the screen, so I tried have been looking into what is wrong with Reader.  One issue is when I select "about Adobe Plug-Ins" it seems that most of them have not been loaded.  i.e. "Acrobat Accessibility"
    Not sure what to do so I selected to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" and this is what comes up:
    "Select the optional components you would like to repair..."
    This is what comes up:
    "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari"
    I select that and then this message appears:
    "Please shut down running applications
    Adobe Reader requires Safari to be closed before it can install or remove the selected components. If you are running Safari, please close the application and then click OK to install selected components or remove unselected components. You may also press Cancel to install the selected components at a later time."
    I have closed all running applications that I can think of and the message will not go away after I press "ok".
    What can I try next?

    I tried this:
    Manually uninstalling a plugin
    If you can't use an uninstaller program to remove a plugin, you can remove it manually:
    In the Location bar, type about:config and press Return.
    The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
    Search for the preference: plugin.expose_full_path.
    Double-click on the plugin.expose_full_path preference in the list to change the value to true.
    ''''''''''' '''''Enter about:plugins into the Location bar to display the About Plugins page.
    Each entry in the About Plugins page will have "File name:" followed by a path. Navigate to the folder shown for the plugin you want to remove.
    Rename the file to something other than its normal name - e.g. npswf32 becomes Xnpswf32''''''''''''''''
    Double-click on the plugin.expose_full_path preference in the list on the about:config page to change the value back to false to avoid exposing the plugin path to websites.
    The plugin will be removed.
    I can't select the file name to change it. It's just a list.
