Adobe installer helper will not work

(Had to create a new forum account to get back on here). Anyway, my Firefox add-ons said that my Adobe Reader 9 was out of date and should be upgraded. So I've downloaded the adobe install helper but the wretched thing won't execute. Just says this program has "stopped working" then Windows fails to find a solution.
I should now explain that I've recently upgraded my Dell Vostro 410 computer from WinXP to Windows 7 Pro (32 bit). Most things are running fine, but not this Adobe installer. Anyone got any thoughts, it must have happened to others as well.
(Going off to start the Christmas dinner now!).

Hello the latest is : http://get.adobe.com/reader/ Adobe Acrobat - Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.8.
Try to remove your old Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.4.0" version from Windows - Control Panel - Uninstall a program, go from : click on the Windows icon > Control Panel > Uninstall a program > Select the Adobe Reader 9.4.0 > click Uninstall > Yes > OK.
Now try to install the new one.
thank you

Adobe Active X will not work with my Windows 7. Suggestions?

My Adobe Reader 9.xxx was replaced with Active X, which will not work for me. I keep getting a box message that says perhaps the Adobe.com site is too busy at the tine. I would rather have my Adobe reader 9.xxxxx back as it worked very well for me. I have it on my other computer and it work fine. I am using Windows 7. Any suggestions?

After making changes to Internet Explorer, per Adobe's instructions, Adobe Reader is now working. Thank you for your patience and your help.

From what I understand from this message, it would seem that your Reader passed from "not working" to "now working", whatever you may mean by these two expressions. I am glad.
May I suggest that next time you have a question, please try to state it clearly and also give enough and accurate details about your problem?
It would also be useful if you coud mark this question as Answered.

Adobe Flash Player Will Not Work with Safari Mac OS 10.9.2

I have tried numerous times to install Adobe Flash Player for Mac OS 10.9 and get Plug-in error when I try to run it. Before the suggested update, Flash Player ran fine. I would not have tried the update except the files on the web site that I am usinf had a symnbol statiing that the later version of Flash Player was required for it to run.
I did what Adobe suggested and removed the plug-in and then reinstalled it. Still does not work. When is Adobe going to fix it? I think it was not well researched before the release, and it definately has compatibility issues with Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks
Thanks,
Fred

Hi Mike M,
Thanks for the quick response. It worked OK after I did this, and I alerted other users in my MUG just in case they have a similar aged Macs. I hope that the fix for this will be automatic in the next update.

Adobe Installation Helper is not displaying at all

Downloading is fine. And yes, I know where I downloaded it.
It's just when I run the application, I get the normal User Account Control take action prompt and I click Okay, but nothing shows up.
I open up Windows Task Manager and it is clearly there.
However, when I open the installer again it gives me the normal "you can't open two at the same time" message. This is the only message that actually displays from Adobe Acrobat Installer that shows up on my taskbar and as an actual task on Applications.
Any tips?
Not sure if it's related, but my Internet Explorer is having a problem where as soon as I click iexplore.exe, it flashes as if appearing to open, and instantly closes itself.

I had the same problem. I use Windows 7 and FireFox too. Here's what I did:
1) Uninstall the old version
2) Click on this link and choose Save File (I got this from the adobe site -- after searching for a solution over a long frustrating period of time):
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe
3) Close the browser (I was using FireFox)
4) Go to your downloads folder (or wherever your downloads go)
5) Find the file that says: install_flash_player
6) Open that file
7) Follow its directions and then re-open FireFox and try to watch something. It should work.

Adobe Flash Player will NOT work!

I am using Windows 7 and I am unable to watch any videos or listen to any music on websites such as youtube, iplayer, 4od and so on, which is very frustrating. I have installed and uninstalled Flash Player several times today, and tried it out on a variety of browsers including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome & Safari. Each time I try and enter a site such as youtube, the browser freezes up completley and I have to get the Windows Task Manager up to get the browser to close. I am not very good with computers, so I am hoping I am just making a mistake during download or the running of this application, as I really need it to work. Any help would be much appreciated, bearing in mind that computers are not my forte. I apologise if this thread has been posted on the wrong location too. I think I have Flash Player 10.3
Many thanks, Amy

Hi Amy,
Let's start with Chrome and IE. Could you go to the following page and let us know what version is displayed?

Adobe Flash Player, will not work. Crashes EVERYTIME.

I'm not a huge computer person, so this explanation will suck:
Okay, I have a Toshiba laptop, OS is Windows and I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser.
About 3 days ago, I opened Youtube and tried to play a video, and it said I need to update Adobe. I updated it to version 10.3.183.7.
Now videos/games/moving pictures works. It just says, "Adobe Flash Player failed.".
I've tried it on Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer, and nothing works.
I'm constantly on Youtube, but this is a huge disappointment. I've always used Adobe Flash Player, and it has always worked, but now it isn't.
Before you go and start asking/telling me very technical things, please be aware I will have not a clue what you are saying.
Thanks for reading.

Would you mind opening a new bug on this issue over at bugbase.adobe.com? Here's a post that describes the information we'll need and instructions for generating a crash log:

Adobe Dynamic Link will not work - Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects CS4

Hello,
I am edited a video with a deadline, I'm importing a sequence from Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects and making edits in After Effects. I'm able to import the Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects using Dynamic Link, but I go back to Premiere Pro and nothing has changed. Then I have to export the 21 minute long video in After Effects and that takes about 12 hours, that I can't afford. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, before I imported the timeline into AE, while I was in Premiere Pro I right clicked it and selected -Edit original. It took me to the .mov that I imported- since it's a redo. I learned how to use Dynamic Link from this tutorial-
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-cs4-production-premium/using-dynamic-link/
At first when Dynamic link didn't work I thought it was because I was cutting the imported Sequence from Premiere Pro in After Effects becasue I was motion tracking. When you import a Premier Pro sequence can you cut it into individual layers in After Effects?

I'm importing a sequence from Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects
That doesn't create the type of Link you want here. In this case, changes made to PP would show up in AE. You want the reverse. (And you can only go one way, not both.)

Latest Alert for Adobe Acrobat - Upgrade will not work, Any ideas???

Hi, When the issue with Acrobat first occured (ERROR MESSAGE: Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contact your IT Administrator or Adobe Customer Support), I did unistall and reinstall my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, once finished reinstalling, the error kept reappearing. I also jumped onto the Adobe website and download the latest upgrade to fix this problem (http://www.adobe.com/ap/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-04.html), but the problem keeps continuing.
Any thoughts or ideas will be much appreciated. I have tried every combination of tricks and reinstalls etc and cant get it too work at all.

Hi Micahel, thanks for getting back to me, just quickly (im not the very best with computers, but am ok), when you say to check the background processes, is that starting the task manager (ctrl+alt+delete) and clicking the processes tab to see if its running there? sorry, im just not too sure where to check for this.
thanks heaps, i appreciate the assistance.
Kind Regards
