"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.

"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).

My "Adobe installer" is not running and "adobe application manager" will not update....

My question?
When did making art get so technical? Also, have the software engineers at Adobe finally begun to shed the Cheetos from their beards and then crown themselves as artists extraordinaire? Well good for them! Bad for me! No offense, but I've been wrestling with this for quite a while. Without a single Cheeto.....
Could somebody at least tell me that this problem is mostly imaginary? I can relate to that actually, one time in Santa Cruz...
Bridge crashes frequently, especially during a drag and drop action. Photoshop crashes less frequently, but when even a mere moment's worth of my eternal genius has been shed, all life weeps, including you...unknowingly...
I was then instructed by the Adobe to perform a strange ritual using an ancient language called the "DOS" and to inquire for the Adobe of the little known " fsutil file setshortname" routine. Then the Adobe would know my true name, and where my short paths were (?).I tried very hard to comply with the demands of the Adobelites who lounged in the Cloud but fled to this place for counsel./
This is all true. My mother said so.
Thanks, and with much too much time on his hands,
Erich

By "not running", what exactly do you mean?
You can't open it from "Programs"? You can't open it when double clicking a pdf file? You can't open a link to a pdf on a web page? Do you get any error messages?
More details please.

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.

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
Steve

I have been trying to download Adobe Air for a website I'm trying to access (Colonial Williamsburg). After the installation was finished, I went back to the website and it still said I didn't have Adobe Air. I tried reinstalling and Adobe said I already have it on my system (Mac OSX 10.9). I can't find the app. I uninstalled, restarted, etc. and same results.
Thoughts anyone?

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
close all browser windows, then run the installer

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).

Adobe Installer Hangs Up on MacBook Pro running OSx 10.7.5

I can get the Audition CS6 disk image onto my mac via Download assistant or directly. But when I try to install the Adobe Installer hangs up during "Initializing Installer" and forces me to do a hard reboot.
The same procedure works just fine on my mac running OSx 10.6.8
Any remedies?

Update Failed - You are already running the Adobe Application Manager....

I'm on Mac OS 10.8.4. When I try to update InDesign CC to the latest version, the Adobe Application Manager launches and give me the following error:
Update Failed
Updates could not be applied
You are already running the Adobe Application Manager. Please close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates.
So, I quit the AAM, verify that it's not running in Activity Monitor and relaunch it... to get the same error message. I haven't found a solution online, so I'm hoping someone can help me get past this.

Rfahl have you tried rebooting and then applying the update again? If so, and you still receive the same error, then you may want to try installing the update in Safe Boot mode. You can find more details for starting up in Safe Boot at OS X Lion: Start up in safe mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4373.

Can not update- message says you are already running the adobe application manager - but it is not open

I'm trying to update Indesign and Photoshop. I get a message saying that the Updates could not be applied - you are already running the Adobe Application Manager - but I have closed everything. It may be related to the fact that today, about every 2 minutes, Adobe Creative Cloud Connection pops up. I have closed it numerous times, but it continues to open.

Terminate the process(es) in Task Manager/ Activity Monitor.

Adobe CS4: Error 1618. Another installation is already in progress.

I can not reinstall the Flash or Fireworks components of my Adobe CS4. I get this error message: Error 1618. Another installation is already in progress. I am attempting to reinstall Adobe Creative Suite 4 because Acrobat was not interfacing with my Microsoft Word. Reinstalling Creative Suite reinstalled Acrobat which now interfaces correctly with Microsoft Word but I can not reinstall Flash or Fireworks which had been working fine. I open my task manager and shut off any unnecessary processes and disable my Norton firewall and antivirus. I have tried multiple times, restarting my computer after uninstalling CS4 before trying to reinstall. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

Hi Charles,
I don't think this has anything to do with Crystal Reports so go back to the top of the list and try one of the Classic SAP forums:

Or it may be Business One which is an OEM version of Crystal Reports in which case you need to post int his forum:
