Adobe Reader 8.12 Silent Install Breaks If same version already exists (New)

June 2, 2008 I built a silent package that works fine but silent install breaks if the machine already has same version of adobe reader installed. Is there a way to check before the installation begins and cancell the install without prompting any screens to the users. I want to push this silent package to 600 machines but when silent install breaks, it prompts the user to remove or repair AR. Can someone pls. help with this....thanks.6049212177

  • Cannot Install Adobe Acrobat XI Purchase. Message "A more functional version already exists" and then exits program.

    The only other Adobe program I have on my computer is Adobe Reader XI. I had a trial version of Adobe Pro XI but I have since deleted it from my computer and am still getting the error message. It will not let me complete installation.
    Did I just waste $300?

    Hi jsr_legalassistant,
    Please use the Acrobat Cleaner tool ( Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs ) and remove Acrobat completely from the machine.
    Reinstall and check.

  • Adobe Reader won't open  Tried installing updated Adobe Reader and error came up in the process and told me to contact software manufacturer.  Could I uninstall current Adobe Reader and then try installing the current AR?  Any ideas?

    My Adobe Reader wouldn't download tickets.  Tried opening Adobe Reader application but it would not open.  I saw my Adobe Reader needed to be updated, so I attempted to install new Adobe Reader.  When it came to finalizing, it said there is an error and can't do.  Any ideas?  I have no functioning Adobe reader.  Should I uninstall old Adobe Reader and then try installing the updated AR?

    (Had to step away & do things) I can't even open up the Adobe Reader application to uninstall; get message it won't open. And now have more things needing to be downloaded to print.  Any ideas on how to open the app, so I can uninstall.  I have a MAC OS X 10.9.4  When the installation initially failed I received this message from Adobe, " Adobe Reader Installation Error  Package name Adobe Reader xi (11.0.07)  Installer: installing abase path/installer: The install failed  (The install encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)  It did not specify what the error was

  • I can't open adobe reader, even after re-installing.

    Everytime I try to open a pdf, i receive an error message saying 'Windows can not find 'C:XXXXXXX.pdf'. Make sure that you typed the name correctly, and then try again'.
    Running Windows 7 Professional. Tried to install both v11 and v10 Adobe Reader - still no success. Tired opening files from C and D drive files with same result.
    When trying to open up adobe reader from program files, i get the same error message. Something is blocking adobe reader from opening.

    This may happen due to messed up registry settings.
    Try uninstalling using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Reboot the system.
    Reinstall latest version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
    YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

  • Adobe Reader/Acrobat Is not Installed

    I get an error on machines on our work network that says Adobe Reader/Acrobat is not installed. However most cases it is installed on the machine and in most cases it turns out to be the 8.1.1 version of Adobe reader. So what we have noticed is that the permissions do not seem to be right with the .pdf file extention. We manually add the users, power users group to the file extention and then we grant them full control over the extention and in most cases that as well will not work. The next step would be to uninstall 8.1.1 Adobe reader and then reboot. Upon the restart we will log on and install the 8.1.2 update. Sometimes this works but then again I have noticed that the users, power users group is not in the .pdf file extention. Then we will add them in and yet the user will still have the same error message. We have fun out of ideas and the other bad scenario is that this is free software and its very difficult to get support for. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

  • Adobe reader X will not install

    before installing adobe reader X, should I uninstall adobe reader 7 ?

    Yes, you should uninstall previous version of Reader before installing new one.

  • Adobe Reader 9 will not install on MacBookPro

    After downloading the proper Adobe Reader 9 for my MacBookPro (Intel processor), I get the message " Adobe Reader 9 cannot be installed on this computer. Make sure your system meets the requirements." Anyone else have the same problem? Please help.
    Suresh

    OK, I just realized the mix up in my earlier posting/s :-(
    The *****.ppc.pkg is the powerpc version which I had downloaded earlier and the ******.i386 is the intel version which is the correct version for my MacBookPro. I use Firefox browser, and at first I thought that since Adobe was not in its list of allowed sites, it was preventing installation. However that is not the case, since the problem persists even after I added Adobe to the list of allowed sites, and even when I downloaded using Safari!
    Mike, yes, I have rebooted a number of times, but have not yet tried to reinstall the OS from the disc. I do not quite understand what you mean by different administrative user; I am the only user. I just downloaded applejack and supposedly it was installed on volume HD, but I do not see it anywhere! Another mystery.

  • Adobe Reader X refuses to install - indexing service filter daemon

    I have closed all applications, but Adobe Reader X refuses to install, saying that something called "indexing service filter daemon" is open.  How do I get around this?

    This is how I got around this install issue:
    During install with the Indexing Service Filter Daemon message still open;
    1) right click on My Computer
    2) select Manage
    3) double click Services and Applications
    4) right click Indexing Service
    5) select pause
    6) in the Adobe X install message window, select Retry
    It will have you reboot after install and it should automatically restart the service that you just paused.  If not, repeat the steps and select Start instead of Pause.
    Hope that helps.

    Hi Raja,
    I can understand your concern & will guide you in the right direction.
    Let me know the version of Adobe Reader, web browser & operating system installed on your computer?

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you're having problems installing/uninstalling air.  Have you tried rebooting to see if that resolves the issue? 
    If it still fails, can you enable MSI logging using the instructions found on the following page and then post the msi log contents for review?

  • Why can't i see documents using adobe reader even though I have the most updated version?

    Why can't I see documents using adobe reader even though I have the most updated version?

    Hi lawalton,
    Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
    I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.

  • One particular plug-in that I am trying to install reports 'an engine with the same name already exists.' However I cannot find it, even using the troubleshooting routines

    Hi,
    I am trying to install a add-on that will enable Google to behave as if I am in the USA. When I try to install the add-on I get a message which says 'An engine with the same name already exists'. However, I can find no evidence of the add-on and I have been through the various troubleshooting routines. Anybody know of a way around this?
    I have looked at the list of installed plugins and cannot see it. So whty does does FireFox think it's there?

    Hey oks10,
    It sounds like the Bing plugin might have been corrupted. I would bet that it's still installed, but not working. Try removing it from the \searchplugins\ folder in your [http://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile profile folder].
    I'd close and restart everything after you are done, then try installing it again.
