Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater

Hello,
I have a user who has reported Adobe Reader was not installed on his PC, which we complete via GPO as default for all our computers, and has never been an issue (WinXP and Win7 (x64) ).  When attempting to install the reader manually, I received "Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater"  This is a Win7 box.  It comes with IE 8!  Can anyone point me to the registry path the installer is looking for to determine the version of IE?  I've checked HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and verified both "Version" and "W2kVersion" read 8.0.7601.17514.
I realize Reader X is available.  We're not ready to deploy it yet.  So any suggestion other than simply "install Reader X"  is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.

I know I'm considerably late to the reply here, but I had the same issue with a Reader X install done via GPO.  This may be relavent info for the future, and may work for Reader 9 as well
I read that someone had tried running the command line uninstall for an older version of reader, as it seemed to have not been removed completely.  I threw together a batch file to attempt to remove all the reader installs we had available along with the font packs.  Some of the font packs won't remove unless reader is present, so it re-installs the latest reader, removes the font packs again (to get whatever it missed) then reloads the font packs.
So far this approach is 1 for 1.  Hopefully it helps out if you still need it.

  • "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater"

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater is the error that jumps up when I try installing it. Currently this system is running Internet Explorer 7 which is installed at it's default location. Any clues what can have gone wrong?
    Version 7.0.5730.13
    Build 75730
    Program path C:\Program\Internet Explorer (Swedish computer)
    Language Engelska (USA)

    I came upon this post after receiving this error message when trying to install Acrobat 9. In my case, we deploy Acrobat from an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using Group Policy. I believe the user at this computer pulled the plug while the group policy deployment was taking place. I got the error when trying to install the program manually afterwards.
    I was able to rectify the issue by running msiexec.exe against the MSI in the AIP with the /x switch, performing an uninstall:
    msiexec /x \\server\deploy\AcrobatStandard9\acrostan.msi
    (The program was not showing up in Add/Remove programs, otherwise I would have tried uninstalling from there.) After that, the install proceeded successfully.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Is there a known compatibilty issue with Adobe Reader 9.2.0 and Internet Explorer 11?

    My internet explorer was updated to version 11 and since I cannot open PDFs in the browser.  I have tried various solutions, making sure the Axtive X filter was turned off and that the "Display PDF in browser" box is checked in both Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro Ver. 9.5.5.  I don't think Acrobat 9 is supported any longer, but I'm not sure if this is a contributing factor.  I work in an office and seem to be the only person having this issue.  Others that have Internet Explorer 11 have Adobe version XI and those that have Internet Explorer 10 have Adobe version 9.   Now that I have IE 11 do I need to upgrade Abobe to version X or XI?

    Hello,
    I'm checking the accessibility of my web application in case of XFA forms generated from Lifecycle Server ES.

    Thanks,

    If you want to open the PDF in the browser you have to explicitely set the content type to "application/pdf", if you use "application/octet-stream" you'll always get the download box and when you choose to open from this box the reader will be used because the reader is configured to open PDF documents in the windows filetypes settings.

  • Adobe Reader 9.x & 8.x "requires Internet Explorer 6"

    Friends PC in Italy had Reader 9.0 (Italian) installed and working fine. It has had Reader in various versions Italian & English over the last 5 years with no problems.
    Tried to update it to latest/securist version but got an error message that the update had failed in Italian (which I don't read)..
    Decided to uninstall and reinstall the latest version instead.
    Uninstall went through fine via control panel with no errors.
    Installing the 9.1.x Italian or English for XP SP3 (and also the 8.x.x) all fail every time with, the English version error message saying (and the Italian also) every time at c99% of the Nosso Adobe download manager:
    "Adobe Reader 9.1 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater. Please visit www.microsoft.com to upgrade Internet Explorer."
    XP is XP Pro SP3 (Italian)
    MS IE about says 7.0.5730.13
    Belarc advisor reports Microsoft Corporation - Internet Explorer Version 7.00.6000.16850
    Have followed the MS KB 917964 tips to (a) reset IE7 and (b) Reinstall IE7 with no change in Adobe Reader symptoms = stuck without Reader which is not a happy place to be.
    HELP anyone ?
    MK

    Thanks, MK. I was hoping the fix would be as simple as modifying an entry in the registry but everything seems to be in the proper order this far. I have seen a resolution to this issue which involved using a program named Orca to modify the MSI installer package so that it foregoes checking for IE but that should be totally un-necessary and it a fairly technical approach. I can provide you those directions if you are interested but I'd rather have you check a few others things first to see if we can actually get to the root of the issue.
    First, let's try running a few Microsoft tools to hopefully resolve any errant registry or disk issues:
    Cleanup temporary files:
    1. Open My Computer
    2. Right-click the C:\ drive > click Properties
    3. Click Disk Cleanup > place a checkmark in all options except "Compress Old Files" > click OK
    Repair file system issues:
    1. Open My Computer
    2. Right-click the C:\ drive > click Properties
    3. Click the Tools tab > click Check Disk
    4. Place a checkmark in "Automatically fix file system errors"
    Repair registry:
    1. Disable any anti-virus software that may be installed
    2. Go to: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/center/whatsnew.htm
    3. Click Full Service Scan
    4. Install any necessary plugins when prompted
    5. Run the complete scan when prompted and allow it to fix any issues it finds
    Since we are dealing with an Italian version of the OS, the site may redirect to the Italian version of the site (hopefully one exists). The OneCare Live safety scanner is meant to be a security tool for removing malware (not great at that part of its job) but it also includes a registry repair tool that has resolved many odd registry issues I have encountered since finding the tool.
    Finally, if none of the above fixes the issue, Adobe has a tool named CS3Cleaner which removes all traces of the Adobe SC3 suite. In doing so, it has proven to also remove most, if not all traces of ANYTHING Adobe. Uninstall all Adobe products prior to using this tool and see if it doesn't clean up any miscreant traces of the corrupted file and/or registry that may be causing the issue.
    CS3Cleaner: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    My bag of tricks is getting thinner so if this doesn't fix the issue, I will have to dig deep to see what else I can come up with.
    Best of success!

  • "Requires Internet Explorer 6.0" error message

    I'm installing Acrobat 9 Standard on Windows XP.
    The installation begins and then quickly returns an error message saying the installation requires Internet Explorer 6.0.
    I'm already running IE 6.0 -- 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2
    What's wrong?!

    I'm having the same issue. Our environment is Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8. Deploying with AD or manual install give the same error message. The registry and IE8 both report the correct version.

  • Can I use a HP printer that requires Internet explorer?

    Can I use a HP printer that says it requires Internet Explorer with my Firefox Web browser?

    Are you talking about the HP Smart Web Printing program and Toolbar for Firefox?
    That application adds a few features to Firefox, but it won't stop the printer itself from working with Firefox. My advice is to download the latest version of that program from the HP website, and you'll probably find that the latest version of that application will work with Firefox 3.6.x versions.
    IMO, HP is lax about updating that application when Mozilla releases a new major version of Firefox, thus inconveniences their users unnecessarily for a few months while they take their time making an updated version - work they should have been doing when the new version of Firefox was being tested in the Release Candidate phase.

  • Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.

    Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.  But the page that I need keeps telling me that Adobe Flash Player still needs to be installed.  I've downloaded AFP several times, and I see it installed correctly on my mac, but the same error message keeps coming up.  All of the support that I see is either for mac or for Internet Explorer, but not for both and not for the version of Internet Explorer that I am using.  Please help.  Thank you.

    Wow, IE for Mac is pretty old.  What Mac OS are you using?  I'm 99% sure you're going to need an older version of the Player, but I'll need to know the OS version to figure out which one.

  • Solutionbank requires internet explorer v6 or higher

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 which uses Internet Explorer 11 and have been unable to use a CD-ROM (supplied in a textbook I bought) livetext program on which there are stored answers. I desperately need to use
    this as I have exams in about 2 months and am severely stressed so this is not helping at all since this is the only way I can check that I am doing my work correctly.
    On my old computer with Windows Vista I was able to open the program successfully but with this version I am unable to. I have tried Mozilla, Firefox and Google Chrome but they too do not work and anyway I prefer to use Internet Explorer.
    The program is an "Application (.exe)". Whenever I press the link to the livetext program (known as solutionbank) a message appears
    "solutionbank requires internet explorer v6 or higher".
    I have checked the Microsoft forums for help but no one seems to know anything about the issue.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    probably, this application software is performing a check of the browser version (using some custom/internal method known only to the software developer) and it doesn't like what IE11 has to say.
    Check the website or support information for this software, they may have a patch or update for it, to allow it to correctly recognise IE11.
    Because it's an application, and not a website, I can't see a way to get IE11 to tell a version lie, (although you might be able to do so if you try modifying the UA string in your browser).

  • Adobe Flash Player not working in Internet Explorer 9

    I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (version 11.7.700.169) and Adobe Flash Player stopped working in Internet Explorer 9. ActiveX filtering is disabled and the Adobe Flash Player add-on is enabled in IE 9. When I try to load the Web page for www.youtube.com, I get a blank screen. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox work fine - both can display the YouTube Web page. Is there a fix for this?
