Adobe reader installer does nothing windows 8 any ideas?

trying to install the latest reader on a windows 8 netbook. (I hate the default W8 reader) Download works fine. Start the installer and get the usual user permission dialogue so I click to go ahead. I hear some short hard drive use then it disappears into the sunset. I check cntrl Alt Delete and sure enough the installer is shown there, using no resources.
I'm imagining that perhaps a dialogue box should be appearing asking me to click next or whatever so perhaps it's waiting for a response from me. But I see no box on the screen or on the taskbar so there is a stalemate. At least that is what I am presuming.
Seems like I may have to abandon this but don't understand why it is such a hassle. Any ideas?

Try the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Adobe Reader Installer does not work

    I am trying to install Adobe reader on Windows 8. I downloaded Adobe Reader the Clicked the downloaded file and gave the permission. Then the Adobe Reader Installer window will show up but it's empty and has nothing on it. When I close it won't close either. I have to use windows task manger to close it. I tried to download it with another browser but still getting the same problem. I made sure that flash plug-in is working too. I used the direct link. Still can not install it.

    Use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Adobe Reader Installation Issues in Windows 8

    Hi,
    I am trying to download the latest Adobe Reader release. The problem is that it keeps getting disrupted during install. I can't figure out why this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this issue while running the Windows 8 OS? I've been experiencing many issues trying to download executable setup files in Windows 8. Does anyone have a good recommendation on how I can successfully resolve this issue?
    Thank you,
    Cody

  • Adobe Reader Installer Grayed Out

    Hi there,
    I've been working on trying to install Adobe Reader XI for the past 3-4 hours to no avail. No matter how many times I reinstall Flash to the latest version, restart my computer, or try installing in a different browser, I inevitably get this screen while trying to use the installer helper (With "Adobe Reader Installer" as the window title instead of "Adobe Flash Player Installer"):
    Imgur
    It's been an incredibly frustrating 3-4 hours, and I really don't know what else to do. I don't understand why this basic plugin is so hard to install. Currently, I'm running Windows 7 Home edition. Any ideas?

    This same problem is posted several times a day, and the answer is always the same: use the offline installers:
    Adobe Reader
    Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
    Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

    I have tried EVERY suggestion Adobe has made and no matter what, I get the black "Adobe Reader Installer" screen EVERY TIME!!  Any suggestions to help me overcome this problem would be appreciated.  BTW:  I have a Windows 7 Home OS.  I prefer FireFox.  I have successfully downloaded Adobe Reader using all the major browsers, however it does NOT matter, I am NOT able to actually install Adobe Reader, every time all I get is the black pop-up "Adobe Reader Installer" screen!!!

    PS.... I had a previous version on my computer that needed to be updated.... so I uninstalled it because I was having trouble installing the new version.... so even that did not help!!

  • Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out?

    Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out at 64 percent on Windows XP?
    I am currently running version 9.5.2.
    Does anyone have a solution please.

    Hi,
    This "timeout at 64%" issue has been reported more than a few times  here.
    You can try direct download from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    If you can dedicate some time and help to investigate the issue, here is what I would ask:
    Before trying the link I have provided, can you please enable verbose MSI logging and try to install Reader the way you did originally - I assume that you used Adobe.com, right?
    If it fails again at 64%, please find the latest MSIxxxxx.log file in the Temp folder and send it to me.
    To enable Windows Installer logging
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300
    ...open the registry with Regedit.exe and create the following path and keys: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
    Reg_SZ: Logging
    Value: voicewarmupx
    The Temp folder on Windows XP is
    C:\Documents and Settings\[YourUserName]\Local Settings\Temp

  • I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe application error . . . . I now cannot open any PDF's. Adobe seems to be unresponsive.

    I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe
    I now cannot open any PDF's and Adobe seems unresponsive. I have tried to follow a step by step guide on how to fix this but Adobe won't stay open long enough for me to complete the steps. When I open Adobe it stays open for a matter of seconds then minimises to the task bar and when I click on it again I can't do anything with it and have to close it via task manager
    Please help!?

    Disabling Protected Mode should fix the problem.  But since you cannot even open Adobe Reader by itself, you need to do it via the Windows registry.  If you tell me your installed Reader version, I can give you a registry script to do that.

  • Adobe Reader X does not launch

    Hello,
    Frequently, Adobe Reader X does not start on my Windows 7 computer.
    I have tried the following methods of access:
    Desktop link
    Start > All Program > Adobe Reader X
    Run > C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
    Environmental specs:
    Computer: ASUS laptop
    OS: Windows 7, fully updated as of 2/5/12
    RAM: 8 gigs
    Processor: Intel i5, second gen
    Observations:
    Subsequent attempts to launch Adobe Reader X add another "AcroRd.exe *32" image to the "Processes" tab in Windows Task Manager (the count of these images can build up very high).
    These same attempts fail to add an "Adobe Reader X" task in the "Applications" tab of Task Manager.
    The CPU and Memory were only at 25% of their capacities during the last occurrence.
    [Failed] attempts taken to fix problem:
    Repair install
    Complete uninstall / reinstall
    Workaround:
    As of now, the only workaround I have found is to restart my computer. If I am lucky, Adobe Reader X will open after booting. Otherwise, I just have to keep restarting until it works.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Would it be possible for you to:
    1. Temporarily disable the antivirus program and try launching Reader again.
    2. Try launching Reader by right clicking on the shortcut and selecting "Run as Administrator"
    If all the above steps produce negative results, please check the Event Logs on your machine (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Evenet Viewer > Windows Logs > Application) and see if you are seeing any error related to Adobe Reader.
    Also, could you let me know if launching Adobe Reader produces any error of sorts, or does it simply not launch inspite of a process being spawned.

  • Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    I am using Mac OSX 10.10.1 (memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, graphics Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB)
    and my version of Photoshop is CC.
    I ran into  the same problem: I am able to place and view Blur Gallery pins but the adjustment wheel or outer control arounf the pin that allows you to tweak the blur value disappeared after being initially available. Additionally, the placed pin or pins appear to flicker on screen (while in blur gallery mode) until committing the change with the OK button. I have tried restarting both the computer and Photoshop, as well as what some other users have suggested such as View>Show>Edit pins turned on. Nothing has helped so far. I am still able to adjust the blur amount  from the Blur Tools slider. thank you.

  • Adobe Reader X closes when I press any key in the keyboard.

    Hello,
    I have recently updated my windows from xp to 7 and installed the latest version of adobe reader. Then I encountered a problem, after some time using my PC, Adobe Reader would close whenever I touched any key in my keyboard, but not on my mouse, so I could only view pdf files by moving around using the mouse, and loss funcionalities like searching for a word in the document, or saving it with a different name. The only way to solve this problem was to restart my PC, and then everything would be allright for a while, then the problem happened again. I uninstalled and installed Adobe again, however this problem persists, so I'm seeking help here.
    There is another thread with the same problem here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/901383, however it's dead and no solution is presented.
    Any help would be great, regards from Chle.

    I answer myself, solution is here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3806894#3806894, it took me a while to find it though.
