Adobe Reader Update Fails

What's the correct procedure for updating Adobe Reader from 9.1.0.163 to Version 9.1.3?
Upon attempting this update twice, an error message pops up that states,
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
Yet, the installed Version which I just got yesterday, August 5, 2009, is Version 9.1.0.163 and the Patch I downloaded today is AdbeRdrUpd913_all_incr.msp.
NOTE: The first time I installed Version 9.1.0.163, Adobe placed the files in a folder labled Reader 9.0; I then uninstalled Adobe Reader, Created a folder labled Reader 9.1 and re-installed 9.1.0.163 into that folder.

Try doing the Update from the HELP TAB in the Reader program window...
That was the only way it worked for me...
If you try to update from the Pop Up telling you Available Updates it does not work...
Unsure why but I could only update thru the Reader Program window only..

Adobe Reader Updates Fail - Always. Why?

No Adobe Reader has ever updated successfully on any computer I have ever owned. Other parties' product updates invariably succeed. To update, I must completely uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install from scratch. I have this problem only with this product. Moreover, Adobe Reader updates have never worked on any computer I have ever owned, bar none.
Why just Adobe Reader?

Are you talking about updates or upgrades. Upgrades require the download of the new version, typically uninstall of the old version, and then the install of the new version. If updates, just what errors are you getting? Just saying it does not work does not help us help you. You might also ask in the Reader forum.

How can I script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#?

I would like to script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#, are there any Adobe API calls I use to do this. There are several different version that I support and auto update is not an option. I do updates at a specific time of the month. I would like to write a script that would download and install the update for the currently installed version of Adobe Reader (32 or 64 bit) for the version of the OS (32 or 64bit). I can detect the OS version and the Adobe version. I can download updates but I do not want to hard code anything

Sabian is correct.
Most admins download the updates from the ftp site and push via AIP, GPO, SCCM, or some other method whenever it makes sense for them.

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update? My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
Select "Properties"
Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

Bug in all Adobe Reader Updates.

Recently i have take notice of a bug in all the updates i get of Adobe Reader.
When i first installed Adobe Reader i think i can remember choosing not to create a desktop shortcut.
But whenever Adobe Reader updates, a desktop shortcut is created!
Now, as i have chosen not to have the shortcut, the fact that one is created with every single update, must clearly be a bug.
None of my other applications does this.
Is it possible with a fix? or does Adobe go the way of so many other software developers does? "It's not a bug, It's a feature!"
(bah! this was not supposed to be marked as a question, just a bit of a rant, but i'm new to the forums, so i didn't notice the option)

Thank you for the correction.
Been a while since i did a proper install of Reader. Mostly just do silent push install on our clients.
Still don't think it is correct of the bug/update to create a desktop shortcut though...
If someone want the desktop shortcut, they most likely will have it on the desktop allready, and those who doesn't have it on the desktop, are those who have removed it, and thus most likely doesn't want it back.
So not adding the desktop shortcut would actually shrink the size of the update. Not by much, but that is irrelevant.
It's a useless thing, that doesn't need to be there.

Adobe CS5 Updates fails !!! There was an error downloading this update HELP

Adobe CS5 Updates fails !!! There was an error downloading this update HELP (Windows)

I have the same problem, but I'm on a mac 10.9. I have 2 folders inside the Adobe Patch folder inside the Adobe folder. The items have a bunch of letters and numbers.
I've attempted 2 downloads, each going through almost the whole process and stopping about 90% saying unable to install, fix the problems listed below (there was an error downloading this update, please quit and try again later). When I click on the consumer support for further assistance, it takes me to an Adobe page that says “This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another” . I have CS4 design premium, CS5 design standard, and Acrobat Professional installed.
Thanks

Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 Broke my mouse magnifier. I uninstalled but now I get prompts to install. How do I get rid of the prompts?

My gawd this site is the most ridiculously difficult site I've ever seen. Round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows. Will someone please tell me how to make the prompt for Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 go away?? It already shows that number was d/l'd in Sept. 2014. I d/l'd it the other day and it broke the magnifier on my microsoft 5000 mouse. I use that a LOT. I can't lose it. I uninstalled the update and now I get prompts continuously. What to do?

Thank you I will try that. Why am I being prompted to d/l an old update? I didn't even know there was a more recent one.

Why won't my adobe reader update work right? it won't take my password

My adobe reader update keeps flashing but every time i click on it and put in my password it hangs up at 97%..I tried it several times:))

I have been looking at this most of the day. What I found was any time "TOOLS" or one of the online buttons are clicked or the toolbar on the right that allows you to convert a pdf to word or digitally sign is open reader closes. If you can get that to stay closed reader will open. And again no explanation. No event log. Nothing. If the user is an admin it might work but for a standard user is just closes.

Adobe Reader Updater - Error 1402. Could not open key:

Adobe Reader Updater, error 1402, could not open key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Opt
I might have accidently discontinue. Can any body help me????

Hi,
It looks like you do not have access to the registry key mentioned i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run\Optional Components\IMAIL.
This might be due to the fact that you may not be added to the Administrators group or the registry key has been denied access explicitly to a group that you may be part of.
People in my network setup were facing the same issue, and we fixed the same using Microsoft's "subinacl" tool. You can follow the below mentioned steps to rectify your issue as well:
1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> Run and type "cmd" and click OK)
4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
ii. subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Opti onalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
You should see some processes happening on your screen. After the process ends, retry the update operation you were originally trying to perform. Hopefully, it should succeed now.
