Adobe reader updater is ready to install but won't -- need help

adobe reader  updater is ready to install but gets stuck on step 2 -- need help

It's OK.  I finally got Reader XI installed.  But once installed, the program would then lock up and show an error message whenever I tried  to open any of my existing PDF docs.  So I finally just gave up and deleted Reader XI from my system.  Fortunately, my existing version of Reader seems to work just fine.  Maybe I'll try again later after Adobe has worked out the kinks with Reader XI.  But thanks anyway for responding--no further help needed now.  I'm out.

    Adobe Reader Updater is ready to install, but won't install -- what is the problem?

    what is the problem?
    Well, you're not telling us anything, that's the problem. No offense, but really, just saying that something doesn't work is not gonna yield any answers that would help. We wil lat least need a tiny bit of info about your system - operating system, possibly hardware specs, definitely info about security tools and otehr Adobe software...

  • Why won't my downloaded programs run?  I have downloaded Java and a Cardo Scala bluetooth updater, they downloaded, and installed but won't run or be recognized/detected by the respective websites.

    I have recently downloaded an "updater" program for my Cardo Scala bluetooth helmet headset and the most recent Java update for OS X 10.6.8  Both times the download was sucessful, when the installer ran, it said it was installed successfully BUT...in both cases it doesn't appear to run.  Both respective websites don't recognize it is loaded on my MacBook Pro.  Am I missing an installation step or have a setting wrong??

    OK so here we go I installed windows again and everything seems to be working as normal so I put the disc in and I took screen shots but it won't load them for some reason but anyways here it is. These are the files and what happens when I click on them
    Audio file     audio files always able to access
    Video file     same as audio
    xSprocket     several worksheets and things like that
    xtras          more program files
    autorun      when I click on it saws notepad is too small I need a bigger editor
    readme      system requirements
    TN_active teach file     when opened on the mac side it says its a powerpc product it won't open and on the windows side it switches to mac and opens stuffit expander (the compression thing I told you about) and then creates a file with nothing in it
    TN_active teach application when I open it on windows it says its not a valid win32 application and on mac side it switches to windows and says the same thing
    the link you posted BobTheFisherman was very helpful except for the fact that I need to install it first but I tried anyways and the indicated files had not been made yet.
    In the end though I've come to the conclusion that it is not a Parallels or mac problem but simply one of the software I'm going to look for other windows programs to test how they work though just to prove my hypothesis I thank both of you for your efforts on helping me.

  • Adobe Reader registry keys gone when upgrading to 9.1; Need help finding

    I had a couple of registry values disappear after the install of 9.1
    Disable JavaScriopt in Adobe:
    HKCU\Software\adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs  (I can no longer find this key)
    "bEnableJS"dword:00000000
    Disable the displaying of pdf documents in web browser
    HKCU\Software\adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals (I can no longer find this key)
    "BrowserIntergration"=dword0000000
    I am fully aware of finding the options that turn on/off the options above through the adobe  edit > preferences> Javascript and Internet options.  However I want to make a script that makes these changes. I no longer know the path to these key values.
    I tried a file comparison between current and and modified registry to see if I could pin-point those paths I mentioned above.  They do not exist to my knowledge unless Adobe renamed the keys.
    Has anyone else ran into the same problem?

    Strange, not showing up in 9.1.0.  Guess I need to update to 9.1.1 first and see...
    Thanks

  • Adobe Reader Updater Pop Ups on Mac are Daily & Annoying!

    My Adobe Reader Updater Preferences are set to null - no reminders needed. YET, I get these pop ups reminding me that another update is ready. Daily! It interrupts my work, as on a Mac I see two icons jumping up and down in the apps bin until I respond. VERY DISRUPTIVE, Adobe! Stop it! Someone please tell me how to address these ridiculous, voluminous update pop ups. Thank you so much for your assistance.

    Your Reader app needs to be updated.
    Download the offline installer: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Save it, but don't run it yet.
    Go to: Mac HD/Applications
    Trash the Reader 11 Application from there
    Go to: MacHD/library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the AdobePDFviewer.plugin from there
    Trash the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin also
    Empty the trash
    Mount the DMG and run the installer to reinstall Reader
    When it finishes, reboot and open Reader from the Applications folder
    Accept the License Agreement and then close Reader

  • I have an Adobe Reader Updater, but am afraid to install becuase it is in German

    From where did you get that "updater"?  What is its name?  What is your operating system?  What is your Reader version?

  • 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.

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • I get an error 1303 when I try to install Adobe reader update.

    I have tried three times ti download and install the Adobe Reader Update. It gets to 97% installed and then I get error 1303. I checked the troubleshooter but it hasn't got solutions for Windows 7 Home 64 bit O/S's. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Without the information in the error message I am unable to help you.
    One question: did you run the installer as an Administrator user?

  • Error Message reads: "Adobe Acrobat Updater Certificate failed to install."

    I am unable to make any updates to my Adobe programs (including creative suite CS3). Everytime I try, I type in my password, but I always get the same error message: Adobe Acrobat Updater Certificate failed to install.
    I believe this is happening because I actually inherited my Adobe programs, including the MacBook Pro the programs are installed on. The owner used to be a relative who, sadly, passed away. I thought I had changed everything to be under my name as the owner, but having never done it before it's possible I missed something? Perhaps my relative's name is still recognized as the owner?
    Please help as this is wreaking havoc in many "little" ways...
    Thanks.

    Had the same problem. Found two updaters on the computer. Go to "applications/utilities/adobe utilities". Threw away the folder "Adobe Updater5". Ran the "Adobe Updater6/Adobe Updater.app". Problem gone.

  • I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.07) and installed it. Message said install successful. But APEX learning software does a check to see if my system has Adobe Reader and it says I still need to install it. What's up? This has happened

    I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.07) and installed it. Message said install successful. But APEX learning software does a check to see if my system has Adobe Reader and it says I still need to install it. What's up? This has happened to me numerous times throughout the years. I need to get to the bottom of this problem. Thanks for your help.

    You still don't give us the message you are receiving.  My guess: you are trying to open a PDF in a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

    Hello,
    My Adobe CS5 keeps letting me know updates are ready to install, attempts to install, then always tells me.." error in the downloading..."Please!...tell me what to do to get these updates?...I've been trying(Adobe has been trying) for 3 months to get this done.  What if I uninstall everything and try to reinstall again? I uninstalled the program from the old computer when I got a new computer. Had no problems with that.I've run out of places to look for help. Just want to keep my stuff current.
    New computer has Windows 8.1 on it.
