Adobe Reader V9.0 will not install on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1

I have Windows Vista Ultimate Build 6001 and tried to install adobe reader V9.0. The download was fine but when I run the program (AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe) it returns the error:
"NOSSO (R) has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
Close program"
So I guess my questions are
1. Is there a version of adobe reader that will install on windows vista ultimate SP1?
or
2. Is there another pdf reader that will work with Vista Ultimate SP1?
Thanks for any and all assistance!!
Mark

I am getting the exact same error:
I have a brand new HP xw8600 systems with 64 bit Vista Ultimate installed.
Via google I found a suggestion to turn on user account control.
I went to control panel > User Account > Turn User Account Control
checked the box and restarted the system. I ran the install as the administrator. It was a minor improvement. Instead of the error coming up immediately like it was, I got the OS confirmation asking if I wanted to install the program. I got the failure right have selecting "yes"
Running out of clues... any help?

I have the Mac OS 10.9.4 I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install. Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

More information would be good.
What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install.
Again, what exactly is happening?
And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.

IPod will not install on Windows Vista, iTunes is fine?

Hello,
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on 2 computers. One computer connects to my 60GB iPod video just fine, while the other looks for drivers and then fails to find any. I get a window that pops up saying "Insert the disc that came with your iPod" after Windows searches for drivers. Because of this, the iPod does not appear in iTunes, nor does it appear in My Computer. I have tried performing a soft reset on the iPod (Menu/Center combo) which did not work. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes to no avail. This is a brand new Windows installation and I just can't figure out why it won't work. iTunes seems to work just fine in all other respects.
Thanks,
Brian

Scroll down to the quote from WickedMX.
Basically, C:\Windows\System32\Driverstore\Repository and look for a folder that starts with usbstor. You will probably have two different versions. Open the folder that is the newest version and then copy the files usbstor.inf and usbstor.PNF. Copy them to the C:\Windows\INF folder. Try installing your device(s) again and it should work like a charm!

Adobe Reader X update will not install

I got Adobe Reader X by downloading it online from this site I believe. I have no discs or anything. But several times it has wanted to install an update. And when it does I'll get Error 1311 Source File Not found data1.cab
So why is this happening? Is it because I used a free download off the site and don't have the program on actual disc? There is troubleshooting tips that say uninstall it and all but is this worth doing. I don't want to get rid of it then have to buy it or something. But I am certain I got it off this site so not sure why it won't let me update?

How does one delete the installer cache files? I couldn't find them in 10.7.2 I IDID find Cache files in the Library, and deleted them all. Still broken.
My 10.1.1 installer from Adobe runs and immediatly stops about 40% of the way through, and then sits there. The last time I started the install before lunch, and after lunch the installer was in the exact same spot, but said it would take an hour and 45 min to install! I'm running OS 10.7.2 on a 2009 MBP.
Update:
OK, I put Adobe Reader 9.4.6 back in my Applications folder. I open it up, and do "check for updates". It says I am up to date, and that there are no new updates.
The 10.1.1 installer I downloaded DIRECTLY by going to Adobe.com and following the links for my Mac. I even deleted the installer once and then redownloaded it just to make sure I had a good copy. This is the screen I get when I run the installer. It gets to this point in about 30 seconds, always between the "r"and "i" in scripts, and the time remaining just keeps going up. HELP!

Adobe Reader 8.0 will not install

I tried many times to install Adobe Reader 8.0, for OS 10.4.8, but even though the "installer" says it is succesful, nothing shows up on the machine except the Adobe install package. Adobe says it works on PowerPC® G3, G4, G5 or Intel® processor with Mac OS X v.10.4.3 or later.
Can I use Adobe Reader on a new iMac, 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?
iMac, 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) purchased Dec 19 2006
iMac, 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) purchased Dec 19 2006

I had the same problem with the intel versioin. Worse, it trashed my old install of 7.05 reader and 5.05 (standard).
I solved the problem by switching to an unmanaged admin user and reinstalling, even though I had admin privileges on the other account

Adobe Reader 9.3 will not install because "getPlus+ (R) has stopped working.

BootCamp will not install in Windows Vista

I installed Windows Vista on my MBP 17" OSX (10.6.4) with no problems. The problem is now when I go to the Vista side, and try to install BootCamp drivers, I get a message saying "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". Does any one know what is wrong? Does my Vista need updating? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

Itunes will not install on windows vista (error message)

I just got an ipod and am new to this kind of device. I tried to download the itunes from the apple ipod start page. The itunes download ok except for the itunes application, in which it says it can't install the itunes application then it ends with "error 50". I would have to attempt to download again to re-read the error message to be exact. Any suggestion will help thanks.

Praise God - I found the solution after hours of work: (1) Uninstall all Apple programs (itunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, .....); (2) Go to "Common Files" and delete all Apple files - this might be difficult for some are locked from you - you may have to change the "Owner" of the file in order to delete it - if that doesn't work "Rename the Apple Follder to something like Apple Old - that's like deleting it. Then download 10.5 from Apple and away you go - yippee.

ITunes 10.7 will not install on Windows Vista

I just got a new iPhone 5, and so I need to update to iTunes 10.7. But, whenever I attempt to install iTunes onto my computer, after completely downloading everything, it starts the install, but after about a minute of this, it stops installing and says, "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually." I have tried to use its suggestion of just downloading iTunes 10.7. It downloads, but whenever I try to install (Welome to iTunes, Add iTunes shortcut to my desktop and Use iTunes as the default player for audio files checked, etc...), the status bar fills (It says Status: Copying Old Files just before it drops to just Status: ) but just sits there, doing nothing. I am also a little unsure of which file I should be trying to use first (there's AppleApplicationSupport.msi, AppleMobileDevieSupport64.msi, iTunes64.msi, and SetupAdmin.exe). I have not tried uninstalling iTunes and completely reinstalling it yet, however, mainly because I have nowhere to store my library in the meantime. I am not doing this as an administrator, but I did try the exact same thing on my administrator account, and it did not work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

To clarify, I already have iTunes 10.6. Also, I just checked back on the iTunes installer (the manual one) and it now says: "iTunes Installer Completed
The installer encountered errors before iTuens could be configured.
Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified.
Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit."

ITunes 7.6 will not install on Windows Vista 32-bit (iPod Service problem)

Basically, my story is near-identical to the one here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1572880&tstart=0
EXCEPT that after trying EVERYTHING rmurtagh did, I STILL had no success. Specifically, when I try to install iTunes, I get the error "Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." and when I try to change anything using services.msc, I get the error, "The system cannot find the file specified." PLEASE HELP!!

when I try to change anything using services.msc, I get the error, "The system cannot find the file specified." PLEASE HELP!!
Are you getting that if you try to manually restart the iPod Service in Services.msc?
If so, do you get an error message number with the message? If so, what number is it?
