Adobe reader won't install

I have downloaded the install program on my MAC.
I run the program.  It keeps freezing at 40%
I have confirmed that java flash in enabled.  I have tried with both a safari and a chrome download.  I have researched and discovered that I should be prompted to shut down my explorer.  I wasn't prompted, so I did it on my own and the install made it to 44% both times I tried.  I Have deleted, re downloaded, rebooted my machine. 
I can not get my download past 44% (typically 40%)
Thanks for your help.

I had a similar problem although it was 85% of the way through the install before I got a message saying there was a problem and could not finish install. (I had previously uninstalled an earlier version of Reader and was attempting to install the latest version.) I finally listened to my wife and deleted the download from my download folder, rebooted the computer, downloaded the Reader again from Adobe and the install did the job. (I still have another problem that is the subject of another post but that is not relevant to this problem.) I am running OSX 10.9.4 on an iMac.

  • Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

    Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

    missyzz,
    which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
    To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

  • Adobe Reader won't install in any of the website-given ways. How can I fix this?

    I've been trying to install Adobe Reader 11.0 on my Windows 8 computer for about an hour now. When I download the regular installer, the first thing my PC does is give a security warning. Strange already, but the website mentioned this could happen, so I said "download anyway". Then when I execute the installler file, I get a small error window titled "Host" which tells me "the certificate could not be verified". The only thing I can do is press "OK", which makes it go away, but the installer still does nothing, of course.
    So I tried the other "direct" download which is given as a possible solution. The AdbeRdr11000 file I get from that downloads without any security issues.
    When I execute it, it asks me if I give this installer permission to run. I say "yes", the window dissapears and then nothing happens. At all. I can wait all I want, it's like I never clicked anything to begin with.
    So how can I fix this. I really feel like downloading such a widespread product shouldn't be so difficult.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When I follow your link, after filling out the information (operating system, language), I still can only choose for version 11,0.
    This is the same version the "direct" download gives me (the one that doesn't do anything after executing).

  • Adobe Reader won't install on my PC

    I use windows xp sp2 and i tried installing adobe reader a few times but it didnt work. The info id it gave me was: 6702.844.234.2.20052
    please help ><" !
    thanks !

    Try using this installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe
    P.S. you know that XP-SP2 is no longer a supported OS?

  • Adobe Reader Won't Download On Windows 7

    Worked ok on Vista, After
    installing Windows 7 (Clean & Install) Adobe Reader won't install on windows 7, goes through the process says 100% installation complete, then nothing. Any ideas.

    I havent faced this issue as such on my WIN 7 OS. Worked fine for me.
    You might be able to find the cause behind the problem by creating the error log for the installer, using the following commandline switch:
    AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe /l
    the "\l" switch will create an error log (if any) in the temp directory. (%temp% \ BootStrap.log)
    If you can share the log details, it may help in deciphering what exactly is the root cause behind your problem.

  • Adobe Reader won't open

    just posted a long question (1st time on this forum) & been sent here after creating a username - do I really need to re-type everything all over again or can someone there see it?
    just in case.....
    Adobe Reader won't open - I eventually get a message saying there is no default mail client & telling me to run Outlook & set it as the default mail client (I'm not going to do that).  I then get a message saying that Adobe is not responding.  Uninstalled & re-installed & problem persists.

    Since you mention Outlook, I assume that you are on Windows.  Here are some things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

    There are multiple problems with these forums, and unfortunately things like that happen all the time (to all of us).

  • Adobe Reader won't start automatically

    I've downloaded Adobe Reader to my Windows8 system,, but when I try to open a pdf file fom on-line it asks me which App I want to use, but Reader isn't listed as a choice.  When I clik look for other Apps on computer, I can't find Reader anywhere (not in programs, documents, etc).  It will not start automatically.  The only way I can't make it work is by Saving the pdf file, then going to my graphic start page and cliking the Adobe reader icon which has been there (and only there) since it was downloaded.  It's really time consuming and I have a lot of psf files I have to go back and delte from my downloads

    the App version self-loaded and it worked initially whenever I tried to open a pdf file, but this is a new touchscreen Acer and I'm used to having actual programs, not Apps and I don't quite understand it yet...Of course like everything else with Windows 8, most thing don't work the way they used to  after you do any updates.   I'd love to go back to Windows 7, or even XP.  I got this for Christmas and so far (according to it's own software program), it's shut down a total of 418 times, the majority of causes had to do with Explorer.

  • Adobe reader won't let me read PDF

    Adobe reader won't let me read PDFs until I sign the end agreement which doesn't show up in black under the sign area.

    Sorry, I don't understand that...
    After you install or update Adobe Reader, you have to accept the end user license agreement by clicking on the Agree Accept button; is that what you mean?

  • Adobe Reader won't load on my iMac.

    I can't get Reader to open on my my iMac. I am using system 10.5.8, and every time I download what I think is a newer version of Reader, I get a tiny splash screen that says, “an internal error has occurred.” What version of  Reader should I be using?

    Hi,  and thanks for your very prompt reply to my cry for help.
    Yes,  I have used Reader for ages. But about the last couple of upgrades
    have proven totally unopenable on my Mac.
    I get the error message when Reader is trying to open. After I dismiss the
    error message, I then get the message that Reader has unaccountably quit.
    How do I go about using repair disk utility?

    Has Reader ever worked on your machine? You can run the newest version which
    is 9.3.
    At what point do you get the error? During the download, the install or when
    you try and open it after installing it?
    Have you ran the repair disk utility?

  • Adobe Reader won't save forms under Mavericks.

    After installing Mavericks on a Mac, discovered that Adobe Reader won't save forms or e-mail them with the filled-in information. DOes anyone know a fix? Does anyone know if this is also true for Acrobat?

    The reason is Adobe has not updated there software yet to play well with Mavericks. The fault is of course with the Adobe Software. I suggest you go to there web site and see if they have a fix yet for there software, If not all you can do is continue to check back with them or get on there fourms and see what others have to say about this same issue.

  • Adobe AIR won't install - Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    "Sorry, an error has occurred.
    An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
    Well, I asked myself and verified that I am allowed to install any programs I wish to at will.
    I even toyed with adding extra permissions for the .exe and shortcut [see below], to no avail.
    I also checked your Adobe AIR installation troubleshooter section before posting. Unfortunately, none of the solutions 100% applied to my circumstances or OS, yet I tried a few anyway and had it confirmed by a Windows dialogue that I need not have bothered as it assured me that they weren't applicable in my case.
    I found another thread like mine where somebody suggested creating a shortcut with an additional -uninstall parameter added to the .exe path. It didn't work.
    I used Microsoft's Installation Cleanup Utility and that didn't work to "un-confuse" the installer either.
    Do you have any more suggestions?
    Adobe AIR came with the HTC Sync program for my phone, which appears to have dependencies on it where it won't completely work without it.
    Thanks in advance for any input.
    ps. I created a new thread because I couldn't find the "reply" button on a similarly unresolved thread regarding Adobe AIR installation issues on Windows 7.

    I would like to say thanks to artrose54 and to playswithtech for their thoughtful responses to my problem. I finally figured out which number I was to delete, and then, having made a copy of the number in notepad, deleted it. Upon a restart to my computer I then was able to download adobe air 2.7. I found that I still could not download the shutterfly express uploader, however; so I applied the same approach. I went looking for the number in the registry that corresponded to the uploader. I deleted it; restarted the computer; returned to shutterfly; and then was able to download the express uploader. I am sure I will find other uses for Adobe Air in the future.

    Hi everyone,
    Here is the fix that worked for me,
    You need to go to start run and type in regedit
    now press ctrl+f for find and type in "adobe air" without the quotes then click find next
    the first entry it finds is the one I deleted, it is a long number on left side of screen that is greyed just right click and delete it
    I then rebooted the computer and ran adobe air installation
    and it worked with out a problem
    The adobe air log file really doesn't tell u anything but where it tried to find the setup.msi file
    but it doesn't exist because of the registry entry that needs to be deleted which is what causes the error
    If u r not sure of editing the registry then maybe you know someone that can help you
    I hope this helps you out it worked for me

  • Adobe reader won't open on iPad after recent update

    After most recent update, adobe reader won't open on my iPad. I have lots of docs that I need to get to. Please help.

    This forum is probably the best you can do. We're now on the weekend, and Adobe engineers don't work 24/7. When they return on Monday and see the reports, they'll work to fix it. The update will need to be submitted to Apple and then approved for an update.
    Note that there are other apps on the App Store which can read PDFs.
