Adobe reader won't 'uninstall'

I can't print pdfs or download pdfs on the web since downloading adobe reader 9. The previous version (reader 8) failed to uninstall and I am unable to use 'remove programme' to remove either version of reader. The error message reads, patch cannot be found.
Can anyone offer a solution? I believe I need to uninstall all the adobe files and reinstall afresh but can't do it with add/remove programmes.

Thank you Claudio,
Your suggestion worked perfectly. I am very grateful.

You may want to try running this fix from Microsoft and uninstall all traces of any versions of Reader: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall If you want to reinstall Reader, download its full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

Adobe Reader won't open Tried installing updated Adobe Reader and error came up in the process and told me to contact software manufacturer. Could I uninstall current Adobe Reader and then try installing the current AR? Any ideas?

My Adobe Reader wouldn't download tickets. Tried opening Adobe Reader application but it would not open. I saw my Adobe Reader needed to be updated, so I attempted to install new Adobe Reader. When it came to finalizing, it said there is an error and can't do. Any ideas? I have no functioning Adobe reader. Should I uninstall old Adobe Reader and then try installing the updated AR?

(Had to step away & do things) I can't even open up the Adobe Reader application to uninstall; get message it won't open. And now have more things needing to be downloaded to print. Any ideas on how to open the app, so I can uninstall. I have a MAC OS X 10.9.4 When the installation initially failed I received this message from Adobe, " Adobe Reader Installation Error Package name Adobe Reader xi (11.0.07) Installer: installing abase path/installer: The install failed (The install encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.) It did not specify what the error was

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 work

Hello
I use Windows 7 (64 bit). I've spent a couple of days trying to get Adobe Reader to work. I need version 9.5 or higher in order to fill out an important tax document. When I click on the icon the program will come up for a few seconds and then it disappears by itself. I have repeatedly removed both adobe reader as well as acrobat using both the adober clean up program as well as the windows uninstall program. I have tried re downloading all 3 versions. The same problem continues to happen. I desparately need to find a solution. Thanks.

Hi again
I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to help much - even though I feel like
I've just finished an intensive adobe seminar. So, that said - I'm stuck
again. Thanks to you I got Adobe Reader 11 loaded and was able to fill out
and save the tax form as a pdf file. When I get into the the site to file
the form though I get the following page when I try to open the saved form:
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the
document, your PDF
viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or
Linux® by
visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit
http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
So - I'm sort of back to square one - and, I have until midnight est to get
it figured out. Do you have any ideas?
Take care,
Tina

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.

Adobe reader won't open, even after re-download

adobe reader won't open because of error - NEED PDF READER NOW!!!!!!!!!

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.

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 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 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 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 software won't uninstall

My OS is 32 bit Windows Vista. There are six Adobe programs that won't uninstall from my computer.
When I go to the Windows Control Panel for removing programs and click on a program name, an "uninstall" button is supposed to appear near the top of the Control Panel.
With the following Adobe programs the uninstall button does not appear:
Adobe Bridge 1.0
Adobe Common File Installer
Adobe Help Center 1.0
Adobe Illustrator CS2
Adobe Reader XI
Adobe Stock Photos 1.0
What steps do I need to take in order to uninstall these six programs?

Adobe reader won't open and closes internet when trying to open a pdf

I'm not sure when it started, but for the last 2 weeks every time I try to open a pdf file on the internet it stops and says "internet Explorer has stopped working" and will then close the window. I thought it was just a cable (internet connection) problem since we had been having issues in that area, but now that's fixed and I still cannot open a pdf on the internet. I uninstallled and restarted and re-installled Adobe Reader and I can't even open Adobe Reader much less a pdf from the internet. Please help! I've also tried installing Safari and it has the same results. I'm sure it has to do with my Reader, but I just don't know how to fix it.

I finally uninstalled Adobe Reader and found a free pdf reader program. At least now I can save the file I want to look at and can
open it with the other program. Thanks for all your suggestions and help. I learned a lot of new things. Sorry Adobe... your loss
