Adobe reader X installation breaks down

I am using MAC OS X 10,7 and I want to install adobe reader X, at the end of the installation process it breaks continiously down.
I have no idea how to prevent this or what to change or delete to restart the procedure.

Where are you installing from? What do you mean by "breaks down"? Any error messages?
Have you tried the install from the FTP site at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1000_en_US.dmg ?

Adobe Reader 9 installation freezes computer

upon running the installation for adobe reader 9, setup gets to 99.90 percent, then a new window comes up, similar to the installation window. Estimated time remaining gets to 9 seconds, then the installation freezes, and so does everything else. A cold reboot is required...
I'm currently using foxit reader to read PDFs (Also, programs that print to PDF files cause a similar freeze.
Computer details:
Vista 32 bit Home premium.
3gb ram
300+gb hard disk space more than 50gb free
Dell inspiron 530 desktop
Spyware doctor - Avira antivir - and Threatfire installed
Interestingly enough, this is being typed in an open firefox window as the installer is frozen, along with the desktop and taskbar.
Additional details:
Reader (at that time version 8)
Along with PDFcreator both worked perfectly on my system
After reinstalling windows to clear my system *and changing antivirus to Avira - note no security issues are flagged by avira when installer runs*
Pdf creator went buggy. Pdfs printed by PDF creator would freeze when Reader tried opening them. (Although after restarting the system those same pdfs could be opened)
An attempt to repair the Adobe reader installation for version 8 failed, Then Opening Reader alone would freeze my computer. And I had to crudely uninstall Reader as a result. *May have left files - but I've scoured the Temp folders for them*
Anyway, installing adobe reader 9 then led to the error. (Interestingly, adobe reader 9 did appear installed after a cold reboot, and worked, however it dissapeared after the next normall restart.
&I've tried installing using a new acc, same error.
&FOxit reader works
&Adobe version 8 does not appear on my system.
&All normal computer functions seem to work..(Although a video on Gamespot recently displayed buggy stuff, not related i think)
&Installations of other programs work
&i've tried installing in a different directory
&Spyware doc, Threatfire, and Avira scans come up clean.
Just restarted *cold reboot*
The system took a long time to shut down *held the power button for longer*
And the hard disk didnt stop spinning for a very long time...
It also took a very long time to start the computer
Also, running an installer makes me undo the changes made by the adobe reader 9 installation, since it was suspeneded.

Use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup to remove vestiges of any version of
Reader in your Registry. Then turn off all antivirus and spyware
programs. Then try to re-install

Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe

Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader 11 is removed from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11. also tried:
1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled 2. installed from different locations 3. removed adobe key from
local machine and tried to install

Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines. However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE. Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

Adobe Reader X installation issue

Adobe Reader X installation caused me a very strange, unusual problem. My OS is Win XP SP3 and I have already installed Adobe Acrobat v.9.4.5.
The installation process went fine, but when my system had to be restarted after the installation at the domain login the system requested me to change my password, because of the expiring. It was very strange, because the PW has been changed 2 weeks before regarding the official 3 months period rule. I did the change now again, but after that I could not reach anyway a https web site (with certificate) and additionally has been destroyed my predefined signature in the Adobe Acrobat.
Well, after a longer wrestling with my system I could restore the missed functionalities (I had to remove the Reader too for this). However later I needed again the Reader for a test purpose and after the new installation exactly the same problem happend as above I described!
Has someone faced with any similar case?
BR: Dzsenix

Thanks for the info. Maybe that would be nice to build into the Reader and/or Acrobat a function to check any existing installed Adobe versions on the PC and warn the user if there would be any incompatibility issue during the installation of a new Adobe product. Many no-name programs can do that............ The great Adobe no would be able to do that???????

Cannot Delete Adobe Reader 9 Installer after failed download

I tried to download Adobe Reader 9 and the installation froze around 83%. After multiple attempts I tried downloading an older version (Adobe 8) and it worked but the installation folder for Adobe 9 is still on my desktop and it will not let me delete it. I have already tried using the Windows Install cleanup tool but it did not work. Any other ideas on how I can get rid of this installation program?

Thanks.. I managed to find a way to make it work.. I had no Adobe Reader in my list of programs when I went to Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove.. I took a chance and deleted Acrobat.com.. that allowed me to reload the latest v of Reader. I hope it didn't mess anything else up.

Subject: Cannot Delete Adobe Reader 9 Installer after failed download
I had same situation. Was able to delete by the following: (don't know why)
In Windows Explorer dragged the Adobe AIR folder from Desktop to another folder (which
removed it from the desk top display). Then just deleted it from the other folder.
Hope it works for you.

Adobe Reader 9 Installer on Desktop?

I just installed Adobe Reader 9 on a new Win Vista machine and it intalled three icons on my desktop: Adobe Reader 9, Adobe Reader 9 Installer, Acrobat.com. I understand why I need the Adobe Reader 9, but why were the other two left on my desktop after the intall? Can I delete the Adobe Reader 9 Installer and the Acroat.com? I don't really want them on my desktop if I don't need them. Thanks for the help. Mac

I have the same thing. I use Vista home Premium
I notice the adobe reader 9 installer folder is full of stuff. I wonder if you can delete it after reader 9 is installed?
Also I have adobe Air in my programs. Can that be deleted too?
Now when I first downloaded reader 9 I clicked ok for the Adobe DLM active x and that allowed something called "getPlus for Adobe" from NOS Microsystems. When I installed adobe Reader 9 on another computer, I did not click ok to Adobe DLM active x and i did NOT get reader 9installer on my dek top nor the getPlus for Adobe
I wonder if you don't use Adobe DLM active X and if you delete Adobe Air, Acrobat.com, doe you still have the newer secure Reader 9 functions?

HP pavilion g6 adobe reader 8 installer problem

I got a problem: (just got vista)
When I run the Adobe Reader 8 installer, I get this: Screenshot
I am really glad if you guys can help me to figure this out.Coz i love my HP laptop...thanks

First, I would use the latest version of Reader XI. But you need to empty your temp folder. You can have a temp folder off the C: drive and you can have a temp folder in your Personal Settings Folder.

When I print doc in Adobe Reader, it automatically scrolls down several inches before starting to print text. Therefore text runs off bottom of page. Have tried all different settings and nothing works. Help!!!!!

When I print in Adobe Reader, the paper scrolls down several inches before the text begins therefore running off the page. I have tried numerous settings and cannot fix problem. Help!!!

I have finally cracked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The issue is definitely with Java Sun. "Uneven character spacing when printing JTextComponent"
It is raised on the http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6488219
And currently in OPEN state, and raised on 31 Oct 2006 and mentions it was caused by fix 4352983.
So where do we go from here. It's not good because I have tried all later version of the JVM and the issue is still there.
Why? Because it hasn't been fixed yet. Read the bug report above, as it gives more insight -- and mentions the workaround is NOT good for existing code.
So the way forward is to use an earlier version of the JVM 5.
I download the JVM version 1.5.0 (starting version) and works Ok... I would probably think version prior to 4352983 would be Ok too.
Please vote for this.... We have a workaround (use older version of the JVM).
So I am very happy.

Adobe Reader 9 Installer

Now that I am running Adobe Reader XI can I delete the Adobe Reader 9 Installer?

There is no longer a need for AR9, so yes. For future questions on Reader, try the Reader forum.

Adobe Reader 9, Installer error 1635

Hi, I have a problem updating Adobe Reader 9.4.2. to version 9.4.3
Direct after starting the update I receive the installer error:
"1635 This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
I have tried this MS fix (MicrosoftFixit50123.msi) but it did not help.

I must say that a few days ago I also had an issue updating Adobe FlashPlayer. It would tell me at boot there was an update available, and after giving it the OK it started downloading, and installing, but although the installing gave no errors at all, both the FlashPlayers for Internet Explorer and Firefox were NOT updated, and only after a lot of these 'fake' updates I noticed it because a following update for Firefox told me my FlashPlayer was out of date while I saw FlashPlayer update that same morning.
Downloading and un-installing/re-installing both FlashPlayers did the trick... But now, a few days later another Adobe product has a problem updating.
I have not yet re-installed the reader, but since I have seen it work for 4 years, and since it MAY be related to Adobe Flash, I would like to see if someone can shine some light on this issue first.
I work with Windows XP Prof completely updated ( except... Adobe Reader).
Thanks.
Edit:
Meanwhile i have tried to uninstall Adobe Reader, but the same error persist.

As far as I can see the problem is solved.
You gave me the tip for the Windows Cleanup Utility, but the support for the program has stopped because some removals did damage to other installs. So I had some second thoughts about it.
But your idea brought me another, to use the Revo Uninstaller.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/
* Made a system restore point
* Downloaded Revo uninstaller Pro 30 day trial, but full version.
* Run Revo ( ! Adobe Reader 9 had 664 registry keys with 902 values...)
* Needed a reboot to remove last files from the Adobe reader 9.
* Roughly checked if other Adobe products still run...
* Downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X ( ? X ? It is version 10.0.1 after updating)
* Did an update of Reader X
* Needed reboot after update.
Ankit_Jain, the link you gave for the Reader 9 download is an US version, but I needed a Dutch (NL) version. That's why I searched for the Reader on the Adobe site, but came on the Reader X page. I thought the X stands for 'the latest version'. But it is not.
So I have a functioning reader back, with one difference: it is not Reader 9, but Reader X . I really don't know what the difference is, but what I do know is that the install takes quite a long time, and, if you don't uncheck the box on the site for the (free) McAfee scanner, it will also install that.
I will try what I have for now, and if I may find other problems around it I will surely report back.
Thanks all for your reactions

Adobe Reader 11 Installation Package is getting more over 500 MB after applying 11.0.0.1 MSP Patch

Hello,
I try to create an installable MSI Package with the MSP 11.0.0.1 applied to the 11.0.0 MUI Package. Then I want to deploy this to our clients in the company. I have done this with Adobe Reader X a couple of times very successful. What I have noticed now the original 11.0.0 Package has a size of 134MB if I apply the msp patch (the msp patch itself has 10MB) as usual the new package get a size of 583MB. This is too large and with Version 10 this was no issue at all. Does anyone has an idea why this is happening or seen the same behaivour?
Thanks
Ben

Did you find a solution ? I have the same problem with patch 11.0.03 and can't find any information...
Are we the only two that are bothered by this ?

Adobe reader 11 installation problem

Cannot instal Adobe reader 11. Downloader starts, installation files are downloaded, message appears "installation successful", looking at the system control, installed software, surprise surprise no Adobe 11 installed!!! Tried it with Firefox, IE, to no avail. sometimes a window opens saying "the installation has not been successful". None of the advices work. De-installed Adobe 7 beforehand of course.
I'm using XP SP3, Java script enabled.
Any idea would be very appreciated.
Rgds, fhk99

If "none of the advices work" I may be wasting my time and yours, but you can try using this tool to remove all traces of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Adobe Reader XI Installation Problem

I just performed a fresh reload of Windows XP SP3 on one of my computers. After downloading and running the installer for Adobe Reader XI I get the following error pop up:
Internet Explorer Script Error
An Error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line:     1
Char:    10570
Error:    'ActionLaunchReader' is undefined.
Code:    0
URL:     http://127.0.0.1:2469/app/_js/adobe.js
Again I am running Windows XP SP3 with all the patches applied, JRE 7u10 (set as the default for both IE and Firefox), and scripting is enabled in Internet Explorer. I get the exact same error when trying to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player as well, however, Adobe Shockwave installed just fine.
I am new to this forum, so forgive me if this problem has been posted before. I did not find anything similar in a search. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
