Adobe X Deletes Install Folder Contents

Hey,
When installing Adobe X, it deletes most of the contents the C:\Windows\Install folder.
There are items in this folder that are being used by the system. Is there a way to get it not to delete this?
It is Windows 7.
Thanx

This is more when art is missing and has to be updated to a new location or when you are wanting to place a new graphic. Thanks

Adobe Flash Player installed, but content doesn't work

Adobe Flash Player works after I install it, but then
evenually it stops working. I have tried lots of support methods,
including downloading Microsoft's tool to fix permission errors. I
am using
Windows Vista Home Premium and the latest version of
Adobe Flash Player.
I noticed somewhere that there was an old thread like this
with someone having the same problem. I saw that someone who
replied showed a screenshot of what the permissions for
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT should look like. Interestingly, they
don't appear to match.
Here is the screenshot:

Please help me fix this problem. Without
Adobe Flash Player, I can't do numerous things, such as
watch videos on
YouTube.

I have solved the problem, thanks to this post:

Cannot delete Adobe Reader 11.0 folder?

While transfering adobe reader to my other HDD, I accidentally dropped the folder on my desktop. I thought nothing of this and after all this was done I attempted to delete it from my desktop and now it continues to tell me that I do not have permission. I am the only user and have administrator of course and I have checked the properties which tell me that everything has full control. I have tried to delete it while in safe mode, I removed adobe reader completely from my computer and I still cannot. The files that won't allow me to delete it are the "Identity-H" and "Identity-V" files in the CMap folder. I've been able to delete the folder from anywhere except my desktop.

If you download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ you can install it whereever you want.
Installed programs have hundreds of registry entries containing install locations etc. If you move the installed programs to another location, the program most likely will not longer work.

I installed Magellan Content Manager on my MacBook Pro. I want to delete it. How do I do that?

I installed Magellan Content Manager on my MacBook Pro. I want to delete it. How do I do this?

It is easiest to do this if you have access to an external hard drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
Attach the hard drive.
In iMovie on your Mac Book, click VIEW?EVENTS BY DISK.
You should see a small icon for your external drive in your Project Library List. Hold down the Command Key while dragging the small icon for your Project to the small icon for the external drive - then drop.
(Note 1: Holding down the Command Key makes this a move. If you do not hold down the Command key, it will Copy not Move.)
(Note 2: If you used Keywords, use Copy not Move. If you use Move, you will lose the Keywords.)
Now, select the Project in the Project Library so it is highlighted. Click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA...
This will copy over all music and photos used in the project, and it will either Copy or Move all Events used in the project to the external drive.
When done, you can eject the external drive and plug it into the new Mac.
You can run the project off the external drive as is. However, if you want to move everything to the internal drive, you can repeat the process above. Command-Drag the project to the internal drive, and then select it, and FILE/CONSOLDATE MEDIA...
Consolidate Media moves or copies all assets to the same drive where the project is.

this was the first thing i tried, fixed it here is how (SURE FIRE WAY TO GET RID OF IT. TIRED OF SIFTING THROUGH USELESS POSTS TO FIGURE THIS OUT? HERE IS THE LEGIT FIX!)
open firefox.
go to Settings > Options > Search
un-check every search engine
change the "default search engine" to the engine of your choice and close firefox.
next go to Start > Run > regedit
Click search box and type "yahoo" it will take you to the folder containing the registry for "yahoo" delete the whole folder.
restart firefox.
Check to be sure it worked, (you may need to reset the "default search engine" again.)

I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory. It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images). You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer. If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it. If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
NOTE: If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

Temporaryitems folder in cache- Can I delete it's contents?

HI all,
I'm just discovering that the Cache folder is the culprit in taking up most of my Disk space, as I always use an external hard drive for all of my content. So--how do I delete the cache folder contents? I discovered that the largest folder in there is called "Temporaryitems" and has only two things that are amounting to 40 gigs of space. Can I delete these things or will it reak havoc?
I've search the web for an hour and didn't find anything specific to this question.
Thanks!!

Restart the computer. If the files remain, they can just be deleted.

How can i get back the adobe creative cloud shared folder after I deleting it?

How can i get back the adobe creative cloud shared folder after I deleting it?

I think Adobe pulled the Creative Connect Desktop app until the new CC release next month. I just built a new PC and noticed it wasn't available in the app manager any more. On my other machines it isn't working anyway. In another post Adobe devs said they new it was down because thay were working out some server issues. It looks like they couldn't resolve them.
I bought into the CC right from the beginning since I never buy my software outright but rather use a credit card. I thought that getting the whole master suite for $30 a month interest free was a great deal. Having all the software has been great, but it was over a year before we even saw a desktop syncing folder and noe it seens as though we are going to have server problems every time they upgrade the cloud leaving us to have to use the cluncky web interface during these sync blackouts.
I can tell you Adobe better get it together cause ther starting to p*ss off a lot of loyal customers. It feels like were dealing with a cellphone company who only gives deals to the new customers and once you've signed the contract your screwed.
Here is the link to whats going on

My computer is infected with adware. I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it. Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed. How do I reinstall Adobe Reader?

My computer is infected with Adware. I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it. Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed. Reader wasn't the problem. So how do I get Reader reinstalled?
And if anyone knows how to delete WebProtect ads, please let me know. It's actually getting worse.
FrostedinSilver

Hi frostedinsilver,
I'm sorry to hear that. What a hassle.
You can download Reader from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.

How do I find folder contents which were accidentally deleted?

How do I find folder contents which were accidentally deleted?

They would be in your Trash. Unless you have emptied your trash since then, in which case you'd need to use a file recovery tool such as Data Rescue.
Of course, if you use Time Machine for backups, you can easily retrieve the file from TM.

During an aborted migration attempt from old Macbook Pro to new machine running Yosemite my recently installed apps and settings have been placed in a deleted user folder. How do I reinstate them?

During an aborted migration attempt from old Macbook Pro to a new machine running Yosemite my recently installed apps and settings have been placed in a deleted user folder. How do I reinstate them?

I suggest starting over. Boot into Recovery mode, wipe the HD, reinstall the OS, and, on first boot, use the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide to do the migration.'

Slow loading when creating a new folder or deleting a folder or file

Hello! Before we begin, a little information. This problem only started occurring AFTER I updated to Mavericks. I have been through every operating system since Snow Leopard and NEVER had this problem until Mavericks. It has been palguing me since I updated in October and I need some answers. Seeing as how I do not feel like paying $59 to ask apple for help in this matter I'm coming to the community. This is an odd problem where finder doesn't seem to want to load certain actions properly. In my case, creating a new folder, deleting a folder or file, and using the "always open with" function.
In terms of creating a new folder, anywhere in finder, the folder will not appear immedlately, insetad it takes a staggering 5-10 seconds to appear where I created it. For deleting a folder or file, the same thing happens. It takes a huge amount of time to move the folder or file to the trash bin, UNLESS I open a different folder or file in the same directory after deleting said folder or file, in which case it moves right away. And the "always open with" checkbox just doesn't work at all.
About my platform: Intel iMac (Late 2009) 3.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 220 out of 499.75gb hard drive space. OS X version 10.9.2
Thanks in advance for any help in these matters.
You guys helped me solve the unchangeable background problem when apple couldn't, so I'm reaching out to you again for that awesome support I know you guys have in you

Adobe contacted me and had me reset my prefereneces for flash using their steps. I have done that and a complete uninstall/re-install and searched for corrupted fonts and still I am having the same issue and adobe support appears to have just left me hanging.
Is there anyone here who has experienced this same issue that can offer any assistance to solve this issue. As it stands right now I have a product I cannot even use and that is troublesome to say the least.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

How do I install additional content for Illustrator

I'm having a similar issue. I successfully installed the CS 6 Suite from the .exe and .7z file pair, but there are two additional files, Illustrator_16_Content_LS16.exe and InDesignFamily_8_Content_ALL.exe, that were part of the download package from adobe.com. Aftre the CS6 install, I moved on to these two files. They extracted their contents to the Deskop into Illustrator and InDesign folders, respectively, and then nothing further happened. There is no Setup.exe in either folder, so I'm wondering if I'm supposed to move the contents of each to the appropriate program folder in Program Files. Any ideas on I should proceed? Were the 2 .exe files silently picked up by the CS 6 Suite install and the extracted folder contents are already installed appropriately?

Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum. You may also want to post your inquiry to the InDesign forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_general for how to utilize the additional content available for that program.
