Adober Reader 9.3 install fails

I have installed and uninstalled Adobe 9.3. in XP Home. It still tells me that it has encountered a problem and must close. I need it to print PDF and FDF forms for my bulk mailing.

The assumption that everyone wants an IE BHO, or a Firefox plugin for that matter, for Reader is presumptuous.
We, for example, do not read PDF documents in a browser. Some earlier versions of Reader did not force BHO installation.
So, we have three choices:
Install a different PDF reader.
This option was considered when the same installation problem was encountered when Adobe Reader 8 was announced and queries through Adobe's official channels received no response. We remained on v7.1 instead.
Patch the installation to ignore the IE version and install an IE BHO that cannot be used by IE 5.5.
Patch the installation to eliminate the forced installation of IE BHO by asking if it is wanted.
Option 1 is most likely result since it does not require any effort on our part.
Perhaps I shall spend an hour or so one day to implement option 2. But I currently have a device driver completion date approaching..
Adobe should spend 30 minutes one day to implement option 3 as a CLI parameter.

Adobe Reader 9.3 install Fails - Why?

I run Windows 7 - 64 bit on a Dell laptop. When I try to load AR v. 9.3, I just get a message informing me it can't be installed. No reasons. No options. Nothing but an "OK" button to exit the pop-up. Real user friendly! What gives?

Don't try installing it through the browser. In other words if it asks "Do you want to run or save this file?" Do not choose Run. Choose Save and then run the installer AFTER it's downloaded and you've closed ALL browsers.
IE is terrible for running installers. There are too many background processes it tries to do as the installer is launching and it causes problems more often that it allows things to just work right.

Installing Adobe Reader 10 / 9 / X fails

After having downloaded the executable install-file in my download-area I dubbelclick that file, answer "Yes" at the question whether I am sure . . . and then nothing happens any more. In my Process list there is a new process "install_reader10_nl_mssd_aaa_aih". This process stays there but nothing happens. The installationfile then is removed from out of my download area. When I wait 4 hours nothing has changed, that is: Adobe Reader is not installed. What do i do wrong?

Does someone know what to do?

1. Draw your button (a rectangle, circle, your graphic)
2. Select it and choose Modify> Convert to symbol
3. Choose type "Button"
4. Give it an instance name on the "Properties" window, like my_btn
5. Create a new layer and place your cursor on the first frame for the layer you just created
6. Press F9 in Windows or open the Actions window Windows > Actions
7. Write code to indicate the function for the button:
function playVideo(event:MouseEvent):void
myVideo.play();
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideo);
function stopVideo(event:MouseEvent):void
myVideo.pause();
myStop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideo);

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 will not install to my IMac OSX 100.7.5

When I have a program open and want to download a PDF file that is when I get message to install Adobe Reader in order to print the PDF, when I try to download the Reader it either goes through the install action and says it is downloaded or it tells me the Adobe Reader is already installed. Message doesn't matter because it is not downloaded and installed. The only thing I find in my Finder download section is the Adobe Reader install download. I have tried this so many times. When I first got my Mac I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player with no problem. Any suggestions?

Ok. Thanks Mike.
It would be nice if Adobe published the correct information then.
The Flash Player page specifically shows 12.0.0.4 for Safari, FireFox and Opera. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Correct info would have prevented a pointless waste of time. The other Flash Player test page also reports the wrong information when viewing via Safari and FF.

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 WOULD NOT INSTALL. STATES "ACCESS DENIED"

Hi dharamsishah,
Are you still facing this issue?
The computer you trying to get Reader installed on it. Is it your own computer or work computer?
It seems you might not have permission to install application.
You may try to create a new user profile with admin rights and then try installing again.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

Do I uninstall adobe reader when I install Acrobat?

Should I uninstall adobe reader when I install Acrobat? or is there a reader program embedded in acrobat?

Hi Bill@VT,
The application installing 2nd (or later) always asks "whether the user wants to provide default PDF ownership or not" during the installation. (Please also refer to Image attached)
I would like to understand, if there is any common use case where the system decides by itself about the PDF owner when both Acrobat & Reader are installed.
Thanks.
