Attempting to reinstall Acrobat Pro ver 8. Error: a more functional product installed"

My computer crashed a few months ago which required reinstalling all software. Acrobat Pro was not showing up on my programs menu yesterday so I assumed I had not reinstalled it. I attempted the installation and received error: "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate."
Assuming that it was installed, with updates, I decided to uninstall it. It is not listed as an installed program in Control Panel / Programs and Features; however, there is an Acrobat 8.0 folder in Program Files/Adobe. After this didn't work, I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.0 but it made no difference.
The following are installed: Adobe AIR, Adobe Captivate 4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Standard, and Adobe Reader 9.1 (which I reinstalled today).
I called tech support, but since it is not the current version, have to pay for support. Can anyone help with this problem?
Thanks!

You are not supposed to have Reader and Acrobat Pro installed on the same computer. Additionally, your CS 4 Production Premium should have come with Acrobat Pro 9! If that is installed, you should not try to install 8. See if you can fix the installation of CS 4 Production Premium installation to get it to install Acrobat Pro 9. If that is not possible, I'd advise deactivating your Adobe Software, running the CS 4 Cleansscript  and then try re-installing fram scratch.

  • Can't install Acrobat X Pro. Error message says I already have a more functional product installed.

    I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I continue to receive error messages saying I already have a more functional product installed. I have FM 12 and Adobe Reader XI.

    Hi Beth,
    You should not receive this message if you dont have Acrobat 11 installed.
    Try removing Reader 11 and check.

  • When trying to install Adobe Standard XI, it says, "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Steup will now terminate."  I have a Pro trial installed but did not seed so much functionality so I purchased standard.

    uninstall any acrobat and reader versions, if you have win os clean (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and then install acrobat std.

  • Update to Adobe Acrobat failed because it said I had a more functional product installed.

    I have no idea what more functional product I have installed. Also, when I clicked on my plugin Adobe Acrobat to update, the update said Adobe Reader. Are they the same?

    Thanks. I removed Adobe Reader, then clicked on the Update Now box for Adobe Acrobat in my Firefox plug-ins. This time the installation worked, but after closing my browser and opening it again, in my plug-ins list it still says to Update Now. Adobe Reader X (10.1.4) is now in my programs list so I don't know why.

  • I cannot install Adobe X Pro.  It states that I already have a more functional product installed.

    I only have Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Flash Player loaded on my laptop.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Hi jtide,
    Please check if you are trying to install Acrobat X Pro or Reader X.
    If it's Acrobat, then try uninstalling Reader 11 and install Acrobat. After Acrobat is installed, Install Reader 11.
    Acrobat X Pro with Reader 11 can be installed on the same computer.

    Hi Aliastral,
    Please go to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and uninstall CC desktop.
    Run the Adobe Cleaner tool to remove any leftover ruminants: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and try installing Acrobat again.
    If still the same issue then try to download from the direct link: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html.
    Kindly follow the very important instructions before download.

  • How do I get rid of deactivation error 194:1 in Adobe Acrobat Pro ver 9

    How do I get rid of deactivation error 194:1 in Adobe Acrobat Pro ver 9
    It happens on multiple PCs

    All menu content, include motion, is limited to 1 Gig.  This is not easy to calculate.  This is not a common error unless you are over.
    When projects are revised, particularly numerous times, Encore may not correctly remove old elements.
    Easiest method here is probably to start the project over.  You can import the menus from the old project.
    You can also close this project, and try clearing the media cache.

    'Any ideas how I can get my Adobe Acrobat v10 back & updated?
    Many Thanks

    Good Morning again,
    I am AMAZED – I thought I was the only one that get up real early - I came into the office around 06:00 EST  (Pennsylvania, USA).  When I wrote my last email to you, I assumed there is no way you will  get a chance to respond for quite a few hours – especially if you on the West Coast!  
    Since I use this wonderful program every day in my work, I had a brainstorm!  I retrieved the original disc:
    ·         I uninstalled Acrobat X Pro
    ·         I took the original disc and reinstalled the program.
    o   The program installed fine and everything was going great until I searched for updates
    ·         I told the system to run the update and it came back with "Update failed An error occurred.  Please check updates again later Error: 1602”
    I tried the update 2 times and then saw your reply telling me NOT to uninstall.   L  Honest, I'm very appreciative any guidance you might be able to give – I didn't mean it all to go against your guidance  as just I never dreamed you would be that quick to respond.
    Now the program is re-installed (without updates) is you have any ideas what I might do to add the patches to my newly installed (old) program?
    ·         I tried to install the latest update as the program requested.
    ·         Should I start installing each of the sequential updates one at a time?
    BTW – you are absolutely correct – I did try to include a screenshot (.jpg).  I sent my last request 2 ways:
    ·         #1 as a reply to the email you sent and
    ·         #2 I also went on to the website and replied from there with the same information. 
    I'm going to try to do JUST the reply via email this time.  Please let me know if you did receive this.
    Thanks again for your help & guidance,
    Barry

  • Reinstall Acrobat Pro 7 - can't install updates past 7.0.5

    Upgraded to OS 10.5 (PPC Mac - last operating system) and had to reinstall Acrobat Pro 7 from CD as "components were missing". Adobe Updater worked through 7.0.5 Update, now refuses to add any further updates. Tried manual updating, but the 7.0.7 updater says "An invalid application was selected" when I try to select the copy of Acrobat Pro 7.0.5. The 7.1.3 "all" updater, as well as all those between 7/0/7 and it,  tells me "The selected application version is outside the range that can be updated with this installer".
    Suggestions?
    Rick

    When I was installing, I received a message saying,
    "Error 1310. Error writing to file C:\Program Files (X86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\adistres.dll.  Verify that you have access to that directory."
    Then it had a button for retry and when I hit it, it finished installing without any more errors.  My UAC always asks me to allow programs to make changes to the computer and when I allow, it's always fine.  I actually like this for added security.  I've never had an issue with any other program. 

  • Cannot Reinstall Acrobat Pro 7.0

    I have CS2. I uninstalled Acrobat Pro 7.0. Now I cannot reinstall it from the original software. Install runs but does not install anything, nor does it show any error messages. I have XP SP3 and IE8. I have Reader 9.1.2  The other componens of CS2 work fine. Any help?

    Adobe recommends that you do not have Acrobat and Acrobat Reader installed on the same system. The programs have files that each products installs in the same folders that can cause all kinds of problems such as yours. I strongly suggest you remove Acrobat Reader using the Windows Install Cleanup Utility. Then reinstall Acrobat Pro. You still will be able to view PDF files in your browser with Acrobat itself without Reader being installed.
    Good luck.

    I reinstalled acrobat pro 9.0 on windows 7 Ultimate 64, it installed OK, When I open i get a large white popup screen which i cannot close... what to do?

    Hey jeroenb16613921,
    Please specify exactly when you get this white popup screen. While opening a PDF or launching Acrobat by double-clicking on the Acrobat icon.
    If it comes when opening a PDF, then where is this PDF actually stored?
    Let me know more on the same so that I can analyze the issue.

  • Lost toolbar (Typewriter) when reinstall acrobat pro 7 (CS2) under Win 7

    Hi There,
    Recently, my computer has beed updated to Win 7 from Windows XP. When I reinstalled Acrobat pro 7 (CS2),  toolbar "typewriter" did not show up.
    Please help to find out the way to fix it. Thank you very much.

    I don't have AA 7 available anymore. It may be that you have a selection of tools that can be made, I don't remember. Without finding a machine with AA 7 on it, I can't help much more on that. As far as the printer, you have to install a PS printer (either from Adobe or maybe a color HP PS printer). Then change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILES. Then, when you print you will be saving to file. The file created must be opened in Distiller to create the PDF. I have tried this on both 332 and 64-bit versions of Win7. There may be other features that vary and I did not do extensive testing. Maybe one of your systems is 32-bit and the other 64-bit and that might cause the problem. Keep in mind that AA 7 is a 32-bit process. You also need to install the updates that are at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/. Apparently you were successful with the installation, though the activation server is no longer available for AA7 -- there is an alternative in that case, but you don't seem to need it.
