Can't install acrobat 8pro on windows 7 Professional

I am trying to install my old version of acrobat 8 to my new laptop which is windows 7 professional.
I get an install message that it is looking for "Adobepdf.dll for Vista".
What I can do to fix this? Thank you in advance!

All Adobe support for Acrobat 8 ended back in Nov 2011, about 5 years after that version was originally released (Nov 2006), and I'm not sure it ever was advertised that it was supported on anything later than Vista. Windows 7 didn't come along until late 2009, in the waning days of Acrobat 9.
Given the security concerns of older versions, I would strongly recommend upgrading to a more modern version. Acrobat X and later significantly changed the security model, and given the malware out in the wild that actively exploits older versions of Acrobat, I would seriously avoid unsupported versions.

  • Can I install Acrobat in a Windows Server 2008 for many users?

    I'm looking for a solution for my enterprise to install Adobe Acrobat in Windows Server 2008 R2, where the users connect by remote desktop. I'm looking for a form for they use Acrobat by the same form they uses now Reader. But not for all, only for some of this users.
    I called a responsible and he told me that I can install Acrobat for some users in Windows Server 2008 R2, but I'm not sure if that solution will be legal.
    Can I buy a special license for it or I have to buy a license for each user? How can I proceed to do this, if it's possible?
    Thanks in advance for you attention!

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
    <pre><nowiki>lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);</nowiki></pre>

  • Can't install Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP Home Ed V2002 SP3

    Newbie hozer can't install Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP Home Ed V2002 SP4.  At end of install via CD it hangs restarting Print Spooler (spooler) and Windows Image Acquisition (stisvc) services, err 1920, and all I can do is click Cancel and it uninstalls the whole dad gum thing.  I tried kb.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403613.html.  Not fixing it.
    If I could change the permissions on those services maybe that would help but I can't do it, I don't have a login with enough permissions, I guess...
    So after the third time I just hard-crashed the hard drive when it got to the last ("can't start Windows Image Acquisition", cancel/retry) window and I did end up with the files on the HDD but... they won't install or delete now.  I'm infested.  Try to install in Normal or Vega mode, it now pops up a filled in userid/serial number box, and when you click ok or retype it, it says the s/n is invalid.  I keep having to reboot to get Windows Installer to let me start it (another permissions problem).  So I'm stuck. UpToDateTrendMicro doesn't find any evil doers...  the kb403613 sent me to this forum,
    with hopes,
    M3/   [that's MEL, or as close as the ScreenNameBouncer would let me get]

    Not sure it will help, but try it when logged in as the administrator and with anti-virus turned off. As far as error numbers, must of us have no clue (there seems to be a list at Adobe, but we don't work there.

  • Can't install Acrobat 10

    I can't install Acrobat 10 on a new computer with Windows 7 Enterprise and Internet Explorer 9.
    Acrobat complians about IE says that it is IE7 and then finnish the installation.
    I tried to install Acrobat XI trial and it worked.
    Does anyone know what to do?

    Both versions are X so it's not a previous version of Acrobat.  So the correct workflow would be to script an uninstall of the Acrobat Standard installation using:
    msiexec.exe /x {APPLICATION_GUID}
    Reboot the machine
    Install Acrobat X Pro

    Can't install C:\AS10gNT_Disk1 on windows-desperated--Help .
    hello forum it seems as if i have miss understood something about installing C:\AS10gNT_Disk1,2,3.
    1: i have unziped all the 3 zip files in there respectivelly folders.
    for examples.C:\AS10gNT_Disk1\Disk1.
    i have oracle 9is db installed on my pc,
    so in a previous maill somebody adviced me, plus the installation errors showed me that i could't installed it in C:\oracle\ora92 witch is where I have oracle9is db installed.
    Then I was told that I could just give any new oracle_home and path.
    but this is not working for me.
    when I run oracle universal installation.
    destination.Then
    Enter or select an oracle home name and its full path.
    as i have to enter a different name from my previous one where oracle9isdb is installed,
    then I write
    name oracleServer,
    path c:\oracleServer when i do that i get the following errors.
    There was a problem in accesing the staging area.
    Pleased make sure the specified values for source and destiantion are valid

    Hi,
    actually I can only tell how it worked for me. I unzipped all zips into teh same directory and ended up with
    d:\stage\disk1
    d:\stage\disk2
    d:\stage\disk3
    Then I started the installer from disk 1 and follwoed all teh instructions. I did specify an Oracle Home as OracleAsInfra for the infrastructure to be in d:\OracleAsInfra and similar for teh Midtier OracleAsMidtier to be in d:\OracleAsMidtier
    The rest ran smoothly

    how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
    For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

  • I can't install Dreamweaver 8 on Windows 7

    Just like my title, I can't install Dreamweaver 8 on Windows 7 Release Candidate.
    I can start the installation, but it just stuck at "installing" for very long time,and the installation just can not Continue...
    I already try to running it in XP compatibility mode( Windows XP SP2), and the answer is the same: can't install.
    Can anyone advise, please?

    I'm afraid you may be out of luck.  DW 8 is 3 versions old and was not tested to work on the new operating system.
    There have been reports that some people are unable to run CS4 or are having problems with CS4 on Windows 7, so I doubt very much that DW8 would work.  Sorry.

  • How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

    How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

    You have several options.
    1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there.  A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.
    http://www.parallels.com/
    2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs.  The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    3. Use Wine /  Winebottler to run the Application without the need for a complete Windows installation.
