Can't install Acrobat Reader

I have not been able to install the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader on my laptop. When I click on the exe file to install it, I get a blank black box, with 'Adobe Reader Installer' in the top bar. Can anyone please help?

Moved to Adobe Reader.
There is no product Acrobat Reader (at least not for more than a decade). There is an Adobe Reader and a Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) product. Adobe Reader is the free software for reading pdf files.

  • PEASE HELP Can't install Acrobat reader pro

    I had a free copy of acrobat pro that ran out and I bought the creative suite that includes it from the school bookstore. I'm trying to install it and it won't install the whole program, but just updates the old free trial. Then when I open it it tells me it has expired and wants the serial number before I can use it. So I type in the serial number the company gave me when when I bought my software but it says it is invalid. I need to hand in an important assignment in school using the adobe pro and I'm at a loss as to what to do.

    Hi, I have similar situation here.
    Basically, I have problem with the version Arcobat Pro Extend Trial version.
    I have been using version 4 pro for a long time, and interested to find out what the main difference between the pro and the extend version.
    Unfortunately, my system crashed during the installation, the installer was copying files to the system. After I did a reset/restart the system, I try the installing again. I would not let me install. It would stop on the screen which ask me to install as trial or enter s/n. When I click trial, it would not response, as if I didn't click it.
    I tried the Windows installer cleaner, it didn't work.
    Thanks for John T Smith's hint, the Clean Script to Remove Adobe CS3, link. After I ran it, it allows me to install again.
    a lot of thanks

  • How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

    Hello!,
    I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
    Thanks,
    Marcus Bale

    Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
    If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.

  • Unable to install Acrobat Reader 9.3.4

    What ever I do, Acrobat Reader 9.3.4 installation won't execute.  The file would open and process, but thereafter; nothing happens.  I've tried uninstalling Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 using Revo Uninstaller just to make sure that there won't be any issues with the latest installation, but no changes. I've tried downloading the latest version via the download site, but no go. Anyone else having similar issues as me?  I've checked the forums here and other forums to find a solution, but I'm unable to find any.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Mahalos in advance.

    Hi,
    I can't install acrobat reader but it seems it's for a different reason from what I'm reading in these posts. When I download it everything seems fine until I try to open it by clicking on the icon or try to read a PDF file. The Adobe reader license agreement pops up, says that I need to accept it before I continue, but there is no accept button!!! I try to scroll all the way down  and nothing; there is no accept button!! I've tried uninstalling it and installing it again, same thing. I've tried the link posted in this forum and the same thing happened. It's really getting on my nerves. Can you please please help me?? It just seems so basic, but I'm totally stuck! Any help will be much appreciated!!!

  • Why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory

    why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

    What is your operating system & version?
    If you are on Windows, download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click 'Change Destination Folder' and the first install panel.

  • Can not accept license after installing Acrobat Reader 8 and removing 6

    To whom it may concern,
    after installing Acrobat Reader 8, removing Acrobat Reader 6, and starting Acrobat Reader 8 the license agreemnet window appeared as aspected. The problem is it displays everything as far as I can see correctly, but it is not working in any way. I have to close the windows by clicking on the white cross in the title bar. I then receive the message, that I did not accept the license and therefore Acrobat Reader will be closed. And that happens when I click ok.
    Hopefully someone over here as a tip who I can proceed. Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Jochen

    Dear Claudio and Shari,
    Liam's suggestions have been of value for me. The Acrobat Reader is up and running.
    Thank's!
    @Shari
    I'm using Firefox as well. An the tip and tool form Liam helped.
    Just give it a try. The Explorer is used by Windows for more than a simple browser.
    Best regards,

  • Windows Installer error while trying to install Acrobat Reader 8

    I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 off the CS3 disc. I already have Acrobat 8 Professional (8.2.3) installed. I just need the Reader. Whenever I try to install the Reader I get the following error, "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnal for assistance."
    I have tried all the Microsoft fixes for this situation, but I still keep getting the error message. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Nevermind, I figured out what was wrong. I had disabled User Account Control (UAC) when I was tweaking my OS. So I enabled UAC again and was able to install Acrobat Reader 8 without any problems.

  • 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.

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

    Hi,
    in the previous post I leave out that everything starts with the automatic update.
    The update of Adobe Acrobat didn't finalize and leave me a message like before I reported. Then I tried to uninstall AR 9 and the process still finalized with error but now, maybe I could solve the problem...I uninstall the program with Revo uninstaller and download the new release of Adobe Reader 10, that maybe do not use the registry key corrupted like the update of AR 9 did.
    So, I still have the problem in the registry probably but I could install Adobe Reader.
    I think I can leave the key in the registry without any problem, I hope it doesn't affect any program or application.
    Thank you anyway
