Can't remove Acrobat 7.0 when Installing Acrobat 9.0

I must have uninstalled Acrobat 7.0 Pro improperly and so now when I go to install Acrobat 9.0 Standard the installation wizard tells me I must remove Acrobat 7.0 before installing 9.0. As it is trying to uninstall the rest of 7.0 during the 9.0 installation, a message screen pops up telling me "Error 1714: The older version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group".
What do I do as I have tried runnning clean script and manually removing Acrobat 7.0 as discussed in some threads in this forum but nothing seems to work. I do not seem to be able to delete the remaining files in the Program Files\Adobe\Active X directory, it tells me they "cannot be deleted, access is denied, make sure that the disc is not full or write protected or not currently in use".
Please help as I have a project deadline on Monday 7/20 and I need to produce .pdf files!!!!!

Reinstall 7 and then delete it properly. You might actually be able to do a repair if it is still in your list of programs. If you install it and it works, it might be better to use it to complete your deadline. Bad time to be changing software.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer. Forms Central can't open LiveCycle Designer Forms so what do you do?
I have uninstalled XI and re-installed LiveCycle Designer only. On re-installation, I chose not to uninstall version 9 and to do a customer set up (not installing forms central).
LiveCycle is now working along with Acrobat ProXI

LiveCycle Designer is no longer distributed as part of the Acrobat release. I think it is available as a separate product. At this point, Acrobat provides the AcroForm type tools (kind of hard to get to, just as in some previous versions) and the option for Forms Central. The whole focus has changed. I suspect that others may be in the same situation of trying to get their forms to interact in Acrobat or Forms Central, but at this point I do not think there is any way to back Designer forms into either of the two current formats. Not much help, but a comment in any case.

For future reference... if you have the trial version installed and plan to buy it after trying it out, there is no need to uninstall it. It can be activted to full use with the serial number from your purchase.
You should still be able to download and install the trial version and use your serial number to activate it. For the direct download link to the trial below, be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

When installing acrobat pro

when installing acrobat pro it cannot install since a version (i am assuming trial) already exists in destination folder

Hi Juulie,
If the trial version already exists then you need not reinstall the software.
Simply enter the purchased serial key in the trial version of the software to convert it into full version.
If you have already removed the trial version and it still shows this error, then try running the Acrobat Cleaner tool ( Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs ) to remove it completely and then reinstall.

Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

I wonder if this is related to the previous version issue with Acrobat 8 that displayed the same or similar error?
Here is the text from a very old document for Acrobat 8 KB if you want to try it but I don't know if it will work
Error: "You have entered an invalid serial number..." when you try to launch Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer
Issue
When you try to launch Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer, the program returns the error message, "You have entered an invalid serial number. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and enter a valid serial number when asked."
Solution
Check the alm_config_files folder for a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file.
Navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\alm_config_files
The following two files should appear in this folder:
AdobeConfig.xml
AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf
Delete the AdobeConfig.xml file.
Rename the AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf to AdobeConfig.xml by deleting the "aiwbf" suffix.
Launch Acrobat 8 Standard.
Additional Information
On some Dell computers, a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file is created when Acrobat 8 Standard is installed. The AdobeConfig.xml file without the "aiwbf" suffix is written for a volume-license version. The correct AdobeConfig.xml file is given the suffix. When a retail version of Acrobat tries to read the volume-license AdobeConfig.xml file, Acrobat returns the error.

When installing Acrobat Pro 11 on Windows 7 32 bit, it just hangs and won't install

When installing Acrobat Pro 11 on Windows 7 32 bit, it takes you through all the way to install, then it just hangs and won't install.

Hi mrmacnology,
Please check and ensure that you should not have any prior version of Acrobat already installed on your computer.
Do you get any specific error message?
You might try installing Acrobat from a different browser.

No you will need to find the proper Acrobat Standard installer which corresponds to your serial number. If you purchased Acrobat Standard from Adobe and choose the download option then it maybe available under your account. Please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download your purchased Adobe software.

How to disable the internet explorer 9 automaticly installation when installing Acrobat XI Pro

Hi,

Acrobat installers do not install other products.

Can I remove internet explorer 8, after installing Foxfire

I just installed Foxfire. I like it very much and want to keep it as my permanate browser. My question is can I remove Internet Explorer 8.
Thanks
Walter Spain

No. I am not sure that IE can be totally removed from Windows XP. As I recall, it is interwoven into the XP operating system. Removing IE8 in ''Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs'' will simply back up to the previous IE version until you end up at IE6 (full of security issues). If that is the case, it is best keep IE8 on your system. If you ever need to do '''''manual updates''''' for Windows, you will need IE to do so.
You can change your default browser to be Firefox:

Please Help: Lost Acrobat 8 Organizer Collection Folders when installing Acrobat 9

I guess it should have been obvious...but after installing Acrobat 9 Pro...from version 8 Pro...all of my Organizer collections are not there at all....gone. (I have the old \organizer70 folder on a backup)
When looking under: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0....There is a FILE called: Organizer90. (no directory, like in 8.1)
Is there ANY way to import or convert acrobat 8 Organizer collections to acrobat 9???? - or any other way to restore my organizer collection folders? - I have a few hundred of them...and I can't afford to start over....I'm desperate! :)
This (conversion) should have been obvious when upgrading. I even tried copying the directory from 8 into the same subdirectory as 9...but no luck.
If someone knows...PLEASE let me know....I even tried a repair install to no avail.
Thanks!

Thanks for answering.... :)
This is unbelieveable.....it's like they just ignored folks who love the organizer.
That's really what makes it worth it to me.
Ok...
Is there anyway to copy the History file(s)...from Acrobat 8 to 9?
I figure....I clear the history in 8....then open up a collection folder's multiple files at one time....you know, to establish a new history of files for this day....on another PC....then copy that file to my PC...and put it in Acrobat 9's place. Hoping that Acrobat 9 will open the history files...which I can then save as a new collection in the Organizer...and rename the folder the same as I had it named in Acrobat 8.
If you can tell me how to copy the history file from 8 to 9...I'd appreciate it....
Hehe...sorry to sound so desperate...but I am... :)......I have a few hundred folders...and that's the only way...by copying the history and making new collection folders...that I can think of.
Thanks Again,
Rick...
