Cannot uninstall or reinstall Adobe Reader - tried from MS and Firefox

Cannot open PDF files get "internal error occurred." Cannot Unitnstall Adobe Reader get "Error 1606.." Can't install Adobe Reader get "The following application(s) could not be installed." Tried to install from MS and Firefox. I have Windows Vista Home Premium

Regarding error 1606 - have a look at this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549/.
If you still cannot uninstall Adobe Reader, use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove it. (But I recently heard of problems when using the cleanup tool if Office 2007 is installed.)
After removing Adobe Reader, download http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi, save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

Cannot uninstall or reinstall Adobe Air on XP - tried everything

I cannot uninstall or reinstall Adobe Air and now Pandora is not working. If I click the Air installer it says Air is already installed but the Pandora app says I need to install Air. If I look in add/remove programs it is not listed. I have tried the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and the Microsoft Fix it but Air does not show up in them either. I am running XP SP3. Thanks, Lance

Removing adobe reader icon from excell and outlook

Sorry, your question is not clear. Can you give us the exact wording (or a screenshot) of that notification?

Adobe Reader 11.0.03 and Windows 8

Hello,
I am getting the error "cannot find or create the font 'Arial'. Some Characters may not display or print correctly" in Adobe Reader 11.0.03. If I click thru the error, the pdf is fine and perfectly readable and doesn't appear again. Also, my co-workers can download/open the same pdf's from the same source and get no errors at all. If I forward the pdf that I received the error with, the person who received the pdf in question doesn't get the error. It is random, it doesn't happen with all pdf's, but enough to cause concern. I have uninstalled/re-installed Adobe Reader 11.0.03, and done a repair. The font in question is installed. I even downloaded/installed the Arial font from an installation CD of Windows 8 in case mine were corrupted somehow. Some backround information:
Windows 8 on a tablet PC running a Corporate image
Adobe Reader 11.0.03
This image is the standard for my company and is the exact same on every tablet that is deployed within the company. Yet, to my knowledge, I am the only one receiving this error. I do not want to have this tablet re-imaged and don't believe it should be necessary.
Any and all help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If I have forgotten to include any needed information to help your diagnosis/resolution, please let me know and I will post it as soon as I can.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Problem uninistalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 9.1.3

How do I reinstall Adobe Reader 9.1.3?
When I look at the Adobe site all I see for 9.1.3 is an update.
Origin of the problem
Because of a problem I had downloading any pdf file I decided to uninstall Adobe Read 9.1.3 (with its CPSID-49522 patch)
When I tried to do this in Add/Remove programs I got the message "This patch package could not be opened .."
I then used Windows Installer Cleanup Tool to remove the program. (I noted that it said I would need to reinstall the program.)
This seemed to work. Adobe Reader 9.1.3 was no longer in its list (nor in Add/Remove programs)
However, this only seems to remove the program from these lists - the program AcroRD32.exe is still in 'Program Files' and running it opens Adobe Reader 9.1.3.
David
PS
I still have the Adobe 8 installer 'AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe' stored on my system.
Should I run that?

When I try to install Adobe Reader 9.2 from the file AdbeTdr920_en_US.exe
(downloaded to the Desktop) I get the message:
"Runtime error", "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it
in an unusual way",
"Adobe Bootstrapper for Single Installation has encountered a problem and
needs to close",
"Installation failed"

Installing Adobe Reader XI from Adobe Reader X

For some reason, I cannot install Adobe Reader XI from X. I have downloaded it, both using the
installer and direct. When I run the package, it says that it is successful, but when I check, I find that I
am still running Adobe X (10.6.1).
I am running Windows XP SP3 HE with all updates current.
My system is 1.6Ghz
I have 2G memory
I have 500GB hard drive.
I have uninstalled X first, but nothing seems to allow me to successfully install XI.
I have reinstalled X.
Please note that I have and use Chrome, Firefox AND IE8.

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of of Reader:

Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Cannot print PDFs in Adobe Reader 11

When I try to print a PDF using Adobe Reader 11, it says that it cannot print because no pages have been selected for print. Here's some more information:
What I have done:
printed a PDF through a web browser. This worked fine.
saved that same PDF, reopened it in Adobe Reader, tried to print. It did not work.
opened PDFs from emails and tried to print. That did not work.
tried "Print As Image" as some forums have suggested, but I cannot because that option is greyed out.
Computer history:
my computer had a virus 2 weeks ago. Before the virus, everything printed fine. I'm guessing that perhaps I had a different version of Adobe Reader on my computer before then, and that the newly installed one (post-virus) is the problem. But, I'm not sure.
Thanks for your help. This is so strange! If it makes a difference, I use a Brother HL-2270DW wireless printer.

Hi Vikrantt,
The printer is a Brother HL-2270DW. It says this at the end when I look at the details on the network device page: [008092b6bcfa]. I'm not sure what type the driver is, but I do see that the driver version is 1.9.0. How can I figure out the type?
Thanks,
Kate

Cannot install Adobe Reader 11.0.09 and Asian Fonts over older versions

I'm using a script to install Adobe Reader 11.0.09 and it works sometimes, but very often, there is an error saying it cannot install it because a previous version exists.
We have to manually uninstall older versions of Adobe Reader 11 and then re-run the script and then it works.
@echo off
cls
start /wait msiexec.exe /i \\appserver1\Apps\AdobeReader\11.009\AcroRead.msi /qb TRANSFORMS="\\appserver1\Apps\AdobeReader\11.009\AcroRead.mst"
start /wait msiexec.exe /i \\appserver1\Apps\AdobeReader\11.009\fonts\FontPack11009_XtdAlf_Lang.msi /qb
How can we change this script so that it will force installation over any previous version?
By the way, the installation was created with Adobe Customization Wizard and has settings enabled to remove any previous versions of Adobe Reader. So, the problem with installing over existing version could be from the Font Pack installation,

What does the verbose installation log say?
