Changing the installation path for Adobe Reader X under Windows XP

I installed Adobe Reader on an external drive called G:\
Now I do not have this G:\ drive anymore and I want to install Adobe Reader X on my main drive : C:\ but when I download the software there is no possibility to select a new path. Adobe Reader X automatically tries to install itself on the G:\ drive and fails with the comment : G:\ Drive is no longer valid.
How can I force the installation on my C:\ drive in the Progam Files ?

I have had no luck with this solution. All that happens is that the WINDOWS INSTALLER window open itself... Any idea ? I am at a lost here !!! Thanks
Firstly go to control panel -> Add Remove Programs and check if there is any entry for Reader X. If it is present, uninstall it by clicking on uninstall button (it gets highlighted when you select reader X entry in Add Remove Programs). Let the uninstallation complete. Download Reader from adobe site http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise on to your local machine. Install then using command line msiexec /i INSTALLDIR="Location to Install" /qb

Is the installation file for adobe reader, the same for all the versions of windows ? Is it ?

Hello,
I want to know if the installation file for adobe reader is it the same for all the windows ?
It is because I have to do an automatic installation for XP, seven and windows 8...
It is also the same between 32bits and 64bits ?
Thanks.
Best regards
Sofia Luna

It may be worth mentioning two things.
1. Adobe provide extensive information on Enterprise Deployment of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
2. You may well need a redistribution license to do this, if you are installing on behalf of anyone (accepting EULA for them), pushing, or hosting etc.

How can I change the installation path of JWS?

I have to install the JRE 1.4.0_01 in silent mode on Windows XP. For the JRE I can set the installation path in the corresponding dialog and record it in an *.iss file. When starting the silent installation the JRE is correctly installed into this path but the Java Webstart installation procedure doesn't care about this path and installs JWS in 'D:\Programme\Java Web Start'.

Verify Free Disk Space. Assuming you are installing the OS to the C: drive.

Change the install path for Acrobat Pro X

Hi everybody! I just downloaded the AcroX trial to see what's beef with the new release, but I ran into a very annoying problem:
I'm quite nitpicking about my Applications folder, and I installed all of my other Adobe software into an "Adobe" subfolder.
I just noticed that during the installation is not possible to easily change the installation path like you can do in other Adobe setups...
I found this in the KB
(http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html#main_Known_issues_on_Mac_OS)
"You cannot install Acrobat to a custom location." and other stuff...
The question is: do you have any idea of the priority of this bug? Will this be fixed anytime soon?
Thanks, Agia

Hi,
Just followed the link you gave. In the try option for Acrobat X Pro the dropdown only has options for Windows installers and not MAC Installers.
Secondly to answer your issue for customize installation to a path on OS 10.6, follow the following steps:
1) Mount the dmg on MAC
2) Launch the installer package
3) Click OK on popup that you need to close running instances of Acrobat
4) Click next to go to Read Me.
5) Click next to move to Installation Type screen where we have buttons "Install", "GoBack" and "Customize". Click on Customize
6) In this screen you will see 3 checkboxes "Application", "Browser Plug-In" and "Print Workflow" with columns as Package Name, Location, Action and Size
7) Corresponding to Application Checkbox there is Location specified (With a small folder icon) - Adobe Acrobat X Pro. Click on this to select your location (2nd column)
This is similar to what traditional Apple products installers do like XCode installer. There is nothing new in this.
Thanks,
Karan

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from? 65000 files trying to be transferrd from external to internal HD. I dont want itunes to manage my collection, just read it. thanks

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

How do i get the installation package for Adobe Bridge

Hello,
Our Creative services Department have taken a Creative Cloud account and they only want to install Adobe Bridge, however when i access the Creative Cloud account there is no installer for Adobe Bridge. Now i believe Bridge is installed as part of the installation package for other Creative Cloud products such as Photoshop, so how would i find the installer package for just Bridge?
Any help greatly appreciated

and it seems like I saw this somewhere,

Change the launch default to Adobe Reader 9 (instead of Acrobat 6)?

I have Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 6 both loaded. Until a week ago I could launch
PDF files in a broswer without difficulty. They would launch in Adobe Reader 9. Now when I try to launch a PDF in a browser Adobe Acrobat 6 launches and I get a message:
"The Adobe Acrobat / Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat version 8/9 is required."
It seems that Acrobat 6 is the default now for PDF files. How do I change the default Adobe Program that launches back to Adobe Reader 9?
Confused,
Simple Mind

Hii.
Go to any PDF file, Right click it ->Propoerties-> in open with select ADOBE READER 9 and OK...
I hope it will work. Or innopenwith option select reader 9 and click the check box below-"Always use this....."

Can I change the Installation disc for Creative Cloud - SSD drive is full

I have got a new imac with a 255GB SSD drive and a 2TB Data drive - I have half downloaded my Creative Cloud apps, and the SSD drive is full.
Can and how do I change the target drive to my empty Data drive to complete the installation
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you

Yes you can solve this issue by placing the applications on a other drive by selecting a custom installation location.
Click at the right top in the Adobe Application Manager after your user name, and select preferences
Select a alternate installation location.
Better: make some space on your SSD, performance of the application / loading time is increased when placing on a SSD.
Data storage / scratchdisks can be configured on the 2TD data drive.

How do I change the font size on Adobe Reader 8.1.2

I recently purchased an HP laptop running Vista. It came with Adobe Reader 8.1.2. I can't change the font size in a form that I am filling out. I can cut& paste a different font size into the form but not change the font size. Someone said that it is a free download so I won't be able to change the font size. Does anyone know a fix?

To change the font size in PDF forms, one needs to have Adobe Acrobat rather than Adobe Reader.
