Does the Adobe Reader installer modify folder permissions at install time?

From the behavior I have observed, it does; however I would like to confirm this with someone. If so, is there a specific reason this is being done and what proccess is being used, for example does the installer remove all permissions from the folder then add permissions or does it remove only the users that are not needed then add new ones? Also there are two custom actions in the MSI that I am curious about, LockFilePermissions and LockRegPermissions. It appears these are the actions that are removing the default permissions. Can anyone provide any insight as to why this is needed?

Anyone?

  • Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out?

    Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out at 64 percent on Windows XP?
    I am currently running version 9.5.2.
    Does anyone have a solution please.

    Hi,
    This "timeout at 64%" issue has been reported more than a few times  here.
    You can try direct download from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    If you can dedicate some time and help to investigate the issue, here is what I would ask:
    Before trying the link I have provided, can you please enable verbose MSI logging and try to install Reader the way you did originally - I assume that you used Adobe.com, right?
    If it fails again at 64%, please find the latest MSIxxxxx.log file in the Temp folder and send it to me.
    To enable Windows Installer logging
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300
    ...open the registry with Regedit.exe and create the following path and keys: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
    Reg_SZ: Logging
    Value: voicewarmupx
    The Temp folder on Windows XP is
    C:\Documents and Settings\[YourUserName]\Local Settings\Temp

  • How do I stop the Adobe Reader Installer from crashing?

    I downloaded install_reader10_en_air_mssa_aih.exe and this popup appears:
    Microsoft Visual Studio Debugger
    An exception occurred. Process will be terminated. (Exception address is 00413E6C).
    If I leave it open for a while, it eventually says:
    Just-In-Time Debugging
    An exception 'Runtime Error' has occurred in Script.
    However, no debuggers are registered that can debug this exception. Unable to JIT debug.
    When I tried opening a second copy, I did not get this popup, but instead received a different message:

  • Does the Adobe Reader plugin work with Android browsers?

    I have a Galaxy Tab and I'm trying to access an eBook in Chrome, but it opens each page as a separate file using one of my reader apps.  It works on my desktop in Chrome, and I checked the plugins and it's using Adobe Reader.  Does the mobile version of Chrome not support the Adobe Reader plugin?  Does any mobile browser support the Adobe Reader plugin?

    Hi, 
    When you open a PDF in chrome, you get option to open the file in other applications. If Adobe Reader is installed on your phone, you would also see an option to open the file  in Adobe Reader. Can you please try that.
    Thanks,
    Shefali

  • Error in the adobe reader installation

    I need a help to install adobe reader. when trying to install software of any link available on the network the following error message appears in the installation: the path my documents or the volume is invalid. Insert it again. sorry for the translation because I used the google translator.

    Sorry, I don't understand this part "any link available on the network".
    Anyway, assuming that you are on Windows, it seems that the registry contains an invalid path to your 'My Documents' folder.

  • When I open the Adobe reader file, I have to click several times

       I have a problem in this Adobe Readear program.
    When I open the file, I have to click several times and then the file open.
    It does not open the file at a time.
    I install again and again. But it doen't get better.
    What do I do?
    I would appreciate a prompt reply.

    I don't know what is causing that; all I can do is guess.
    Can you keep Task Manager (Processes tab) open in a smaller window, then double click on a PDF file in another window.  Does AcroRd32.exe come alive for a very short time, then disappear?
    You could also use a Tool like Process Monitor to find out what's going on.  Set the filter to Process Name = AcroRd32.exe before you start.

  • Adobe Reader Installer does not work

    I am trying to install Adobe reader on Windows 8. I downloaded Adobe Reader the Clicked the downloaded file and gave the permission. Then the Adobe Reader Installer window will show up but it's empty and has nothing on it. When I close it won't close either. I have to use windows task manger to close it. I tried to download it with another browser but still getting the same problem. I made sure that flash plug-in is working too. I used the direct link. Still can not install it.

  • Adobe Reader Installation repeats

    I am trying to print an easyjet boarding pass.
    When I click on 'check in all passengers' I get an Adobe page telling me to install Adobe Reader which I do.
    Then I repeat the process and Adobe Reader installation Step 1 appears again.
    If I install Adobe Reader once again it tells me that it is already installed.
    So I am going round in circles and am unable to print my boarding pass.
    I had the same problem when I tried in the UK in July. After 2 days it fortunately cleared.
    Can you help me please?
    Many thanks

    My apologies, I explained very badly.
    I get to the easy jet booking page for checking in
    Now if I click on Check in all passengers up comes the Adobe Reader “Install Now” page.
    (If I click on “go here” I also get the Adobe Reader installation page again).
    If I try to install A.R. again, it tells me that it is already installed.
    And the I have to start with easyjet Check in all passengers all over again and the same performance is repeated!
    I cannot get the pass out at all.
    Printing - if I ever get something to print - will be no problem but I cannot get to that stage.
    Thanks again for all your trouble.

    So you can get the pass to open then but now it's just printing that causes this?
    Can you save the pdf to your desktop (or somewhere you can find it) and open it within Reader itself rather than from within the browsers plug-in? If so, can you now print?

  • Where do I put pdfs on Samsung Galaxy SII so I can view them using the Adobe Reader App?

    I have PDF files on my PC that I'd like to view on my phone.  I downloaded the Adobe Reader expecting a folder to appear that I could copy these PDFs to.  Rather like with Kindle.  It didn't. Where do I put the files so I can display them using the Adobe Reader App?  Of course when I open the app at the moment, I get 'no files available', obviously, I don't know where to put them.  I'm probably missing something very simple but your help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    I solved the problem.  I manually created my own Adobe PDF folder by connecting the phone via usb to my PC, Windows Autoplay gave me the option to 'Open device to view files'. Explorer then displayed all the folders on the phone.  I created an Adobe PDF folder manually and copied the PDFs I wanted to view into that folder.  Adobe Reader then found the files without a problem.  I clearly was missing something quite simple but something I'm sure a lot of people would miss.  Perhaps if the next version of Adobe Reader for Android created this folder automatically, like Kindle and Kobo and other readers do, it might save a lot of people a bit of a headache.
