ERROR:1417  ---CANNOT REMOVE OR UPDATE  7.0.8

I CANNOT REMOVE NOR UPDATE MY 7.0.8 VERSION OF ACROBAT READER. I'VE TRIED MANY FIXES TO REMEDY MY PROBLEM, WITH NO LUCK. THE ERROR MESSAGE I GET PROMPTS ME TO "CHECK WITH THE APPLICATION VENDOR TO INSURE THIS IS A VALID WINDOWS INSTALLED PATCH". PLEASE HELP ME REMOVE THIS NON-FUNCTIONING, OUTDATED VERSION WITHOUT DAMAGING OTHER PROCESSES.

Hi..I went ahead and ran the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. I used it to remove "Adobe Reader 7.0.8." After doing this, I checked in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to make sure that AR 7.0.8 was gone, and it thankfully was. Then I deleted the WICU, ran CCleaner's registry cleaner, rebooted, and tried to install Adobe Reader 9.0. When I tried this, I got the following error message (this occurred during the time when the installer was "writing system registry values"):
*****ADOBE READER 9 INSTALLER INFORMATION
Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39 F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D535}\ProgID.
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.*****
What should I do now? Do I need to do something about the "permissions" for this key?
Thanks to anyone with advice...

  • Error message: cannot remove older versions of apple software update

    I recently got a 30 gb ipod, and i cant install itunes 7. I originally tried installing it at first, and it said cannot remove older applications of Apple Software Update. So i installed itunes 4 to put music on my ipod. Then i tried again to install itunes 7 and i keep getting the same error message. Anyone else having this problem? Can anyone give me some suggestions please?

    I would first try and remove both iTunes and Quicktime prior to doing the install of iTunes. The following link will show you how to remove both programs. Make sure you do Step 16 as it is usually Quicktime that causes problems with the upgrade.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    If it will not let you remove the programs, you can try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. The download is about 1/4 of the way down the page. Good luck.

  • Cannot remove an update request in Mac App Store

    A friend used my macbook pro to purchase an app. I no longer wanted that app and deleted it.  However, the Mac App Store keeps asking me to update the app and when I click on 'update' it asks for my friend's App Store ID.  I would like to remove this update request so I can get back to using update all.
    Anyone know which file on my Mac holds these requests?

    Any ideas on what that file is called?
    Yes, it's called a pirated app. Most of the times that folks see an update for Angry Birds and an Apple ID of someone else, it means that they have a pirated app. Angry Birds is not on their Mac, but someone has cracked an app that is sold in the Mac App Store (MAS) with the MAS-receipt from the free Angry Birds app.
    This is the method that I came up with last year when pirated apps first started showing up after the advent of the MAS.
    Finding a pirated app -
    When a stranger's Apple ID appears on your Mac in conjunction with an update for an app that you have never installed, you have a pirated app on your Mac. This pirated app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from the Angry Birds app acquired by the person whose Apple ID you see.
    You may not have realized that it was a pirated app when you installed it. You may have believed that it was a trail version or a "free" version.
    All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
    Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.

  • Help! Cannot remove or update Reader 9.3 in Windows 7

    Hi,
    I am running Windows 7 with Firefox 3.6 and OpenOffice 3.2 on a Lenovo laptop with 200 GB hard disk, most of which is free. I had Reader 9.3 installed, and it was running fine. I kept getting notifications from Adobe that I should perform an update. So I attempted to do so. The update crashed and returned Error 1402. So I tried to uninstall with the Windows uninstaller. The uninstaller crashed and returned Error 1402. So now I can neither fix Reader 9.3 nor get rid of it. And I cannot use it. Can anyone tell me how to get the installer/uninstaller to work, or how to force a manual uninstall?
    Thanks!

    By the way, I do have administrator rights.
    When I mentioned "sweating blood" I was referring to "seizing ownership" of the subkeys, as detailed here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/71cdd66a-75ce-4e79-bace-8 9637e0dacae
    Sometimes I had to go up a level or two before I could influence the subkeys. And sometimes I had to add a new key. In a few instances I had to name the key "command" or "win32" or whatever Adobe was looking for. In other instances I added a "new key" and then the subkeys that belong to the key in question appeared out of nowhere. In cases like these, I deleted my "new key" and proceeded to adjust the permissions on the subkeys. Since I was always going back to the same header keys, after a while I started adjusting the permissions on all the subkeys of the headers I was using: for example. if the header was HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe, I would adjust the permissions on all the subkeys. After each registry adjustment, I tried to install the program. I found that I was constantly being sent back to the same registry "headers", so I started to adjust the permissions on all the subkeys of these headers. I believe that this shortened the process.

  • Cannot remove the access control entry object on the object because the ACE isn't present

    Hello,
    I am very new to using Powershell and Exchange Management Shell, and have no prior experience using either of these tools. However, the software I am installing requires me to use the EMS tool in order to set certain permissions for a user in Exchange, which
    will be like the admin account. 
    The command I am attempting to run follows as:
    Get-ExchangeServer | Remove-ADPermission -User $newusername -Deny -ExtendedRights Receive-As -Confirm:$False 
    This throws me an error saying:
    cannot remove the access control entry on the object because the ACE isn't present. I've done some research, and have found that this error is quite common, but the solutions do not apply to what I am specifically trying to accomplish. I am simply trying
    to remove the Receive-As permission for the admin user that I just created.
    Once again, I am very new to Exchange and Powershell, but if there is any advice anyone has, it would greatly appreciated.

    I ran this command, and a very long list was displayed, it looks like everything is there.
    The weird thing is that I was able to run a previous command which granted Receive-As access to the user I am creating: 
    Get-ExchangeServer | Add-ADPermission -User $newusername -accessrights GenericRead, GenericWrite -extendedrights Send-As, Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin -Confirm:$False 
    The description for the commands to run read to 'grant permissions and to revoke denies, if present'. I'm not sure what this means, but the second part of this pertains to the second command that I am having trouble with:
    Get-ExchangeServer | Remove-ADPermission -User $newusername -Deny -ExtendedRights Receive-As -Confirm:$False

  • Cannot remove this sync group because one or more databases are currently provisioning,

    I have a problem with a SYNC group within my development Azure Database.
    It been stuck in "processing" state last December and has never recovered.
    I have since setup a new Sync Group to sync the data between my cloud database and my local database.  The new Sync Group is working properly.
    It bothers me that the old one is still out there, and I would just like to remove it, but I get the following error message:
    Cannot remove this sync group because one or more databases are currently provisioning, 
    re-provisioning, de-provisioning, canceling sync or synchronizing. TracingId=fe9d220c-56c7-791f-ac0f-ea26989e02a1
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to delete the failed SyncGroup from Azure?

    Hi jstevenson72,
    How about using the DeprovisioningUtil tool? With DeprovisioningUtil tool , you can manually clean up all objects by running the deprovisioning utility from the same folder where the Data Sync Agent gets installed.
    Besides any of the following can result in a failure to delete a sync group.
    • The client agent is offline. Be sure that the client agent is online then try again. Reference : 
    SQL Data Sync Troubleshooting Guide.
    • The client agent is uninstalled or missing.
     If the client agent is uninstalled or otherwise missing:
    1. Remove agent XML file from the SQL Data Sync (Preview) installation folder if the file exists.
    2. Install the agent on same/another on-premise computer, submit the agent key from the portal generated for the agent that’s showing offline.
    • The SQL Data Sync (Preview) service is stopped.
    1. In the Start menu, search on Services.
    2. Click Services in the Programs section of the search results.
    3. Find the SQL Data Sync (Preview) Preview service.
    4. If the service status is Stopped right-click the service name and select Start from the dropdown menu.
    • A database is offline.  Check your SQL Database and SQL Server databases to be sure they are all online.
    • The sync group is provisioning or synchronizing. Wait until the provisioning or synchronizing process finishes then retry deleting the sync group.
    And for Azure issues, I would like to recommend you post the question in the Azure SQL Database forum at
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/azure/en-US/home?forum=ssdsgetstarted. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    There is also a similar thread for your reference.

    Hi Everyone,
    When i try to update to 1.2 of my Video iPod (30GB), i always receive "ipod cannot be updated. Unknown error -1417"
    I use Windows 2000 SP4 (with latest patches&updates) + iTunes 7.0. Is this a known bug with iTunes or something wrong with my iPod ?

  • When trying to update or add new apps to our daughters iTouch she gets and error saying "cannot connnect to iTunes stores."  What to do?  We have reset the password, gone into the apple store and so much more.

    We are trying to update and add new apps to an iTouch and we get an error saying "cannot connect with iTunes store." We have already reset our password.

    Hello jaybearden,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
