Error installing Reader 9?

I get error 1402: cannot open key "unknown\.fdf\acroexch.fdfdoc\shellnw. Has anyone else encountered this and how did you get around it?

I am equally frustrated with Reader 9 as it seems to constantly clash with Vista and will not run on my computer.  I used the Windows Install Cleanup as suggested by another user, as I couldn't uninstall my partially corrupt, non working Reader 9 programme.  After a couple of attempts I was able to uninstall correctly.  I then re-booted and downloaded Reader 8.1 and it is finally working.  Thank you to others for their information.
I guess the problems stem from Vista as there seem to be so many programme corruptions going on with this.  We didn't want to buy Vista but seemed to have no option as they are sold as standard.  Automatic programme updates cause most of the problems, so disable them if you can.
Since we got our new computer we have had to re-load our printer drivers and software so many times, as Vista keeps corrupting everything - arrrgh!

  • Error Installing Reader X in XP; please help!

    I have a fully updated installation of XP32. When I click the downloaded exe for Reader X (and the actual download begins) it stops about halfway through withe the following:
    Internet Explorer Script Error
    An error has occurred in the script on this page

    Error: 'ActionLaunchAdobe' is undefined

    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
    Yes/No
    Neither option lets the download continue. How do I go about getting Reader?

    I think I got it, nevermind.

    I recently loaded OSX mavericks on my Imac. I now find I cannot open any Adobe products from CS5. The error message reads " to open Adobe illustrator CS5.app, you need to install a JAva SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check and install one? I try to install but get the error" download error". As far as i know I'm using Adobe Java 7. None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.

    This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
    I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked  OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks!

  • Getting error message when trying to install Reader 9 on Win 7 64 bit w/IE 9

    I hope I can be concise and not have this all sound too convoluted but I am so confused by this time that I may not be able to hide it.   I have recently bought an HP Omni 220 PC, 64 bit, with Win 7, Intel Core i7, and IE9.  Reader didn't come installed and I have been battling for weeks now trying to get it set up.
    I couldn't get Reader 10 to install so I installed Reader 9 thinking to update to 10.  While I can open and read PDF files beautifully on my desktop, Reader 9 allowed me to open .PDF files online only about 2 times and then stopped.  When I tried to open a PDF link my IE 9 would crash and recover and tell me some problem had caused IE to have to close and recover.  I tried 'repairing' the installation through the "Repair" option on the drop down menu which you get when you right click on the .msi installer.  When the repair is running I get an error which reads:
    "Warning 1909.Could not create shortcut Adobe Reader 9.lnk.  Verify that the destination folder exists and that you can access it."
    I have no idea what destination folder this refers to or how to fix it.
    I uninstalled Reader 9, attempted again to install Reader 10.  I think I've figured out that the 10 installer (which disappears and nothing happens when I try to run it) is actually a program different from the actual installation program but I fear I'd just run into this same destination folder boo-boo with the 10 installation as I have the 9 installation.  At least the 9 will run without disappearing.
    In short, finally, how can I fix this Warning 1909 to get Reader 9 installed so that I can actually read PDF files in IE9 and hope to update to 10?
    Thank you,
    SouthCountryMom

    Ok, I have now gotten Reader 10 installed, can open files from my desktop but IE 9 keeps crashing when I try to open PDF files even though I exited and relaunched IE 9.  I did take ownership of all the folders containing Reader 10 and then clicked OK when I got the error notice about the shortcut being installed. I did make a copy of the crash error report and it reads as follows:

  • Trying to install Reader 9.1 - error 1402

    So I'm trying to install Reader 9.1. I'm using Windows XP, Firefox 3.0.11. The installation gets to about 98%, and then I get an error message that says:
    Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEY\LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    Um, what? Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

    Thank you for the response, and sorry it took so long to respond in my own thread.
    I tried using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, but it still doesn't work. I opened up Registry Editor, and browsed to the key it said was missing. It doesn't look like I have that key - the only thing in there is something that says (default) in the name column, type is REG_SZ, and under data it says (value not set). I have no idea what any of this means, and I'm also not sure how to see what permissions I have. Can you make any sense of this?

  • Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe

    Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning  tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader  11 is removed  from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is  like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11.  also tried:
    1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled  2. installed from different locations  3. removed adobe key from
    local machine and tried to install

    Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
    The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines.  However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE.  Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
    Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

  • Repeated Error Messages when installing Reader 9.3 on Win7

    Recurring problem trying to install Adobe Reader 9.3 on WIN 7 PRO.
    ERROR 1305 - installation can't find AcroRead.msi - And the file is sitting in the Reader folder!
    ERROR 2203 - installer cannot open DB (e06734.ipi) SYS Error (2147287035) - This is a new error message that started today???
    Have never had a problem downloading and installing Reader, it's the most straightforward download out there.  Downloading directly from the Adobe website, tried auto-install directly from the download - and - saving download to folder and installing.  What's wrong?

    Believe I have discovered the problem - C:\Windows\Installer has no files/folders - it is empty!  I can't install because there are no WIN files to run the installation app.
    Where and Why the files vanished is something known only to Microsoft.  Does anyone know how to restore the Installer folder in WIN 7?  None of my backup's help.
    Microsoft forums/support have only updates for prior versions - which I cannot install because Installer doesn't exist.

  • Is there a simple fix to error 1719 in Windows 8 when trying to install Reader?

    Is there a simple fix to error 1719 in Windows 8 when trying to install Reader?
    Have tried the MS fixit tool with no success.
    There doesn't seem to be a simple fix other than the complicated manual registry changes I have seen.
    Thank you.

    Pat:
    Yes, this is where I saw the article detailing the MS "fixit" link...that didn't do it (other than removing Reader for me.  The rest of the fixes I see involved either modifying the registry in some way all the way up to completely re-installing the system software (which is kind of tough as I bought the HP computer with Windows 8 already installed).
    I am not keen to try modifying the registry...
    I agree, it has nothing to do with Reader but thought this has probably affected many others which is why I posted here.
    Thanks.

    Can't open PDFs, Initially received runtime error,updated Reader - new error Adobe Reader has stopped working, uninstalled re-installed same error message Adobe Reader has stopped working

    Assuming that you are in Win (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from 
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

    getting error code 150110 when installing Reader on Win7 and there is plenty of disk space.  Help!

    Hi pat27,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Do you have any previous version of Reader installed, if yes and it is 9 or above. Uninstall that using Adobe Reader cleaner tool:  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Once that is uninstalled restart your machine and try install again.
    Also you may try to create a new user profile with Admin rights and try to install again.
