Error message, this patch package could not be opened

I have been unable to use the Adobe reader for sometime but I now really need it. I have tried updating, reloading, removing to reinstall but at every move I continually get the message above and I cannot get around it no matter what I try. I cannot even remove the program from the list as this same message keeps popping up and I cannot proceed. I need help!!! The original package that came with the computer was version 7 current is 11 but it has never worked and I am unable to continue the install due to the above message also cannot delete, I have deleted all adobe keys in the registry even that does not help....

Assuming that you are on Windows
download and run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
download and run the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

When I attempt to install Adobe Reader, I get the message, "This patch package could not be opened."

Any idea of what I need to do?

Thanks for your interest in my problem. My operating system is Windows
XP. I had an older version of Adobe Reader installed, but recently, my
computer became unable to view pdf files. So I decided to try to update
my version of Adobe Reader. Somewhere in the process, it was suggested
that I delete previous versions of Adobe Reader prior to installing the
new version, so that's what I did. Now when I try to download and
install the version 9 of Adobe Reader, I get the message that , "The
patch package could not be opened."

Let's check your Windows system.
1. Have you done all the important windows updates and service Packs on your system. If not do it now. START button, type in Windows Update and ENTER. Select 'CHECK FOR UPDATES'
2. Let's check your Windows system files for possible file corruption
SCAN and repair possible Windows system file corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.
3. Check your system for possible Malware. But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to this link download a free version of Malwarebyte.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
To start your computer in safe mode
Press and hold the F8 key as your computer starts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

Error 1635: This Update Package Could Not Be Opened

Recently I've been getting an Adobe Update Failed error popping up in my task bar:
I've tried the Microsoft FixIt listed as a solution for this error on the following page, but it made no difference: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-errors-acrobat-reader-windows.html
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I've tried fully unstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader and periodically I still get the same error.
The weird thing is though that I'm running v11.0.0.4, isn't this the latest?...
I've allowed Adobe Reader and Adobe Update through my Norton Internet Security firewall too. I've tried researching this error but the only thing I can find is old threads with broken links, or support details for Adobe Reader 8.

Thanks, weird as it still shows v11.0.0.4 being the latest on the main Adobe page?
http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
Anyways cheers, that file installed with no problems. I opened Reader and clicked the Repair Installation option too for good measure.
Will see what happens next time an update is available.

This Patch Package could not be opened

Adobe Reader 8.3.1 will not work. It can't be deleted. Adobe won't help unless I pay them $40.00. HELP!

What is your operating system & version?
What exactly means "will not work"?
If you are on Windows, try removing the corrupted Reader with http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
then reinstall the latest Reader version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

10.1.1 uninstall & 10.1.4 install problem. "This patch package could not be found"

Cannot fully uninstall Reader 10.1.1 or instal 10.1.4 as same Microsoft error message comes up:
"This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Window installer patch package."
Have tried uninstalling through Windows and then Advanced System Care uninstaller - same error.
Have tried installing Reader 10.1.4, as Adobe usually does uninstall of older version as part of installing newer version - same error.
Tried Adobe direct install - same error.
Checked forums but could not find entry for this error.

Remove the corruped installation using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Did you install the trial beforehand? If so, you should just
be able to
unlock the trial with your serial number.
If you installed the trial beforehand but it won't launch,
then try

Uninstall Reader X - Patch package could not be opened.

I am trying to uninstall Reader X in hopes that when I reinstall it some other issues will clear up. However, when clicking remove or update in Control Panel, I get the same result. "This patch package could not be opened...." Same message I have seen in a host of other postings.
Can I follow the same general instructions for manual uninstall that are in the knowledge base for Reader 8? Are there any additional steps/registry modifications? I am running XP/SP3.

You could try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove all traces of any existing versions of Reader. This utility is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can conflict with Win 7, but you can still find it in sites like http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
