Failed Adobe reader updates; uninstalled, then install failed

It gave me ERROR message: 
Error 1310.Error writing to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\plug_ins3d\drvDX9.x3d. Verify that you have access to that directory.
Does anyone know...  HOW do I fix this?

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.

  • Adobe Reader update will not install?

    Hi
    I have a ASUS laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1/64-bit OS
    I have my computer set to receive & install updates automatically for Adobe products. I have an Adobe Reader install program that will not complete it's install. The install program starts to install but
    then it just gets stuck (the bottom picture is where it gets stuck) & will not complete the install. The top picture is the message that appears after 15 or more minutes of the bottom picture Any suggestions on how I can complete the install would be appreciated. I added a couple of screen shots. Thanks

  • Adobe Reader Updates Fail - Always. Why?

    No Adobe Reader has ever updated successfully on any computer I have ever owned. Other parties' product updates invariably succeed. To update, I must completely uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install from scratch. I have this problem only with this product. Moreover, Adobe Reader updates have never worked on any computer I have ever owned, bar none.
    Why just Adobe Reader?

    Are you talking about updates or upgrades. Upgrades require the download of the new version, typically uninstall of the old version, and then the install of the new version. If updates, just what errors are you getting? Just saying it does not work does not help us help you. You might also ask in the Reader forum.

  • Adobe Reader update 11.0.09   Broke my mouse magnifier.  I uninstalled but now I get prompts to install.  How do I get rid of the prompts?

    My gawd this site is the most ridiculously difficult site I've ever seen.  Round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows.  Will someone please tell me how to make the prompt for Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 go away??   It already shows that number was d/l'd in Sept. 2014.  I d/l'd it the other day and it broke the magnifier on my microsoft 5000 mouse.  I use that a LOT.  I can't lose it.  I uninstalled the update and now I get prompts continuously.  What to do? 

    Thank you I will try that.  Why am I being prompted to d/l an old update?  I didn't even know there was a more recent one. 

  • I get an error 1303 when I try to install Adobe reader update.

    I have tried three times ti download and install the Adobe Reader Update. It gets to 97% installed and then I get error 1303. I checked the troubleshooter but it hasn't got solutions for Windows 7 Home 64 bit O/S's. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Without the information in the error message I am unable to help you.
    One question: did you run the installer as an Administrator user?

  • Adobe reader updater is ready to install but won't -- need help

    adobe reader  updater is ready to install but gets stuck on step 2 -- need help

    It's OK.  I finally got Reader XI installed.  But once installed, the program would then lock up and show an error message whenever I tried  to open any of my existing PDF docs.  So I finally just gave up and deleted Reader XI from my system.  Fortunately, my existing version of Reader seems to work just fine.  Maybe I'll try again later after Adobe has worked out the kinks with Reader XI.  But thanks anyway for responding--no further help needed now.  I'm out.

    what is the problem?
    Well, you're not telling us anything, that's the problem. No offense, but really, just saying that something doesn't work is not gonna yield any answers that would help. We wil lat least need a tiny bit of info about your system - operating system, possibly hardware specs, definitely info about security tools and otehr Adobe software...

    I have an Adobe Reader Updater, but am afraid to install becuase it is in German. Please advise.

    From where did you get that "updater"?  What is its name?  What is your operating system?  What is your Reader version?

  • Adobe Reader/Acrobat Is not Installed

    I get an error on machines on our work network that says Adobe Reader/Acrobat is not installed. However most cases it is installed on the machine and in most cases it turns out to be the 8.1.1 version of Adobe reader. So what we have noticed is that the permissions do not seem to be right with the .pdf file extention. We manually add the users, power users group to the file extention and then we grant them full control over the extention and in most cases that as well will not work. The next step would be to uninstall 8.1.1 Adobe reader and then reboot. Upon the restart we will log on and install the 8.1.2 update. Sometimes this works but then again I have noticed that the users, power users group is not in the .pdf file extention. Then we will add them in and yet the user will still have the same error message. We have fun out of ideas and the other bad scenario is that this is free software and its very difficult to get support for. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
    Best,

    The key, during both life and death, is to recognize illusions as illusions, projections as projections, and fantasies as fantasies. In this way we become free.

  • I have just downloaded firefox 3.6.11 and adobe flashplayer update and adobe reader update. Now I cannot get firefox to open. I have tried removing the program but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open

    I have just downloaded firefox 3.6.11 and adobe flashplayer update and adobe reader update. Now I cannot get firefox to open. I have tried removing Firefox but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open. I have waited a long time but nothing has happened so I am getting desperate Thanks -- Jerry

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • Adobe Reader Updater download

    I keep getting a message that a new version of Adobe Reader Updater is available. I don't want to download from the Updater message itself, instead would like to download directly from Adobe downloads, wherever that might be. I've been scouring their site and can't find it anywhere.
    One other pertinent question, actually: do I really need the new Updater? What will happen if I never get it? (Currently installed Reader 8.1.2)

    Thanks Niel,
    I don't want to use the Updater to install the updates, but just to find out if there are any, which I would then get from Adobe downloads.
    I guess if it just stops working at some point I can always go to the Adobe website from time to time to see if there are any new ones. I suppose the new Updater version might be included in the next Reader Update anyway.
