Failure Notice when installing Adobe Reader 11  Administrator rights Win7

Have tried downloading ansd installing Adobe Reader 11 on my new Dell Vostro with Win 7 Pro. I am logged in as administrator but when I try to install Adobe Reader I keep getting a message that I do not possess the necessary administrator rights. Any suggestions? I've tried downloading and installing with both IE and Firefox and have checked that Java is enabled. I also checked that I am definately logged in as administrator. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ernesto

Try this
download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and save it to disk
right-click on the downloaded installer and select Run as Administrator

  • Adobe Acrobat losing file association when installing Adobe Reader X or XI (Using Cust. Wizard)

    Hello Adobe Forums,
    I'm an IT professionnal in a large company, and we've been dealing with an issue using this software.
    Using the "Adobe Customization Wizard 9", prior to version X and XI, the following option was available:
    Adobe Acrobat 9:
    Adobe Reader 9:
    As you see, the customization wizard of both software allowed you to leave Adobe Acrobat as the default PDF handler.
    Now, let's look at the Customization Wizard X
    Adobe Acrobat X: (XI has the same options)
    Adobe Reader X: (XI has the same options)
    Now here, we can see that in Adobe Reader X, we only have "Make Reader the default" or "Installer will decide which will be the default"
    I want to keep Adobe Acrobat as the default, so I choose "Installer will decide which product will be the default"
    Guess which software becomes the default? Adobe Reader....
    So what is happening here is that Adobe Customization Wizard X and XI will NOT let you keep Acrobat as the default, unless you execute a repair or reinstall Acrobat after installing Adobe Reader.
    Adobe Reader X and XI forces itself to become the default handler, in every option scenario we can find. Adobe Customization Wizard 9 would let you choose to keep Acrobat as the handler. Why was this removed in X and XI?
    This is very annoying and causing a lot of grief inside the company. Is there a solution for this?

    Use "LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES" in the command line when installing Adobe Reader to preserve PDF Ownership!

  • When installing adobe reader on my mac it states that the installation is complete, but on same screen it states the there is an internal server error and reader will not work

    when installing adobe reader on my mac it states that the install is complete, but on same screen its sets thaw an internal server error has occurred and reader will not work

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem on one of my Macs (MBP 15 Mid-2010 / OS X Yosemite): Both reader and Acrobat Pro download without a hitch. Both also install with no problem.
    But once you click the program to open, they both return "an internal error occurred".  
    I tried downloading three separate copies, and still get the same error message when I install and launch.  I've also uninstalled the previous installations via CleanMyMac2 to make sure it's no longer in the SSD.  Same results.
    Am using a new SSD as internal boot drive, with fresh / clean installation of OS X and Apps (previous internal HDD crashed) -- And am seeing errors not only with Acrobat, but also with LR5 which always comes up with a "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" -- inspite or uninstall, download and reinstall.  Not sure if it's a registry issue? (Not even sure if that's the case with OS X).
    Do I need to reformat the whole SSD? I hope not!
    Thanks

  • What do I do about Error 1328 when installing Adobe reader

  • Getting Object already exist error when installing adobe reader

    I'm unable to install any Adobe application programs on my Windows 7 machine.  I tried Adobe Reader XI, Lightroom 5.6, Photoshop CC, etc.  All resulted with "Object Already Exist" error.  I searched on Adobe site for fix, and there was one to delete Crypto file.  However, this resulted with the same error.  How can I install Adobe Reader?

    Your approach is correct in identifying the error.  I used ProcMon from Sysinternals (now Microsoft) and came up with the following events leading up to "Object already exists" error.  The error occurs after opening C:\Users\%account%\AppData\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-....... file.  If the Crypto directory is missing, MSIEXEC.EXE will create along with RSA subdirectory and file name starting with S-1-5.....  There were five NAME NOT FOUND events, and their sequence is
         Windows Installer Logging item in HKLM\SOFTWARE registry
         C:\Users\%account%\AppData\Local\Temp\MSI7058d.LOG (this file was created at the next step)
         Windows Installer Debug item in HKLM\SOFTWARE registry
         FontSubstitution in HKLM\SOFTWARE registry
         CTF Known Classes item in HKLM|SOFTWARE registry
    I don't know which one causing the error, but my suspicion is the last one. But I don't know how to fix it.  Is there anyone who can give me insight to what is happening and how to fix it?

  • Force language same as operation system when install adobe reader X

    We need to install adobe reader x English version or French version depend on language of user's operation system.
    I know i can change langue to force it same as operation system after installation, it can be found Edit, pererfernce,language.
    Is there anyway to force the option " same as operatio system" during operation system?
    I installed adobe reader x silently using command:  msiexec /qb- /i "adberder1000_fr_FR.msi" ,
    Is it possible to add abswitch /g langueID in the command line to force language same as OS language? How can I retrieve default OS langugeID?
    thanks

      I have multiple problems with Windows 7 Professional x64 & the Adobe products installed on my machine (English).
    I have a dual processor Intel Duo Core2 -  Dell Lattitude E6400XFR,  running Windows 7 Professional x64 Service Pack 1(English).
      Adobe, & Adobe Reader are installed properly & function okay for the most part, save for the very newest & fanciest of documents. Mainly, the issue I have is that Adobe/Reader are constantly attempting to update, & are able to download a version recognized as newer than the current version installed, then will not install completely or at all. Once that occurs it will then immediately demand to be updated by this newer version. It's a crappy loop that I have become familiar with & is lame.
      Either Adobe & Adobe Reader are problematic with Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 ENGLISH, or this dual processor Intel motherboard is the problem. The latter doesn't seem likely however, I have identified multiple problems with drivers & whatnot that do not function well or properly solely due to the motherboard. My Nvidia On Board GPU & the drivers & software would be the prime & most annoying example of something that hates my motherboard.
    I hope this isn't "Hijacking" your post, I am having a problem that sounds similar to yours, the international/localization issue(s) notwithstanding.

    Anyone encounter this problem?

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Error 160400 when installing adobe reader

    I got a hint there was an update available. I downloaded the update and when installing I got the message: error 160400.
    How can I solve this problem?
    I am using windows vista.
    Harry

    Hi,
    The error is related to the failure to access Windows Service information.
    It would be helpful if you could provide your current Reader version.
    Depending on what you have installed, there are different updates available here- http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html
    You can download appropriate Update directly and install it without Updater.
    Meanwhile, would it be possible for you to send me a content of the Updater log file?
    The file name is AdobeARM.log
    It can be found in the folder below on Vista systems:
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp

  • Error Message when installing adobe reader 9.1

    I have a relatively new HP Pavilion dv6936us Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I cannot get adobe reader installed.  I always get an error message or it says the install was interrupted.  VERY frustrating!  Please help.  I have tried the automatic download.  Also, the screen says " if download does not start automatically click here to download" and I have tried that too.  Neither work.

    Try being sure you are logged in as the administrator and have anti-virus turned off. Other than that, you should go to the Reader forum for that product.

  • Error 1406 when installing Adobe Reader 10

    We have rolled out Adobe Reader 10 to about 300 workstations.  About 6 of them so far are failing to install due to a 1406 Error see;
    Another error of the same flaver follows this one, but does not list a key name.
    When deploying with GP it simply fails.  If installed mannualy and the errors are ignored it appears to still work.  When looking at the registry it appears there is no 18DF081C... key to write the NoExplorer value to.  These machines do not have Reader installed according to the Add/Remove Programs.  I do know that at one time Reader 8 was installed.  I suspect that the first time through with this GPO it removed the old reader.  I am guessing there is some kind of trash left someplace.  I have tried a registry cleaner, but it did not help.  Anyone run into this?
    Thanks,
    Bobby

    Webroot anti-virus is the problem.  I went to a machine that I was unable to
    install Reader 10 on and first removed Webroot.  It installed just fine.
    I need to find out how to modify setting on Webroot to not interfere with the install.  If anyone knows I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks JainAkshat

  • Error 2331 when installing Adobe Reader 10.1.3

    Adobe automatic updater notified me that I had an update to install. I tried installing it, and got the following message:
    Error 2331. Error loading library MSPATCHA or finding entry point ApplyPatchToFileByHandlesEx
    I tried Microsoft Fixit, no change. I uninstalled Adobe Reader from Control Panel Add/Remove Software and downloaded Adobe Reader X again, and it won't install--I get the same Error 2331.

    One more suggestion; can you try to download and run the MSI installer?
    10.1.0 installer: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
    10.1.3 update: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.3/misc/AdbeRdrUpd1013.msp
    If you still get errors, please tell us your Windows version and service pack level.

  • Frustrated because I keep getting "action list not found" when installing adobe-reader.

    1. I had Adobe-reader installed and working but kept getting pop-up screens telling me to update.
    2. Each time I tried updating, an error-message showed up "action list not found".
    3a. So I thought deleting adobe-reader and doing a fresh install might work.
    3b. Using Goggle-Chrome, I still get the same error-message.
    3c. Then trying Internet-Explorer as a browser, I still get the same error-message.
    4. The real problem now is I have no Adobe-reader at all and that will make my wife unhappy.
    5. Operating-system is XP; I don't know how to tell if I have SP-2 or SP-3 if that makes a difference at all.

    This problem has been resolved; ultimately, I found out via Googling that XP-SP2-32bit can only handle Version 9.5.
    I am upset that Adobe kept telling me for weeks now that I needed to update but they directed me to an update my system is incapable of handling.
    Hence the error "action list not found". Dumb!!! I trusted them that they knew what they were doing.
    I felt it would help to uninstall what I had and do a fresh install.
    Now in that path, Adobe directed me to download version 9.0, which I did.
    Then somehow I found out that version 9.5 is the latest-greatest for my machine.
    Why did Adobe not make available 9.5 right away instead of 9.0??? Dumb again!!!!
    Nice product though; bad execution.
    I'm done venting.
