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.

  • Error "actionlist not found" when installing adobe flash player update

    in trying to update adobe flash player i get error "action list not found"I have win XP 32 bit. Have removed old version from my computer before downloading newer version, still will not load.

    You should by now be using Firefox 11. (You may well have updated since you posted this question).
    Possibly you have tried to download and install the FlashPlayer version intended for Internet Explorer, instead of the plugin for Firefox. (See related thread [/questions/859758#answer-228076] ''When trying to update Adobe Flash Player, message says no ActionList found.'' )
    Others may also note there is or was problem with some Flash Upgrades not being detected , but should start a new thread of your own if you have problems. See article [[Yahoo! and at&t mail say your browser is blocking Flash]]

  • 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?

  • Action List Not Found

    I am trying to install flash player on Windows 7 and I keep getting "action list not found".    I am showing that it is installed in my control panel, but when I try to open a program from home school it is saying that I do not have flashplayer.

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

  • Can't install Adobe Flash due to "Aktionsliste nicht gefunden" error (action list not found).

    Hi there,
    I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.3 and I have trouble updating/installing the latest version of Adobe Flash.
    I had Flash installed but the normal update would fail with an "Aktionsliste nicht gefunden" error (action list not found).
    Then I uninstalled Flash (via the Adobe tool) and tried installing it several times from scratch but I'm always getting the same error.
    I now also disabled my Avast virus software before installing but still, same error.
    Please, there needs to be a solution to this. Does somebody know how to get around this error, so that I can install the latest version of Flash?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Wolfgang

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR

  • Cant Install Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.34 - Action List Not Found

    Hi, I am trying to install this new version of adobe flash, yet when I  am in the process of installing it says "Installation Encounter  Occurred" then below that it says, "Action List Not Found". Once I hit  done it just takes me to the trouble shooting page. I have uninstalled  the previous version already, also ran CCleaner scan and registry, and  in the alternative installation page (http://http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html)  I only found links for Adobe Flash 10.3 but not 10.3.181.34? I'm not  the most internet savvy person around but I am good at following  instructions and am willing to sit this out until I fix it if anyone  knows how to help me. Searching around on the internet didn't help me  much and I didn't want to pay the $39 for telephone support so I figure  this is the last alternative .  Any help asap would be much appreciated I have a program that says it  will only run with the latest update of flash. Thank you. Also my browser is running in 64 bit mode if that means anything, although I am not sure how to check if it is or not.

    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html contains the latest Flash Player 10.3.181.34 installers.
    This release will only work on 32-bit browsers.

  • HT6413 I keep getting a installation pkg error when installing icloud for windows 7 on my pc.

    I keep getting an windows installation error when installing icloud for windows 7.  I have tried installing manually without success.

    There is a very long way which is removing anything related to Apple including stuff in the registry.
    The short way is as follows. It worked for me.
    I have seen that in the forum EXCEPT the registry trick which is missing and does the different.
    1. Remove the Apple account from Outlook.  In my case a me.com account.
    2. Disconnect the connection to ICloud in the control panel of version 3.1.
    REBOOT and open Outlook to see that all traces of the email account and of ICloud are gone.
    3. Uninstall ICloud 3.1. I used REVO Uninstaller in Safe way mode. It removed some stuff in the registry from what I see; but not sure.
    4. Delete as much stuff as possible in the C \Program Files (x86) \Common Files \ Apple
    and C\Program Files\Common Files \Apple.  My computer is 64 bits.
    5. Go to the registry by typing regedit.exe or simply type regedit in the Start Box. Search for ICloud.  I deleted TWO entries related to ICloud. Otherwise, you will still see the ICloud control panel despite the fact that you removed 3.1.
    6. then I was able to install ICloud 4 immediately.  Upon restarting it asked me my email and password and added itseft to Outlook like it was before. Be aware that you address book in Outlook could be deleted, so do an export before.

    Hi,
    I haven't encountered the behaviour your experiencing (Disk Image file continuously mounting) and this seems to be an issue with the mounted Disk Image and not Flash Player itself. Have you tried ejecting the mounted Disk Image?  I Googled your scenario, among the many results returned, here are some possible solutions:

  • 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

  • HELP"apple application support not found when installing itunes after a hard drive crash and replace

    HELP"   error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
