Frustration!!! Trying to install Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 7 laptop

Why is this so hard to do?
I have a windows 7 laptop that is dying so I decided to replace it with another windows 7 laptop.  The two programs I use on the computer is Framemaker 11 and Acrobat 9 Pro.  Both are working fine on my old laptop.
I have deactivated framemaker on the old system and loaded it on the new with a hitch.  Acrobat 9 pro on the other hand will not load.  It says:
"Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate."
The new laptop came preloaded with acrobat reader 10 and a few other things.  I have uninstalled acrobat reader X, adobe cloud, adobe air and there is still a conflict.  What do I need to remove to get this working?
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug Thistle,
According to the error message that you are getting means that your computer has already a latest version of Acrobat installed.
You may download Adobe Acrobat cleaner tool on your machine and check if that detects any latest version on your computer if that does you can uninstall if that one if not licensed

  • I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code  what can I do?

    Hi,
    I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code . What can I do? I purchased CS5.1

    You can get the updates for the MAC from Adobe - Acrobat : For Macintosh, but apparently you already found that. Two possibilities that I can think of: 1. You have anti-virus enabled and that is causing the failure or 2. You are trying to install an update and skipped ones before it. If you start with the latest update, the download indicates the previous version required for the update. It looks like 10.1.12 can install over any previous version, so I would go for broke and install the latest.

  • Trying to install Acrobat Pro X, error regarding IE7 requirement, client has IE10 installed

    I am trying to install Acrobat Pro X on a Win7 client, and I keep getting an error after entering the serial # info about the software requiring IE7 or better to be installed.  The only option is to cancel the installation.  The client has IE10 installed.  How do I move past this?

    Thanks for the advice.  I tried what you recommend - uninstall Reader (10, in this case), install and run the cleaner tool, restart, then restart the installation.  Unfortunately, I get the same error.
    Any other thoughts?  I am logged into the client in the admin role.

  • Problems installing acrobat pro on windows 7

    i am on windows 7 and after i download and install acrobat pro, it gives me an error message when I launch which says: adobe acrobat has stopped working. I've downloaded and reinstalled three times and can't seem to get it to work.

    Hi terrylynnf53982955,
    Could you please let me know if you have installed Acrobat as a stand-alone applications or as a part of Creative Suite.
    Are you using the subscription or purchased license?
    Let me know.

  • Trying to install Acrobat Pro XI on Windows 2008R2 VM

    Our desktop guys ordered Acrobat Pro XI for some 32-bit Windows 7 VM's.
    We also have some server applications running 64-bit Windows 2008R2 that need it and I'm attempting to create a silent install for.  I used the customization wizard provided by Adobe and when I attempt to run the command line msi installation, my 64-bit Windows 2008R2 VM blue screens and reboots.
    After I bring the VM back up and attempt to run Acrobat, I get the error message "Please uninstall and reinstall the product  .. . .  Error 1".  Not real informative, so not sure where to go from here.
    The desktop guys sent me the media and gave me a license key.
    Question 1:  Do I need a 64-bit version of Acrobat Pro?
    Question 2:  Will a desktop license suffice on a server?
    Question 3:  I have 7 servers that require this installation, do I need a different key for each?
    Question 4:  Do I really need to license each one via the internet?
    Please help!!
    Thanks
    Mike

    You actually need more answers than you asking for. . . . That is to say you should start with the Admin Guide: Acrobat-Reader Enterprise Toolkit Home.
    You probably need a volume license. Read up on the server doc, look up the right EULA for virtualized environments, and read the section on granting offline exceptions/serialization/installation. Check out the Wizard Guide as well.
    Error 1 doesn't sound like an Acrobat error, but it could be. Make sure you have a clean uninstall before retrying. There's a cleaner tool on LABs.
    32 Bit is ok.

  • Frustrations Trying to Install CF 9 on Windows 7/IIS 7

    I am trying to install CF 9 (as a Developer Install) on Windows 7 Pro/32-bit and am going crazy.
    My box is running IIS7 and the CF install goes OK (I have it set to configure for all IIS sites). When I try to launch Administrator at the end of the install I get an Error 404 saying that index.cfm cannot be found (URL is http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm). The file is there, I can see it.
    I've followed some posts on the Internet regarding installing ISAPI extensions and IIS6 Management. When I use the "Web Server Configuration Tool" I can configure the IIS Default Web Site without issue. Nevertheless, when I try to lauch CF Administrator after exiting the Configuration Utility I get the same error.
    Are there any settings or pointers anyone can give as to how to get this working (I've already installed Adobe Flash Builder and ColdFusion Builder and I'd like to get this going).
    Thanks in advance.

    Yup, that did it.
    I actually had been made aware of the patch when I downloaded CF, but for some reason I thought it was difficult to install (I thought that you could only use the installer package if you could open Administrator). IAC I downloaded the appropriate patch file, ran it and Administrator ran. There was something in the install notes about reconfiguring the websites and removing the IIS6 Management feature but I'm not going to fool with anything because right now at least CF is running.
    Thanks.

  • Trying to install Acrobat on a Vista laptop, but can't find the installation icon in the Adobe Application Manager

    Hi, trying to get Acrobat installed on my Vista laptop but can't seem to find an icon for it in the Adobe Application manager.  I have a CC license and it installs fine on my Win7 but can't seem to figure out how to install it on my Vista laptop.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Normally if something does not appear in the download options it means the machine does not meet the tech specs for the product.  In this case, Vista is not in the tech specs for Acrobat Pro XI if that is what you are trying to install.  For whatever reason it skips from XP to Windows 7.

  • Installing Acrobat Pro X on Macbook Pro Retina

    I have tried to install Acrobat Pro X on my new Macbook Pro Retina. Since it does not have a CD player, I first tried by accessing the CD reader from another machine. But it was stuck during its progression saying "running package scripts...". So I forced the installer to quit and tried again, but this time I copied the installer on a USB drive. I ended up with the same problem, and I have found out about other MBP users who have this issue too.
    Any idea ?

    Hi amedre,
    I have checked your account and the serial number you have is a Volume License.
    You can go ahead and download Acrobat 10 Pro from : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
    and use the serial number to activate it on the new computer.

    Hi Susan,
    Please try the following:
    The path listed below points to the Library folder at the root of your startup disk, not the Library folder in your user home folder.
    Delete all the files from following folders:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/SL Store/
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/SL cache/
    And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/
    Then launch Acrobat, Accept EULA and enter the serial number again and check.
    Regards,
    Rave

    Nothing in the Acrobat 8.x product family is compatible with Windows 7 (or any contemporary OS).
    The Acrobat 8.x product family passed into End of Support way back -- (November 2011).
    The current release of Acrobat (XI) is compatible in Windows 7.
    Be well...

  • I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
    Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
    You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

  • I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for intallation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it.

    I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for installation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it. I doubled check everything on my computer and it is not installed. Even more, all my PDF files now show an HTML extension rather that PDF and only opens in my browser, which means the program is not here.
    How to re-install it, please, when the CC panel installer won't let me do it? Thanks!

    Try "Pacifist"!
    Pacifist is an application for Mac OS X that opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives, and more, and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package

    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

    Hi mrmacnology,
    Please check and ensure that you should not have any prior version of Acrobat already installed on your computer.
    Do you get any specific error message?
    You might try installing Acrobat from a different browser.
