How do i install reader in a Virtual Machine

I am a developer and need to install reader in an XP virtual machine running upon my Windows 7 desktop
I need to test out acrobat and IE 8
It gets to 34% downloaded and then fails.
In the xp machine i have turned off the firewall and removed the anti virus software
In the windows 7 machine i have turned off the firewall and turned off the anti virus software
Any other suggestions?

Download it on the host machine from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/, then copy it into VM.  Or run it in VM directly from the host folder.

  • How do I install Reader 11 to the directory of my choice?

    I have downloaded the Reader 11 for Windows installation file to my hard drive.  Now, how do I install Reader 11 to the directory of my choice?

    In Full UI mode you can use the "change destination folder" button to specify your chosen directory.
    Here is the example
    Else in command line you can provide INSTALLDIR="" parameter to install at custom location.
    Hope this helps.

    Assuming the virtual machine will be connected to the Internet I can only advise you to install antivirus in the virtual machine as well.

  • How do I install Reader to a PC that is not internet connected?

    I have a PC that is not connected to the internet.  How can I install Adobe Reader on it, as a normal installation goes directly from adobe.com to the PC.  I could download the software to a memory stick but there does not seem to be a single file available for this.  I have tried copying the contents of all the Reader files across to this PC, but as I expected, that does not work.  Please advise

    Hello David,
    Adobe Reader's offline download for Windows see: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/
    There you click through to the most current, complete offline version of the Adobe Reader. This installation file, you can carry around easily e.g. on a USB stick and also install on PCs that do not have Internet access.
    An important decision during the installation relates to the updates, therefore you should use the last option
    Good luck!

  • How can I install Reader to a non default location (i.e., d:\)

    I have a company netbook with very limited space on the ssd C:\ drive.  Running Win XP SP3.  Is there anyway i can install reader to another drive on this system?

    You can change the installation path when you install in UI mode via clicking on"Change Destination Folder" button. This button will allow you to browse in your computer drives.

  • How do i install reader on os x 10.9.4?

    hi guys i am having problems downloading and installing the latest update of reader and flash on my mac?

    as the original question stated "I'm having problems downloading and installing reader" so yeah i kinda did say it earlier.
    when i was trying to download it from the adobe reader download page i was having problems installing it. the process bar hangs and the whole installer is not responding. turns out that i think the .pkg file is missing from the installer because if you follow the instructions that they tell you to do, the files are not there. but when you download it directly from the tiny little link button that you have to search through pages and pages of things you will eventually find it!!!

  • I currently run Windows 7 on my iMac using the Parallels software on a Virtual Machine. I now wish to use Windows through bootcamp. How do I remove windows from the Virtual Machine

    I currently run Windows 7 on my Imac through a Virtual Machine format with the Parallels software. I now wish to remove Windows from the VM restore the Hard Drive to a single partition then install windows 7 using bootcamp. How do I go about it

    The virtual machine isn't a partition on your hard drive, it's just a file. You can delete the vm by going into Paralells preferences or just drag t to the trash. Bootcamp will partition your hard drive for a Win 7 install.

  • Enabling Virtualization Technology to Install Windows 8 on Virtual Machine?

    Hello…I have an HP HPE-310t Desktop computer that is currently running the 32-bit version of Windows 7.
    I'm interested in installing the Windows 8 Customer Preview on a virtual machine such as Virtual Box.  I've done a little bit of research on how to do this, but there is one thing I am unclear about, and so I'm requesting assistance here.
    The documentation I've read states my processor must support Virtualization Technology.  The processor is a quad-core, so I'm assuming it does.  However, the documentation also says Virtualization Technology is often disabled by default, and may need to be enabled to use it.
    I'm not sure how to do this.  I'm assuming it has to be done in BIOS.  Can anyone please tell me where to find the option to enable Virtualization Technology, or check to see if is already enabled?
    Thank you for your assistance.  J. Danniel

    Hello, and thank you for replying.
    I actually found the Virtualization Technology option in BIOS and enabled it.  I had no trouble installing Windows 8 on Virtual Box.
    However, while I'm sitting here typing this, I should say something:  I did install Windows 8 Customer Preview on my computer when it first came out.   (I did a full system backup with Acronis True Image prior to the installation.)
    Anyway, the installation went smoothly, and I installed a dozen or so programs on it with no problems.  When I installed a Thunderbird E-Mail backup program, I rebooted, and my computer froze at the HP Welcome/BIOS sign-on screen.  
    It just stayed there.  I shut the computer off for a minute or two, restarted it, and it froze again.  I began to feel a touch of panic.  I shut the computer off yet again, waited 15 minutes, and restarted it using the Acronis True Image boot CD.   Fortunately, it booted up, so I restored my backup.
    For the brief period of time I used Windows 8 on my actual system and not in Virtual Box, my reaction was highly negative.   I was VERY impressed with the revised Explorer--they finally got that right.  I actually LIKE the ribbon in it!
    But Metro?  The elimination of a Start button?  It's hell on earth to use a keyboard and mouse to get to a Shut Down, Log Off, or Restart option.
    I can't envision a scenario where I would upgrade my computer to Windows 8.  Messing with it once in a while in Virtual Box...yeah, I'll do that.  I can nuke the whole thing without much chaos.
    Thanks again!   Jd

  • How to convert offline ESXi 5.5U1 virtual machines to Hyper-V?

    Following on from my
    earlier question, I am having trouble working out how to convert my ESXi VMs to Hyper-V. Am I doing something really unusual?
    I have a ESXi 5.5U1 server at home for my home test lab. I want to convert this to Hyper-V Core 2012 R2. Target storage layout will look like this:
    Currently under ESXi 5.5, I don't have the C drive (using a USB flash to boot), and the RAID-5 and RAID-0 arrays are two separate VMFS volumes.
    I don't have swing kit to migrate, I have to repurpose existing hardware. I do have my Windows 8.1 workstation but that only has 900 GB free space.
    Some of my VMs have vmdks greater than 2TB.
    My plan was to
    In ESXi before rebuilding, move my VMs from the RAID-5 vol to the RAID-0 vol and then delete anything that wouldn't fit that's not strictly necessary from the RAID-5 volume.
    Shutdown ESXi and remove the USB flash drive.
    Install Hyper-V onto the System disk as C drive.
    Format the RAID-5 volume as NTFS (64k) and create a mount point into the C drive as C:\RAID-5. Put my VM disks in C:\RAID-5\VirtualDisks and the VMs in C:\RAID-5\VirtualMachines.
    Somehow convert the VMs from the RAID-0 VMFS volume to Hyper-V VMs on the RAID-5 NTFS volume.
    My confidence is low because I have tried to convert a new test machine created in ESXi 5.5 to a spare test Hyper-V 2012 R2 with the MVMC 3.1 converter and it failed. I also tried with the free 5nine converter and that failed too. I tried with and without
    the Guest Additions installed. Both conversions failed. I should mention I am in a workgroup, not a windows domain.
    Please help!

    May i inquire on why those two products failed? I had some struggles with both of them but eventually got things worked.
    Also you should try this one
    Starwind V2V convertor, it has worked for pure offline conversions for me as well. That was years ago, so hopefully it still works.
    Sure, here is the log from an attempt to convert a brand new VMware virtual machine which has Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard in it with no VM tools. http://pastebin.com/xdhzZ7tx
    Here is the log from an attempt to convert a Lubuntu linux VM: http://pastebin.com/Nc0E8Bip
    Both conversions attempted with MVMC3.1. Common error between them is
    12/24/2014 08:25:36 +00:00  [7]  VERBOSE:    Microsoft.Accelerators.Mvmc.Engine.DiskCopyFailureException: The virtual disk(s) attached to the source virtual machine were not successfully converted to VHD(s) and copied to the
    workspace folder path. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException: Some or all identity references could not be
    translated.
    I retried using 5nine converter and it worked this time, not sure why. Will not try a test with a BSD based distro (pfSense) and Linux.

  • Install R12 on a Virtual Machine hosted on Windows Vista

    I wanted to install Oracle EBS R12.1.1 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit but used to get .\jre\nt\1.6.0\bin\java error. Hussein Sawwan
    helped and said that this is not certified. He adviced me to create a VMWare Server. Following is my experience. I hope it is helpful. Any
    suggestions, additions are more than welcome. Thanks to all who helpmed me especially Hussein Sawwan, Helios, Gareth Roberts.
    I used to get .\jre\nt\1.6.0\bin\java error after the installation would zoom through 33%. That was because my staging area was not correct. The staging area should be just next to c:\ or whatever be the root directory (or drive). No space or special characters in folder name. My current structure is as follows:
    c:\r12stage. Under r12stage I have following folders and subfolders
    oraAppDB -- 49 Disks
    oraApps -- 11 Disks
    oraAS -- 3 Disks (This comes from the Rapid Install Tools)
    oraDB -- 5 Disks
    startCD -- 1 Disk plus other folders. Just copy startcd from the unzipped download and paste to r12stage area.
    I then created a virtual machine using VMWare Server (free download but need to register to get the serial number). Because I installed
    vmware server on Vista Home Premium 64 bit Host OS, I have to boot my machine by pressing F8 and then select Disable Digital Signature
    Enformcement. Thanks to Gareth Roberts for this tip. Create a vm and install Windows 2003 by selecting the .img file (first cd) by selecting Use ISO image and then path of the windows 2003 cd 1 (zipped file). start the virtual machine, that will install windows 2003 and then ask for location of 2nd cd. On the host machine, where the second win 2003 zip file resides, unzip the second zip file and name the folder as cd2. share this folder to the __vmware_user__ and from the virtual machine, map network drive to \\hostmachinename\cd2. Select this as the location of cd2 and complete the installation. Install MKS Toolkit from http://cygwin.com/ and visual c++ from Microsoft website. for information on this please refer to the following URL. Thanks to Muhammad Habib
    http://mhabib.wordpress.com/2007/03/14/installing-oracle-applications-e-bussiness-11i-on-windows-xp/
    After installation is done and Windows Update is run, share the r12stage directory on the host machine to the vmuser and launch rapidwiz.cmd from the command prompt and follow the instruction. For internet connection from the VM use Ethernet as NAT.
    If the installation errors halfway through, clean up your VM by following instructions in document id 292424.1 in MetaLink. If you dont have access to Metalink then I summarize the steps briefly over here.
    Launch the Registry Editor.
    Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software key.
    Select the Apache Group subkey and delete it.
    Select the Oracle subkey and delete it.
    Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control Set\Services.
    Carefully select and delete each service beginning with Oracle. For example, delete "Oracle Apache Server PROD_<nodename>".
    When you are finished, exit the Registry Editor.
    Navigate to the Environment Variables editing screen according to your system setup. For example, right-click My Computer and select
    Properties. From the Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button.
    Select the following system variables if created during the failed installation, and delete them: DISCO_JRE, DISCO_VBROKER, JSERV,
    VBROKER_JAVAVM, VBROKER_TAG, WV_GATEWAY.
    Select the Path variable, but do not delete it. Carefully edit it and remove any component with "Oracle" in the name, or that otherwise
    references the failed install. For example, delete "E:\11.5.10\test\visora\8.0.6\bin;".
    Save and exit System Properties.
    Open a command window and navigate to the C:\Program Files\ directory. Delete the Oracle subdirectory.
    If your Oracle Inventory directory was not C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory and was therefore not deleted in the previous step, locate it
    and delete it.
    Restart your machine
    It is now safe to remove the Oracle filesystem that was partially installed during the failed installation. Go to the base install directory,
    or top-level directory under which you installed either the Database Server (DATA, DB) or the Applications Tier Server (APPL, ORA, COMN)
    directories, or both. Note that you may choose to rename a directory before you delete it. This allows you to use the same directory name and start a new installation even before you finish the delete filesystem operation. For example, if you placed your filesystem in a "test" directory under
    "E:\11.5.10":
    C:\> E:
    E:\> cd 11.5.10
    E:\> rename test oldtest
    E:\> del /s /q oldtest
    In another window:
    C:\> cd <stage install directory>
    Q:\> rapidwiz.cmd
    After cleaning up if you still get error like RW-50004: Error Code received when running external process. Check log file for
    details. Running database Install driver for VIS instance, after 13% complte step 1 of 5 then I suggest that you re-create the machine and follow the above steps again. Including installing win 2003, mks tool kit , vc++, etc. It will be a success.
    Starting concurrent manager takes up enormous memory and slows down everything, so if you dont need it then dont ever start it. APPS password is apps and sysadmin user is sysadmin.
    Good luck.

    I had Vista 64-bit machine, installed Ubuntu in VMWare. Installed Oracle apps on 32-bit Ubuntu under VMware and was able to access Oracle apps. But, it is very very slow. It hangs sometimes and takes 15-20mins to display Ubuntu screens. Am I missing something here. I have a 4GB RAM and VMWare can not use all the 4GB. It may be using 2GB of 4GB. Am I missing something?
