I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive.

I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive as my C drive is much smaller than my storage drive.

Still, you can install the Reader folder on any drive you want using the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Use the Change Destination Folder button at the bottom of the install panel.

How can I install Adobe Reader on my F: drive (Windows XP)

I have an old computer with a limited C: drive. My F: drive is much larger. I want to install Adobe Reader on my F: drive. How can I do this.?

Assuming that you want to install the English version of Adobe Reader 9.3, download this installer
http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi
Run it, and once the installer is initialized, you will be presented with this panel
Click 'Change Destination Folder...' and you can specify exactly where you want it to install.

HT3799 I want to install Adobe Reader for an attachment that I cannot open. The Keychain comes up with password. I forgot my password how do I retrieve it?

I want to install Adobe Reader for an attachment that I cannot open. The Keychain comes up with password. I forgot my password how do I retrieve it?

You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

How do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?????

how do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?

I don't know if this will work; it will certainly not create a "portable" Adobe Reader.
But it may install on the flash driver, to be used only on the computer that installed it.
Download and run the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
On the Reader setup panel, click on 'Change Destination Folder' and select your flash drive.
Let us know how that goes; I am curious...

How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

Hello!,
I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
Thanks,
Marcus Bale

Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.

How can I install Adobe Reader 11 to a drive other than C:\?

I downloaded Reader 11, but at no point during the installation process am I prompted for an installation location. How can I install this to a drive other than the C:\? I keep my C:\ and data storage drive separate so in the event the OS crashes I won't lose my data. I have limited storage capacity since I'm on a laptop so I didn't make my C:\ very large, so that I would have more room for my D:\. Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
LT Gannon

having data on a different drive is a good idea. installing programs on a drive different from you os containing drive is generally not a good idea. but if you have the expertise and are sure of what you're doing:
mac: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/mac/11.x/11.0.00/misc/

How to install Adobe Reader on the D drive?

I have to install the Adobe Reader program on a disk D, but I have not asked, and they set it on the C drive. How to solve this problem?
Message was edited by: BENQ LSDM 19\"W T91W 5MS S

You should be able to select a custom location on the second install page by hitting the "Change" button. Still, some components will always end up on your system root drive. It's inevitable and for Reader the difference would be minor....

How to Install Acrobet Reader 9 on Different Drive

Does someone know how to direct acrobat rader 9 toa different drive when installing? It always defaults to drive C. I want it on drive D. Help!

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of references to registry files in \Windows\System 32 from within Reader. The registry keys likewise point to a program in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader folder.
Unless you are capable and willing to go in and rewrite the code for each and every single reference in every last file of the program so that they reference a registry on a separate drive from the program itself, and vice-versa, you will find that it won't work, and if it does it'll keep crashing, and giving you errors all the time.
There are portable readers which are designed to run without the registry references (like from a Flash drive) but they won't function as well as Reader in every case.
You might want to try running your disk cleanup, defragmenting your C:\ drive, and running a compression to free up file space.
Another thing I like to pass along is a"deep cleaning" Disk Cleanup tool
Disk Cleanup can clear out a lot of old, unused, and junk files from your hard drive. Things that clutter up the drive, and make defragmenting take a lot more time than it should. Here's a neat way to clear up more unused files on your system than Windows™ Disk Cleanup utility will do on it's own:
c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sageset: 1
c:
cd \
cd c:\windows\prefetch
del *.* /q
Copy the code above and paste it into a document using Notepad or Wordpad (Do not use Microsoft™ Word™, or Corel™ WordPerfect™). Save the file as "clean.bat" (minus the quotes of course), a Windows™ batch file. To do this click, Save As instead of Save, and choose all files from the File Type drop down menu. Save it to your desktop.
Double click the batch file, and it will open a configuration tool for your Disk Cleanup utility. You will see a lot more checkboxes in the list than your regular Disk Cleanup shows. Check EVERYTHING. Don't worry, these are all files your system doesn't use.
Once you have clicked all the checkboxes, click OK and the window will close. You have now set your Disk Cleanup to thoroughly clean your Hard Drive.
Now we need to go back to the batch file. Right click it, and select Edit. It will open in Notepad or Wordpad, depending on which one you made it in. When it opens, go to the first line, where it reads "sageset", and change it to "sagerun" (again, minus the quotes, of course) and save it. You don't need to choose a destination or file type. Just save it.
Now double click the batch file again, and it will run the Disk Cleanup with your deep cleaning settings.
Copy the batch file to your documents folder and any time you need to run it, just double click it. Now here's another tip that will free up a lot of hard drive space on top of the deep clean.
Also:
If you open the regular Disk Cleanup (Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Disk Cleanup), when it opens there is a More Options tab at the top of the window. Click the tab, and at the bottom you should see a section referring to System Restore and Shadow Copies (Vista) or System Restore (XP).
Click Clean Up to remove the extra restore points and Shadow Copies of Windows™ that are stored on your hard drive for system restoration. Don't worry, this will only remove all but the most recent restore point.
You should see anywhere from 3.5 to 14 gigs of hard drive space freed up once you do this.
One last thing:
If you have a C:\ and a D:\ drive, the D:\ drive should ideally be used for file storage.
In other words, all of your pictures, movies, documents, saved e-mails, etc., anything that ISN'T a program... should be on this drive to keep your C:\ drive working better:
All of these files opening and closing on the C:\ drive will lead to fragmentation of your C:\ drive and that will eventually cause the whole system to slow down, and could kill your hard drive.
Additionally, you mention that you are low on space on the C:\ drive. That's another bad thing. I've learned over the years that you should never let a working drive (as in one that is running your operating system or even one that holds files you access daily) get below 25% free space. The caching of files as you work on them gets extremely slow if the drive has to jump back and forth between sides of the actual discs to record changes as you make them. This is much less likely when you have 25% or more of the drive free.
Your documents, pictures, music and movies will open from the D:\ drive where software won't always. It's easier to move your files to the D:\ drive to make space than to install a second OS and then reinstall all of your software.

Problem in installing Adobe Reader X

I wanted to install Adobe Reader X on my notebook(with no internet connection).I copied the Adobe folder from my PC to the notebook and tried to install Adobe Reader X by clicking the related exe file,but it didnt help.
The exe file,which was AcroRd32.exe,when clicked says that "Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to a problem with your system configuration.Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?".
When I tried to open it with Protected Mode disabled,it gave a fatal error saying that "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL".
No such error occured with earlier versions of Adobe Reader. There, the exe file automatically started the installation process.
Is it not possible to upgrade my Reader to X from 9.1?
(I saw a similr thread elsewhere but there the error was different and the solution talked of some whitelisting,which I am not aware of)

You cannot use Reader X until it has been installed. Installing means that the appropriate configuration has been entered into the Windows Registry. Copying a folder from another computer doesn't achieve that goal.
Here's what I suggest you do now.
Run this Microsoft fix first of all: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Uninstall via Reader via Add/Remove Programs
Download and install Reader X from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/
P.S. There are some programs which are so called 'Standalone' apps. That means that the executable will run without using a system's processes. But Adobe Reader isn't one of them.

Error 1714, Installing Adobe Reader 9.0 = HEADACHE

Hello all,
I spent several hours on this problem and I begin to have a headache ... I try to install Adobe Reader 9 with a GPO and an MST. It seems that my old GPO (Adobe Reader 8.1.2) can not be properly uninstall ...
I must install Adobe Reader 9 on more than 600 computers ... I spend a lot of time on forums and websites, and the only possible solution is to run the "Windows CleanUp Utility "on each ordinteurs ... You imagine the time that his takes me!
I wonder if there was a other solution. I hope you can help me!
Thanks.
Olivier

Hi Pat,
Thank you for your answer! Yes indeed I have the same problem on nearly 600 machines ... Whenever I try to uninstall version 8.1.2 on clients computers, it says it can not find the installation source ... No matter if I use the command "msi /x" or the Windows Uninstaller... But the source has never changed! It's on a DFS, in the same place!
It's certain that if I install the package on a clean computer, everything should work fine. But I can not format 600 machines, each time I want to install Adobe Reader ...
I know I am not alone in having this problem ... I hope someone has already found a solution!
Thanks!

Can't install Adobe Reader for Android on my Tablet

Hi everyone,
I purchased lately a Binatone HomeSurf Tablet running on Android. I wanted to install Adobe Reader on it. I downloaded it all right, but when I wanted to install it on the Tablet, I got the message "impossible to install Adobe Reader on this phone"
Is there anything I can do to make Adobe Reader run on my tablet ?
Thanks in advance,
Eric, from Belgium...

You are lucky you can download it. My problem with my C
ruzMicro T301 Tablet PC running Android 2.2 is that
Adobe's website doesn't appear to ackowledge my device at all. I cannot download apps from adobe's website, I have tried to download it to my computer then unpack it to my tablet via a USB hookup that was successfull however it wouldn't install and was missing the .apk file wich is needed to run the program. I have looked at several .pdf readers and found none that will install on my tablet including this one so i am wondering what the deal is? How hard is it to make a universal android .pdf reader?

run the cleaner (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and then retry installing.

I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive.
