Install Reader 8.0 in directory different from C: drive

I don't have enough room on my C: drive and want to install Reader 8.0 on my D: drive, but can't find any way to make that happen. Is there a way?
I've got Windows XP.

I have the same issue. In the past, you were given the option during installation. Not now. Even if it was the case where lots of stuff still went to C:, it would still be 168MB less than what is put there right now. I guess I'll have to use a competitor's product unless somebody from Adobe has any suggestions.
I was in the process of uninstalling Reader while typing the above comment - now it's uninstalled.
How frickin' huge is the stuff put on by Reader? Free disk space w/ Reader installed was 334 MB. I just uninstalled Reader and now have 2.38 GB of free space on the C: drive. Uninstalling Reader 8.1.2 is the only change I made and it's given me back over two gigabytes of space. I did not remove or alter any other files. I was not expecting to see that much space returned, or even a tenth of that. Even so, the size would not be an issue if I could install to another drive.

HA-VMM cannot be installed : HAVMM name in db is differs from the user specified HAVMM name

I have a two node HA VMM cluster. This is working correctly and has been for while. I am now attempting to add an additional node to the cluster.
I joined the node to the cluster and then start the VMM install and follow the wizard till it gets to the Database Configuration Page. When I Click Next here nothing happens.
If I check the C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log file I see the following error as the last item.
HA-VMM cannot be installed : HAVMM name in db is differs from the user specified HAVMM name
If I check the S
CVMMCDB01 I find the HAVMMName property with a value of SCVMMC01.domainname This is the same value that is returned when using powershell with Get-SCVMMServer
When I check the cluster configuration it is the same story. I connect to the cluster name scvmmc01.
Even if I look at Cluster Manager I can see the name is tied correctly.
Any ideas would be great as I am effectively now stuck and cannot install another node.

Greetings!
It happened because you renamed your VMM cluster after first node installation.
Juts update HAVMMName value in dbo.tbl_VMM_GlobalSetting. Start SQL Server Management Studio, connect to your VMM DB, and Edit table.

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.

On both your devices go to Settings>iCloud, then scroll down and click "Delete Account". You can then sign back in using your updated details.
Note: "Delete Account" will not delete data from iCloud, it will simply remove the account from your device.

Problems installing Reader 10.1.3 via GPO from AIP

I have been using GPO to install Reader for a while. Up til now I have not had any problems that I have not been able to resolve thanks to all of the posts I have seen here.
I have had Reader 10.1.1 install on all of the computers on the network using GPO. I just went through the process of creating an AIP (upgraded from 10.1.0 with the MSP file) for 10.1.3 and setup a new package in my GPO for the 10.1.3 install (after using the Customization Wizard to modify it). Everything appeared to be working properly. I removed the 10.1.1 package and the 10.1.3 package seems to be getting pushed to the computers on the network. Unfortunately many of the users have started reporting that they are unable to open PDF files. Upon investigation the Add/Remove Programs show that the Reader 10.1.3 package has been installed on the computers, but when an Administrative user logs onto the computer and runs the Adobe Reader it appears to complete installation (installing settings or something else). When the administrative user logs off and the normal user logs onto the same computer it then is fully functional.
Have I missed something?
Most computers on the network are Windows XP (fully patched). We are slowly replacing them with Windows 7. Users do not have admin rights.
Anybody else see similar problems?

lrcjc,
Have you developed a solution for this issue yet? I am pushing the installation with a Computer Policy > Startup Script and am having a similar issue. When I log in as a user I can not use the program. When I log in as an administrator it will work. Then, when I log back in as a regular user I can see Reader 10.1.3. I am in an enterprise environment with XP and 7 machines. Here is my installation script:
@echo off
set server=leejsp-fs2
set update=10.1.3
if exist "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%.txt" goto patch
echo Adobe Reader install started on %date% %time% from %server% >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%.txt"
echo Installing Adobe Reader...
msiexec /i "\\%server%\syncnet\Reader_Test\acroread.msi" /qb
echo Adobe Reader install finished on %date% %time% >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%.txt"
:patch
if exist "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%_%update%.txt" goto end
echo Adobe Reader %update% Update install started on %date% %time% from %server% >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%_%update%.txt"
msiexec /p "\\%server%\install\syncnet\Reader_Test\AdbeRdrUpd1013_MUI.msp" /qb
echo Adobe Reader %update% Update install started on %date% %time% from %server% >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%_%update%.txt"
:end
This script worked perfectly with Reader 9 and update 9.3.2. Could my parameters be outdated? Am I missing a parameter that is stopping a non-administrator from finishing the installation? Anything helps!

ITune Media directory differs from iTunes count

I have setup a "/Users/Shared/iTunes Media" directory to share music files with all the users on my Mac. In iTunes on my administrator account I have cleared out all duplicate songs. iTunes says I have half as much as I'm finding in the iTunes Media directory. Can someone suggest housekeeping technique to make sure I don't have actual duplicate files on my drive?

Hold down shift key while opening iTunes and specifying a new library will do the trick.

After installing 10.6.7 everything is gone from hard drive

just as if I did a clean install. I just hit the install when prompted with the software update. There was no message that it would result in a clean wiped install.

If your description is accurate, you are in deep water here.
Do you have a Time Machine backup of your OSX? Do you have a clone of your OSX? Did you save your most valuable files (itunes, word files, photos?)
If you have no backups you should take your machine to a service person who can rescue them for you. Costs money tho'.
Your problem is rare enough that any attempt to fix it - there are lots of ways - just might tank your whole install.
If you have backups or clones, then restore that way. Another way would be to install Snow Leopard again (which is really equal to Archive and Install which will in theory fix your install AND save your valuables, but it's not guaranteed.)

Mail's Account Directory - accessible from a different start-up volume?

I have two internal hard drives in my PowerMac G4. One volume has Tiger 10.4.11 installed; the other had Leopard 10.5.6. I have not yet fully transitioned from Tiger to Leopard, but I want to do so. However, before I do so I want to know if I will be able to:
(1) run the applications which reside on the Tiger volume when I boot up in Leopard (so that I do not have to waste hard drive space by installing the same applications on two different internal hard drives; and
(2) access the email messages that reside on the Tiger volume when I boot up in Leopard (so that I can keep all my mail in one place, and so that I can access my email no matter whether I boot up in Leopard, or in Tiger, when I need to use older applications that may not be Leopard-compatible and which I do not wish to spend more money on upgrades).
Since this forum addresses Mail and Address Book issues, I would like to get a definitive answer to the second inquiry, namely, if I boot up in Leopard, can I access the mailboxes and email messages that reside on the Tiger volume, or must I absolutely (somehow) bring all those messages into Leopard and be compelled to use only one Mac OS to access the Mail application on its associated start-up drive.
In trying to figure this out myself, I notice that, in the Mail preferences panel, on the Advanced tab of the Accounts button, there is an option called "Account Directory:" that lists "~/Library/Mail" as the path to the directory where email messages are stored. While there is a "Choose" button next to the file path, both the pathname and the button are shadowed out, and I can see no way to activate that option.
I am a little bit confused here, because the appearance of that option implies that one might be able to actually direct the Mail application to store email messages on a volume other than the start-up volume. However, the fact that the "Choose" button and the actual path name are shadowed out appears to cancel out that capability.
Can anyone shed light on this mystery? Is it possible to access email that resides in Library of another volume other than the one used to start-up the Mac, and, if so, how is that accomplished?

it might work with some self-contained apps that are installed by drag and drop into /Applications but should not be done in general. It will definitely not work with any apps that use installers to install.

yes, you must transfer all your Mail to the leopard partition and use it from there. yes, you are compelled to do so and no there is absolutely no way around it.

Can't install Reader "Already installed"

So I had a problem with Reader where it gave me an error message saying ReaderSomething.msi (I don't really remember the name) could not be found. So I tried to uninstall reader to then install it again. Though when I tried to uninstall, some files did not want to be removed, in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Resource\CMap\ Identity-H and Identity-V. I tried to remove them myself, but for some reason they, or the map Reader 11.0 cannot be removed. I tried to re-install Reader by downloading the latest ver from the website, but when I tried to install it says that reader already is installed, but it isn't. This is very annoying. I have tried to remove every single reader file, including the ones in ProgramData. But still it says reader is already installed. A screenshot won't help, because it's just the installer that says ☑ Already installed
What do I do to make this work? I am using Windows 7 64-bit.

A simple batch, well why didn't I think of that myself...
A slight edit of the file could work for future problems too..
@echo off
@setlocal enableextensions
@cd /d "%~dp0"
echo.
echo Please paste the full key path.
set /p key=
subinacl /subkeyreg %key% /setowner=users
subinacl /subkeyreg %key% /grant=users=F
subinacl /subkeyreg %key% /setowner=administrators
subinacl /subkeyreg %key% /grant=administrators=f
reg DELETE %key% /va /f
cls
echo.
echo Key deleted.
pause
exit
Not sure if that would work though...
Anyways, thank you very much. The file deleted the key (though it's still shown in the registry, but who gives a damn) I could install Reader and it works perfectly!
And I must say, thanks again for the fast and great support!

I talked to your guys yesterday about installing correct version of Lightroom 5 which I legally owned, and your guy provided me a download link (different from Creative cloud account), but somehow it was for Windows version not for Mac version. I would very much like to download a Mac version, so please send my correct web link. By the way my s. number for Lightroom 5 up is [removed], and I also have s.number for 4 up and 3 full.

The latest non-CC version of LR 5 is 5.7.1 and download links are available on the Adobe Updates page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Both Mac and Win links are there.
If you are asking for a LR 5 CC link, which wouldn't require a serial number, please be more clear about that.

How to find from the data dict if a user has read access on a directory

How to find "dynamically" if a user has READ access to a directory object.
I want to know if there is a data dictionary table that holds if a user/schema has read access to a directory object.
I know there is an dba_directories table and an all_directories table but they dont give information as to which user has read access granted to the directory.

Not so difficult.
select 'YES'
   from all_tab_privs A, all_directories B
   where a.grantee = 'USERNAME'
       and a.table_name = b.directory_name
       and b.directory_path = 'PATH YOU ARE LOOKING FOR'

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I installed Reader (in English) and it prints in a different language

I installed Reader [01/03/2010,in English] and it prints in a different language/garble.
I received a hospital appointment email with an attachment confirming my next day's appointment.
The attachment confirms place and time with a barcode to be scanned upon arrival at the hospital's kiosk.
So far all is good but, when I print the attachment it looks similar in format but is garbled.
It does not appear to be a translation to a foreign language but rather a series of random letters and symbols.
Examples:
Time: prints out as; Ujn f ; Provider:prints out as: Qspwjef s ; Location: prints out as: Mpdbyjo
09:00AM " " ; 1: ; 11BN Not only are the letters garbled but they are merged
I don't know what's wrong or how to fix it. My question is "What I Gotta Do?" HELP!

It "could" have something to do with improper embedding of the fonts used in the document. Reader is substituting for a different font which as you can see, rarely works.
One thing you can try is in the print menu find the option to "print as image" and see if that works.
If it doesn't, there isn't really anything you can do except to contact the folks that made the PDF and request that they embed all fonts.
