Installation of Adobe Acrobat X Professional terminates

I currently have Adobe Acrobat X Standard on my Windows 7 laptop. I am trying to install Acrobat X Professional but keep getting the error message that I already have a more functional product installed and the installation process terminates. How do I get around this error message to install Professional?

Katinco have you used the Programs and Features control panel to remove your installation of Adobe Acrobat X Standard?

Error Deploying Adobe Acrobat X Professional over Standard

A while back I deployed a customized installation of Adobe Acrobat X Standard. I used the Adobe Customization Wizard X to generate a MST file that omits things like speed launch and arm and disables some features in the help menu (like updates, repair, etc.) and deployed the MSI via Group Policy. Everything worked fine, Acrobat X Standard is now on every workstation. Later, we discovered that some users needed the 10.1.1 patch, so we patched some systems as necessary.
Due to decisions out of my control, management has now decided that they want to replace Acrobat X Standard with Acrobat X Professional on all workstations. Great! So I generate another MST with my trusty Customization Wizard and make sure to UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS. When I try to deploy the new package I get an error on each of the patched workstations...so I try to run the setup manually to discover the following error during the installation of Adobe Acrobat X Professional:
Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate.
I'm no expert on Adobe, but I do know that management shelled out more money for Professional than they did for Standard and according to the website Pro is more "featured" than standard...so with all due respect, Adobe installer you are WRONG!
I don't want to touch each workstation to uninstall Adobe Acrobat X Standard so I can install Adobe Acrobat X Professional. Can someone please tell me how to get around this installer error please? Some registry key that needs deleting perhaps?
Many thanks in advance,

Well, you are attempting to uninstall the same code version of Acrobat X Standard with Acrobat X Pro. That won't work. You say that you purchased an upgrade from Acrobat X Standard to Acrobat X Pro that doesn't sound right either. If you decided to get Acrobat X Pro after already purchasing Acrobat X Standard the process should have been to get the full DVD media or the full ESD (electronic service download) from Adobe of Acrobat X Pro and then destroy or return the old software along with a very long legal form that says you are doing just that process. That's a procurement issue from both ends I would think. Needless to say the correct way would be to get the full media with the full serial number for Adobe Acrobat X Pro from Adobe. Then uninstall Acrobat X Standard from your user machines and then install the full media of Acrobat X Pro.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - will not uninstall

I tried to install this program with Windows 7, 64-bit numerous times and it would not work 100%. I even downloaded the "patch" file for windows 7, but the program would freeze every single time I opened it. I have since reverted back to just using Adobe reader, but CANNOT uninstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. The uninstall completely freezes about 60-65% of the way through, and I just end up closing it down. However, I cannot install any new software on my computer because the installer application keeps saying that another program is being installed (Adobe) when in actuallity it is NOT!
Pleeease provide any help as to how I can uninstall this program. The program is still listed when I got to the control panel and uninstall a program. I have tried Modify, Repair, & Remove all unsuccessfully. I have deleted all files from the C: drive except the "Resource" folder, which I keep getting Folder Access Denied and that I "require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder." Well, I am the administrator and the ONLY user on my computer, so I don't know what that is all about. I am beyond frustration with this, the microsoft forum told me to check here for assistance.

Hi meanwire,
I had a similar problem .
Here is the solution that worled for me. try it out:
1. Install Acrobat 8.0 (which i think you have already done)
2. Now go to the following link and download Acrobat 8.1 update
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3662
3. Apply the downloaded 8.1 update manually
4. Once the manual update is successful launch Acrobat and do Acrobat menu Help ->Check for updates
Hope it works for you!!

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time.

Hi
So i've trying to deploy CS3 Design Standard in our enterprise environment. And one of the deployments, requires that i have to deploy ONLY the Adobe Acrobat Professional component of the CS3 package.
I run the install, and untick Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign etc......so JUST leaving Adobe Acrobat Professional. It installs fine, along with the Shared Components etc.
But when i run Adobe Acrobat Professional, it pops up saying:-
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
Now, as you can see i can't launch another suite component, as i've chosen not to install them. I'm assuming this is required so it can "register" itself. If this is working "by-design" then why does it let me install Adobe Acrobat Professional by itself, if i can't run it????

Simon = The rest of the CS3 package works great in a ThinApp package, doesn't seem to be any performance difference between install types. Plus you have the advantage of no extra registry keys or dll's floating into your system.
Peter = Thanks for the helpful comment, really helps me with this issue. And how is my installation of the product not "as designed".
Adobe give you the option of JUST installing Adobe Acrobat Professional, so if they allow this, surely it's BY DESIGN! The fact it doesn't work by itself means that Adobe should change their design to state the fact you need to install another suite product to allow it to work.
I've also tried packaging a standalone copy of Acrobat Reader Professional using VMWare ThinApp, but it does not work. And i've no problem with this, theres no real way to virtualize a device (i.e the Adobe PDF printer) so i'm fine with that.

Please help - Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Registration Prompt

I have deployed Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional to a few workstations using the Custom Installation Wizard and I randomly get prompted to complete the Registration. I have added the following to my installation but continue to get prompted randomly:
1. Disabled Registration in the Custom Installation Wizard.
2. Placed the registration file in c:\documents and settings\username\app data\adobe\
3. Ran these two reg keys.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\AdobeViewer]
"Registered"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bRegisterProduct"=dword:00000000
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I also still have Acrobat Pro 9 on my machine as backup (for this precise reason) but don't believe this is the problem as they have co-existed without a problem for near a month now. The corruption in version X occured after this morning's failed update from Adobe.
Many thanks,

Thank you! That did indeed do the trick
Must have been a font or something causing the problems, as opening in safe mode allowed the software to install correctly.
Thanks again!!

In AA7, PDF Maker is a plugin for OFFICE 2003 and earlier that is a preprocessor for the printer. It simply provided the essence of PDF Marks that were then processed by Distiller once the printer completed the creation of the PS file. AcroTray was to automate the process by invoking Distiller to process the PS file and create the PDF. The latter fails with Win7, as does the printer itself. I have been successful at installing AA7 on both 32 and 64-bit versions of Win7. However, the installation of an additional PS print driver and the extra steps to create the PDF were necessary.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional does not accept the correct serial number after reinstallation

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional does not accept the correct serial number after reinstallation, what to do?

Thank you Bill. You could help me with the answer and the one in the other forum:
"Acrobat has a separate installation process and needs to be activated with your Adobe ID I think. The question on CC is really one for the folks in the CC forum (Adobe Creative Cloud), not the Acrobat forum".
I could resolve things with Adobe CC. I don´t need my old Acrobat 8, but I could finally install Acrobat XI Pro - and this time it seems to work, without permanently crashing down.
Thank you.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional w/ Windows 8.1

Previously I had Windows Vista Home Basic and everything ran smoothly with Acrobat. One thing that I loved was if I ran out of ink or could not print for some other reason, I had Adobe in the list of printers. Well Adobe is not showing up in the list of printers nor can I get it to show up there by trying several different things. My Adobe product is Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and my Windows system is now Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (though I’m starting to regret this). I’m seeing that 64 Bit is the problem but really? Is there no fix for this other than spending hundreds of dollars yet again? I’m beginning to think the computer and software is only for the very-very rich! Who can afford this stuff with its updates every year! They really know how to make a buck but what about the people who cannot afford to keep paying for these things? I know I could switch back but I did a clean install and in order to switch back, I’d have to find the Vista cd again (which I tried) or end up buying that again! Ugghh All I want is for the Adobe Acrobat to be available as a printer, the program itself works, just not what I guess Adobe is labeling as the “extras.” I have tried the below…but none of anything I have tried for the last three days has worked – not even talking to Adobe because they gave me the links to this forum and the online support – because their chat is for the rich who can purchase XI at 400-900 dollars! Please if anyone knows a solution to this that might help me?

Did the “Customization Wizard” but the other file (Transformer Tool) would not load install – received message “Acrobat Transforms Update did not find any valid installed Acrobat products or you do not have sufficient privileges to update registry.” Grrrrr
Installed PDFFilter64Setup.msi --- seemed to accept it but I’m not sure it changed a thing!

Keep in mind that AA8 is just about prior 64-bit and has not been updated to maintain currency with the newer OS and platforms. As a minimum, you need to do the updates to AA8. The updates are important for 64-bit systems. You may or may not get it to work. If it looks like it, please report what parts work and what parts fail. The links try to address the issues, but we need to know what works after you do the updates. Does Acrobat open (your note suggests it does) and appear to work? Does Distiller open and is it able to convert a PS file to a PDF (it can only operate on EPS and PS files)? Is there an Adobe PDF printer present? Can you print to the printer with print-to-file selected? Is AcroTray running in the background.
With a new system, new software is commonly required. In fact, Win 8.1 may have problems with old hardware like VISTA came on. I still run a Dell system with XP on it. Most things run fine (though I have to get rid of malware and such periodically). So you don't really have to update with every change, but you may be on your own with some things -- or depend on forums like this to try to help.

Adobe Acrobat 8 professional Mac will not upgrade from 8.1.5 to 11.0.9

Hi:
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 professional for Mac version 8.1.5 trying to upgrade to 11.0.9 but when I download the update it fails to grab the application. Although its visible, to advise to install the update it will not allow me to click on update. I am using a MacMini running on
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

From AA 8, you have to purchase the full AA XI. There is no upgrade for products before AA 9. You should not have been able to purchase XI from Adobe as an upgrade with only 8 as the prior product.
