Installations stops when trying to install Adobe Acrobat XI on Mac OS 10.8.4

I kept getting this message that Adobe Acrobat was not able to update the software and so I decided I would just update my software from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for mac to vs 11.  I called tech support and they told me to uninstall acrobat 9 Pro completely first, which I did.  Now, I have downloaded version 11 and tried installing this via the trial (wanted to make sure it worked) and as it goes through the install process, it gets hung up with one minute to go trying to rewrite script files.  It stays like this for enternity.  If you right click on installer to force quit the install, it won't let you.  If you go to the apple sign and force quit it from the menu, it will kill the installer.  However, the computer won't shut down because it still thinks it is installing software.  So the only way to kill it is to do a hard reset.   I called tech support and was on hold for for 40 minutes and then the tech tried for an hour to fix this.  This included deleting the uninstall program for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and also reinstalling the software from a fresh download that he sent me.  I still had the same result. 
To make matters worse, I only have Acrobat Pro v 8 on disc (there was a free vs 9 upgrade that was online that I got) and as a result, I don't have version 9 to install back onto the computer.  The tech was going to try to send me a link to download version 9 but he wasn't sure he could do it.  Someone was going to get back to me, but no one has yet.  So now, not only do I not have version 11, I don't even have my old version 9!!!!  My only option is to go back to version 8 which I have the disk for.  This is ridiculous.  So if anyone out there has some suggestions on how I can get version 11 to install, that would be great.  I am running Mac OS X 10.8.4 on a 13" Macbook Pro with Retina.  Thanks.

I've been scouring every place I can possibly think of for nearly four hours trying to find an Acrobat 9 Mac download - no luck I can find Windows downloads back to 8, but nothing for Mac.

  • Error when trying to install Adobe Acrobat Pro, recently purchased.

    Recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro, when trying to install get an error message 'Your account subscription cannot be validated'. Have tried several times, double checked login etc, but same message each time.
    Please help, how to fix this issue??

    Hi camelon,
    Please delete the "Acrobat" and "OOBE" folders found in
    on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe
    on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Local\Adobe
    and delete the "Acrobat" folder found in
    on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Preferences
    on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\
    on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
    Then launch Acrobat. It will go through the first launch experience of asking for UI language, AdobeID, etc.
    If there's no change in behavior, please attempt to go to:
    https://na1mbls.licenses.adobe.com
    If you can't get to this website there may be a firewall or other software blocking the connection. Acrobat must be able to reach this https URL and 3 others in order to complete and monitor the subscription/trial process.
    If you can view the page at this URL, then please send the PDApp.log and amt3.log file from
    on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Logs/PDApp.log
    on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Local\Temp

  • ...trying to install Adobe Acrobat XI. The msg reads " Installer mis-configured."

    ...trying to install Adobe Acrobat XI. The message reads " Installer mis-configured." Clearly, I can't proceed. Is a new version of the installer available? I'm not having a lot of luck with downloads from the Adobe site these days. I'm not too confident about purchasing online given two bad experienes with files that are missing (dll) and now this installer problem.

    Thank you for replying, Jeff. I'm running Windows 7 -- 64 bit. Also, once the.exe file downloaded, I clicked "Run."

    Totally Frustrated what are you clicking on prior to receiving the message the Installer is Mis-configured?  Also which operating system do you have installed?

  • Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.

    Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.  But the page that I need keeps telling me that Adobe Flash Player still needs to be installed.  I've downloaded AFP several times, and I see it installed correctly on my mac, but the same error message keeps coming up.  All of the support that I see is either for mac or for Internet Explorer, but not for both and not for the version of Internet Explorer that I am using.  Please help.  Thank you.

    Wow, IE for Mac is pretty old.  What Mac OS are you using?  I'm 99% sure you're going to need an older version of the Player, but I'll need to know the OS version to figure out which one.

    At a command prompt (run as administrator), do:

    and then reboot the machine. A chkdsk of the system drive can only run while
    the system is booting.
