Installer for Adobe Reader 11 runs but nothing installs

Windows XP SP3 and IE8, Installer completes after downloading it, everything looks ok but nothing occurs after intsaller finishes, I see no Adobe Reader Intsalled on the progam list, nor are any existing PDF files recognized (asks for program with which to open them.)

Where did you download the app from?
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
First you download an app to download the installer of Reader, which then must be run to download the Reader Installer, which you need to run to install Reader. Hey, you cannot make this stuff up.
If you download from:
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
You can the Reader installer, which you can run to install Adobe Reader.

Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

All,
I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's. Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google. The browser displayed the following error:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat. The installation must have changed the default viewer. So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat. I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..." This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0. But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
Does Acrobat function independently of Reader? Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly? Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
Thanks,
Neal

They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

Multiple language installer for Adobe Reader

I need a compressed multiple language installer for Adobe Reader to install with my software. Is one available?

When we requested a license to distribute the multi-language version of Adobe Reader with our software, we recieved the following link to a download:
"For full installers: "
"To download the English language version of Adobe Reader 9 with Acrobat.com in compressed .exe format, click here."
When you click on the link, you get a single file (AdbeRdr11006_en_US.exe). This is an installation for english only. I am looking for a single .exe file for a multi-language installation.
The link you provided above is to a .zip file that must be extracted and then run. This requires additional steps in our installation process. We were hoping you have a single installation file to prevent these additional steps.

Is the installation file for adobe reader, the same for all the versions of windows ? Is it ?

Hello,
I want to know if the installation file for adobe reader is it the same for all the windows ?
It is because I have to do an automatic installation for XP, seven and windows 8...
It is also the same between 32bits and 64bits ?
Thanks.
Best regards
Sofia Luna

It may be worth mentioning two things.
1. Adobe provide extensive information on Enterprise Deployment of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
2. You may well need a redistribution license to do this, if you are installing on behalf of anyone (accepting EULA for them), pushing, or hosting etc.

Does anyone know the default installation folder (path) for Adobe reader 11?

I have an apple computer, I have downloaded adobe reader and acrobat, but now I am asked the following,Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User License Agreement and relaunch browser<<<<<<But how you accept the end user license, when you can not even find the agree button

Did you do that: launch the standalone Reader (not the browser plugin) and accept the EULA?

Which Base MSI to Use For Adobe Reader Updates?

I am new to creating AIP for Adobe Reader and am wondering which MSI to use as the base installer. From what I understand, to create an AIP for Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I need to first have the AIP created for 11.0.00 and then patch it using the 11.0.07 MSP file. (the 11.0.07 MSP file contains all other updates found in earlier quarterly releases and OOC releases)
So my question is on obtaining the correct MSI file for creating the original 11.0.00 AIP. My options for obtaining the correct MSI are threefold:
The original 11.0.00 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi) (only one msiexec comand required)
The original 11.0.00 EXE (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe) (extract the files from the exe, then run the msiexec command)
The new 11.0.07 EXE (AdbeRdr11007_en_US.exe) (same as previous item)
I noticed that the MSIs in the AIP are named "AcroRead.msi" when extracted from an EXE file (#2 and #3 above) but named "AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi" when extracted from the original MSI file (#1 above). Are all three of these resulting MSIs the "same"? They all have different MD5 hashes but otherwise appear identical.
Once I have the original AIP for 11.0.00 backed up, I should be able to reuse it when new quarterly releases come out. Can anyone help please? What is recommended? Thanks!

No one answered, but I think probably all can be used. I made a script that will automatically extract and build the AIP from the most recent EXE file provided by Adobe. Why Adobe doesn't create a new MSI themselves is beyond me.

Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

Hello,
I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
"Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
And I did not find my answer. That is why I'm posting this as a question.
So, with that out of the way....
I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed. What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible. I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version. However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
That is why I'm here asking. Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download? If so, where is it on the web site?
This does lead me to a follow up question. Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player? If so, where can I download them from as well.
Thanks in advance,
--Brian Plencner

Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
The URL to access the page is
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
-- Windows XP 64 Bit
-- Windows Vista 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file. Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009? IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

Per-user location for adobe reader plugins

I am working on an installer which for a per-machine installation, copies a plugin to Adobe Reader's plugins directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins). But for a per-user installation, it won't have access to this directory. So, is there a per-user location for Adobe Reader/Acrobat plugins where this plugin can be installed?
OS: Microsoft Windows 7

There is no per-user location.

Silent install for adobe reader version 110003

silent install for adobe reader version 110003

Hi,
I don't know your more details about how you pretend to deploy your Adobe Reader but I did this to my current deployment and many people on the company are happy with this:
1- I extracted the contents from the Adobe Reader installer.
2- I modified the MSI using Customization Wizard to hide some menus (Maybe you can skip this step if you don't need to customize it)
3- On SCCM 2012 I created a Script deployment with a CMD file which contains the following command for silent install. (You don't need to have an SCCM infrastructure to deploy it but it will help)
start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
or
msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
- On my case I used %~dp0 because I'm installing from a server caching files on client machines but if you pretend to test and install it locally avoid using: %~dp0 and put your absolut path. Like C:\Temp or your MSI and source files location.
- Start /wait - Will execute your MSI installer file and then once is finished will proceed with the next command if any.
- Transforms- will force the MSI to apply the custom settings I did on Customization Wizard)
- PATCH- command will proceed to install the patches you may have at the moment 11.0.1, 11.0.2, etc...
Hope this will help you !

Web Dynpro dropdown doesn't work for Adobe Reader 8

Hi All,
I've developed a Web Dynpro project which uses Interactive form.
The form has a dropdown (simple type from WDJ).
The dropdown works for Adobe Reader 7 but doesn't work for Adobe Reader 8 (when I press the arrow to open the list nothing happens).
Do I need to config/install something for supporting Adobe Reader 8?
I'm using J2EE 7.13.
Thanks,
Omri

Dear Omri,
Make sure that you are using Adobe Reader 8.1.1.
Thanks and Regards,
Anto.

Remove an update for Adobe Reader

Hi everyone,
I have searched around and couldn't find an answer regarding this... I would like to remove update 11.0.10 for Adobe Reader. I need to do this in order to test some of our in-house applications.
I would like to remove the update only, not the whole Adobe Reader application since we might have to push a solution to thousands of people.
I tried multiple MSIEXEC.EXE commands to uninstall the patch but always get an error stating that this patch cannot be uninstalled. is it true? Am I forced to uninstall the whole product?
Thanks for your help

I should say so, yes. I don't think Adobe Reader does the necessary thing of keeping copies of all modules at all versions so you can roll back selectively.
You could probably slipstream patches into the original 11.0 installer to make a single install, using normal Windows Installer techniques.

Page is not available for adobe reader deployment

I have an approved software distribution request to access download installation files for Adobe Reader, but the link that was sent to me http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/deployment.html does not work.

I don't know that link (and certainly not the one hiding under your link).
You can download the EXE installers from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
If you need the MSI installer, get it from the Adobe FTP site ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/ (which for some reason I cannot access right now).

How to install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X

Hi guys, just question that how to silencely install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X?
I know some silence switch as below:
setup.exe /sAll /rs
=> Silencely install all supported languages
setup.exe /sAll /rs /sl "xxxx" (xxxx is LANG ID)
=> Silencely install one specified language only (defined by LANG ID)
Question:
If I would like to silencely install several specified languages, is there any other switch to do that?
Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Reader X MUI version and I tried your way but doesn't work unfortunately.
I attached the setup.ini content below =>

RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
[Product]
msi=AcroRead.msi

[MSI Updater]
Path=http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.0/misc/WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2 -x86.exe
=============
And I used the switch of "Setup.exe /sAll /rs /ini "setup.ini""
My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thank you.
