Installing Adobe Reader on a non-internet connected laptop

Hi,
I'm trying to install Adobe Reader onto a laptop with no internet connections. I have tried downloading the installer from Adobe website and transfer the installer to the laptop via a thumbdrive. I have tried umpteen times and the installing process always stop @ Internet Explorer showing no connection.
Any other alternatives that I can explore? I do not require the latest version of Adobe Reader though.
Pls help.

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Reader forum. You may want to try downloading the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/.

Did you look "manually" for remnants of an old Reader installation ? (you could eventually try searching the drive for files and folders named Adobe )
Some suggests , as the previous thread contributor , that this is an issue with respect to remnants of an old installation :

Other suggests it could be a corrupted file issue :
and suggests :
At a command prompt (run as administrator), do:
C:\>chkdsk c: /f /v
and then reboot the machine. A chkdsk of the system drive can only run while
the system is booting.

Is CS6 the last version able to install on a non-Internet-connected network?

I work on a govt network, which has no connection to the Internet, so we just purchased Photoshop CS6. Of course, we're having all sorts of problems because the damn application requires an Internet connection before it will run. We're working with Adobe to try to find a way around this, but it's extremely frustrating. I'm guessing we'll eventually be able to get an installer that doesn't try to connect to the Internet.
My question is: Assuming we can get PS CS6 functioning, is that the last version Adobe will build that will be installable on a non-Internet-connected network? That seems a bit short-sighted and will eventually cause the govt to remove all Adobe products from use. I can't imagine that's a scenario Adobe would be happy with, but maybe they don't care.
Thoughts? Does anybody else use Adobe products on a network that has no way to connect to the Internet? Have you found good workarounds for working with these annoying apps?

Thanks, John. I knew that, but have no way of registering or activating after install. I know that an installer can be built with the Serial Number built in that doesn't require an Internet connection, but I've never been able to get that to work. It takes half a day just to get the transfer approved to move it to the correct network, and after doing this six times, I've run out of patience. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. After over six hours on the phone with Adobe support, I've come to a brick wall. Adobe products are no longer viable on government networks. I'm surprised they've given up this large pool of users...

How do I install Adobe Reader onto a computer with no internet?

I have a computer running Windows 8 with no internet connection. Is there a way to install Adobe Reader onto the machine with either CD or a USB drive?
Also, would there be a simple way to keep Adobe Reader updated offline?

Download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Put it on a flash drive and install it from there.

Installing Adobe reader without access to the internet

I would like to install Adobe reader on my laptop, but have no internet connexion at home. I downloaded Adobe reader on my USB pen, but when I tried to install it on my laptop, the installation wizard tried to connect to the internet. As it failed, it then stopped the installation. What can I do? Is there another version I can download that does not require access to the internet?

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.

Help installing flash player on a non-internet pc

Hi - thanks in advance for your help
I design websites on a computer that is not connected to the
internet - it means my files are safer and no need for anti virus
etc. The problem I have with this is that I can't view flash
elements (eg buttons, text etc.) when previewing in a browser -
they appear fine on dreamweaver and fine on any computer with flash
installed - but evidently computers without an internet connection
lack this plugin.
I have tried to download adobe flash player but it is an
instillation only file, it can't be saved as a setup file and then
transfered to a different computer.
Any ideas?
Cheers

This linksactualy leads to the same place I mentioned where
it installs the
player over the Internet
Another thing is that these players are said to be different
for different
browsers which means they are working together with a
browser. I am looking
for a player which allows to play SWF file directly, without
a browser.
I have such a player installed together with FLASH-8 - I am
looking for
such a player

How do I install Adobe Reader on my PC?

I have tried numerous times to install Adobe Reader on my PC and am unable to do so. Suggestions?

I g o into adobe.com. I click on downloads. I click on download now (for Adobe Reader). I de-acitivate “install Chrome as my default browser (my current browser is Internet Explorer). A window shows up and a box appears that reads “preparing to install, please wait”. After about 5 – 10 secs that box disappears. The next two boxes are “Wait for File Download” and “User Account Control” each of which I am advised to click “Run” once the active boxes appear. Nothing ever happens.

Problems installing Adobe Reader

Hi,
I need some help installing Adobe Reader. First a little history.
I run Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
I had Adobe Reader installed on my system and it was working fine.
Several days ago I had problems opening any Windows Office program after viewing a PDF file. I would have to restart my computer to get Office programs to run. During the re-start windows had to force AcroRd32.exe to shut down before it could close. I noticed that there was an updated version of Adobe Reader installed earlier this month and thought this may have cause the problem (I don't look at PDF file very often).
I looked at the forum for a solution and tried to find the file Elu.exe (I believe that is the name but can't remember exactly) and accept the licence as recommended but could not find it on my system.
I then uninstalled Adobe Reader and tried to re-install it. My system gets stuck at the "running security scan" process and never progresses. I then tried to install and earlier version of Adobe Reader and it gets stuck at the same place.
Can anyone help me with this problem? I can supply any missing information if needed.
Thanks

I just figured out my problem.
I had another program called PDF Creator that must have been interfering. I un-installed it and was able to install Adobe reader. I liked PDF Creator because I could create PDF files for free!
Thanks anyway

Installing Adobe Reader X Did Not Override/Replace Reader 9.x On Mac

I updated Adobe Reader to version X (10.1.0) when prompted by my Mac but then saw that instead of Replacing Reader 9 (like it usually does), it Added and I had Both versions.
I read the following advice in the forums and I did move the Adobe Reader 9 folder from the Applications folder to the Trash (and emptied) but I’m confused about a few users advising to also remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin from the Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins. Do I not need this anymore? Because there is only the one plug-in in that folder, not two, even though I did have two versions of Adobe Reader (9 and 10) before I trashed version 9?
I’m using Mac OS X.6.8
User advice from forum:
Re: OS X How to best install Adobe Reader X if Reader 9.x is already installed
I have both installed on my Mac. But to uninstall Reader 9, drag the Reader 9 folder from Application to the trash. You should also trash the PDFViewer plugin (Library > Internet Plugins).
Another user’s advice from forum:
Now to answer question - "Should I just trash Adobe Reader 9". The answer is YES. You can trash Adobe Reader 9 because installing Adobe Reader X over Adobe Reader 9 takes default ownership of pdf files from Reader 9 in application as well as Safari Web Browser. You would not require Adobe Reader 9 application now.
First time using a forum. Great help. Thanks in advance for any further help.

Hi,
Reader X on Mac does not override or replace Reader 9. This is because Reader 9 installs in /Applications/Adobe Reader 9 folder while Reader X installs in /Applications folder. But if you customize Reader X installation to install on same location where Reader 9 is present, then the installer will ask your permission to trash Reader 9.
If you do not want to go into that detail, the simplest way is to follow the advise from other forum that you have mentioned. You just need to trash Reader 9. There is no need to trash AdobePDFViewer.plugin as that will be updated to Reader X. If you trash that you may not be able to use Adobe plugin to view pdfs in Safari.
Thanks,
Karan
