Mac: Adobe Reader Installation error

I get the following error when trying to install Adobe Reader on my Mac (running OS X 10.8.4):
dyld: DYLD_environment variables being ignored because main executable
(/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Resources/runner) is setuid or setgid installer:
Package name is Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03) Installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install failed (The
Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for
assistance.)
Evidently the install process is running afoul of some security issue but I don't know how to work around the problem.
Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

Problem solved.
I repaired disk permissions using Disk Utility. After that Acrobat Reader installed just fine.
That was what I was going to suggest.
"setuid or setgid installer" errors are ALWAYS permissions related.

  • Adobe reader installation error on Mac

    I can download Adobe reader but when I run the installer, it is not installed. 
    I get this message:  "Installer package Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06) installer failed (The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)"
    I have down loaded from several sites with different browsers and always end up with the same result.  I just updated to Mavericks and my old Reader will not work.  I can't discover how to contact the "software manufacturer" which I guess would be Adobe.  What do I do now?

  • Adobe Reader installation error: "object doesn't support property or method 'text'"

    I'm trying to install Adobe Reader and I have the following error after launching the installer:
    "object doesn't support property or method 'text'"
    My OS is Win7 Ultimate 64b (using AVG antivirus), but I encounter the same error on other systems too:
    Win7 Ultimate 32b (AVG Antivirus)
    Win7 Enterprise 64b (McAfee Antivirus)
    No matter which button I click, the installer hangs:
    I googled this error, but couldn't find any solution.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    This error mostly occurs if your language is not set to English (on the Adobe.com website).  This has been reported to Adobe a million times, but they don't seem to have any intererest in fixing it.

  • Adobe Reader Installation Error 1328

    Hi,
    Trying to update my installation of Adobe Reader on Windows XP to
    Adobe Reader X (10.1.4)
    However, keep getting the following message ...
    "Error 1328:  Error applying patch to file C:\Config.msi\PT76.tmp.  It has probably been updated by another means and can no longer be modified by this patch.  For more information contact your patch vendor."
    Can anyone please tell me how to get around this, or what may have caused it?
    Who, or what, is my "patch vendor" ?
    Cheers
    Robyn

    Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool, then download and run the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

  • How do I stop the Adobe Reader Installer from crashing?

    I downloaded install_reader10_en_air_mssa_aih.exe and this popup appears:
    Microsoft Visual Studio Debugger
    An exception occurred. Process will be terminated. (Exception address is 00413E6C).
    If I leave it open for a while, it eventually says:
    Just-In-Time Debugging
    An exception 'Runtime Error' has occurred in Script.
    However, no debuggers are registered that can debug this exception. Unable to JIT debug.
    When I tried opening a second copy, I did not get this popup, but instead received a different message:
    Adobe Reader Installer
    Installation encountered errors
    Actionlist not found

    Try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • "Adobe reader server error 16297.333.2486.403" while installing

    I am unable to download Adobe Reader.  Nothing ever downloads from the download manager and I get this error:
    Adobe Reader
    server error 16297.333.2486.403
    Any thoughts?

    Don't use the download manager.  Give us the version you want and the platform, and someone will give you a direct download link.
