Need help in installing Acrobat XI Student & Teacher Edition under Windows Vista

Hi
After spending the best part of two evenings trying to install this product I'm at my wit's end.  I bought it as a download from Amazon and the cost is non refundable, so if I can't get it up and running I've basically wasted £76!  I'd really appreciate some help.
My OS is Windows Vista.  I'm trying to install this on to my C Drive which has 17.6GB of space left.
Downloading the product from Amazon is no problem but when I come to install I get the following message:
"Adobe Application Manager, required to verify your license, is missing or damaged.  Please download a copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager "
When I've downloaded the Manager I get a message to download Adobe Support Advisor.  This gives the following error messages:
Installer Program "cpsid_82829s1: A restart is pending", bootstrapper error has occurred" 
When I click on the link for corrective action this basically tells me to perform a restart after I have found and deleted the InProgressKey.  However the InProgressKey is nowhere to be found and no amount of restarts solves the problem.
I tried an uninstall (so I could reinstall to find out whether that solves the problem) but that gives the message:
"Error 1321.  The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\HelpCfg\en_US\Acrobat_Pro.helpcfg"
When I tried to manually delete this file I got "Destination Folder Access Denied - you need permission to perform this action."
(I am the administrator on this computer).
I downloaded the Adobe Clean Uninstall tool (I forget what it's called), uninstall was successful using this tool, I did another restart and then downloaded the product again from Amazon - but the same problems occurred as described above.
I'm just going round in circles here and not getting anywhere.  Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi gameboy95,
Acrobat is not support in Windows Vista. Please find the tech specs: http://www.adobe.com/in/products/acrobatpro/tech-specs.html and upgrade to appropriate version of Windows.

  • Installing CS5 Standard Student Teacher Edition

    I downloaded a trial copy of the CS5 Standard Edition.  The trial has expired.  Our school purchased a copy of CS5 Standard Student Teacher edition. After installing in and launching a program, I get the message they my trial has expired.  I try to enter my license code, but nothing types in the boxes.  How do I completely uninstall the software and reinstall so I can enter the license key?

    Davidmad your serial number should be numbers only.  Perhaps you are reviewing a coupon code or product code depending upon your region?  I would recommend looking at the Student and Teacher edition portion of Find a Serial Number.

  • Cannot install Adobe CC (Student & Teacher Edition) on both of my computers. Asks to start trial/enter serial?

    I purchased Adobe CC Student and Teacher Edition so that I could complete my school assignments. However, I need to install it on both my laptop and desktop for obvious reasons. Last night I installed the applications on my desktop computer, but after attempting to install the applications on my laptop, it simply asks me to start a trial.
    I was under the impression that I received 2 installs for adobe CC.

    Thank you .
    Close all Adobe applications and Quit Creative Cloud desktop application.
    End all Adobe related tasks like Creative Cloud ,CoreSync,Armsvc........etc from Task Manager. (Click on more details in Task Manager) .
    Press Windows button (located between Ctrl and Alt buttons) along with R button together at a time , you will get a run command window.
    Type in below command and hit 'Enter' key.
    appdata
    Then navigate to Local>Adobe>OOBE. Open OOBE folder and delete opm.db file.
    Once you had deleted opm.db file , launch Creative Cloud desktop application and sign in with Adobe ID  using which you had purchased CC subscription .
    Once signed in , click on Apps tab and check.

  • Need help with Westell Versalink 327w on new computer with Windows Vista

    Greetings!
    I'm having trouble trying to connect to my Westell Versalink 327w with my new computer. My old computer and laptop work perfectly fine in connecting to the router. However, when I plug in the Ethernet cable to the router on my new computer, the computer doesn't recognize that a connection is even established. (As if it's not actually plugged in.)
    The port on the back of my computer is perfectly fine, as it works with another internet connection I have setup. The cable and router work fine on both my old computer and laptop. (In fact, I'm using the laptop to post on the forums right now.)
    The Router itself shows the Ethernet connection that's plugged in as a blinking green light.
    Is there a driver or some software I need to install on the new computer? Any specific settings?
    I'm using Windows Vista on the new computer, and the old computers both have Windows XP. Is there some sort of complicated new setup that Vista has which is preventing the connection, or like I said, is there software or a driver that I didn't install on the new computer that's making it not recognizing the router at all?
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    IceSage,
    Hey there!  Drivers would not required for an ethernet connection to the Versalink.  This appears to be an issue with Vista specifically.  If you have not already done so you may want to disable IPv6 in the TCP/IP settings of your LAN controller:
    Network and Sharing Center > Manage network connections > Right click on "Local Area Network" > Properties > Uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) > Click "OK" > Reboot > cross fingers
    Let us know if that works.

  • Need help with installing Symbol so student can graduate

    After using OS X exclusively for the last 5 years, I now find that I need to use Framemaker on OS 9 in order to help a student of mine finish his thesis. I've installed Framemaker, but when I try to run it, it says it's missing the Symbol font, then quits. I have no idea why it's missing, and for the life of me, I can't remember how to install a font in OS 9.
    Can anyone tell me where I can find an OS 9 compatible version of the Symbol font, and how to install it?

    Hi, Gary, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Symbol is a standard font that's normally installed with OS 9. Many people don't use it, so it is often trashed. If you don't have access to a computer that is running OS 9 and has the font installed on it, you can extract a copy from the Installer Tome on any OS 9 installer CD using TomeViewer. Once you've done so, place it in the Fonts folder inside OS 9's System Folder, restart the Mac, and it should be available in the Fonts menu of all your OS 9 applications.

  • Needed help in Installing Solaris 10 on sparc box from windows remotely

    Hi All,
    I have few Sun Ultra Sparc boxes. I m accessing them only through putty session(serail port) from my windows system.
    Now there is a need for me to install Solaris 10 in the sparc box. But the sparc box doesn't have any DVD drive. I have an external DVD drive.
    Can somebody help me out to install Solaris on the sparc box with the components I have.
    1) Windows system with putty
    2) External DVD drive
    3) Sun sparc box.
    Thanks for your help,
    T.R.Santhosh

    If you run into a problem that causes the machine not to boot, you can't interact with it via putty. You'd need a physical connection, usually either the keyboard and screen or a serial connection. I would always plan to be able to do so during an upgrade.
    If you have sufficient disk space, the easiest thing to do would be to copy over the DVD iso, then mount it up with lofi, and do a live upgrade.
    Windows doesn't read rockridge format disks. I would worry that having the windows machine read the ISO filesystem and send the files over would cause name issues. That's why getting the full ISO and mounting it locally on the Sparc is best. Fortunately, it doesn't require a physical drive.

  • Installing the Thrustmaster F-16 FLCS under Windows Vista 32-bit?

    Anyone know if Danielk has been here lately?
    He said he wrote an app that really works.

    Yes that is the thread . Thank you so Much jmacquire.
    I ordered the http://www.manhattan-support.com/en-...e-port-adapter
    Manhattan game controller but the techs said it is not compatible with the FLCS.
    And also Daniel's directions are for adding a PCI Input Device.
    The Manhattan will be a DB25 - USB input device.
    So I am not sure if it will work.
    Also I don't think Guillemot is making new Thrustmaster
    products
    Is there anyway to get the FLCS or other TM products
    repaired if they break

    I'm not clear what you are saying here. Since for S&T versions registration is mandatory, you have a permanent serial on your account and those function just liek any normal serial number of a comemrcial package.

  • In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
    If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.
