Nothing Adobe will install or update! PLEASE help!

It started when I went to update Adobe Reader and Flash Player. Whether I completely remove them and try to instal from scratch or just try to update I get this error window popping up.
Firefox could not install the file at

because: Unexpected installation error
Review the Error Console log for more details.

I'm using Firefox and have Windows Vista. Thank you in advance for any help you guys might be able to give me!

Hi, Use the Administrator account. Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then download the Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Then downlad the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Be sure to read over the Uninstaller instructions for system tray, and Make sure you use the Administrator Account.
When you have that done, Close ALL browsers. Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
When fully rebooted, Reboot again (to clear all old files out)
Then Run the Firefox Installer, then Run the IE Installer and when finished, Reboot Once.
Test both browsers here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then Using IE, go to manage add ons (all add ons) and find Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled.
Then Using FF, find the SWF vs 10.1.53.64 plug-in and make sure it is Enabled.
If you have any questions, just post.
Thanks,

Note: If you don't want Flash Player in IE, then ignore that link.
I would wait and Install Reader after a fix has been released.

  • ITunes is Not Installing to Update please help

    I clicked check for updates and then I hit install button since it told me there was an update available but it's not installing or anything..what should I do? Do I have to uninstall itunes or what do I do? Someone please help..I need to update in order to update my phone to iOS 6

    Updating to 10.7.0.21 using an iTunesSetup.exe or iTunes64Setup.exe shouldn't touch your content. By way of an example, I've updated to 10.7.0.21 on two different computers using the downloaded installer files (using an iTunes64Setup.exe on the 64-bit system and an iTunesSetup.exe on the 32-bit system) and didn't lose anything.
    (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times, in case of disasters of any sort.)

  • Iphone apps wont install or update - please help!

    Hi. Hopefully someone can help me...
    My iPhone 4s running iOS 6.1.3 wont let me install new apps or update existing apps. When i click on the button to buy a free or pay app the button changes to "install app". Then when i click on the install app button nothing happens ( no progress bar and no installation). After repeatedly clicking the install button the status changes to "install" as if it was installed...except it wasn't.
    So far i've tried:
    - logging out/in of iTunes account
    - rebooting phone
    - turning off / turning on phone
    - resetting all settings
    - deleting apps that required updating that wouldn't update
    - deleting ibooks which had a pending download
    Tried these multiple times without success in resolving the issue. Both wifi and 3G connection is fine.
    Anyone gone through the same thing and have any suggestions? Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

  • Trouble Installing Software & Updates, Please Help!

    So my problem is installing software. I can download the packages just fine, they appear on my desktop and I can open the installer. The installer will start going along with it's business and finally at the very end it tells me that there was "an error installing software" or something to that effect.
    When I try to install updates from Software Update it tells me "Make sure you have permission to write to /private/tmp/501 TemporaryItems com.apple.SoftwareUpdate, then try again."
    I cannot find this folder anywhere on my computer, Is this a folder? I don't even know.
    Any help or insights would be extremely appreciated!!!!!!!

    Hi Laura,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    The directory you mentioned, /tmp/501/TemporaryItems/ exists at the top level of the directory tree, but it is Unix stuff that has been made invisible so that it does not get damaged or trashed. You can do a Finder search for the invisible "private" folder, and in that the "tmp" folder is not invisible, it is just inside an invisible folder. Once you find "private", you can open it by double-clicking its Icon in the Find display. Now you can see the 501 folder. Click on that and you see TemporaryItems.
    Now you can click that folder, type Apple-i and change the permissions to yourself.
    The different 501 temporary folders are here:
    /private/var/tmp/mds/
    /private/var/tmp/folders/
    /.TemporaryItems/
    /private/var/tmp/
    In the Finder you could also choose "Go to folder..." and enter the path as I written above.

  • I'm trying to install windows 8 on mac, but after partitioning and restarting, it stucks on blue logo and i waited 20 minutes but nothing happened, what can i do, please help.

    I'm trying to install windows 8 on mac, but after partitioning and restarting, it stucks on blue logo and i waited 20 minutes but nothing happened, what can i do, please help.

    I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
    open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
    restart and PRAM reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    restart boot camp assistant
    Does it work?
    If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed.

    You need to be more specific about which software applications you're using, the versions and what happens when you try to open them.
    It would also be nice if you could include which model MacBook Air you're using.

    my keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1 
    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2 
    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
    3 
    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in. 
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    5
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
    6 
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

    My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

    IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
    if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    As discussed in numerous threads already, the new viewer has not been approved by Apple yet.
    If you’re a pro or enterprise customer you can create your own viewer app. If not, you’ll have to wait or roll back to the older tools.

  • Can't install quicktime 7 please help!

    I installed the newest itune (7) yesterday and tried to install quicktime 7 on my g4 cube. I am running tiger and quicktime 7 will not install. It keeps saying try again later. I have repaired all permissions, restarted the computer, but still will not insatll. PLEASE HELP!

    rather than running the Installation "online", try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to your hard drive (the desktop is a fine location) and then running the install from there by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file.
    Does that install go through any better?
