Presenter 9 trial installation unsuccessful

Question

I downloaded the Presenter 9 trial, ran the setup.exe file, rebooted, and when I open PPT I don't have the Adobe Presenter ribbon. What am I doing wrong? Can someone tell me what else I need to do to install this?

Hi Christine,
To make the Presenter tab reappear in an installation of PowerPoint, you will need to re-enable the Presenter add-in by following these steps:
1. Go to the Start Menu and select All Programs.  Locate PowerPoint in the Microsoft Office folder.   Hold down the Shift key AND right-click on “POWERPOINT” Select the option to “Run as Administrator.”  ----->
2. Once PowerPoint is open, click on the File tab and find Options, located towards very the bottom of the menu.

3. In the new window that appears, select the “Add-Ins” option on the left-hand menu. Next, look for the drop down menu toward the bottom of the window, next to the word “Manage.” Make sure the menu is set to the “COM Add-Ins” option, then click the “Go” button located directly to the right.
4. In the COM Add-Ins box that appears, you will see a list of “available add-ins,” some of which will be selected via check box. Locate the “Adobe Presenter PowerPoint COM Add-In. Its button will be unchecked if disabled.
Un-check all the boxes EXCEPT for the “Adobe Presenter PowerPoint Com Add-In,” and then click the “Remove” button on the right.
5. Once the Presenter Add-In has been removed from the list of “available add-ins,” click the “Add” button on the right.
6. When prompted to locate the new add-in, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Presenter 7 and select the file named “MenuLauncher.dll.” Click “OK” to continue.
NOTE:  Some users may find the appropriate file at this location:  C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Presenter 7
7. When returned to the COM Add-Ins box, verify that the reappearance of the “Adobe Presenter PowerPoint COM Add-In” under the list of “available add-ins.” Click “OK” when ready.
8. Exit Microsoft PowerPoint completely, then open it again via the Start Menu (as you would normally). The “Adobe Presenter” tab should now be visible once again.
