Problem installing Acrobat Reader on Mac with Mavericks (with error)

I tried ALL the ways to install Acrobat Reader on my Macbook with Mavericks, nothing worked!
It says "Error 301" or something like that and I already tried to download the enterprise version, the offline version, to change the login settings of my macbook. Nothing works...
All started when, at a certain point, I don't know why, it stopped working opening pdf files, saying "error, the file could be damaged or you need an updated version of Adobe Acrobat Reader", so I uninstalled the app and tried to install again. It was when I realized that the mission was harder than I thought!
Please, if anybody with the same problem solved it yet, please please share it with me!
Thank you!

I'm sorry, part of it is in portuguese!
How can I post here the install.log file?
Thank you so much!
PS: Apparently the error now is different, with no number ..

Problem installing acrobat reader

I have attempted on several occasions to install acrobat reader to an HP Elitebook running Windows 7 Professional. Each time I get the same error message:
Any ideas?

This often happens if some other installation (e.g. Windows Update) is already running.
Restart Windows, then run the installer before doing anything else.

Problem installing Acrobat Reader Pro in Mavericks

Acrobet keeps crashing and I get "configuration error 16." I have deinstalled and reinstalled, but still doesn't work. I'm working on a new MacBook Air 11" with Mavericks and this is a first installatoin. I had no problem on my old MacBook Air 13" also with Mavericks.

Thank you for the reply. I'm afraid I was unclear - it's a problem with Acrobat XI Pro, not Acobat Reader. My mistake. The link you provided was just for Reader. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Problem installing Acrobat Pro XI Mac- Error 1

Dowloaded Acrobat XI Pro Mac and tried to install. Got a "Configuration Error" message. Asked me to uninstall and install. Did so but got same error messgae. Not prior version of Acrobat on system.
Any suggestions?

Since there is no prior version, then this is a new full product and not an upgrade I assume. A common problem on the PC is to not deactivate anti-virus during installation. That may potentially be a problem on the MAC too.

I recently took my 27 in i mac to peach mac for service for a flashing green screen. They said it was not a hardware issue but a software issue and want to charge me 99.00 to re-install it. WiIll mac come out with a patch for OS x for this?

I recently took my 27 in I Mac to Peach Mac for service for a flashing green screen. It comes up when I log in. They said it was not a hardware issue but a software issue and want to charge me 99.00 to re-install it. WiIll mac come out with a patch for OS x for this? Is this worth it?

Having a similar issue with my MacBook Pro w/Retina 2012.
I did the reinstall my self and incrementally did the updates by downloading them from Apple's website instead of using the App Store.
I found that the problem occured after updating to OS X 10.9.3.
The issue is in a 4k resolution update for mirroring displays. Not that you should be doing that from an iMac but your packaged update may have been similar even though the update was meant for 2013 MacBook Pro's.
You can try reseting the Nvram chip during boot up by pressing "Option + P + R" keys. You may have to do this after entering your password to log in if you have that set up on your computer. However this only works on certain models of Mac hardware and may not do anything at all.
After you get your second opinion from Apple, if they again confirm it's a software issue, then you should reinstall OS X Mavericks and download updates from the website instead of the app store. This way you control your updates. You will find the OS X 10.9.2 update as well as a seperate security update prior to the released update of the dreaded OS X 10.9.3
Again if you don't want the issue to occur again, then hold off on updating to OS X 10.9.3, but be cautioned that you do so at the risk of leaving your computer less secured even though it will seem to run better.

Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA_1_2_3.zip on Mac

Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip on Mac? Preamble: st gen Vado HD
macbook pro running OS X Snow leopard 0.6.2
I'm having a tough time installing the Vado Central SW on my Mac. I tried installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6, too. Similar results with both, I get a message "Installation failed."? This comes as no surprise since my mac never installs anything without prompting for an administrator login. So, I ignored the instructions to plug in the Vado after the installation was complete, and plugged it in and tried re-installing the software with the Vado as the installation destination.... which makes sense since it seems to run the Windows Vado Central from the Vado. VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip would not let me select any device except the mac hard dri've.
With VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6 I was able to install change the install location to the Vado HD device. It appears to have created an applications folder containing Vado Central.app. But, now when I plug in the Vado, it still automatically starts iPhoto. If I browse the Vado and double click the Vado Central.app, OS X first prompts, asking me if I want to install the application to the local computer. Click "No", then I get prompted that Vado Central rquires the flv2ITunes transcorder downloaded and installed. Click "Yes", then I'm prompted that a newer version of Vado Central is available, "Do you want to download...", click "Yes". It downloads and installs somewhere, but apparently not on the Vado, because it puts me through all of this every time. Whatever/whereever the software is being updated, it's not changing the Vado Cental.app on the Vado, based on the timestamp.
Can somebody provide the correct installation instructions? The minimal instructions on the Creative download page appear to be wrong. (I've looked at the other threads complaining about the mac installation, they don't seem to match my experience.)
TIA

I have a Vado HD 2nd generation. I use it exclusi'vely on my MacBook.
The firmware version that my Vado came with is "v.250.
I found out the version on my unit by holding down the Delete button
while turning the unit on.
Is it possible that your unit is not installing v.23 because your unit already has a later version?
Hope this helps.

Problems installing Acrobat X as part of CS6 upgrade

After upgrading to CS6 from CS5, my Acrobat Pro 9 stopped working - it would say that there is an error and shut down, each time I tried to open it. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Acrobat 9 and the CS6 upgrade. Latest reinstallation of the CS6, installed everything except Acrobat X, which comes with the package...
Any ideas?

Still not working. I continue to get the error message that “Certain elements of or these products are not able to be installed” (translated from French). In the following error log, it says (amongst other things) :
ERROR: Error 1310.Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\3a1e5a.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory.
ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1603 - Erreur irrécupérable lors de l’installation.
MSI Error message: Error 1310.Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\3a1e5a.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory.
ERROR: DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:
ERROR: DW050: - Acrobat Professional: Install failed
When I was uninstalling previous versions of Acrobat and Reader, it had warned that it couldn’t access the file C:\Config.Msi\3a1e5a.rbf. I did try running the Acrobat Cleaner Tool as you recommended, twice, restarting each time but still no luck.
Any other suggestions?

Liar Firefox: I have download and install Acrobat Reader 11.0.0 few minutes ago and Firefox still telling lies that Acrobat has in not current version.

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

After installing Acrobat/Reader on Windows 7 or Vista, icons of all applications/file-types change t

After installing Acrobat/Reader on Windows 7 or Vista, icons of all applications/file-types change to Acrobat/Reader icon and double clicking on any icon/file launches Acrobat/Reader (instead of the native application associated to the file type). Is there an easy fix for this problem?

I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware of a native PDF viewer for Windows.
Nonetheless, if you want to change your default PDF application in Windows, you need to right click on any .PDF file, select "Properties",
then "Change",
then select the program you want to open a PDF with.

Windows Installer error while trying to install Acrobat Reader 8

I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 off the CS3 disc. I already have Acrobat 8 Professional (8.2.3) installed. I just need the Reader. Whenever I try to install the Reader I get the following error, "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnal for assistance."
I have tried all the Microsoft fixes for this situation, but I still keep getting the error message. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured out what was wrong. I had disabled User Account Control (UAC) when I was tweaking my OS. So I enabled UAC again and was able to install Acrobat Reader 8 without any problems.

Unable to install Acrobat Reader 9.3.4

What ever I do, Acrobat Reader 9.3.4 installation won't execute. The file would open and process, but thereafter; nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 using Revo Uninstaller just to make sure that there won't be any issues with the latest installation, but no changes. I've tried downloading the latest version via the download site, but no go. Anyone else having similar issues as me? I've checked the forums here and other forums to find a solution, but I'm unable to find any. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Mahalos in advance.

Hi,
I can't install acrobat reader but it seems it's for a different reason from what I'm reading in these posts. When I download it everything seems fine until I try to open it by clicking on the icon or try to read a PDF file. The Adobe reader license agreement pops up, says that I need to accept it before I continue, but there is no accept button!!! I try to scroll all the way down and nothing; there is no accept button!! I've tried uninstalling it and installing it again, same thing. I've tried the link posted in this forum and the same thing happened. It's really getting on my nerves. Can you please please help me?? It just seems so basic, but I'm totally stuck! Any help will be much appreciated!!!

Can not accept license after installing Acrobat Reader 8 and removing 6

To whom it may concern,
after installing Acrobat Reader 8, removing Acrobat Reader 6, and starting Acrobat Reader 8 the license agreemnet window appeared as aspected. The problem is it displays everything as far as I can see correctly, but it is not working in any way. I have to close the windows by clicking on the white cross in the title bar. I then receive the message, that I did not accept the license and therefore Acrobat Reader will be closed. And that happens when I click ok.
Hopefully someone over here as a tip who I can proceed. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jochen

Dear Claudio and Shari,
Liam's suggestions have been of value for me. The Acrobat Reader is up and running.
Thank's!
@Shari
I'm using Firefox as well. An the tip and tool form Liam helped.
Just give it a try. The Explorer is used by Windows for more than a simple browser.
Best regards,
Jochen
