\Reader 10.0.1 Cannot Repair and Cannot Be Removed - Missing Patch Package

In an attempt to repair Adobe Reader 10.0.1 the following message appeared:
This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exist and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that htis is a valid Windows Installer patch package.
In an attempt to remove Adobe Reader 10.0.1 the following message appeared:

Any ideas?
Thank you

Thanks to another poster with a similar problem on this forum, I was directed to an Adobe Forum post that mentioned "Revo Uninstaller" ... I found the app at http://www.revouninstaller.com/
The uninstaller worked perfectly and I decided to load Reader ver 9.5.1 ... It works fine!
Thank you for your forum...

  • Acrobat Professional 9 and Acrobat Reader 9: cannot update, remove, or re-install ...

    After I have downloaded Acrobat Professional 9.0 updates and Acrobat Reader 9 updates, both update installations fail.
    Acrobat Reader 9 problems
    I thought that there could be a conflict between Acrobat Reader 9, which I have also installed, and Acrobat Professional 9.0, so I tried to remove Acrobat Reader 9, but the patch package could not be found. I then ran the Windows Install Cleanup tool, but Acrobat Reader 9 is still on my system. I now cannot reinstall it, nor can I really remove it
    I’d like to remove Acrobat Reader 9 entirely because I already have Acrobat Professional 9.0, but how?
    Acrobat Professional 9.0 problems
    When I try to remove Acrobat Professional 9.0 in order to re-install it from disk, I get the message that the patch package could not be found. When I insert the disk to try to repair Acrobat Professional 9.0, I get the message that the patch package could not be opened. When I try to use the Repair Acrobat Installation option in the Help menu of the program, nothing happens.
    I’m hesitant to run the Windows Install Cleanup tool on Acrobat Professional 9.0 because of the problems I got with Acrobat Reader 9 after running the Windows Install Cleanup tool.
    How can I re-install Acrobat Professional 9.0 from disk?

    Amanda,
    As Van says, yes you can have both seleced at the same time. I suspect there are other issues on your machine that are creating your problems. FWIW, I too have been running FM9 on a win7 64-bit platform with no issues.
    The Roaming Profile is used typicaly with remote logins across a WAN (wide area network), however, application specific gets stored there - depending upon the application. Since you've seemed to have resolved the issue by deleting (or disabling the profile, i.e. the apps won't look there) the Roaming profile folder, it sounds like there might have been something corrupt or erroneous in the Acrobat data folders. When you installed your FM versions, did you deselect the accompanying PDFcreator option? If not and you had an existing Acrobat installation, then some items would have been overwritten, creating some issues for you.

    This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
    First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21614450#21614450
    Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues.

  • Why do I keep getting an error message that reads "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."

    Whenever I click on a link that opens a new tab using "about:tab", an error pops up. The error box is titled "Alert" and the message reads "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."
    However, once I click OK, the page loads just fine. At first, I thought it might be one of my add-ons (Iuse a bunch), but it still occurs after restarting in Safe Mode. Any thoughts?
    I can even create the problem without clicking on a link inside a page if I simply type about:tab in the address bar.
    I am using Firefox 12.0

    Wow! I actually solved this on my own. I didn't find any thread that helped, but after reading a few, I figured poking around in about.config would help... and it did!
    Here is how I solved the problem:
    # Typed '''about:config''' in address bar.
    # When I got to the warning about voiding the warranty, clicked '''I'll be careful, I promise!'''
    # I found the setting entitled '''browser.newtabl.url''' (use the '''Search:''' box).
    # I double-clicked on the entry entitled '''browser.newtabl.url''' and deleted the info in the value portion.
    # Clicked '''OK'''.
    # Closed the tab.
    # Restarted Firefox and problem was solved.

  • When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore?

    When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore? I have all of my stuff backed up on iCloud but I really don't want to go through the hassle of wiping it clean and putting everything back on.

    This is a post from a user named edgar999 and it worked PERFECTLY:
    "OK - this is how it works:
    In order to backup from iCloud you cannot use iTunes!
    Therefore disconnect your device from your computer.
    Turn on your device and go to Settings and then go to General.
    At the bottom of this submenu there is a buttom "Reset"
    If you push that buttom you see 6 different Erase settings to chose from!
    Chose "Erase All Content and Settings" because this will wipe everything from your device and will let you restore from iCloud!  (I tried the top "Reset All Settings" but that did not let me use iClouds afterwards!)
    Once you pushed that buttom your device will be wiped clean and after some time you will see the Device Welcome Screen like on a new device!
    After choosing your location you will be asked to setup your WiFi-conection. After  you joint to your Wifi you will be given the choice to restore the iPad from a backup from the iCloud. Choosing this backup will prompt you with your apple ID and password.
    Restoring from a backup can take some time.  The process uses your Wi-Fi connection to download settings, content and data.  If you had a lot of content on your device, this can take a while.  The restore screen should give you estimates at each stage of the restore process, starting with restoring the settings and then booting into the iPad.  When the iPad home screen appears, the device will continue the restore process by downloading all of your applications.
    If you are restoring from a backup because you have run into problems with your device that can only be solved by restoring it, you can first choose your latest backup. If you still have problems, you can move on to the next latest backup, repeating the process until (hopefully) the problem is cleared."
    THANK YOU edgar999!!!!

  • I am using Acrobat Reader XI but I cannot combine and merge files

    I am using Acrobat Reader XI but i cannot combine and merge files

    Hi mdj4him,
    To combine files, you need either Adobe PDF Pack or Acrobat. (Reader doesn't create or combine PDF files.)
    You can try Acrobat for free for 30 days, if you'd like. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information. If you'd like to purchase a PDF Pack subscription, see http://cloud.acrobat.com.
    Best,

    i cannot install adobe reader. I get so far and get the message "Error 1324. All folders or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again" can you help?

    We need to know if any registry settings are causing this error.  Please follow these instructions:
    from Windows Start | Search: type regedit and hit Enter; you will see a window like this
    now click on the little arrow ▹ left from HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Next click the arrow ▹ beside Software, then Microsoft, then Windows, then CurrentVersion, then Explorer, then click on User Shell Folders
    all entries on the right side should start with %USERPROFILE%
    If you have anything different, this may be the cause for the install failure.
    Now you need to repeat the same thing for another key:
    ▹ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ▹ Software ▹ Microsoft ▹ Windows ▹ CurrentVersion ▹ Explorer ▹ User Shell Folders
    Here all entries should start with %PUBLIC% or %ProgramData%.  If you have anything different, this may also be the cause for the install failure.

  • I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9.  I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9".  How can I avoid having to do this?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
    Thank you,

    Hello:
    What operating system does your computer use? What happens when you attempt to open a PDF document rather than saving it first? Please include any/all error messages. Also, have you tried opening documents from other locations or just one in particular?
    Thanks,
