Reader 8.1.1 Won't Install on Vista

No previous version of Reader was on the computer, and I downloaded the latest version from the website. Double-clicking the downloaded installer launches a process (AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe) in the background that does nothing. I apologize if this was addressed in an earlier topic. I appreciate any suggested solutions.

I have had the same experience. When I try to load the product, a download/installation window appears. All seems to be going well up until the moment that the install process should be completing. The window closes and I am left with no Acrobat reader! I am attempting to install the product on a laptop with Vista as the OS with all patches and updates applied. I have no idea what's wrong.

  • Reader 8.1.2 won't install on Vista

    Greetings,
    I can not get 8.1.2 to install on Vista. When I run the download I get a window asking permission to continue. When I tell it to go ahead I get the little twirling circle (that replaces the old hour glass) for a few seconds then it dissappears and that's it. No popups, no message windows, no error messages, Nothing.
    I've tried inactivating the UAC, virus protection, clearing the transaction log, running as administrator on top of being in an admin account.
    The same download installed with no problems on my laptop ( which also runs Vista Home Premium ).
    At this point I've loaded 7.0 and it's running fine; at least so far.
    There have been several posts about problems after installing 8.1.2 but I have not been able to get that far.
    I'd be greatfull for any suggestions ----- and ecstatic for a solution.
    Thanks

    I regret the moment I thought that installing Adobe reader 812.I had had a blissful relationship with all previous versions and apart from the interfering busybody (ie account control) giving me dire warnings about known compatibility problems - which ive not had - all was fine ; until I tried to download and install 812.I have had the same experience as others with the processgoing smoothly.However,each time ive ried to use it sends a record up with the message "invalid plugin detected adobe willcease workining.I disabled the plug ins and still he is on strike.Indeed,On one occasion I think he must have had his militant friends round as not onlydid he refuse to work but my whole system refused to work and I ended up having to disconnect the power.I would have made him redundant but I had already sacked his predecessor.I suppose I could try to tempt him back with higher wages but the real issue is that the longer people carry on using older versiond the more likely it is that version 7 will fall in with the wrong crowd and be a likely candidate for corruption.(why did he have a copy of woodworker monthly and has been talking to fellow conspirators about wooden ponys?).You have to retain a sense of humour but to end on a serious note - if solution is not found soon I can envisage the trial seperation becoming a permanent divorce!

  • ITunes 8.1 won't install on Vista after uninstall

    So I was trying to update my itunes and kept getting errors. I went on to uninstall it and reinstall which normally works. But this time around, I got some error messages and it won't install.
    When it is installing, I get this message:
    "An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Schemas\iCal.syncshema\Contents\Resources\da.lproj"
    I select retry in the window and it still doesn't work so I press cancel. Then it continues and terminates the install with this message:
    "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
    It then proceeded to install quicktime with no problems so I'm quite puzzled on what I can do here. I just want to listen to music and my podcasts! If anyone can help me on this it would be greatly appreciated. I've looked through the forum and support things so I need some more guidance.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Bump, anyone?

  • Onlocation CS3 won't install on Vista 64

    i have ppcs3. it came with encore and onlocation.
    when i try to open onlocation it tells me that the program has stopped working.
    any ideas?

    Well I have same problem. I know photoshop has never been the most user friendly bit of software but what good is it if you can't install it?
    The dialog with the progress bar appears for about 5 seconds and then absolutly nothing more. I am the laptop's admin. It had the majority of it's 320GB HD available. 4GB of memory and a very good display.
    I certainly won't be paying good money for something that won't install on a brand new machine.
    The most annoying thing about the whole thing is there isn't even an error message to indicate why the process was aborted.

  • Purchased XFI extreme audio PCIe for someone and it won't install on vista 32

    The hardware isn't detected and thus cannot be installed. I had the same problem with my fatality titanium but at least there was a patch download for windows 7 so the card can be detected. No such patch exists for the extreme audio PCIe which means the card won't install under windows vista or windows 7.
    Am I missing something or what? I have read other similar complaints about this particular XFI.

    EUREKA!
    Reading the bowls of the post just below, It said to make sure shockwave was enabled. It wasn't!! I enabaled it and tried my web sites and things worked fine.
    Thanks to those that post helpful answers

  • Power Manager 2.30 Won't Install on Vista on R60

    I have used System Update which tells me Power Manager is availa ble for install.  I install and its says it is successful and asks me to reboot.
    I reboot, but still now Power Manager.  If I rerun System Update, I again get told that Power Manager is available for install.  You get the idea.  Also, the first install removed my orginal Power Manager.
    I did successful install a Vista Power Manager driver.  I tried removing it and attempting again, but have only been able to install the Driver again and no Power Manager.
    Help appreciated.

    Hello,
    that´s bad, i would try a system restore, and when your system then runs satisfactionally, don´t Update!
    The new power manager seems to have trouble with starting up und some functions are deleted.
    Like showing of how much "watt" the system needs in DC mode.

  • Adobe Acorbate Reader 9.3.3 won't install

    I am running Windows Vista.  I could not install an update to Acrobat Reader, so I uninstalled what I had and downloaded and tried to install the latest version.
    I keep getting a popup with the message: Error 1303.  The installer has insufficient privileges to access the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX.  Teh installation cannot continue.  Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator.
    I am logged on as an administrator.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    If you are still experiencing same issue try following steps:
    Error 1303 is caused when there are insufficient privileges for the Installer to access a particular directory {as seen in error message}. You can try to restore the privileges by using DOS Commands such as “takeown” or “cacls”.
    Now supposing the problem directory is “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX”. On executing the below command, the Ownership of the directory will be restored to Administrator and it’s ACL(Access Control List) will be modified so that Administrator and System have Full Control over this directory.
    TAKEOWN /F "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX" /R /D Y && ICACLS "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX" /grant administrators:F SYSTEM:F /t
    You can simply cut-paste and execute the above command in blue color in Command Prompt {To start Command Prompt, type cmd in Run Window}.
    If the Command has run successfully, you should see some message like “Successfully processed 12 files; Failed processing 0 files”
    Now try to re-install Adobe Reader 9.3.3.
    Hope, it helps.

  • Adobe Reader for Palm OS won't install

    When i try to install Adobe Reader for Palm OS from the disk that came with my new Palm T/X (or from the Adobe website) it acts like it's doing something but never actually installs. Help!!!

    The Adobe Reader 305 for PalmOS setup file contains an older version of InstallShield's SETUP.EXE. For several reasons this setup version might hang without showing any GUI:
    a. A running background application prevents the setup from continuing.
    b. The TEMP-folder contains a lot of files and/or subdirectories.
    ad a: Use the Windows Task manager to check how many background programs are running. You can temporarily prevent most startup-programs from running by holding both shift-keys immediately after logging into Windows XP.
    ad b: Delete the files and folders from your TEMP folder(s). To locate your personal TEMP folder: Use the windows start menu -> click on: Run.. -> Enter: %TEMP% and press enter. Also check the %WINDIR%\TEMP folder. Some files might be in use during deletion, this can be ignored safely.
    Reboot the computer after cleaning the TEMP folder(s), then try again running the setup program.

  • Vista 32bit driver won't install on Vista 32bit, but older XP driver wil

    So I keep getting this error,
    http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/p234/Spoudazo/Xfi_Vistaissue.jpg
    It's weird, as I can install older drivers in Vista, just not Vista drivers. Oh the irony!
    Any ideas?
    I don't have the driver for the onboard sound installed, so that's not an issue.
    Currently using WinXP 32bit driver, but in order to us ALchemy I need newer drivers.
    Here's a screecap of dxdiag (Run > Dxdiag)
    http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/p234/Spoudazo/dxdiag-2.jpg

    Well, I found a link on hardforum.com that actually worked.
    Please have someone cleanup the UI on your website. :P ?

  • Flash Catalyst Won't Install - Windows Vista

    Hi,
    I'm currently in a Catalyst/ Adobe Flash Workshop and Catalyst will not install on my computer.
    I have:
    No previous versions on my computer
    No Log files were created
    rebooted several times
    Disabled Anti-Virus and Spyware
    installed Adobe Flash Builder with no problems
    tried installing from the cd, changed to a different cd and attempted to download directly from the Adobe website.
    I am attaching a screenshot of the error.
    after receiving this error it takes me to the screen to give Windows feedback.
    I am using Windows Vista Ultimate.
    Please help!

    What I meant is
    when you try to download Flash Catalyst it begins to download in order to subsequently install.
    When it gets to the end of downloading onto the system to then subsequently install so that the application can then run it suddenly stops and gives me the Bootstrapper error.
    I apologize but I am no longer in the Workshop - me nor the tech team could never get it to install.

  • Toolbox won't install on Vista x64 with HP Business Inkjet 1100

    To install my HP 1100 on Vista x64, I was redirected to the only compatible driver which was for the HP 1000.  The printer works, but has lost some of it's features such as double sided printing and the Toolbox to monitor ink levels.  A search of the forums suggested installing OJProK550_Toolbox_en.exe, but after installing that I can't get it to function because it states the driver hasn't been installed.  What driver?  I'm confused since I have the functional driver for this printer installed and even reinstalled through New Drivers to be sure I had the latest.  I suspect the conflict and failure has something to do with this optional driver I had to use. 
    Can anyone offer some suggestions please?  I hate to wait until my ink cartridges are empty before finding I need one (it usually happens on a weekeng!) 
    Interestingly, I "scabbed" this printer to my laptop running XP x32 and from there I can do doublesided printing, but cannot access the toolbox either.

    Hello, have you tried using the PCL 5 UPD? In my experience, PCL 5 runs better and is not glitchy which seems what was going on before you uninstalled it. Also, how do you have the IP addresses setup for your home network?

  • Nokia PC Suite 7.1.30.9 won't install on Vista Ult...

    Hi there,
    I'm having a problem with Nokia PC Suite for my 6300 phone. 
    My phone IS NOT connected to the PC.
    I've downloaded the latest version of the program.
    My computer specs are more than enough.
    Yet for some reason the install stops progress at 74%. The images below the install status bar continue to cycle but the bar has been at 74% for 2 hours now. I've tried the install on my work computer as well, also with similar specs and Vista Ultimate 64-bit with the same results. Install seems to hang at 74%. There is no error it just seems to hang.
    Any advice??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Haha, that's too funny, seconds after posting my question the install finished.... 2.5 hours later!!

  • Help need please! iTunes update won't install on Vista

    Everytime I try to update or reinstall iTunes when Vista restarts it goes into safe mode then "repair". The only way I can then recover my PC is to roll back to an older instance of Vista without iTunes installed. I have repeated this process several times without success.
    One hint maybe is that before updating iTunes I got this message: The file "itune library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes".
    Help please!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Instead of updating iTunes from the Mac App Store, download it from the Apple site -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download After downloading it, open the downloaded file and install iTunes 12.0.1.

    FWIW, NokiaSoftwareUpdaterSetup_en_us installs just fine.

  • Palm TX Driver Won't Install on Vista Computer - Solved!

    Hi, folks--the posters on this site have been enormously helpful to me. And now I can post something that may be helpful to others.
    I installed the Palm Desktop 6.2 Beta on my Vista machine and couldn't get the Palm TX hardware driver to install properly. I'd uninstalled, installed, uninstalled, etc. The error messages I was getting was:
    Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45), or
    This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)
    It turns out that I needed the Vista Hotfix KB936003. This is a cumulative update that updates Vista's USB core components. I had no problems syncing after installing this update. The update must be requested from Microsoft. Here's the link to MS's page about this update:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936003
    Hope this helps! And thanks again to everyone for helping to solve my Palm problems in the past!
    Happy Camper
    Post relates to: Palm TX
