Reader 9.3 Install fails due to Old, Unused IE version

I just tried to install Adobe Reader 9.3 (after removing 7.0.1) on Win2K Pro SP4Upd1.
I have not used IE for years, but V 5.5 SP2 is still on the machine.
Installation unpacked, immediately posted the following message, and terminated:
This version of Internet Explorer is not supported. You should upgrade Internet Explorer to version 6.0.2600.0 and run setup again. Setup will now terminate.
I use Firefox and, occasionally, Opera or Amaya. I do not want any updated IE on the machine.
Can someone point me to a workaround that that does not in involve upgrading IE? Perhaps a CLI option to run the installation manually after extracting the five Reader 9.3\Setup Files files from the downloaded exe (which I have already done).

The assumption that everyone wants an IE BHO, or a Firefox plugin for that matter, for Reader is presumptuous.
We, for example, do not read PDF documents in a browser. Some earlier versions of Reader did not force BHO installation.
So, we have three choices:
Install a different PDF reader.
This option was considered when the same installation problem was encountered when Adobe Reader 8 was announced and queries through Adobe's official channels received no response. We remained on v7.1 instead.
Patch the installation to ignore the IE version and install an IE BHO that cannot be used by IE 5.5.
Patch the installation to eliminate the forced installation of IE BHO by asking if it is wanted.
Option 1 is most likely result since it does not require any effort on our part.
Perhaps I shall spend an hour or so one day to implement option 2. But I currently have a device driver completion date approaching..
Adobe should spend 30 minutes one day to implement option 3 as a CLI parameter.

"Quicktime is not installed or is too old of a version (39::0)" error when trying to open CS 6 psd f

I am editing some Sony EXCAM footage and decided to apply a Photoshop CS 6 filter to a potential background plate for a green screen shot. The EXCAM footage (HD, 1920x1080, 24p) plays fine in Quicktime player and plays inside Photoshop as well once imported. But after applying the filter -- which also plays properly in Photoshop -- and saving the composition as a psd file, I then try to open the psd file in After Effects, I get an error message that says "Quicktime is not installed or is too old of a version (39::0)." I have considered rendering the Photoshop comp as video, but I notice that unless I want an image sequence (which I don't) my export options are limited to a couple of animation flavors or jpeg 2000. I see no place in the Photoshop render dialogue box to access Quicktime settings and choose another codec. (An Apple Pro Res proxy might work just fine, for example.) So I'm making this a Photoshop question because I think there's something about Photoshop that is making the file unrecognizable to After Effects. After Effects does import a single frame of the image with the filter applied. (Yes, I am converting the video to a smart object before applying the filter.) Any thoughts?

Hi hertz. I was informed by Todd Koprivka (pardon if I got the last name wrong) of Adobe that owing to different speeds of development, some interactions between Photoshop and After Effects are not working as they once did. One of the programs has to catch up to the other. So, no, you can't open a video saved as a psd file in After Effects pending new developments. And while you can export your Photoshop video, it doesn't seem you have access to all your system installed codecs. I can't remember what is available at the moment. I think animation and maybe photo jpeg -- don't quote me. But it does seem that until they get the programs back on the same page, you do have to use one of those export options and then import the result as footage into AE. (Please note that I am playing this back to you from memory and may not have the details quite right, but I think I'm telling you the gist. You could try tracking down Mr. Koprivka at Adobe and emailing him. He seems to be some sort of community liason for AE.) Sorry the news isn't better -- especially as you have updated all the software and the problem apparently hasn't been addressed. That's disappointing. The workaround I'm suggesting is time consuming and, of course, you are baking in your Photoshop work. But if that's OK and you have the time for the export, you can eventually get your stuff into After Effects.

If QuickTime Player 7 isn't in the Utilities folder automatically, you can install it separately. See:

Adobe mobile reader 2.0 install fails in my T-Mobile Wing with WM6

The installation goes fine until the phone screen asks to install to phone or storage card. I checked storage card then the install fails. I have tried many times with the same results. I install to my daughters T-mobile wing with no problems. Any suggestions?

I got the same problem with you. If you check in your physical directory, you wouldn't find F:\OracleBI11G\modules\org.apache.ant_1.7.0. Maybe when the installtools installed the EPM System, it detected that apache had been installed by OBIEE. Maybe you'll find F:\OracleBI11G\modules\org.apache.ant_1.7.1. The way I took to make configtools worked was by copying F:\OracleBI11G\modules\org.apache.ant_1.7.1 to F:\OracleBI11G\modules\org.apache.ant_1.7.0 and re run the configtools.
Now I got the other problem when I tried to deploy foundation service to weblogic. It gave me EPMCFG-10067 : Failed to get admin user name for the domain.
Try to copy F:\OracleBI11G\modules\org.apache.ant_1.7.1 to F:\OracleBI11G\modules\org.apache.ant_1.7.0. Maybe after that you can help me solving my problem.

How do I recover files when the install fails due to a damaged HD

While updating to Mavericks for Mountain Lion, the install failed. It stated that the hard drive was damaged. I ran disk utilities and the option to repair is not avalible. Prior to the install there was not a problem. I unfortantly do not have a back up to restore from. Do any of you fine Apple supporters have any suggestions?

Emergency recovery of your data on your internal drive/SSD.
Can you boot in normal or Safe Boot mode (Boot Command-R)?
If so do so and run a Time Machine backup.
If you can’t run Time Machine, proceed below.
          You will need a blank disk or a disk that you are willing to erase (a lose the data on it).
          If you do not have one it is time to purchase one larger than your internal drive/SSD.
          At this point your goal is to recover as much data as you can onto an external disk.
          First, disconnect all unneeded peripheral equipment, including external drives.
          (Use an external wired keyboard and mouse if necessary.)
A)          Try to boot in normal mode (just press the power key).
          If that won't work try to boot in Safe Mode.
                    • Press the power button and as you hear the bong, then hold down the Shift key.
          If it does not work either way jump to B.
          If it booted, from the Finder > Go > Utilities > Disk Utility, jump to C
            (formatting the emergency drive) and come back to here.
          Go > Computer.
          Double click on the system disk and then on the Users folder.
          Drag your named user folder to to the recovery disk.
          If that does not work double click on the named user folder
        and try dragging each folder individually to the recovery disk.
          Repeat for other users if there are any (logging into their accounts or an admin account).
          If this works you have recovered your personal data.
B)          Boot the recovery partition.
          • Press the power button and as you hear the bong, then hold down the Command and R keys.
           If that won't work jump to E.
          Once booted, click on Disk Utility.
C)          To format (and erase) the destination recovery disk:
          Plug in the drive you are about to erase.
          Select the volume that is NOT your system disk.
          Click on Partition.
          Pull down under Partition Layout to 1 Partition.
          Click on Options…
          Select GUID Partition Table.
          Name: Emergency Backup
          Format: Select Mac OS Extended (journaled)
          Click Apply.
          Click Partition.
D)          Drag and drop the named system disk to Source:
          Drag an drop Emergency Backup to Destination:
          (Do not reverse these.)
          Click Restore (the lower Restore button).
E)          Seek expert help to test/replace the internal disk.
          If it is an SSD then trash it. DiskWarrior recovery from damaged SSDs is futile.
          Save the ailing disk. You might be able to recover data on it
          buy placing it in an external enclosure and mounting it from a healthy machine
          then using the Finder and/or DiskWarrior.
          http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
F) Once your system is healthy again be sure to maintain two reasonably current backups.

SAP NW sneak preview install fails due to error on util_connect

Hi,
if you're installing on the target machine using a Windows Terminal Service (WTS) connection, then the reason for your issue should be explained in note 688028.
Please let me know if you can access that OSS note, if you don't have OSS, I can send you the relevant information.
Kind regards,

Project Server Cumulative Update August 2013 install failed due to login issue/interruption

Hi all,
I was in the process of running the installer (exe) for the August 2013 Cumulative update "uber" hotfix for SharePoint 2013 and Project Server today (KB2817615) on three servers. I was connected to the servers via Remote Desktop, logged in as the
Farm account.
On one of the servers, somewhere during the installation, my Remote Desktop session got "hijacked" by another user who was not aware of the ongoing process..so he was logged in as the Farm account for a few minutes.
I logged back in and found that the install dialog was gone...apparently the install stopped due to the interruption in logins. So I attempted to re-run the hotfix installer, but it now says "There are no products affected by this package installed
on this system."
I've tried clearing the timer cache and running the installer using "PACKAGE.BYPASS.DETECTION.CHECK=1" but neither has worked.
Any ideas on how this can be fixed or re-run?
Thank you for your assistance!
Regards,
Kevin Worthington

Hi Kevin,
Were you able to resolve this issue. I didn't have any interruptions or login issue, the installation cancelled itself!
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

ITunes install fails due to Error Code

I'm trying to install iTunes and I get the message Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I then have 3 options - Abort - Retry - Ignore which provide no success. If I ignore it the installation process completes however it states that the installation failed 'Error Code 7 (Windows error 126)' re-install iTunes. I've tried running the download as administrator with no success.

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Install failed due to loss of power and Yosemite will now not go past login screen. Help!

I recently tried to install OS X Yosemite. unfortunately during the install my laptop was unplugged and the installation failed mid way through. Each time I start my mac I get to login screen and after logging in get an error message and told to restart and try again - which does not resolve the issue. Guest login do work to the safari screen. Any help hugely appreciated.
The error message reads:

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

App Server Install fails - due to incompatible Message Queue

I had JES 2005 q1 installed in one of the test machines...now I am trying to set up JES 2005q4 on that. I cud install a Web Server on that ut when I tried to set up the App Server it throws up a msg stating that there is an incompatible version of Message Queue installed and hence installation cannot go ahead.
I am not able to find any instance of Message Queu setup....how do I detect and uninstall old versions of Message Queue??
thx
anand

I assume you are talking about appserver install on Solaris. Message Queue on Solaris is a package based install. The easiest way to uninstall the old version of MQ is: "pkginfo -i | grep Message" ---> "pkgrm all MQ packages".

[Solved] LXDE Install Fails Due To Disabled Key

When I run:
# pacman -S lxde
I get this error:
error: lxdm: key "Daniel Wallace <his email address>" is disabled
Later I get this:
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
I'm assuming the second error is due to the first.
I did some reading and the way I understand it is that I don't need to do anything for this specific key since all five of the master keys have signed it. Do I understand correctly?
I've already done an update and I tried "pacman-key --refresh-keys" which did not help. Hopefully that wasn't a terrible idea. Also, I removed lxde from the cache and tried again with continued failure.
*marked as solved and edited out an email address.

Can I somehow copy the key database from one Arch system to another?
EDIT:
Ok, forget it.
Finally the following command sequence worked but only after deleting/moving the directory /etc/pacman.d/gnupg as suggested by the wiki page of pacman-key:
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate
pacman-key --refresh-keys

Install fails due to ORA-12899: value too large for column

Hi,
Our WCS 11g installation on Tomcat 7 fails giving a "ORA-12899: value too large for column".
As per the solution ticket https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1539055.1 we have to set "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" in tomcat.
We have done this beforehand by setting the variable in catalina.bat in tomcat 7 bin as shown below
But still we get the same error while installation.
If anybody has faced this , let us know how you resolved it

We were unable to install WCS on Tomcat 7 but on Tomcat 6 by specifying "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" in java options using "Tomcat Configure" it was succesful.
An alternative we found was to increase the value of the column itself.
Using command
ALTER TABLE csuser.systemlocalestring
MODIFY value varchar2 (4000)

The update failed because of bad drive letter.
(i have Win7 SP1 64 bits)
Then i tried to remove Reader from my computer (to do a new install later).
Windows fails to remove (bad drive letter).
Then i use the command subst H: "C:\"
The remove process is OK, Reader is no more on my computer.
I've restarted Windows and tried to install Reader again => same issue
Here is the error message (in French)
Erreur d'installation de Adobe Reader

Cannot install update due to old version. what to do?

Can't install new quicktime version needed for IPOD touch App, due to inability to uninstall older version on PC. Can't even find older version... There is Apple update software, however. Could this be fouling things up? Should I jettison that and try new install?

Okay. Just in case it's installation configuration trouble, we should try the Windows Installer CleanUp utility.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

I reboot the server,all is ok.
