Reader DC does not install (blank Adobe Download Manager)

I have tried multiple times to install Reader on this Windows 7 laptop, with no luck. (edit: I finally got version 10 to install correctly, but neither 11 or DC will work).
Things I have tried:
UAC is off, Antivirus is disabled, tried running the install program as Administrator (its an Admin account anyway). Cleaned out all the old versions, used the Reader uninstaller I found, used CCleaner to check for errors, ran SFC, etc. No trouble installing Flash, Air, or Shockwave all went fine, just Reader having the issues. This machine is Win 7 Home Premium, 64-bit
I can see the process is running, but it's just sitting there with nothing happening after 1/2 hour.
If I try to install DC version, it opens the "Adobe Download Manager" window, which is just a blank window, nothing happens.
I have tried downloading directly from the web page, the offline version (Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions ) of both 11 and DC and still the same problem - the install IS running, but it's not doing anything.
Any other suggestions? Thanks!!

Hi, Is this resolved for you or do you still face issues? As suggested, (http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/) should get you going. Thanks.

Acrobat X does not install the Adobe PDF printer

When I try to install the Acrobat X on a Vista SP2 machine, the installation completed successfully but it does not create the Adobe PDF icon in the printers section.
This was not a problem earlier, but there were some microsoft patches and GPO updates which happened which may be causing this issue. I am not sure what change has caused this problem.
Any ideas on where to start the investigation would help.

Adobe reader XI will not install update automatically downloaded

I'm using Win 7 64 bit. When I try to install a downloaded update for the program I get the following message:
An error occurred. Please check for updates again later.

This has been going on for a bit. Any suggestions on getting reader XI back up to speed?

Firefox Reader Update does not install older vulnerable version 10.1.13.16

This has been a problem for at least a month
In Firefox, when checking to see if plugins are up-to-date, Reader attempts to correct the problem by bringing up the download page, etc.
but it has installed the new version but not removed the older older vulnerable version 10.1.13.16 !

What new version has it installed? If it is 11.x you can have both 10.x and 11.x installed, and can choose to uninstall. Is it definitely the Adobe download page which comes up, there have been reports of scams and I haven't heard of this (but don't use FireFox).

Reader x does not install the pdf ifilter on xp

Is this an oversight or is there now a separate install?

PDF IFilter 6.0 is from 2004, according to their download page.
Adobe has really left us up the creek without a paddle here. They stopped posting the IFIlter as a separate download when they started bundling it in with Reader (except for the 64-bit version of IFilter 9 that is listed on the IFilter page above), and the installer for Reader X not only doesn't include the IFilter, but it actually removes whatever IFilter you've got installed. So, you can't, for example, install Reader 9.4 to get the IFilter from it, and then install Reader X over top of it to have a more modern/secure version of Reader, because your IFilter will disappear. You are stuck choosing between Reader 9.4 with a somewhat modern IFilter and probably poor security, or Reader X with no IFilter (or the last IFilter to have its own installer, version 6.0, which is 6 years old).
Dear Adobe, this is a real mess that needs to be fixed. How many people out there have no idea that their PDF files are no longer searchable because Reader X removed their IFilter? At least create an installer for IFilter v9.4 so people can use a modern IFilter in combination with Reader X, instead of being forced to use Reader 9.4. There are a lot of posts in this forum about the missing IFilter, and I don't see a single reply from Adobe.

Acrobat 7 Pro will not install from Adobe download 22020134.exe

I run Windows XP. I uninstalled my copy of Adobe 7 Pro to transfer it to another computer. I successfully installed the download provided by Adobe (which replaces original disks) on the other computer. I found I was having general problems with this computer (nothing to do with Adobe) and decided to uninstall Adobe 7 Pro and reinstall it on my original computer. So far it has failed to install and I get the message: Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate.
I have removed all Adobe products from my computer other than Photoshop elements.
Has anyone any ideas as to what I can try next. Anyone's help would be much appreciated.

Run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder you had before. Then reboot and install. You may still have some issues with the install since the activation no longer works with AA7. If this is the case, then check http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1287524.

Cannot abort a download on Adobe Download Manager - Help!

Hi there,
I'm have an EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING problem. I spent a good few hours downloading the trial for After Effects. It got to the 'extracting' stage on the Download Manager and showed an error saying that the disk image couldn't be opened. No idea why this happened, but that's not even my problem. I deleted the downloaded .dmg file for After effects and tried to stop the current download which was still stuck on the 'extracting' message, but I can't actually click the little 'x' to stop it, it won't let me. So, I've uninstalled and then re-installed the Adobe Download Manager about 3 times, and every time i open it it's STILL there, stuck on 'extracting' this AE download that I've already deleted anyway. I just want to restart the whole thing, start downloading AE again, but I can't get off this download for the life of me!
Anyone know how I can just force this download to abort in the Download Manager without having to press the little 'x' on the right, which appears to be frozen/inaccessible since I can't click it....
HELP THIS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING! It's urgent I get the trial up and running as soon as possible...
I'm on a Mac running Lion.

Jobenmardoukas I would recommend deleting the following folders after uninstalling the Adobe Download Assistant:
/[user name]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant
/[user name]/Library/Caches/com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant
This should resolve your difficulties with the download continually trying to extract.

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

This sentence (in french version) "le fichier ne commence pas par '%PDF-'" appears when I try to open some (not all, mainly bigger than 1Mo) PDF files within Firefox (does not happen when I download the file)

You mention Thunderbird, has the PDF file been emailed to you? If it has this support page from Adobe may help - http://www.adobe.com/fr/support/toptech/acrobat/319294/

Ff does not allow me to download adobe reader

ff does not allow me to download adobe acrobat reader

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Thumbnail preview works in adobe reader 9 but does not work in adobe 8.0

I have small issue. Thumbnail works in adobe reader 9 but but does not work in adobe acrobat 8.0 in win xp

Anyone going to tell me how to do this uninstalling and installing??????????
I don't want to mess things up even more! Geez--I'm almost 60 years old,
need to work and this might be costing me a job. I'm not 20 and text and
e-mail etc every day. I'm just asking for a little help that as I see it ,
is due to a "glitch" with Adobe's software. They can easily in their
technological minds put a warning on anything before someone downloads
anything such as "If you download this and you have already downloaded
that,, then it won't work." How tough would that be??? They, like most other
major corporations, are in it for the money. What has happened to customer
service???
I need a step by step with my hand held and so it won't screw up things even
MORE. Adobe...get your customer service and your software together...This is
draining. I may lose a job over it. I need to have my computer running well
at this point in time as there is no extra time to spend dealing with
software issue that are a result of Adobe's software incompatibility.
I was on the phone for TWO hours last night telling people exactly what was
going on. I even read the error message word for word. No one would help me
unless I coughed up the money that I don't have...and in addition I will
lose a job that might get me some money. This is why I am so upset. Why is
dealing with Adobe always so difficult??? Of course, I am upset. I'm
actually a lovely person. It is just that this stuff rattles my nerves.
Especially when there is a jobwith a raiseinvolved that I may lose as a
result.
Now I had better get dressed and ready for the job I have now before I am
late for work and lose that job, too.....
