We have thousand of people that participate on the forum on a given day. All have different interests and knowledge. The people that read your post may have no idea how to help. We are fellow users, not official Adobe support staff. Your original report didn't give people much to go on. As you now given us information like your OS, we can recommend the Reader/Acrobat Cleanup Tool that removes all traces of previous versions of the software for Windows users.

Adobe Reader 9 will not install reporting installatiom package could not be opened

I have WIN XP PRO with SP3. This is a new machine and is running beautifully except Adobe Reader 8 or 9 will not install.
At about 94% done the Adobe Download manager stops and shows the following Windows Installer message
The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package.
Of course when I click OK. I get the message from the downloader that "Installation operation completed successfully". Which of course is not true.
Can any one explain what is happening, and how I should address?

Thanks for the help. Your solution to unregister and register msiexec did not resolve the problem, but it got me thinking and I continued looking down this line of thought through the Microsoft KB articles. There I found a comment per security rights authorization. I had been using an account with administrator rights, but I tried again using the actual administrator account. This worked fine. Adobe 9 is installed and running.

Flashplayer will not install. I have completed the automatic and manual installation numerous times but Firefox still says it is missing.

I have installed the Adobe Flashplayer 10.3 add-on numerous times, both manually and automatically. However, Firefox will not recognize the installation. How can I remedy this problem?

There's two different versions of Flash. One for IE and another for most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

FlashPlayer will not install on Vista (HP PC)

Weeks ago another application identified need for FlashPlayer
which I have attempted to install many, many times to no avail. I
am the Admin (single user only), ActiveX settings checked time
& time again, pop-ups not blocked, IE level set to Medium,
Norton 360 settings no longer applicable for transaction, updates,
protection & pop-ups.
Then QuickBooks 2007 company file cannot be found &
restoring company files did not work perhaps because FlashPlayer
must first be installed??. While considering uninstalling
QuickBooks, I saw where FlashPlayer was installed, so I removed it
but was unaware at the time that FlashPlayer has it's own removal!!
What is the work-around when FlashPlayer is removed incorrectly??
Possibly this may be why install will not work?
Also how does one close all web browsers & yet continue
to retain the Installation Process Sceen? Closed all and that ended
the install; retained MSN access but still no installation though
attempted many times over & over again, rebooting each
time....to no avail! Only a novice would ask that question!
Any and all suggestions welcome! Need for QuickBooks to be
working yesterday.

Success at last though I am not certain why or what. With IE7
ActiveX previously set correctly to no avail, I finally disabled
Norton 360 & ensured Pop-Ups o.k. for Adobe site only. Though
it took more than one attempt, FlashPlayer finally installed. Note:
While attempting on a 32 bit, I would see where installed in
Programs & then it disappeared - totally after reboot.
Persistance pays!
As to using Firefox, I have not had time to install &
experiment - perhaps one of these days there may be time to install
& learn to use! Until then, if IE7 is supposed to work with
FlashPlayer & it finally does, I want IE7 to perform; it
finally does though many hours of frustration in doing so.

Internal Card Reader Driver Will Not Install -- Pavilion g4-1319tu

1. Product Name and Number: HP Pavilion g4-1319tu
2. Operating System installed: Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
3. Error message: none
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: none
At first my card reader did not show up at all in Device Manager until after I actually inserted an SDHC card yesterday 17 jUNE 2012. Windows recognized the card and installed its own driver, Microsoft driver version 6.1.7600.16385 dated 21/6/2006, with the device's manufacturer being listed also in Device Manager as only "(Standard disk drives)" at Location 0, with the status shown as "This device is working properly". The card reader worked (and still works) and appears -- but only with the SD card inserted, otherwise it does not appear at all -- in both in Device Manager and in Computer>Devices with Removable Storage. I went to HP's Support Wizard site to update the driver. The site detected my product correctly and offered an update, "Realtek Card Reader Driver -Version: 6.1.7601.85" (sp55030) to download. I downloaded it and installed it. The newly downloaded driver shows up in Programs and Features. However, even after many uninstall / re-install attempts, the new driver version refuses to show in Device Manager's driver properties for the device. It also does not show when in Device Manager I try to manually update by "Browse my computer for driver software>Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer". All that shows is the old generic Microsoft driver named above. If while in Device Manager, I try to update the driver manually by "Browse my computer for driver software>Search for driver software in this location (folder where it is saved on my notebook)", it shows, but still will not update / install. A message pops up saying there is no driver in that location. In addition, after I eject and physically remove the SD card from my notebook, the device and driver also disappear from Device Manager until I re-insert the card, even when Device Manager is set to "Show hidden devices". Please advise.

Hi, Ken:
The parts list for your notebook indicates that it has an Atheros 9485GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi and 3012 Bluetooth 4.0 combination adapter.

Give these a try...
When a notebook has a combination wireless/bluetooth card, you install the corresponding model bluetooth software for the model wireless card your notebook has.

Adobe Flashplayer will not install

I am trying very unscussefully to install Adobe Flashplayer. I operate on Windows 7! I kept getting eroor messages on "social network" sites that I needed Flashplayer. Well, I had (operative word) Flashplayer. After several times of errors "installing it", I de-installed the existing one! NOW, I cannot get any version to install. If I have to, I can use "restore" but that is NOT really acceptable. What is going on and why is this product not installing? I do NOT want any "add on" things like Google Chrome or any other products. I simply want this product properly installed and functioning on my computer! HELP!

Click Start, type msconfig.exe, press Enter, click Selective startup, uncheck Load startup items. Click Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, click Disable all, click Ok, click Restart.
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?
After the install.
Click Start, type msconfig.exe, press Enter, click Normal startup, click ok, click Restart.

Reader X will not install

Hey all,
    I have Vista 64bit service pack 2. I download the installer exe program fine. After trying to run it, nothing happens. It does show up under task monitor processes but with no activity. I have tried 3 browsers, IE9, Chrome and Firefox. All with the same result. I had reader 9 and kept getting a message to install 10 and it would not work so I uninstalled 9 and now have no reader. I also have no Adobe entries when using Windows Install tool. I also have tried disabling my Avast AV program and then turning it off all together with msconfig. Also when I go to the direct download link I can put in my OS but it will not let me put in language or version. The same thing happens when trying to get an older version. I also tried adjusting my IE9 security settings per this site help files.
   Any sugestions on what to try from here? I do have Flash player 10 ActiveX, Flash player 10 plug in and Spelling dictionaries Support for reader 9. Maybe uninstall some or all of these?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

You may want to try the following.
Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Then, download the Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and perform a clean install.

Adobe Reader 9 will not install on MacBookPro

After downloading the proper Adobe Reader 9 for my MacBookPro (Intel processor), I get the message " Adobe Reader 9 cannot be installed on this computer. Make sure your system meets the requirements." Anyone else have the same problem? Please help.
Suresh

OK, I just realized the mix up in my earlier posting/s :-(
The *****.ppc.pkg is the powerpc version which I had downloaded earlier and the ******.i386 is the intel version which is the correct version for my MacBookPro. I use Firefox browser, and at first I thought that since Adobe was not in its list of allowed sites, it was preventing installation. However that is not the case, since the problem persists even after I added Adobe to the list of allowed sites, and even when I downloaded using Safari!
Mike, yes, I have rebooted a number of times, but have not yet tried to reinstall the OS from the disc. I do not quite understand what you mean by different administrative user; I am the only user. I just downloaded applejack and supposedly it was installed on volume HD, but I do not see it anywhere! Another mystery.

Flashplayer will not install in windows 7, 32 bit. why is that?

Have tried and tried to get flashplayer update to install. I continue getting message I must exit Internet Explorer. Sometimes it appears it has installed (FINALLY), but then everytime I try to view files using it, get a message I must install it. Why is that? This is very annoying and frustrating. I've never had this problem with any other updates!

Hello
I just bought an Ipod as what tryingto get itunes to load for 5 hours last Friday night and another 4 hours on Saturday til my head exploaded
I then installed an older version of itunes and it worked but the new version didn't
In the end I re-installed XP home as a "repair" not clean install so that I wouldn't loose any work on my PC and within 40 minutes or so whatever was missing from my PC was installed and itunes 6 went on with no problem
My advise is don't go round the houses like I did, just "repair" your XP installation and it's done
Well, it did for me at least
Hope this helps

Adobe reader 9 will not install

Hi all
I need some help, I run a Vista 32 bit PC, Adobe updater has tried to update the reader from version 8.1.2 to 9, it downloads new files successfully, activates the installer almost completes to 99.9% then stops with an error! See the alert box message given below.
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package AcroRead.msi
When I close this error box I get another message saying there was an error 1714 older version of adobe 9 could not be removed.
Likewise there is a copy of adobe 8.1.2 which I am unable to uninstall from the control panel programs and features any help to this solution would be much appreciated.
Thanks James

Hello:
I have had trouble upgrading Adobe Reader 8.1 for many days.
So, I had never deleted previous releases (i.e Release 6/7 or versions either) so I went back and removed all Adobe Reader releases through the Control Panel.
I attempted to load Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and received the following message: Error 1316. A Network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\Windows\Installer\Rdr60ENU.msi
The system backed out all changes and now I am without any Adobe Reader. I do not know what to do as I could not find this error message in the Knowledgebase Search database.
Please advise

Reader X will not install on Vista

Hey all,
First time forumer here... Here's the story
downloaded pdf zip for taxes. "access is denied" Nowheres to be found in downloads folder...
download each pdf indiivually and fine in 8
downloaded pdf to AR831
Scrolls slow
Download 1mb pdf...
get 50-75 way through and freezes
Now decide to download X/10.1.2 in firefox
save file and downloads in 2 min fine. Shut off avg and za
go to double click to open and noting happens. Right click and open is ghosted.
Update ff.. Same thing. Shut ff off and go directly to downloads folder and nothing there
Update windoews and then try to repair 8 and get nowheres with 8 just stalling after prep windows
Try in IE select run. Nothing!
lIke the laptop doesn't wanna take it. Tried 9 same thing. Tried to install the whole version of x and nothing. Everything else works fine
No problems with my 2006 xp w/original vid drivers getting X to go in. If I take adobe out completely I'm afraid it wont even take it back! I've ended reader_sl.exe and still nothing. I've tried all the links on the help page. Tried direct from 8 and still nothing.
It's like vista doesn't like it so it just spits it right out. Unless AVG Free 2012 deleted the installer which I can't find in pgms. So I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Unless they're having issue like the help page said... I don't know!
