Reader X fails install in Windows XP SPK3

Why does Adobe Reader X fail during installation in Windows XP spk3? I
t gets about 2/3 through and then exits with an error.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing.  I have tried a registry cleanner.
What do I need to do to have the installation work?
I also tried downloading it from a different URL.

I found the solution to my problem with installing Adobe Reader X in Windows XP SPK3.
I ran a tool from Microsoft to do a "clean" uninstall of Reader X.  Before I ran this tool, it appeared as though Reader was removed, but upon going back into add/remove programs, there it was again.  This tool "fixed " the uninstall problem and uninstalled Reader.  Now I installed Reader X with NO problems.

  • SOLVED :Flash Player fails installing on Windows XP SP3 ,error 1007

    Hi,
    I would like to report a failing installation for FlashPlayer.
    The good news is that using the offline installer ( also v 17.0.0.134 ) i have now the Flash Player installed and running :-)
    However i will tell my experience for later readers - and hopefully the developper can fix it for future releases:
    I download the file install_flashplayer17x32_mssd_aaa_aih ;executing
    the file starts the installation process, but after about the 66%, installation fails, and then
    a browser window with the following url is shown:
    https://get.adobe.com/es/flashplayer/completion/aih/?exitcode=1007&re=0&type=install
    The installation has been performed using an admin acount.
    Also i've tried executing the reset_fp15.bat file without success.
    Machine is a DELL LATITUDE D505
    Problem is reproducible.
    The installation log and versions used follows a few lines later.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks,

    Thank you for your response. Being a newbie to Microsoft
    Vista (which I recommend the world to reject) I don't know exactly
    how to describe how I got the install of Flex Builder 2 to work.
    But, a friend of mine walked me through turning off the Windows
    Defender security settings as well as all security settings related
    to my user's setting. I believe I disabled two Vista "features",
    and then the install worked. The only thing was that the checkboxes
    during the install program did not appear, but clicking the
    respective questions themselves did the trick (i.e. do you agree to
    software license?' and 'install Flash player on IE / Firefox?')
    Sorry I can't be more specific... but, for anyone that has
    this problem, in the words of my friend, "Turn everything off in
    Vista you can, then try it!".
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Reader V9.0 will not install on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate Build 6001 and tried to install adobe reader V9.0. The download was fine but when I run the program (AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe) it returns the error:
    "NOSSO (R) has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
    Close program"
    So I guess my questions are
    1. Is there a version of adobe reader that will install on windows vista ultimate SP1?
    or
    2. Is there another pdf reader that will work with Vista Ultimate SP1?
    Thanks for any and all assistance!!
    Mark

    I am getting the exact same error:
    I have a brand new HP xw8600 systems with 64 bit Vista Ultimate installed.
    Via google I found a suggestion to turn on user account control.
    I went to control panel > User Account > Turn User Account Control
    checked the box and restarted the system. I ran the install as the administrator. It was a minor improvement. Instead of the error coming up immediately like it was, I got the OS confirmation asking if I wanted to install the program. I got the failure right have selecting "yes"
    Running out of clues... any help?

  • Adobe Reader Won't Download On Windows 7

    Worked ok on Vista, After
    installing Windows 7 (Clean & Install) Adobe Reader won't install on windows 7, goes through the process says 100% installation complete, then nothing. Any ideas.

    I havent faced this issue as such on my WIN 7 OS. Worked fine for me.
    You might be able to find the cause behind the problem by creating the error log for the installer, using the following commandline switch:
    AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe /l
    the "\l" switch will create an error log (if any) in the temp directory. (%temp% \ BootStrap.log)
    If you can share the log details, it may help in deciphering what exactly is the root cause behind your problem.

  • Windows Search Service failing to install on Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server

    Hi,
    I did the test and could install the Windows Search Service without problem.
    Which role did you installed on the terminal server?
    Did you try to install it on another windows server?

  • USB Console (Serial) Driver fails to install on Windows 8.1 x64

    The USB console cable driver v3.1 will not install on Windows 8.1 x64.  Had a similar problem with Windows 7 x64 but this was fixed using Greg's (greggar25) excellent step-by-step procedure (see post: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11492306/usb-console-driver-install-failing).
    I am using the driver from this link: http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=282774228&flowid=7442&softwareid=282855122&release=3.1&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
    I followed the same procedures I did for Windows 7 and the install goes without a hitch.  Reboot and connect the USB cable, opened Device Manager and now I have a COM Port randomly appearing and disappearing with its number incrementing well above 1,000.
    A few times while it appeared for a few seconds, I was able to right click on the properties, update the driver and chose Cisco Serial and it settled down but it did not assign a COM port.  Then a few seconds later, it starts the disappearing/reappearing thing again.
    Anyone have luck getting this to work with Windows 8.1 x64?

     Hi,
    open Device Manager by simply typing the words on the Windows 8.1 Start Screen. The Search Charm opens and click Device Manager in the displayed list. 
    In Device Manager a new hardware category, CiscoUsbConsoleWindowsDriver, is displayed. It has two components: the Cisco Bus enumerator and the Cisco USB to Serial adapter. Expanding the Ports hardware category shows a new Cisco Serial port. 
     or 
    Look into below 
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11492306/usb-console-driver-install-failing
    1) Install the usb console driver\windows 64\setup(x64)
    2) Follow the wizard and accept the defaults
    3) Restart the computer (the installer usually says it needs a restart)
    4) After restarting the computer, plug in the usb cable
    5) The computer should say installing Device driver software and fail at the Cisco Virtual Comm Port00
    6) Click the Windows button, right click computer, manage
    7) Under Computer Management, Click Device Management
    8) Go to Ports (COM & LPT)
    9) You should see the Cisco Virtual Comm Port00 with a Yellow Exclamation point on it
    10) Right Click on the Cisco Virtual Comm Port00 and select Properties
    11) Click the Driver Tab
    12) Click Update Driver
    13) Select Browse my computer for driver software
    14) Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
    15) Choose the Cisco Serial Driver
    16) Device Driver is installed successfully, take note of the com port it is using and enjoy.

    The last update failed on
    my window 7 home prermium pc, resulting in me having to try it manually download and install,
    this also failed leaving my I tunes not working, I tried restore back to a
    safer date, but every time it tried to update it failed. eventually it told me
    to delete and reinstall, this fails due to the apple mobile device service
    failing to start, and asking me if I have sufficient privileges to start system
    service, I have tried all suggestions on iTunes page, ie delete everything to
    do with apple, and start as administrator, nothing works, help please

    I too have tried the latest iTunes (12.1.1.4) in Win7. I did a search for latent drivers as you noted but found none. I am glad it worked for you - I'm still no-joy at this point. I'm able to install AMDS over and over again, without issue - it just doesn't start then iTunes launch fails with Error 7. I have to manually remove it.
    I am able to connect my iPhone via USB cable and access my photo storage on the phone. I am just not able to install iTunes anymore. I have attempted resolution to this issue for almost two months now. Until that time, I was content with what was installed. It was only when the proverbial update box appeared that I attempted to 'update' my iTunes. WHAT A MISTAKE putting blind faith into an Apple request to update. I SUGGEST NOT TO UPDATE YOUR ITUNES IF IT IS RUNNING PROPERLY!
    I realize now, once again I might add, my reliance on software provided by others. It's like anything else, I shouldn't rely on just one method for anything. Time to search for a more pleasant alternative than Apple. Truly, when it worked, it was good at its job, but now that I am wasting time I am looking seriously at upgrading to another type of smartphone and media management software. Way too much trouble for anything as simple as this should be. I wonder, is this a result of another feud with Microsoft?

  • ITunes 11.1.3 download fails to install for Windows XP

    Currently have iTunes 11.1.2.32 installed on a Windows XP SP3 PC. Control Panel lists version as 11.1.1.?. After downloading 11.1.3 install fails because "older version can't be removed". Uninstall of older version from Control Panel also fails.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
