Reinstall Acrobat 8.1.4 "Error applying transforms"

I recently installed security update Acrobat 8.1.4 on my windows98 system. A few hours later, I sought to uninstall the same, so I could reinstall the entire program and gain the Adobe toolbars in Outlook (which were not displaying nor available). After the uninstallation, I put in the installation disc, and got an "error applying transforms."
A quick search of Google brought up this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404307.html which supposedly addresses the problem for Acrobat 8.x. I'm sure the little program works very well on 8.1.2 and 8.1.3. But there isn't any option for the very new 8.1.4 (as of the date of this writing, February 11 2011). I ran it anyway, and it informed me that it couldn't help me.
Interestingly, even after supposedly uninstalling, the program is still operational on the system, though all the acrobat icons are missing from displays in other programs. The uninstaller continues to appear in the uninstallation menu. Further attempts to use the uninstaller are met with the same error from installation- "error applying transforms."
Adobe support informed me that I would/could find the answers for my new problem here, even though 8.1.4 is a very recent update so it's a very recent problem. So, have at. How do you fix this?

You might try doing a Repair Acrobat installation (under the Help menu) first. Here are some additional troubleshooting tips -- such as deleting tmp files which Acrobat checks during the startup process.

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 Update failure- "Error Applying Transforms, verify that the specified...

I have ignored this issue for long enough. I have Adobe CS4, with Acrobat Pro version 9.3.4. Windows 7. Acrobat updater pops up on my machine, and when I execute the update requested, the updater gives me the update failure message, with code 1604, "error applying transforms."
I have seen solutions posted for this tranforms message, but it was a problem with Acrobat 8. I have seen no solutions as of yet for Acrobat 9, so I thought I would post.
I also tried opening Acrobat 9 Pro, and under the help tab, I initiated "repair". I get the same transform error message as above. Any advice anyone? Should I just uninstall Acrobat 9 Pro and reinstall using my CS4 disk?
Thanks for the help!

If you have original CD with Acrobat installation, copy all files with extension .mst from this CD to the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\[ProductCode] if this is 64bit system
or
C:\Program Files\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\[ProductCode] if this is 32bit system
where [ProductCode] is a unique value which identifies your language version of Acrobat 9 Pro.
If this is EFG version, it should be {AC76BA86-1033-F400-7760-000000000004}
If location does not exist, create it.
2. If you do not have original CD and cannot find .mst files, provide the exact Product name including language and I will provide further instructions.
Good luck

Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5 Install Error: "Error applying transforms please ensure specified transform paths are valid". Any ideas on how to fix this?

I had Acrobat Standard 9.5 on a laptop that broke. Adobe Acrobat Standard is paid for and all I need. I had to get a new PC (Windows 8.1) and I did downloaded Standard 9.5 but when I went to install it the installer gave me an “Error applying transforms please ensure specified transform paths are valid”. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Rahul,
No error numbers other than the message I mentioned previously.
I tried the transforms repair and it reported no Acrobat product (correct, none yet installed) or no administrative privileges (I am the administrator and have done previous administrative actions).
When I unzip the Acrobat file this is what is in the setup ini file:
[Startup]
RequireOS=Windows XP
RequireMSI=3.0
RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
[Product]
msi=AcroStan.msi
Languages=1033;1031;1036
1033=English (United States)
1031=German (Germany)
1036=French (France)
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroStan.mst"
[Windows XP]
PlatformID=2
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
ServicePackMajor=2

Thoughts?
Thanks again,
Tom

Error applying transforms when trying to install Agent

Several Windows XP machines were experiencing problems that seemed to be associated with the ZENworks agent. I've tried to reinstall the agent using the Install Agent utility but I received the message:
"Workstation <computer name> Failed - Windows error 1624 (Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.)"
I tried uninstalling the agent on the local computers and received almost the same message:
"Error applying transforms. Verify that the transform paths are valid."
We are in a Windows Server 2003 environment. ZENworks Desktop Management is running on a NetWare 6.5 server. I just setup Middle Tier Server on a Win 2003 box. It's only the Windows XP machines that are giving me trouble. Distributing the agents to Windows 2000 boxes worked fine.

When attempting to install downloaded update 5.6 for Lightroom: Error applying transforms.

When attempting to install downloaded update 5.6 for Lightroom I am having a Windows Installer error message: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid. I completely reinstalled the program and still got the same error when attempting to update. Creative Cloud lists the Lightroom 5.3 as "Up to Date". Please advise.
Also curious as to when the video issues will be updated: Every time I even attempt to import new pictures from a folder that has video footage Lightroom crashes. I have asked about this in the past and gotten no reply. I am rather disappointed in Adobe's customer support (or lack thereof).

'Error applying transforms' when trying to install Xcelsius 2008 fp3.2

Hello
I've just tried to install Xcelsius 2008 fp3.2 (I am currently on Xcelsius 2008 sp3). I did read the installation notes, and I wonder if the problem I had is related to the fact that I am not logged in as administrator (I'm on XP).
The package extracted and as the installer ran I got the message:
'Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform oaths are valid'.
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,

To resolve this error, copy all files from the disc to a local computer location (for example, the desktop). Install Crystal Xcelsius from the setup.exe file at that location.
Hope this helps.

Error applying transforms during PSE 11 install

I cannot install Photoshop Elements 11. First attempt resulted in error 1336. There was an error creating a temporary file that is needed to complete this installation. After reading online help, I ran MSConfig as instructed, Selected Selective startup; hid Microsoft services and disabled everything else.
Upon rebooting, my computer would not work. From the Windows 7 DVD I ran the system repair tool. This ran CheckDisk evidently. After completing the computer now works properly.
But when I try to install Photoshop this error appears: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
After searching the web it appears that the issue is in the registry. I've cleaned the registry with CCleaner.
How can this be resolved?

My IT support guy asked if I tried http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall which I had not. I ran it and it worked!

Acrobat 8 Standard will not apply transform file during installation

I also posted this in the Acrobat form before I noticed this Enterprise Installation forum.
I am using the Adobe 8 customization wizard to create an MST file for Acrobat 8 Standard. The MST file disables automatic updates, Acrobat Connect and several other items, however, when I run the install with the transform, none of the changes in the MST are applied. I am using the following command inside a batch file:
msiexec /i acrostan.msi TRANSFORMS=ACROSTAN.MST /qb
I am using the Standard files downloaded from Adobe's secure site, which were then unzipped and used with the customization wizard. I did not create an administrative installation point, as that earlier attempt also resulted in not applying the transform.
I believe the transform file is correct, as I found the above command will work the second time I try to install Standard, but does not work the first time Standard is installed using the MST file.

can you post your transform somewhere? take out the serial number before posting. You might also want to create an install log.

Error in applying transforms

A third party program doesn't recognize my Java runtime, so I would like to remove it and re-install. However, when I tried to remove it, I was getting "Error in applying transforms".
What does this mean? Is there another way to remove the Java runtime or re-install it?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Error 0000: internal error with Apply Transform Module

I get an internal error message when attempting to use a previously saved data transform (namely missing value processing using MICE). What is strange is that using the previously saved model works if I feed the exact same data that was used for training
it but generates an internal error whenever I use a sample - even a 90% sample of the original. This is the output log:

It's pretty clear no-one at Microsoft is interested in answering this on this forum. With a paid subscription plan would I be able to get a response for these types of incidents/follow up questions? You know - so I can stop throwing money away
