Repeated efforts to install Acrobat XI in OSX 10.9 fail with Message "The installation failed".
Have tried to install Acrobat XI at least 6-8 times. Always get the message "The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." This, combined with the incredibly high price, is why I get frustrated with Adobe products.
Any help to get this software installed and running ASAP is greatly appreciated.
if the uninstaller has been installed, run it. then run the cleaner, http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.
then restart your computer and retry installing.
if that fails, attach a screenshot of the error message.

I've had iTunes on my PC forever. Because recent updates have aborted with the message:"The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory... Log on as administrator," I am now attempting to download a fresh copy from the Apple website. Same message! I am logged on as administrator. I can download, then attempt to run by right-clicking on the installer and selecting, "Run as administrator" but that gets me only to the same point (and message) as attempting to install directly from the internet. I've never seen this message with any other download. What gives?
What's the precise name of the directory being mentioned? (Give the full file path, please.)

Hi, trying to get Acrobat installed on my Vista laptop but can't seem to find an icon for it in the Adobe Application manager. I have a CC license and it installs fine on my Win7 but can't seem to figure out how to install it on my Vista laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Normally if something does not appear in the download options it means the machine does not meet the tech specs for the product. In this case, Vista is not in the tech specs for Acrobat Pro XI if that is what you are trying to install. For whatever reason it skips from XP to Windows 7.

"The installation failed" error message during software install.
When trying to install software, I get the following error message:
"The installation failed"
"The installer can't install some files in "/". Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
I am attempting to install a 3rd party (Gutenprint) driver.
I know the software isn't corrupt because I installed it on another MacBook Pro.
The Mac I am trying to install it on (both MacBook Pros) are running OS X Yosemite, but that doesn't make any difference. I got the same message when it was running OS X Lion.
Any suggestions?Try following steps:
Delete the following preferences folders:
a) ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/
b) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
c) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
d) ~/Library/Preferences/Acrobat Distiller Prefs
e) ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Acrobat/
Here ~ represents your home directory.
Then Goto Applications Folder, If Acrobat folder or application is present there then delete it,
Empty your trash, Restart the machine and then reinstall the Acrobat. -
The APP store has my purchase of OSX Lion marked as "Installed", but it isn't. The installation failed and I'm tring to redownload the OS but cannot because it is marked as installed.
Any suggestions?Are you sure that the installation failed, or are you perhaps confused about what happened. It is a 2 step process for Lion. What gets downloaded to your Mac is an installer. Do you find a Lion Installer in the Apps folder on your Mac? If so, double click to open it and follow the on screen instructions to install Lion on your Mac.
Always be sure to back up your Mac before attempting an OS upgrade in case something goes wrong and you loose your entire kit. -

I cannot install iTunes 10.6.3 on Windows7 (64 bit). I keep getting the following 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 program." Anybody have a solution?
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
I tried to install the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC, but the installation failed and I have the error message "Runtime Error R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly." When I then tried to run iTunes (assuming that, since the new install failed, my older version was still OK) I got the message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114". I tried then uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it fresh, but encountered the same problems. Help!

Hi,
I've been trying for days to download Windows support software via Bootcamp assistant but it always fails with message 'Can't install windows software because it is not currently available from the software update server.'
Anyone else had problems or success with this?
Thanks in advance.9thdoc wrote:
I'm getting a similar but distinct error message in snow leopard: Download could not continue. "The windows support software is not available" and have no original snow leopard instal disc with me.
Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it. -
How to install Photoshop Elements 11 on Macbook Pro 10.8.3 after the installer failed to initialize
I tried several times to install Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro (10.8.3) but the installer failed to initialize and the Support Advisor inspection could not identify any issue. I went today to the Apple Store to get help and the Genius guy couldn't resolve the problem either. He told me to contact Adobe Support and he gave me an Adobe token number.
Does anyone knows how can I resolve this problem? Any help would be truly appreciate it!!!
Thanks a lot!!!http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-installation-photoshop-elements- premiere.html

I downloaded the 32 bit version of photoshop cc 2014. When trying to install I get the message that installer failed to initialize and that this could be due to a missing file. Has anybody a solution>?
Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer? You need to do that.
I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.
