"Requires Internet Explorer 6.0" error message

I'm installing Acrobat 9 Standard on Windows XP.
The installation begins and then quickly returns an error message saying the installation requires Internet Explorer 6.0.
I'm already running IE 6.0 -- 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2
What's wrong?!

I'm having the same issue. Our environment is Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8. Deploying with AD or manual install give the same error message. The registry and IE8 both report the correct version.

Hi broom,
I get exactly the same message you posted for this site.
"Requires Internet Explore 5.5" I see no option given.
With both Safari & Firefox , they use Activex plug-ins?
which is a microhard plug-in I believe.
Big profile site don't usually block MAC users do they?
"Ummh. i would say they certainly do not seem to care one way or the other for they do not support Firefox either, Ms does not support the IE browser for mac users beyond 5.2.3 which is not a secret to the webmasters.I feel they are shutting us out. "

"Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater"

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater is the error that jumps up when I try installing it. Currently this system is running Internet Explorer 7 which is installed at it's default location. Any clues what can have gone wrong?
Version 7.0.5730.13
Build 75730
Program path C:\Program\Internet Explorer (Swedish computer)
Language Engelska (USA)

I came upon this post after receiving this error message when trying to install Acrobat 9. In my case, we deploy Acrobat from an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using Group Policy. I believe the user at this computer pulled the plug while the group policy deployment was taking place. I got the error when trying to install the program manually afterwards.
I was able to rectify the issue by running msiexec.exe against the MSI in the AIP with the /x switch, performing an uninstall:
msiexec /x \\server\deploy\AcrobatStandard9\acrostan.msi
(The program was not showing up in Add/Remove programs, otherwise I would have tried uninstalling from there.) After that, the install proceeded successfully.
Hope this helps someone.

Adobe Reader 9.x & 8.x "requires Internet Explorer 6"

Friends PC in Italy had Reader 9.0 (Italian) installed and working fine. It has had Reader in various versions Italian & English over the last 5 years with no problems.
Tried to update it to latest/securist version but got an error message that the update had failed in Italian (which I don't read)..
Decided to uninstall and reinstall the latest version instead.
Uninstall went through fine via control panel with no errors.
Installing the 9.1.x Italian or English for XP SP3 (and also the 8.x.x) all fail every time with, the English version error message saying (and the Italian also) every time at c99% of the Nosso Adobe download manager:
"Adobe Reader 9.1 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater. Please visit www.microsoft.com to upgrade Internet Explorer."
XP is XP Pro SP3 (Italian)
MS IE about says 7.0.5730.13
Belarc advisor reports Microsoft Corporation - Internet Explorer Version 7.00.6000.16850
Have followed the MS KB 917964 tips to (a) reset IE7 and (b) Reinstall IE7 with no change in Adobe Reader symptoms = stuck without Reader which is not a happy place to be.
HELP anyone ?

Thanks, MK. I was hoping the fix would be as simple as modifying an entry in the registry but everything seems to be in the proper order this far. I have seen a resolution to this issue which involved using a program named Orca to modify the MSI installer package so that it foregoes checking for IE but that should be totally un-necessary and it a fairly technical approach. I can provide you those directions if you are interested but I'd rather have you check a few others things first to see if we can actually get to the root of the issue.
First, let's try running a few Microsoft tools to hopefully resolve any errant registry or disk issues:
Cleanup temporary files:
1. Open My Computer
2. Right-click the C:\ drive > click Properties
3. Click Disk Cleanup > place a checkmark in all options except "Compress Old Files" > click OK
Repair file system issues:
1. Open My Computer
2. Right-click the C:\ drive > click Properties
3. Click the Tools tab > click Check Disk
4. Place a checkmark in "Automatically fix file system errors"
Repair registry:
1. Disable any anti-virus software that may be installed
2. Go to: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/center/whatsnew.htm
3. Click Full Service Scan
4. Install any necessary plugins when prompted
5. Run the complete scan when prompted and allow it to fix any issues it finds
Since we are dealing with an Italian version of the OS, the site may redirect to the Italian version of the site (hopefully one exists). The OneCare Live safety scanner is meant to be a security tool for removing malware (not great at that part of its job) but it also includes a registry repair tool that has resolved many odd registry issues I have encountered since finding the tool.
Finally, if none of the above fixes the issue, Adobe has a tool named CS3Cleaner which removes all traces of the Adobe SC3 suite. In doing so, it has proven to also remove most, if not all traces of ANYTHING Adobe. Uninstall all Adobe products prior to using this tool and see if it doesn't clean up any miscreant traces of the corrupted file and/or registry that may be causing the issue.
CS3Cleaner: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
My bag of tricks is getting thinner so if this doesn't fix the issue, I will have to dig deep to see what else I can come up with.
Best of success!

Solutionbank requires internet explorer v6 or higher

Hi,
I recently bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 which uses Internet Explorer 11 and have been unable to use a CD-ROM (supplied in a textbook I bought) livetext program on which there are stored answers. I desperately need to use
this as I have exams in about 2 months and am severely stressed so this is not helping at all since this is the only way I can check that I am doing my work correctly.
On my old computer with Windows Vista I was able to open the program successfully but with this version I am unable to. I have tried Mozilla, Firefox and Google Chrome but they too do not work and anyway I prefer to use Internet Explorer.
The program is an "Application (.exe)". Whenever I press the link to the livetext program (known as solutionbank) a message appears
"solutionbank requires internet explorer v6 or higher".
I have checked the Microsoft forums for help but no one seems to know anything about the issue.
Thanks

Hi,
probably, this application software is performing a check of the browser version (using some custom/internal method known only to the software developer) and it doesn't like what IE11 has to say.
Check the website or support information for this software, they may have a patch or update for it, to allow it to correctly recognise IE11.
Because it's an application, and not a website, I can't see a way to get IE11 to tell a version lie, (although you might be able to do so if you try modifying the UA string in your browser).

Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater

Hello,
I have a user who has reported Adobe Reader was not installed on his PC, which we complete via GPO as default for all our computers, and has never been an issue (WinXP and Win7 (x64) ). When attempting to install the reader manually, I received "Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater" This is a Win7 box. It comes with IE 8! Can anyone point me to the registry path the installer is looking for to determine the version of IE? I've checked HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and verified both "Version" and "W2kVersion" read 8.0.7601.17514.
I realize Reader X is available. We're not ready to deploy it yet. So any suggestion other than simply "install Reader X" is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.

I know I'm considerably late to the reply here, but I had the same issue with a Reader X install done via GPO. This may be relavent info for the future, and may work for Reader 9 as well
I read that someone had tried running the command line uninstall for an older version of reader, as it seemed to have not been removed completely. I threw together a batch file to attempt to remove all the reader installs we had available along with the font packs. Some of the font packs won't remove unless reader is present, so it re-installs the latest reader, removes the font packs again (to get whatever it missed) then reloads the font packs.
So far this approach is 1 for 1. Hopefully it helps out if you still need it.

Internet download - unknown publisher error message

Hi
I am having problems when I download from the internet, I get a windows error message saying unknown publisher, also my internet pages show error on page, some of the page is missing or it is full of rubbish. This has only been happening for the last few days, but it is appears on every download, I have tried to restore but it only goes back 5 days.
Help, this is really frustrating.
Thanks
Chris

thanks for your response but I cannot download Firefox, I have reduced my security settings, disabled the antivirus and I am still getting the same message

does anyone no what should be ticked or unticked on my security settings??????????????????????????????????????

Can I use a HP printer that requires Internet explorer?

Can I use a HP printer that says it requires Internet Explorer with my Firefox Web browser?

Are you talking about the HP Smart Web Printing program and Toolbar for Firefox?
That application adds a few features to Firefox, but it won't stop the printer itself from working with Firefox. My advice is to download the latest version of that program from the HP website, and you'll probably find that the latest version of that application will work with Firefox 3.6.x versions.
IMO, HP is lax about updating that application when Mozilla releases a new major version of Firefox, thus inconveniences their users unnecessarily for a few months while they take their time making an updated version - work they should have been doing when the new version of Firefox was being tested in the Release Candidate phase.

Internet Explorer Experienced an Error

When I play gamesville.Com, about every 45 second the error message showing that the Internet Explorer is experiencing problems, will see if they can resolve and reopen, it always will reopen in a different window. I know its not the modem or my carrier because I play the same game on my laptop and it works great.

Hi,
First, reset Internet Explorer as follows - be aware that this will remove Bookmarks and Saved Passwords etc.
Open windows Control Panel, open Internet Options, click the Advanced tab and then click the Reset button. Click 'Yes' or 'Ok' to any further prompts required to complete the process.
Next, reinstall Adobe Flash as follows.
Download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the PC.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if your game will play Ok in this browser - if it does, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer launch gets error 2. What do I do?

Last night I was surfing the internet and suddenly Internet Explorer stopped and I got the message that unexpectedly quite because of error 2. I cannot get it to start again, PLUS of course my email is in Outlook Express, and that's not functioning. What can I do??? Help please!
You can email me at [email protected] with an answer. I am really stuck! (If I can't get the application back, is there somewhere in my computer that my address book and my favorite places are stored that I can get to???)
Thanks.

Hi, alienbx -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Re Internet Explorer -
Try increasing the Preferred memory allocation - adding 20 or 30 thousand, or even more, is not excessive.
Article #18278 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
Also, before running the program again, clean out its Temporary Files folder (that folder is usually emptied when IE is quit, but if IE crashed, rgw folder was not emptied and may retain a damaged file). You'll find that here - System Folder >> Preferences >> Explorer >> Temporary Files
You may also find it helps to trash IE's cache file, which is named IE Cache.waf. You'll find that here - System Folder >> Preferences >> MS Internet Cache >> IE Cache.waf
<hr>
Re Outlook Express -
Try compacting OE's database files. You can do that by holding down the Option key while starting up OE - you'll be asked if you want to compact the database files; click okay, and follow the prompts.
<hr>
There is one file that is used by both IE and OE, writing to it so frequently that it sometimes gets damaged. That file is the Internet Preferences file, which is created by the Internet control panel but is also used by other programs. You can throw it away, and then restart the Mac - then open the Internet control panel and a new Internet Preferences file will be created automatically.
Note - throwing that file away will reset all settings in the Internet control panel to defaults, so those would need to be re-entered afterwards. If that control panel can be opened now, it may be of advantage to take screenshots of each of its pages before trashing the Internet Preferences file - doing so makes re-entry of the info a lot easier.
<hr>
OE's address book is kept with the rest of OE's database files, here - (hard drive) >> Documents >> Microsoft User Data >> Identities. In the Identities folder will be at least one folder, perhaps more if you've created additional accounts (identities). The original one should be named Main Identity; there will be an additional folder for each additional account. I'm not sure, but I think the Address Book is the file named Mailing Lists.
IE's Favorites are kept in a separate file in the Explorer folder in Preferences; the file's name is Favorites.html
Those are good files to back up regularly.

Internet Explorer + Quicktime = Read Error: 0x66869BC7

I've never run into a bug like this one regarding quicktime, but here's what is happening..
I'm using Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11, which I believe is the latest.
I downloaded the latest quicktime last week. Now quicktime works fine when viewing movies with the standalone client, works like a charm.
However, when I got any website, even Apples, and view an embedded *.mov file and then close IE7.. the browser closes but I get the read error popup. It says A read error occured at 0x66869BC7 at 0x00000014. However, the same sites work fine when I use firefox and they worked fine when I was using IE6.
So I tried a few things.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime, same issue. I tried the version before last, same issue. I tried a third party program that plays quicktime content, same problem. I even created a new admin user account under XP.. logged into it.. same problem. I also cleaned the cache and cookies.. same problem.
The only thing I have not tried is to reinstall IE 7.
Anyone have any ideas what can be causing this?
I also ran a ram test.. no issues there..

This has been a problem since October 2006; see both Quicktime 7.1.3 and 7.1.5 are incompatible with Firefox 2 and IE7. Apple has yet to acknowledge this problem or provide a fix.
Other Symptoms of this error:
1. When trying to view QuickTime movies a poop states "Plug-in did not start properly"
2. IE is crashed
3. Upon closing IE after viewing a QT movie a popup will state: A read error occurred at "xxxxxxxxx" at xxxxxxxxx.
I'm sorry I can't help fix this problem but Apple has provided NO help. Read this thread specifically my posts (darwinj2006) to allevate some of the problems
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4025870#4025870
Hope it helps
