Trouble installing Distiller Server 8 alongside Acrobat Standard 8

After having installed Acrobat Standard 8 on a Windows XP machine (and updating to 8.1), I attempted to install Distiller Server 8 and received the following message: "Distiller Server is incompatible with the version of Acrobat installed on this computer. Please uninstall Acrobat to proceed with the installation of Distiller Server 8. Setup will now terminate."
I've called Adobe Technical Help and Adobe Customer Service, and they only direct me from one to the other resource. The info sheet for Distiller Server 8 states that this combination is supported, yet no one at Adobe appears to be familiar with either product.
I know that if I install Server first and then install Acrobat, it will cause issues with the Server functions - any suggestions?

Adobe doesn't support using different versions of Acrobat on the same Windows computer. You might be able to run Distiller Server on a virtualized Windows computer on the same hardware (but different OS) that is running Acrobat 9.

Distiller in Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0?

We are currently using Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 to convert PostScript files to PDF.
Is this functionality still included in the Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0 package, or has the Distiller component been removed/upgraded to the Distiller Server component piece only?
Also, we sometimes have a need to insert a blank page into a PDF. I've been told that this functionality is only available in the Acrobat Pro version, not the Standard. Can someone confirm this for me?
THANKS!

Distiller remains in Acrobat Standard; it is the engine behind the
Adobe PDF printer, and you can run it separately. It differs from the
Pro version in not having watched folders and some pre-press features.

Please help As i am running out of time as i have to upgrade TFS for that first step is to install SQL server.

Hello,
The following are a few things you can try:
Copy the media to the local disk drive, unzip it (in case you are installing from an ISO file, and run SQL Server setup from there.
Try to unregister and register the Windows Installer with the following two commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver
Try to use Process Monitor to log the detailed error produced when the installation of dw20sharedamd64.msi fails. You can download Process Monitor from the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
Share with us the error captured by Process Monitor.
Hope this helps.

Cannot install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a Supermicro X9SRA

I have bought the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard OEI and it will not install on the brand new Supermicro X9SRA motherboard. I have tried to install the previous version (Windows Server 2012 Standard) and it installs fine with no problems.
I need to install R2 in order to use the Essentials role. I have also tried to install the trial version of 2012 R2. which I downloaded from the microsoft website and got the same result. The installation goes into a loop. The circle bellow the Windows logo
goes on forever and nothing happens. I can not even get to choose the language. The loop happens as the disk starts.
Can anyone please help?

Does SuperMicro support the installation of Windows Server onto that MB? I do not find any reference to X9SRA at
www.windowsservercatalog.com, which is where hardware vendor post the systems on which they will support the various versions of the Windows Server operating system. I see lots of SuperMicro solutions,
but none of them appear to list the X9SRA MB. You need to contact SuperMicro to determine if they support it.

Acrobat Distiller Server OR Acrobat Professional

Hello
I am looking to use the Adobe Distiller API inside my application which will convert Postscript files to PDF. The application will run on a server and will monitor a particular folder for Postscript files. The application will create the PDF files into another folder on the server.
We have a dev, test and production server which we will run this application on in some capacity.
I have been recommended by customer services to purchase the Acrobat Distiller Server(100 users) and that this can be deployed on all 3 servers. Could I not buy 3 licenses of Acrobat Professional instead?
Thanks in advance.

Ok. If I buy Acrobat Distiller Server then can I use it on all 3 servers - development, test and production. So really the 'actual' execution will only be on the production server.
Thanks.

How do i install the internet downloaded Acrobat Standard on a second computer in my home?

I have had Acrobat Standard on my computer for quite some time now, but I just got a second computer and would like to install it on the second computer as well. How do I do that? I don't know where to begin even

Do you have your installation media? You would want to begin by running the installer from your installation media. If you purchased the download option then please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0.

Trouble installing SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2012

I have a brand new install of Windows 2012 Server Standard Edition. I am trying to get SQL Server 2012 installed on it, but have been having a lot of trouble.
When I run the System Configuration Checker everything passes except for "Setup administrator" -
Rule "Setup administrator" failed. The account running SQL Server Setup does not have administrator rights on the computer. To continue, use an account with administrator rights.
If I go to try the "New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation then I get the same "Setup administrator" error plus the following one.
Setup account privileges
Rule "Setup account privileges" failed.
The account that is running SQL Server Setup does not have one or all of teh following rights: the right to back up files and directories, the right to manage auditing and the security log and the right to debug programs. To continue, use an account with both

Trouble installing and uninstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3.1

Adobe wasn't opening the files. I did system restore several times and it didn't work. I uninstalled all the adobe programs and reinstalled. There was an error message about administrator. I tried again. Then it said adobe reader cannot be installed. Now I could get the documents but could not print them. Next I tried to uninstall again (all through add/remove programs) Now I cannot uninstall Adobe 9.3.1, the message is "patch package couldn't be opened. verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer patch package." When I checked to see what to do the answer was to use micosoft installer cleanup utility. This application comes with warnings and I want to be sure this is the correct thing to do and that it won't mess up other things on my computer. Please help. My children are in exams and need this program.

MICU (Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility) might work, but it's something I've never used.
Regarding System Restore. I always tell people that System Restore is an absolute last resort if Windows isn't working properly. In other words, if your only other option is to reformat and reisntall the Operating System, try Restore first. Other than that it does more harm than good 99.99% of the time.
If you're comfortable with REGEDIT, you can manually delete the Reader folder from Program Files, and then delete all keys for Reader 9 from the HKEY/LOCAL MACHINE/Software/Adobe and HKEY/CURRENT USER/Software/Adobe registries, reboot, and then try re-downloading and reinstalling Reader. Again, that's IF you're comfortable with editing your registry. If not, go with the MICU.

Distiller Server 8 and Acrobat 9

Is there a way to run these two side by side? After having installed Acrobat Pro 9, I get an error message when installing Distiller Server 8 stating that it is not compatible with this version of Acrobat. I had been under the impression that the installation process for Distiller Server overwrote any previous installation/variant of Distiller.
Any suggestions?

Adobe doesn't support using different versions of Acrobat on the same Windows computer. You might be able to run Distiller Server on a virtualized Windows computer on the same hardware (but different OS) that is running Acrobat 9.

Acrobat Distiller Server 8.0 API problem

Hi im currently using distiller server 8.0 version 3016.102.
I would like to convert Post Script file using API from ACRODISTXLib. File are not converting because of directory restrictions.
I know that i can omit using "/f" argument running application but what about API usage? Is there a way to bypass directory restrictions
in API call?
here's a sample code int c# and output
ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller6 p = new ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller6();
p.Create();
short i = p.FileToPDF(@"C:\49.ps", @"C:\49.pdf", @"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Distiller Server 8\Acrobat\Settings\Standard.joboptions");
Console.WriteLine(i);

So far as I have ever heard, Distiller Server is technically identical
to the regular Distiller in Acrobat Professional, but with a licence
to run a single copy serving multiple users.
This means it has the same API and limitations, if true.

Acrobat Standard 9.5.3 and 9.5.4 Updates will not Install.

I am unable to install updates to Adobe Acrobat Standard 9. The computer is running Window Vista Ultimate 2007, Service Pack 2 and has a 32-bit Operating System. I receive the following Windows Installer error message when I try to install either update:
"This patch could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
What do I need to do to correct the problem?
Thank you.

Can you do a verbose installation from the command line using the syntax below
msiexec /p [PATH_TO_MSP\NAME_OF_THE_UPDATE_FILE].msp /L*v c:\acrobatupdate.log
Then afterward post the log file contents to the forum.

How to Disable Updates in Adobe Acrobat Standard

About 8 months ago we installed about 40+ Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 installations throughout our environment. We then have had the time to create a completely hands free installation .msi that disables the AutoUpdate feature and a configures a few more items.
My question is:
How can I disable the AutoUpdate feature on Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 without having to go into the Edit>Preferences Menu and deselect it?
Thanks for your time.

Go here:

The Updater guide has your needed information.
If you get the AIM AIR app, you'll get a database of other configurable preferences.

Installing PS Extended over PS standard

We have CS6 Design Standard installed on 3 computers in our building (through a concurrent educational site license). This has Photoshop Standard. I need Photoshop Extended. The cheapest route through our site license is to buy single user PS Extended stand-alone and install on my machine.
So, my question is, should I install PS Extended alongside PS Standard? Or is it better to uninstall PS Standard (which came with the suite), run Adobe Cleaner, then install Photoshop Extended?
And how will this effect Bridge and syncing color management?
Thanks much, for any suggestions.
Charles

There is no way to install two Photoshops. It's either one or the other. Extended will simply superceed/ replace Standard. Uninstalling beforehand will do zero to help matters along. It's simply a serial number thing that turns Standard into Extended even though you will need to run the installer again to bend the licensing in place for the new serial number. Beyond that it will simply use whatever prefs and settings are already in place.
