Trying to install Acrobat trial - error says "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured."

Any idea what the problem might be? I have tried several browsers. The Download works fine but when I launch it I get the error:
This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance.
Thanks.

do you have any other acrobat version installed?
if not, run the clean and retry installing, Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

    Trying to download a trail for adobe acrobat on my mac and it keeps saying theres an error and "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured.

    Phillip please remove your previous installation of the Adobe Download Assistant.  Once removed you should be able to download and install the Adobe Download Assistant. 
    You may have some difficulty locating a page which offers it though as most of our trials are now offered through the Adobe Application Manager.  You can use the same link for Photoshop Elements which is offered in the discussion referenced by Rave in message #5 to obtain a copy of the Adobe Download Assistant from there.
    Alternately you can try the direct download option as offered by Rave and bypass the use of the Adobe Download Assistant.

  • Install error: "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured.

    I need help with an error I am receiving. I'm on a Mac with OS X Mavericks. I just attempted to install the Photoshop Elements trial and, in attempting to open the "Install Adobe Download Assistant", I received this error:
    "Sorry, an error has occurred.
    This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-
    configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."
    I did attempt to download a new copy of the installer, with the same result.

    you can download directly:
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

  • HT4818 When I try to partition my hard drive for Windows 7, I get an error saying The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro I believe and I really need assistance as soon as possible.

    I have Windows 7 Premium Home and I have downloaded the Drivers and when I click Boot Camp Assistance to partition my hard drive, it says, "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again." I can't do any backup really because I don't have an external hard drive to work with. I tried repairing disk permissions but that did not do anything. I really need a lot of help with this with some easy, step-by-step tutorials or something. I believe I have a 2006 version of Macbook Pro(4,1).

    Once you have obtained an external drive and connected it you will 'clone' your internal drive to it.
    Download Carbon Copy Cloner (it is not free but there is a fully functional trial version which is). Use it to clone your internal drive to your external drive. When that is done you will reboot from the clone and use Disk Utility to erase the internal drive (choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) as the format (this is normally preset, but check). Make sure to give the external drive a 'distinctive' name, don't want to get drives mixed up in this process.
    Once that is done you will use Carbon Copy Cloner (from the clone) to restore the external to the internal.

  • I cannot sign into App Store. "unknown error" and then "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

    I cannot sign in to the App Store.
    I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
    When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
    When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    I''m completely blocked. I cannot procede without being able to update my software.
    Please help me.

    You could try this.
    Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Error message: This application cannot be installed because...

    I am getting an error message when I try to install the trial version of Muse on a Mac OS X 10.8.2.
    What do I do? I have downloaded it several times over different days and I still get the same problem.

    Thank you there might still be some files left over from the previous installation.  You can try running the Cleaner tool to see if it can detect the previous installtion.  You can find directions on using this tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    Also how exactly are you installing Adobe Muse?  Can you please post the steps you are performing?  The error above is very similar to an error which can be received in the Adobe Download Assistant when trying to install an updated version on Mac OS 10.
