Okay..
I finally have a few minutes to add some further information to this incredibly time consuming a frustrating chapter in the life of updating AdobeAcrobatPro9.0 to 9.2.
Short Re-cap:
What originally started this whole process was trying to update my very stable version of AdobeAcrobatPro9.1.3 to 9.2.  After hours and hours of trying to make this update including re-installing the application several times from the original DVD, calling in to Adobe Tech Support multiple times and getting on with Apple support, I finally requested a new DVD from Adobe which I got.
Using that original DVD I reinstalled the application from scratch which put AdobeAcrobatPro 9.0 on my hard drive in the applications folder.  I made sure to fix the permissions on my system first (I'm running OSX 10.5.8).  I also followed virtually every suggestion from every source both on the Internet, Adobe Tech Support, Adobe Forums, as well as suggestions from some other of my engineers who work for me since I own my own software company.
Where I am at now is that while I have AdobeAcrobatPro 9.0 installed, I cannot even update to 9.1.  I am now stuck with the original version.
I am thinking that this may have to do with the languages implementation.  The new install that I received from Adobe is ENGLISH ONLY.  I am attaching a screenshot.  All of the plugins are installed and active.
I am surmising that there is some offensive code in the updater that doesn't like single language versions of AdobeAcrobatPro 9.0.  In one of the posts a Norweigan gentleman said he got his version to finally update but he had 3 language versions in Norweigan....
If I was Adobe I would investigate the possibility that there are language dependencies that are causing this very troublesome and persistent problems for many many users.  This is a very known issue now and due to the serious nature of the security deficiencies in the Adobe Acrobat Pro product versions previous to 9.2, I would think Adobe would want to address this quickly to avoid any class action litigation for negligence in keeping their software properly patched and patchable.
Since it's apparent that the normal tiers of support at Adobe aren't able to assist the multitude of angry and frustrated users of this product that someone in a higher position at Adobe gets involved to actually try and find a real solution and not hide behind the excuse of not being able to duplicate it.
This is a cop out and pretty lame excuse for a company as big as Adobe.
I'd really like to hear from someone at Adobe who not only has a sense of pride and responsiblity about Adobe products there but who also has the technical expertise and willingness to launch a serious effort to fix this preposterous situation.

  • Unable to install Acrobat Pro 6 Upgrade on Mac Mini single CPU, OS 10.4.5

    I have a Mac Mini (1.5 GHz, Intel Core Solo) with 512 mb RAM running OS X (10.4.5)
    Unable to install Adobe Acrobat Professional 6 upgrade because I am unable to install earlier version full version (I own Acrobat 4 and 5 full versions). Finalizing install of 6 asks me to "Manually identify prior install", "Search hard drive for prior install", or "Manually locate on orig. CD". None of these options are possible (Version 5 CD is not a drag-and-drop app). How do I work around this?

    I tried "Manually select..." but when I insert original CD of Acrobat 5, I'm not able to select it. Version 5 is not a drag and drop install,...i must click on the installer to install 5.

  • Unable to install Acrobat 7.0

    After multiple install/uninstalls, I am unable to install Acrobat 7.0.  I have cs2 and windows xp. The other programs (GoLive, Illustrator, etc) appear as install options but the Acrobat 7.0 does not. (It is greyed out).
    Can anyone assist me on this?
    thanks much.

    There is a process for the Acrobat installation with CS that is a bit different than the stand-alone Acrobat as I understand it. It might be worth asking in the CS forum. I think you have to open one of the CS products, like PhotoShop and activate that, and then install Acrobat and activate it -- but that is an attempt at pulling the solution out of my lame memory.

  • I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

    How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

    Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

    unable to install updated flash player to my mac os.  Ive empty cache, tried downloading it directly safe mode, and still nothing  

    Hi Blanca rey
    You Can try Uninstalling Flash Player using - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS
    and Use the Offline Flash Player Installer for Mac (Safari and Firefox) from here - Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac
    Hope it helps,
    While you try the above suggestion,  can you also share the Version of Mac on which you are updating Flash Player and how are you doing it?
    Thanks

  • Unable to install Acrobat Reader 9.3.4

    What ever I do, Acrobat Reader 9.3.4 installation won't execute.  The file would open and process, but thereafter; nothing happens.  I've tried uninstalling Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 using Revo Uninstaller just to make sure that there won't be any issues with the latest installation, but no changes. I've tried downloading the latest version via the download site, but no go. Anyone else having similar issues as me?  I've checked the forums here and other forums to find a solution, but I'm unable to find any.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Mahalos in advance.

    Hi,
    I can't install acrobat reader but it seems it's for a different reason from what I'm reading in these posts. When I download it everything seems fine until I try to open it by clicking on the icon or try to read a PDF file. The Adobe reader license agreement pops up, says that I need to accept it before I continue, but there is no accept button!!! I try to scroll all the way down  and nothing; there is no accept button!! I've tried uninstalling it and installing it again, same thing. I've tried the link posted in this forum and the same thing happened. It's really getting on my nerves. Can you please please help me?? It just seems so basic, but I'm totally stuck! Any help will be much appreciated!!!

  • Unable to install Siebel patch 7.8.2.16

    Hi all,
    I have to upgrade from Siebel 7.8.2.12 to 7.8.2.16.
    When I tried to install Siebel Enterprise Server in our siebel server, it raised an error message looking like "Unable to install Siebel Enterprise Server: Patch is associated with a product that is not installed on target machine". I find that the pacht version is not right, that i am trying to patch a SEA version with a SIA version, but i can´t find the correct patch in support.
    I would appreciate if you have any insight to this problem.
    Thanks
    Leonardo

    Leonardo,
    Here are the patch numbers for 7.8.2.16, you can search for the patch number on support.oracle.com:
    SEA: 11687075
    SIA: 11687049
    Thank you,

  • Unable to install Acrobat XI Pro

    I recently suffered a catastrophic computer problem requiring that I install a fresh copy of Windows 8 and then reinstall all my software.
    I subscribe to CS and used the download manager to install the applications I use. All but one - Acrobat XI Pro - installed and launched flawlessly. Yet for some reason I'm receiving an error each time I attempt to install Acrobat XI. After the error the installer rolled back the action returning my computer to its original state.
    When I could not install it, I located Acrobat X Pro and downloaded and attempted to install a trial version but received another error message. I checked my system and did not find the application but I did find nearly empty file folders that contained only a short list of temporary files.
    I rely on Acrobat for my business so it is imperative that I resolve this issue. I did not experience difficulties with this software before.
    Mark

    I believe there is information in the CS forum about the installation of Acrobat with the suite. It is not a simple installation as with the stand-alone Acrobat, but requires some additional steps. I would suggest you ask in the CS forum or be willing to wait for one of the folks who are familiar with the steps for CS.

  • Unable to install Acrobat XI Pro via CC

    Whenever I try to install Acrobat 11 Pro it ends after 51% saying "the older version of Acrobat 11 Pro can not be removed". Well, there is no older version, I didn't install this software before, although I had Acrobat X previously on the machine which I deinstalled before. Are there any leftovers of the former installation? If so, how can I get my PC clean so XI will install? And: yes, I already tried the installation via "as administrator" with the same negativ result.
    Besides that, dear developers at Adobe, the error message "7" is anything but helpful ("42" would have been more acceptable )
