Unable to install Acrobat Reader, Error 1406

Hi,
I Previously had Reader9 Installed, but when trying to upgrade I always had a failure.  However the reader continued to work without the upgrade. I  run Windows XP on this machine.
A few months ago a tried removing/uninstalling  the Reader & reinstalling, as per instructions.
I no longer have any pdf reader on this computer
This fails to install geting to 73% of install, & stopping, with Error 1406.
"Could not write Value diable exceptionchain etc etc"
I have followed the instruction as per http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-1402-error-1406-acrobat.html without success.
Can any one advise how I may remedy this issue?
Thanks

Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool and reinstall from scratch.

  • 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!!!

    I am trying to install Acrobat reader and acrobat flash player on my Laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T420) after installing windows 8.1 64 bits, after successfully downloading both software, the adobe reader installer opens with a dark grey box and nothing else happens.

    Kindly advise.

  • Error Message:  Unable to load Acrobat Reader control

    Error Message:  Unable to load Acrobat Reader control.  Please make sure it is correctly installed. The user I am dealing with has Adobe_Reader_9.4.4 & AdobeAcrobatStd911-L.  Can you give me some assistance as to why she is unable to open her file.

    That file only? And before version X, Adobe did not recommend having Acrobat and Reader installed in the same Win computer...

  • Windows Installer error while trying to install Acrobat Reader 8

    I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 off the CS3 disc. I already have Acrobat 8 Professional (8.2.3) installed. I just need the Reader. Whenever I try to install the Reader I get the following error, "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnal for assistance."
    I have tried all the Microsoft fixes for this situation, but I still keep getting the error message. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Nevermind, I figured out what was wrong. I had disabled User Account Control (UAC) when I was tweaking my OS. So I enabled UAC again and was able to install Acrobat Reader 8 without any problems.

  • Problem installing Acrobat Reader on Mac with Mavericks (with error)

    I tried ALL the ways to install Acrobat Reader on my Macbook with Mavericks, nothing worked!
    It says "Error 301" or something like that and I already tried to download the enterprise version, the offline version, to change the login settings of my macbook. Nothing works...
    All started when, at a certain point, I don't know why, it stopped working opening pdf files, saying "error, the file could be damaged or you need an updated version of Adobe Acrobat Reader", so I uninstalled the app and tried to install again. It was when I realized that the mission was harder than  I thought!
    Please, if anybody with the same problem solved it yet, please please share it with me!
    Thank you!

    I'm sorry, part of it is in portuguese!
    How can I post here the install.log file?
    Thank you so much!
    PS: Apparently the error now is different, with no number ..

  • Need help installing Adobe Reader, Error 1402

    Hello, this is my first time here at the forums.
    So my problem is obviously having trouble installing Adobe Reader X (Latest Version) I had to reinstall it due to this error,
    I've tried looking at these steps: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329137.html but they didn't work.
    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
    I get stuck at step 10 of More Solutions (Advanced)
    The error I get when I try to 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' is:
    Auditing - 'Registry Editor could not set security in the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys.
    The key that cannot be opened during installation is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\PDF.PdfCtrl.6\CLSID
    Notes:
    I've already set full permission to access this key.
    The 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' checkbox is actually named
    'Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object' on my Windows, I think it's basically the same thing, because it's in the same spot as the one in the support picture, so I'm just assuming that's Windows 7 and I'm using Vista which shouldn't be too different.
    I've already followed all the instructions correctly, and I don't have spysweeper, McAfee on my system or any viruses/spyware, I update Windows regularly and my AntiVirus is Norton AntiVirus which is updated as well, and this doesn't seem to interfere with the installation files as you can see this is a registry problem.

    Please confirm the Reader version and the operating system.

  • IOS updates - I keep getting the following message when I try to update my iPad2 - unable to install update, an error occurred installing IOS 8.1.2.  How can I fix this?

    IOS error messagge - I keep getting the following message when I try to update my iPad2 - unable to install update, an error occurred installing IOS 8.1.2.  How can I fix this?

    Which way are you trying to update? WiFi or iTunes? In either case, I would try restarting/rebooting all devices and then try again.
    IF you are using iTunes, eject your iPad, quit iTunes, reboot your computer and reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. After the iPad starts up, connect to iTunes and try again. You may also want to disable your firewall and antivirus software when you try to update using iTunes. Sometimes those will interfere with the download.
    If you are using WiFi, reset the iPad as described above and try again.
    If WiFi updating will not work, try using iTunes, if iTunes will not work, try using WiFi.

  • 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.

  • Problem installing acrobat reader

    I have attempted on several occasions to install acrobat reader to an HP Elitebook running Windows 7 Professional.  Each time I get the same error message:
    Any ideas?

    This often happens if some other installation (e.g. Windows Update) is already running.
    Restart Windows, then run the installer before doing anything else.
