Upon a failed install of Adobe Reader I get an error "Actionlist Not Found"

I am running Windows 7 64-bit. I have already uninstalled Adobe Reader and Flash and rebooted many times in the process. I can download everything just fine. I can start the installation process, but after it "initializes" the instalation freezes at 0% for a moment then I get an error. The window is "Adobe Has Encountered Problems" and in the window it says "Actionlist Not Found." I have no idea what this means or what I can do to fix it. I also get the same error when I try to install Flash Player. Please note that I have tried directly installing by choosing my operating system and whatnot from Adobe.com. What can I do to fix this?

You need to download and run the offline installers.

  • I am unable to print PDF's using either Adobe Reader or Safari. In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my Cannon printer that says, "/usr.libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed". In Safari, I can only print the first page of a PDF.

    To try to resolve this problem, I have done the following actions.
    1 - I have run Disk Warrior.
    2 - I have repaired permissions.
    3 - I have deleted all plist that are either Cannon or Adobe.
    4 - I have downloaded and installed the lastest versions of Adobe Reader and the Cannon printer drivers.
    I am still unable to print PDF's.
    In Safari, I can print only the first page. In a multipage PDF, Safari only seems to recognize the first page.
    In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my printer: "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed".
    Any help would be greatly appreicated!

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
    ☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
    ☞ If running an older version of OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and copy the line below into the text box that opens:
    ~/Library
    Delete the following items from the Library folder:
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list. Post the messages from the time of the last printing attempt.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • When I try to update Adobe Reader I get an error.

    Hi,
    When I try to update Adobe Reader I get an error.
    Windows cannot find 'C:\Windows\Program Files\\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0|AdobeARM.exe'. Make sure you types the name correctly, and then try again.
    _ I've try to re-install Adobe Reader => same issue
    _ I've deleted the AdobeARM.exe and did a repair => same issue.
    Thanks

    Download the "offline" installer, Save it to your downloads folder, and run it after a reboot.

  • Error "actionlist not found" when installing adobe flash player update

    in trying to update adobe flash player i get error "action list not found"I have win XP 32 bit. Have removed old version from my computer before downloading newer version, still will not load.

    You should by now be using Firefox 11. (You may well have updated since you posted this question).
    Possibly you have tried to download and install the FlashPlayer version intended for Internet Explorer, instead of the plugin for Firefox. (See related thread [/questions/859758#answer-228076] ''When trying to update Adobe Flash Player, message says no ActionList found.'' )
    Others may also note there is or was problem with some Flash Upgrades not being detected , but should start a new thread of your own if you have problems. See article [[Yahoo! and at&t mail say your browser is blocking Flash]]

  • Mac Flash player install - actionlist not found

    Hi:
    I'm behind all kinds of firewalls and other internet security stuff. I can't do anything about it. IT won't help me. How do I install the latest Flash player? I keep getting the error "Actionlist not found". I think it's network security. Any ideas?

    Sorry, I didn't notice the 'Mac' mention in the subject line.  The offline installer for OS X is http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

  • Adobe Reader won't open  Tried installing updated Adobe Reader and error came up in the process and told me to contact software manufacturer.  Could I uninstall current Adobe Reader and then try installing the current AR?  Any ideas?

    My Adobe Reader wouldn't download tickets.  Tried opening Adobe Reader application but it would not open.  I saw my Adobe Reader needed to be updated, so I attempted to install new Adobe Reader.  When it came to finalizing, it said there is an error and can't do.  Any ideas?  I have no functioning Adobe reader.  Should I uninstall old Adobe Reader and then try installing the updated AR?

    (Had to step away & do things) I can't even open up the Adobe Reader application to uninstall; get message it won't open. And now have more things needing to be downloaded to print.  Any ideas on how to open the app, so I can uninstall.  I have a MAC OS X 10.9.4  When the installation initially failed I received this message from Adobe, " Adobe Reader Installation Error  Package name Adobe Reader xi (11.0.07)  Installer: installing abase path/installer: The install failed  (The install encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)  It did not specify what the error was

  • Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"??  It happened with Reader and now with Flashplayer.  With the Reader, I was able to find a different install

    Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"??  It happened with Reader and now with Flash player.  With the Reader, I was able to find a different installation link using the troubleshooting guide.  I cannot find the same with flash player.  Please tell me how to install Flash player because there is a website that I cannot even view without it.  BTW That is annoying that I cannot even see the website without flash player
    my system is XP

    Use these installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player for Mac OS X
    For Adobe Reader go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

    Hello,
    I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
    "Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
    And I did not find my answer.  That is why I'm posting this as a question.
    So, with that out of the way....
    I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed.  What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible.  I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
    As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version.  However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
    That is why I'm here asking.  Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download?  If so, where is it on the web site?
    This does lead me to a follow up question.  Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player?  If so, where can I download them from as well.
    Thanks in advance,

    Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
    The URL to access the page is
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
    From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
      -- Windows XP 64 Bit
      -- Windows Vista 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
    Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
    Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
    In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file.  Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
    According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
    So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009?  IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

    You already posted this five times; and you already have a conversation with Adobe staff going on in the ExportPDF forum.

  • Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

    Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

    There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
    Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?
