Why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory

why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

What is your operating system & version?
If you are on Windows, download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click 'Change Destination Folder' and the first install panel.

How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

Hello!,
I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
Thanks,
Marcus Bale

Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.

Why can I not install Acrobat XI Pro on a Windows 8.1/64 machine?

Acrobat X Pro is running, but when I try to install Acrobat XI Pro through Adobe Creative Cloud on a Windows 8.1/64 machine it fails near the end of the installation. It indicates that it failed with 7 errors, but nowhere are the errors accessible. Can anyone help?

Were you logged in as the administrator and did you have anti-virus disabled? CC may have some special installation requirements and you need to check the CC forum for such information.

I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive.

I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive as my C drive is much smaller than my storage drive.

Still, you can install the Reader folder on any drive you want using the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Use the Change Destination Folder button at the bottom of the install panel.

How to Install Acrobet Reader 9 on Different Drive

Does someone know how to direct acrobat rader 9 toa different drive when installing? It always defaults to drive C. I want it on drive D. Help!

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of references to registry files in \Windows\System 32 from within Reader. The registry keys likewise point to a program in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader folder.
Unless you are capable and willing to go in and rewrite the code for each and every single reference in every last file of the program so that they reference a registry on a separate drive from the program itself, and vice-versa, you will find that it won't work, and if it does it'll keep crashing, and giving you errors all the time.
There are portable readers which are designed to run without the registry references (like from a Flash drive) but they won't function as well as Reader in every case.
You might want to try running your disk cleanup, defragmenting your C:\ drive, and running a compression to free up file space.
Another thing I like to pass along is a"deep cleaning" Disk Cleanup tool
Disk Cleanup can clear out a lot of old, unused, and junk files from your hard drive. Things that clutter up the drive, and make defragmenting take a lot more time than it should. Here's a neat way to clear up more unused files on your system than Windows™ Disk Cleanup utility will do on it's own:
c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sageset: 1
c:
cd \
cd c:\windows\prefetch
del *.* /q
Copy the code above and paste it into a document using Notepad or Wordpad (Do not use Microsoft™ Word™, or Corel™ WordPerfect™). Save the file as "clean.bat" (minus the quotes of course), a Windows™ batch file. To do this click, Save As instead of Save, and choose all files from the File Type drop down menu. Save it to your desktop.
Double click the batch file, and it will open a configuration tool for your Disk Cleanup utility. You will see a lot more checkboxes in the list than your regular Disk Cleanup shows. Check EVERYTHING. Don't worry, these are all files your system doesn't use.
Once you have clicked all the checkboxes, click OK and the window will close. You have now set your Disk Cleanup to thoroughly clean your Hard Drive.
Now we need to go back to the batch file. Right click it, and select Edit. It will open in Notepad or Wordpad, depending on which one you made it in. When it opens, go to the first line, where it reads "sageset", and change it to "sagerun" (again, minus the quotes, of course) and save it. You don't need to choose a destination or file type. Just save it.
Now double click the batch file again, and it will run the Disk Cleanup with your deep cleaning settings.
Copy the batch file to your documents folder and any time you need to run it, just double click it. Now here's another tip that will free up a lot of hard drive space on top of the deep clean.
Also:
If you open the regular Disk Cleanup (Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Disk Cleanup), when it opens there is a More Options tab at the top of the window. Click the tab, and at the bottom you should see a section referring to System Restore and Shadow Copies (Vista) or System Restore (XP).
Click Clean Up to remove the extra restore points and Shadow Copies of Windows™ that are stored on your hard drive for system restoration. Don't worry, this will only remove all but the most recent restore point.
You should see anywhere from 3.5 to 14 gigs of hard drive space freed up once you do this.
One last thing:
If you have a C:\ and a D:\ drive, the D:\ drive should ideally be used for file storage.
In other words, all of your pictures, movies, documents, saved e-mails, etc., anything that ISN'T a program... should be on this drive to keep your C:\ drive working better:
All of these files opening and closing on the C:\ drive will lead to fragmentation of your C:\ drive and that will eventually cause the whole system to slow down, and could kill your hard drive.
Additionally, you mention that you are low on space on the C:\ drive. That's another bad thing. I've learned over the years that you should never let a working drive (as in one that is running your operating system or even one that holds files you access daily) get below 25% free space. The caching of files as you work on them gets extremely slow if the drive has to jump back and forth between sides of the actual discs to record changes as you make them. This is much less likely when you have 25% or more of the drive free.
Your documents, pictures, music and movies will open from the D:\ drive where software won't always. It's easier to move your files to the D:\ drive to make space than to install a second OS and then reinstall all of your software.

Why can I not install updates or upgrade to 8?

When I try to install updates, all I get is "Connecting to the update server" And when I "download" version 8, and then go to open firefox again, it is still version 7...

Hi crazytwin123-
There can be a number of reasons why the updates are not installing correctly. Here is a link to an article describing how you might fix the problem:

Hope that helps!

Why can I not install adobe flash, I get a message saying it will not install while firefox is runing

When I try to download adobe flash player everything goes fine and the download finishes. When asked to install I get a message that says it will not install while an application is running. Which is Mozilla Firefox

Adobe Shockwave Flash needs to install plugins for Firefox, and Flash needs to do that with Firefox closed. So close Firefox and run the Flash installer.

Why can i NOT INSTALL latest version of itunes

I cannot update itunes, it just will not install, my iupdad is freezing --- APPLE WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WE BUY THESE ITEMS AND YOU THEN BLOCK US EVERY WAY WE TRY, I AM SO SICK OF BEING USED

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Why can't I install adobe reader 11.0 on my mac?

I have a Mac 0s X, 10.6.8
For months I have had trouble installing Adobe Flash 11.7. I've been on the Forum about the problem for a week and have had suggestions, none of which have worked.
Today I tried to install Adobe Reader 11.0 and cannot install it either. Here is the screen shot:

This is the error message I receive:
"The update could not be applied because the Adobe Reader application contents were modified since the original installation.
Please reinstall Adobe Reader amd check for updates again.

Why can I not install my acrobat on multiple computers?

I subscribed to Acrobat Pro with the hopes of using it on multiple platforms. But I cannot seem to install it on my second PC.

Fixed it by reinstalling Adobe Installer.

Why can Adobe not deauthorize a reader?

I have spent 2 hours on the phone being passed between tech support and customer support and none of them undestands how Digital Editions and authorisation works - most people did not even know what the software was!
All I want is for Adobe to remove the details of a Sony Reader from my Adobe ID as I have sold it and the new owner needs to authorise it to his Adob ID.
I do not have the device now, he does. I did not know I had to deauthorise it before selling, as I never used DE after installing it. I only used free
Ebooks
How hard can this be? Surely if Adobe are implementing DRM then you must be able to manage it correctly? Why is there seemingly no knowledge of which depratment can handle de/authorisations?
How can I allow the new owner to use the device with DE to purchase online ebooks?
Thanks
Blonkster

Two problems:
1.) You can only deactivate the Reader if you have the Reader. So you'll want to communicate to the person that bought it the following:
- Plug in Reader onto a Windows machine where they have Digital Editions authorized against their AdobeID (authorization/deauthorization of Sony Readers, currently only works on Windows)
- After noticing that the Reader is recognized, press "Ctrl-Shift-E" which will bring up the device deactivation dialog
- Following the deactivation, unplug and replug the Sony Reader and they should be present with the device activation dialog
2.) Adobe only offers support for Digital Editions via Web (click on the "Submit a web case" link). Calling tech support would be unhelpful, but they normally just tell you that up front, so it's suprising/upsetting that they bounced you around.
Edit:
(But since I already told you this on the MobileRead forums, why did you waste your time with support, or did that happen beforehand?)
