Why can't I find Adobe Reader on my computer?

I work for a company with several users and we're having an issue with Adobe Reader. I download Adobe Reader from Adobe.com and it installs like normal and even confirms it's installed. However, I try and find the reader and it is nowhere to be found. It's not in the programs folder, start menu, all programs, or even Add/Remove Programs. Please help. If you need any information just let me know.

Since you mention Add/Remove Programs I assume that you are on Windows (XP?).
Further assuming that you installed Reader XI, how did you install it - using the download manager (install_reader11_en_mssd_aih.exe), or the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe) ?
Using the offline installer you can modify the install location; did you do that?
By default Reader XI would install in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader
You didn't get a desktop shortcut either?

  • Why can't I open Adobe Reader even after I download and install it to my Mac OS X Intel 10.6.6?

    I've tried downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader X for my Mac, but it won't open.
    The problem might be that the highest Adobe Reader available is for the Mac OS Intel 10.5.6 - 10.6.4.
    I really need this to work, because I need to download and install this properly before I can install the Oracle Information Rights Management (IRM) Desktop Download.
    I need this so I can unseal .spdf files and be able to read my ebook. I can't read it online, but I can download it straight from CengageBrain.

  • Why can't I download Adobe Reader or player on iPad 2?

    I cannot view streaming video on my iPad 2 because I cannot download the Adobe Reader or Player when a site requires it.  Why not?

    The iPad doesn't support Flash which is why you can't install the Adobe player. Use the pre installed YouTube app.
    Try PDF Reader Lite for PDF files.

  • Why can't i download adobe reader  on my windows vista. Error message is invalid key

    I can not download Adobe reader. The installation begins, but then I get the message that the key is invalid. I don't know what means or how to correct it. How can I get a vaid key.

    That is a problem caused by Microsoft or one of their recent updates.  Here is the solution
    in the Windows Explorer address bar type %APPDATA%
    on the right-hand side double-click on the Microsoft folder
    now look for a folder named Crypto; delete it, or rename it to something like Crypto-old
    If you need more detailed help, tell us your Windows version.

  • Why can't I download adobe reader X

    Hi,
    I am not able to download adobe reader X. It started when I recently could not open a PDF file. I unistalled Adobe XI and tried re installing it and now it says my code doesn't match. How can I fix this problem.

    This seems to be caused by a recent Windows Update.  Unfortunately I cannot tell you which one.
    Make sure you have the latest update that was released yesterday installed; it replaced a bad patch from earlier this month.

  • Why can't I get Adobe Reader to download on my mac?

    Error message 'installation failed' comes up only a few seconds after starting download. Have had my MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.2 for less than a year, and downloaded microsoft office for word processing. Does the error message “PKInstallSandbox-tmp” relate to this in any way?? Am not in any way IT literate and have no idea how to solve this problem. I need Adobe Reader to submit assignments so it is really important. Any advice?
    Thanks

  • 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:

  • Why can't I download Adobe Reader 9.3

    I'm having problems downloading Adobe Reader 9.3 and I need help

    Hi Connie,
    Sorry, I am not an expert.
    I would try downloading and running Windows Installer Cleanup as others suggested.  I ran it successfully on my W7 machine, but it did not solve the problem of downloading Adobe Reader 9.3.
    What did was detailed in my other thread (post): http://forums.adobe.com/thread/626379?tstart=30  (this should take you the post directly)
    Please note that you must be logged in to your computer as an administrator or with administrator rights before taking the steps in that post.  After you complete the steps and log back in under the new (upper) administrator level, you may be able to load Reader 9.3 (it worked for me)
    Hope this helps/works--  I don't have any other experience or advice (sorry).

  • Why can't I find Adobe Flash Player for Linux/Firefox 4

    I can't figure out how to get Adobe Flash or Shockwave player for Firefox 4. Running Ubuntu 10.04 and when I try to find them in add-ins for FF4 there seems to be nothing. I am not the world's most experienced Linux guy but since Flash and Shockwave are so common it seems curious that they don't have them as add-ins for FF4. Maybe I'm just so far off track on this one it may be the dumbest question anyone has ever asked. But what the heck, you never know the answer if you don't ask the question.
    Thanks!

    There is no flash player for the iphone and Adobe would be the one to develop one, not Apple. And there are no plugins to install instead, as far as I know.
