Why do I get this error when I try to install Reader XI in Windows 8.1?

"Error 1303. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files (X86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator."
This is my personal home computer. I have no administrator to contact. I have gone through all the trouble-shooting suggestions provided by Adobe but I still get this message trying to download Reader XI or X. I previously had Reader on this computer but it started failing so I uninstalled it and now I'm trying to re-install it. My antivirus system is Webroot SecureAnywhere and it says there are no problems with my computer. I'm using a 6 month old Dell computer and System Mechanic also says there are no problems with my computer.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I have the exact same problems as reported by Vector at the start of this thread. Running Windows 8, Reader stopped responding, so I uninstalled and tried to reinstall XI, I get Error 1303, with the issue being permissions on that same directory (x86\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader). If I open Explorer and try to navigate to that folder, I see it there under the Reader 11.0 folder, but if I double-click I cannot even open it, I get an "is not accessible. Access is denied" error. I checked the Security settings on the Reader 11.0 folder, SYSTEM, Administrators, Users, and TrustedInstaller all have Full Control. When I go into Advanced and check the box for "Replace all child permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object" and click Apply, I get an error for the \Reader folder (Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied"). I tried deleting the Adobe folder on down, hoping I could just start fresh with the re-install, but it does not allow me to. Completely stuck. Any ideas?

I get this error when I try to install iTunes 10.7: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indocate a problem with this package. The error code is 2203."

I am running Windows 7 64bit. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and ran the installer. This message pops up, I click OK and the installation continues. Then, when I try to launch iTunes I get this: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)". I have also received this error message even when the installation hasn't had any problems. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted, repaired my .net framework, uninstalled all components following the steps in Article: HT1923 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 all to no avail. It still won't run. It was working perfectly before I updated it to 10.7. After that it all went to crap. I even tried installing the previous version and still get this error message. Any suggestions?

Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.

Anyone who can help? I am using Mac OS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion). Thanks.

From the information available it appears that your install could be conflicting with a previous version or installation. I would recommend reviewing your installation logs to verify the root cause of your difficulties. You can find directions on how to review your installation logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Why do I get this error when trying to use my bluetooth headset as a listening device? There was an error connecting to your audio device. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted.

I may have already resolved this issue buy removing the device from my computer and re-pairing it. It is currently working just fine.

"Unable to connect to server" I have wifi connection but I'm getting this error when I try to purchase an app. Why? If anyone knows can you please help me thank you in advance. :-(

Can you load a webpage in Safari with that wifi connection? If so then it's a problem with the iTunes Store app connection. If not then your wifi isn't fully functional and you need to troubleshoot that first.

You can use a different player than the Windows Media Player to play the songs if you copied them from a CD to avoid that.

I have set these up in previous versions of Illustrator. CS and illustrator 10 worked just fine with Variables. Now I can't seem to switch between data sets. I just keep getting this error when I try to switch from one data set to another.

I'll start with the permissions and see if it changes the behavior.

Why do I get unknown error when I try to add to my iCloud storage

Why do I get unknown error when I try and add storage to iCloud account ? I have funds in account but I do not have a credit card # on file.

This didn't solve it for me. Card details already there, and iTunes purchases working fine.
But just to be sure I' have re-entered and resaved my card info and checked, re-entered and re-checked my appleID info.
Still not working.
Anyone got any other suggestions?

TS1702 "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference.
