Why is my installation stuck at 98%?

I am trying to instal adobe reader onto my computer and every time I do it, it just doesn't get past 98%. Its a big issue because I cannot use anything requiring a pdf reader…..
I have a MacBook Pro.  I have tried restarting my computer, turning it off for a while then back on.  I have tried downloading a new browser, and it just won't get past 98%! I have tried installing about 20 times. what can I do?

You can try using the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Why is the installer stuck on "Checking System Profile-"?

    I'm trying to install Flash Catalyst Beta on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard).
    The installer starts to work, but then it stops at the point where it checks the system profile (see attached screenshot). It doesn't seem to have crashed as the dock icon allows me to quit without force quitting the application.
    I've tried it in my regular user account and the administrator account, but the behaviour is identical.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I appreciate all your efforts, but I¹ve just received my new copy of CS5, so
    I¹ll be installing the final version.

    Subject: Why is the installer stuck on "Checking System
    Profile…"?
    Thanks Gary.
    I need to ask you a few questions and request you to perform some more steps
    so that I can debug your problem.
    1. Have you modified any folder permissions, authorization setup using
    Keychain Access utility (or any other tool)?
    2. Open a Terminal window, and run the command 'ls -l /tmp' and copy-paste
    the output printed on your screen in your reply.
    3. Delete all files whose name start with 'asu' in your /tmp folder. Run the
    command 'rm -rf /tmp/asu*'. Restart your machine.
    4. Launch the Flash Catalyst setup and check if installation proceeds
    successfully. If it doesn't, proceed to the step below.
    5. Open the folder containing the Flash Catalyst setup. Browse to the
    'packages' folder and rename the file 'install.sig' to 'update.sig'. Double
    click and launch the Flash Catalyst setup. This will not install the
    application but install the Adobe Application Manager. Let me know if you
    see a small dialog with a progress bar. Rename back update.sig to
    install.sig. Update us your observations. Continue to next step.
    6. Launch 'Disk Utility' app (from /Applications/Utilities). Select your OS
    partition in the left panel and click on 'First Aid' tab on the top. Click
    on the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button at the bottom.
    7. Again, launch the Flash Catalyst setup and check if installation proceeds
    successfully. If it doesn't, proceed to the step below.
    8. Open a Terminal window and navigate to the directory containing the Flash
    Catalyst setup. Run the command 'sudo Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install'
    and enter the password. Let me know if the installer launches and on
    following the screen instructions do you still see the error screen or does
    the installation proceed successfully.

  • Windows 8.1 installation stucked at 'Finalizing your settings' stage!

    I have G580 model. yesterday I was trying to install windows 8.1 but the installation stucked at "Finalizing your system" stage for about 18 hours! I tried several times to go to the BIOS for reinstall 8.1 or fresh installation of windows 7. but I cant enter into the BIOS by pressing F2/F8/F10/DEL whatever after restarting my system immidiately! what should I do! please help me to install my previous windows 7 OS.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you performed a clean install, try again and see if it works out. The same thing which you faced happened to me while I was upgrading from windows 8 to 8.1, it took me a couple of tries before 8.1 would finally install.
    Cheers and regards,

  • OBIEE 11g installation stuck at step 12 of 14 (0% copying files...)

    Hi All,
    I am installing OBIEE 11g on Windows7 32Bit OS.
    I have done with all the steps till step 11 without any error. However, ASA it starts the step 12 (i.e. Configuring WebLogic- Copying files...), installation stuck at 0% and do not continue. I waited for 8-10 Hrs but it never started copying files.
    Also, I tried the installation numerous times, but every time I got the same problem.
    I verified the logs as well, but there was no error.
    Please help me to resolve the issue.
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Yes, I got an idea, install OBIEE in a supported platform as your it's not supported at the moment:

  • Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"?

    Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"? They appear to be camera photos that I imported into iPhoto. I can leave the computer on all day and it still remains the same, meanwhile photos I take on the iPad are still being synced.

    Try to reset the Photo Stream:
    Disable it in System Preferences > iCloud
    Wait for a few minutes - have a cup of coffee.
    Then enabe it again.
    Repeat, if it has no effect the first time.
    Have you exceeded your daily or monthly limits?
    See: iCloud: Photo Stream limits

    Are you sure the device is charging? 
    Try resetting the device.  Hold the sleep wake button and the home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds (until you see the Apple Logo, then release).

    why is my iphone stuck on a webpage? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Tap the home button twice to bring up the recent tray. Tap and hold an icon till they wiggle then tap the minus sign on safari to exit it completely. Double tap the home button to get beck to the home screen and try safari again. Another option is to reset your phone by holding the power bitton and home button until you see the apple logo then let go.

  • Oracle 11g R2 Grid Infrastructure Installation stuck on 65%

    Dear All,
    I am in process of installing Oracle 11g R2 Grid Infrastructure on 2-node virtual RAC. All went very well until the Grid Installation stuck on 65%. It is saying copying file on remote node ('Copying Oracle Home '/u01/app/11.2.0/grid' to remote nodes 'cxm-vl-rman02'). From the logs it is difficult to figure out where the bottlenecks lies. Have anyone of you encounter similar situation before? I can attach oraInventory logs as well if you want to have a look at that. Please let me know if you find any pointer or clue of this problem.
    Many Thanks
    Nukesh

    No nothing was being copied, the /u01/app/11.2.0/grid directory was empty and nothing was adding to the log or err files.
    Actually I found/resolved the problem and forgot about this post.
    It happens that in staging my server, iptables was enabled which stopped the progress.
    I had to issue 'service iptables stop' and 'chkconfig iptables off' AND REBOOT ALL NODES.
    Simply stopping the service allowed the installer to continue, but eventually the root.sh script has problems. Rebooting both nodes resolved the issue.
    Thanks
