Windows Installer starts (and fails) upon Vista starting - Acrobat 7.0.9

Hello all,
For some reason, the past couple of days, upon starting Vista Ultimate (no SP1
yet) something is causing Windows Installer to fire up and try to install Acrobat
7.0.9 - which of course was installed/updated months ago.
This coincided with updating Reader to the newest version. Now Reader is updated
and works, but Acrobat Pro doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Tim

Yeah AA7 worked perfectly on Vista until the AR8 update.
I mostly love Adobe products, and use them all every day (Creative Suite CS2)
etc.... but honestly this is the very same sort of scenario that baffles me about
Adobe:
Installing Premiere Elements 4 completely breaks Bridge, and Adobe's own knowledge
base repair is utterly useless. I understand that CS2 and AA7 are not certified
in Vista - but there is absolutely NO excuse for one Adobe product to completely
break one of their own products, and then compound that by 1. Knowing about it,
and 2. Not offering a feasible solution (other than to spend thousands upgrading
your Adobe products.)
I guess the fact that updating free AR8 has broken their own $350 AA7 is typical
and expected. Shameful.

Help

    The two other posts are correct... so I'll just clarify.  What's happening right now is your system is trying to boot into Windows in order to finish the installation.  What you want to do is make it boot into OS X.  As mende1 indicated, with your system off, hold down the Option key and continue to hold it while you turn the system on.  You will eventually be presented with an option to select which partition you would like to boot from.  Choose OS X.  After you get into OS X, again, as mende1 indicated, change the Startup Disk to OS X.  What this will do is cause your system to automatically boot into OS X when you restart it instead of you having to use the Option key when booting each time.
    Relaunching BootCamp Assistant will allow you to remove your Windows installation and partition. 

  • Applocker with Windows Installer rules and SCCM 2012

    Hi,
    We have been running Applocker since two years on Windows 7 Enterprise clients with SCCM 2007 as management and distribution tool.
    This setup was working fine until we migrated to SCCM 2012 and started to encounter problems with msi-packages not being able to self-heal when the source was the sccm client cache.
    We have recreated this scenario in a lab environment.
    Our setup is this:
    Windows 2008 R2 (DC)
    Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (Client)
    Standard user (not admin)
    SCCM 2012 R2 (upgraded from 2007)
    Applocker with these rules:
    Executable Default rules enabled (Enforced)
    Windows Installer Default rules enabled (Enforced)
    Exception for %WINDIR% (where SCCM cache is located)
    Script Default Rules enabled (Enforced)
    Application msi-package with self-heal (omus) and advertised shortcuts
    We install the application from the sccm cache (%windir%\ccmcache) and then trigger a self-heal (user components being copied to the user profile).
    What we see on the client is: Error 1718. File C:\Windows\ccmcache\54\application.msi was rejected by digital signature policy.
    Event log is showing: Event 1008: The installation of
    C:\Windows\ccmcache\54\application.msi
    is not permitted due to an error in software restriction policy processing. The object cannot be trusted.
    It looks like the file cannot be evaluated by Applocker and therefore is not trusted. We get an Access Denied error when testing AppLocker-policy with the following PS-command,
    Get-AppLockerPolicy -Effective | Test-AppLockerPolicy -Path C:\Windows\ccmcache\54\application.msi. This command works fine when accessing files in the cache-folder on a SCCM2007-client.
    For testing purposes we recreated a similar folder structure: C:\Windows\Folder1\Folder2\application.msi where the user has no permissions on Folder2 and read on the other folders and the File.msi.
    This is how the permissions look like in SCCM 2012 (no user permissions on %Windir%\ccmcache). Applocker cannot evaluate the trust-level of application.msi.
    The GPO setting “Bypass traverse checking” is set to everyone.
    As we can see, the permissions are the same on SCCM 2007 client cache (%Windir%\syswow64\ccm\cache) but we do not have this issue there.
    Has anyone got Applocker (with windows installer rules actived) to work with SCCM 2012 and windows installer self-heal?

    More info. I found some people also encounter this same issue, but specific msi, take a look at

  • Legacy prog installs QT2.12 & fails on Vista; prog with QT7: unable to load

    A program installs QT 2.12 on Vista, but fails with the message
    Quicktime of Windows has stopped working.
    If I install QT7, the .MOV files can be played individually, but the program states:
    Unable to load external movie driver for Intro1st.mov.
    Possibly the driver is missing or there is no enough memory.
    There is a Gb of free memory for Vista. The software is from 1999.
    What can I do to enable this to work either with
    (a) QT7; or
    (b) QT2.12 with QT7 installed too; or
    (c) QT2.12 without QT7 installed.
    I am willing to give a USD $50 voucher to Amazon for the first respondent with a solution to option (a), $30 for option (b) and $10 for option (c). Only one gift in total is available. I will give people time to arrive at the best solution, namely option (a), before deciding on receives the gift.
    Thank you.

    You can't install QuickTime version 2 on your machine. I can't install the same >Mac version on my OS.
    Are your files found on a CD?
    QT2.12 is provided on the CD in the form of a setup executable file.
    Is the software running from a CD?
    I have copied all files to the notebook for ease-of-use, but usually it would run from the CD.
    After posting my message, I checked with my desktop (running XP SP2), and observed that I got the main software runnning with QT5 installed. Tried this on Vista, but the same error message occurs as for QT7.
    Does that CD try to do the QuickTime version 2 install?
    It tries to do it itself with the setup program for the application.
    Also, I have tried to do it myself.
    You could probably navigate through the CD to find the QuickTime files on it and >open them directly or drag them to your desktop to duplicate them.
    I will try copying them from another computer, but wouldn't it be necessary to set up the registry or something to let Vista know of its existence?

  • Windows Installer Source and software repair

    Hi everyone, I am looking at how the Windows Installer Source Location should work on SCCM 2012 R2.
    Here is my problem:
    We are using a Powershell wrapper to install all the software we have. When creating a new application, we are setting the MSI product code so that if the application have to be repaired, the msiexec will then launch the installer at the right place, which
    is under the content of the DP.
    The structure is really simple, we have an EXE, a powershell script and some folder at the root of the content. All the required files are under the File folder, one step lower. This is what it look like.
    \\Server\Share\Software
    Files: Files are in there
    Support
    Tools
    Powershell Script
    EXE File
    So when specifying the correct MSI file to repair the software we are pointing to
    \\Server\Share\Software\Files\MSIFile.
    When configuring the installation, we are pointing to
    \\Server\Share\Software\PowershellScript.
    When we are launching a repair for a software, msiexec is not able to find the correct path on the DP. After taking a closer look at the path we noticed that it is stopping at the root of the content, it is not trying to launch the MSI in the File folder.
    I was concern about why the structure is not kept when initiating a repair.
    I was in the idea that the general path was kept in SCCM to make sure that it will remain when installing the application so that when launching the repair it will look at
    http://Server/Content/Software/Files/MSIFile.
    In my case it is stopping at http://Server/Content/Software.
    But when launching the repair with the software still in the cache folder, the repair is able to happen without any problem.
    Any idea of why does it behave like this?
    I know it is not easy to understand, so if there is any question, please ask!
    Mathieu

    When trying the repair process, the url in the registry (HKLM\Software\Classes\Installer\Classes\GUID ID\SourceList\URL) SCCM is looking at stop at http://Server/Content/Software.
    The files are located in http://Server/Content/Software/Files.
    To be able to repair the software, I must manually add the /Files to be able to repair the software.
    So basically, when hitting the repair button from Add/Remove Programs:
    There is a prompt asking me to select the path to the MSI.
    When selecting the URL path, it fail.
    When choosing the URL path again and adding /Files, it work
    When configuring the path to the MSI in the SCCM console, the MSI file selected is under the Files folder.

  • Consistent window 8 issues and fail to resume

    Hi All,
    I have my yoga pro 2 about 1 month now and have started using it more and more often. I am noticing that after a period when i walk away from the machine it comes back with a BSOD  and requires hard reboot.
    After sometime left on stand by it doesnt wake on windows button press, or side button restart it requires again another full reboot.
    Am I to assume these are windows 8 issues. I am using this machine for development and its really annoying that i keep losing my previous state. 

    I grabbed some screen shots of the erros i noticed today, in all cases, the desktop goes blank and when i try and lauch it doesnt work.
    I am not sure if this is a windows 8 or yoga issue! will be returning for a replacement model when one is ready ut am worried this might happen again.

  • Error prevents Windows installation session3 initialization failed

    Hello. I have done a search and have not seen a topic related to this. I have a Mac Book Pro with 2G RAM... and have partitioned my drive to allow 32GB for Windows. As soon as it goes through what seems to be an install process...it goes to launch windows and stops... and I get this message. (here is a photo of the screen http://www.locoroyale.com/apple/photo.jpg)
    I have connected a keyboard and mouse, disconnected it, tried adding more space... I cannot execute the instructions to restart and press F8... ANY suggestions would be a giant help.
    " A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. SESSION2INITIALIZATIONFAILED
    If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Check to make sure any new hardware of software is properly installed. If this is a new installation as your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.
    If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select safe mode.

    Make that Session3.. not session2... my bad. apologies for the error. I did do some research online and some folks have reported this and solved it saying their drive was faulty. Is it possible to get an external drive and use that for the install? everything else I install with my drive has been fine.
    Any info would help. Thanks.

  • Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized.

    Have decided to un-install Parallels as this was slowing my machine down... Windows was working fine until I uninstalled Parallels.. now I can't even get Boot Camp to recognise my Windows Disc.. .iso file (which is on a formatted FAT USB drive Touro 1Tb)... if I click on setup.exe directly from Finder.. I keep getting "You can’t open the application “setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."
    I've tried uploading bootcamp5 but that doesn't work either.
    the screenshots shown in all the manuals don't even look the same as the instructions on my screen..
    where do i go from here.?

    I would suggest that you watch
    some of the youtube step by step guides

    Hi 12345Kiran,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Notebook and looping repair screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore.

    Error.
    Please Help Me out.
    If Press cancel then everything works normal.
    thanks in advance

    Hello Bhatt,
    Most probably your PC was corrupted by the Dell software you downloaded. First of all, I'd recommend contacting the Dell support service representative. Also you can try to re-install Office.  
    Finally, I'd recommend asking such question on the
    Microsoft Community forum instead. The current forum is for Office developers.

  • My Bootcamp (OS X Leopard) won't recognize my Windows 7 Installer CD and ejects it. Help!

    Hello, I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my iMac bought in 2008. Unfortunately, when I clicked Start Installation on the Boot Camp Assistant, it says "The installer disc could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized." The iMac eventually ejects the installer disc.
    Help!

    You need to delete files from the hard drive before you upgrade. I believe Leopard requires 9GB of free space, and then you also want at LEAST 10GB free at all times.
    Is the disc black with a silver X?

    This is going to sound lame, but... have you shut down and restarted Windows since this problem began? Sometimes the Windows Installer starts behaving erratically, perhaps due to a backlog of deferred updates, and the only way to get around it is to reboot.
