"Wizard was interrupted before install was complete"  Acrobat XI Pro Windows 8.1  any recent solutions?

Seen in past posts, some years old this has been a problem.  Tried everything I know:  turn off anti-virus, restart, used adobe cleaner, etc.  Any other solutions?  Thank you.

Hey eDougS,
Just need to ensure that after using Acrobat cleaner tool, do you get the same 'wizard interrupted' error?
Also, please try creating a different user account and then install the software.
You might also visit this forum link if that could help in your case:
adobe Acrobat XI Pro: installation wizard was interrupted; try again
Hope to hear from you.

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before).  It says the serial number is invalid.  Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:

  • How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.  The Wizard is interrupted before installation starts

    How can I install our new program (never installed previously) Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.  The Wizard is interrupted before installation starts.  Why?  What do I do?

    Do you receive any specific error messages at all?  You may also want to review Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.

  • I inadvertently installed the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my laptop as a trial. It has expired and I want to remove it.

    I inadvertently installed the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my laptop as a trial. It has expired and I want to remove it and  use the previous version that I had on the machine before the install which was a full version of Adobe Acrobat. Please provide me with the steps to complete this.

    You can uninstall in the usual way (Control Panel). You will probably then need to reinstall the older version, which the trial most likely removed.

  • Installing CS5 and Acrobat 9 Pro problem

    Just wondering if anyone can help me on line.  I have tried the chat session which took a long time to get connected to an agent, I was informed that they could not help me there as they only worked with CS6 and up.  They referred me to the forum.  So, I am not sure if I am in the right place but here goes.
    I am trying to install the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium software that I bought years ago on an older iMac computer (2007) I believe.  The hard drive failed recently and I had a new one put in which included the operating system, OS X 10.6.8.  I have recently tried to install Adobe CS5 which I purchased some years ago.  The software package had the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro disc which helps to install the CS5 package.  I have tried to install Acrobat 9 Pro twice and I now get the following error message: 
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “DistillerLib” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)
    I did not notice this message the first time I tried to install the entire package so on the first attempt I went on to trying to install the CS5 Design Premium disc next.  It attempted for a good while to try and install it but ultimately stopped.  I have gone to the support site and uninstalled the CS5 Design Premium files that were left on there thinking I could start over.  So, I put back in the Acrobat 9 Pro disc and it said there was an Acrobat 9 Pro file there and did I want to replace it.  I said yes, and then as it attempted to replace these files, I got the message stated above about the DistillerLib error ode - 36.
    I do have a membership for Adobe Creative Cloud and I can only put the latest software available there on my other 2 computers.  This computer I am trying to put the CS5 software (standalone) is for my granddaughter who I am trying to help learn Photoshop and Illustrator.  The computer I am trying to put this on is the one I had bought for my son who recently passed away.  At this time I can't get another subscription for my granddaughter.  So, how can I get this CS5 package installed or do I have to take the computer back to the technical folks who put in the hard drive to help me.  I saw on the support site instructions for installing CS5 but as you can see from my discussion, this is not working for me now.  Is it the operating system causing problems for this older version of Creative Suite CS5?  ...... or is it Acrobat 9 Pro?

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (windows)

    I just downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (Windows) and it states I have a valid serial number but not a valid product.  There is no option for Acrobat XI Pro (Windows).

    You have bought an upgrade when you needed a full version. Contact sales support by phone, web chat or web form.

  • Interrupted Installation - Acrobat XI Pro - Windows 8 (x64)

    Hi -
    I am attempting to install a trial version of Acrobat XI Pro on a Windows 8 (x64). I use the Adobe Download Assistant to download the files and initiate installation (choosing to save the files to my desktop). I choose "use trial or subscription" and the installation wizard begins; however, each and every time the wizard ends up "rolling back" and ending with a message that the installation was interrupted. It does not indicate what the interruption was, so I cannot figure out how to solve the issue.
    Other possibly important info:
    - running Bitdefender Internet Security
    - have already run the acrobat cleaner tool to ensure any partial installs have been removed
    **new development: I can no longer get past the Use Trial or Subscription / I have a serial number screen.

    Yeah, you botched your activation. Nothing you can do at this point. It will only ever work if you buy it (ignoring your technical issues for the time being).

  • Error 1603 when installing Acrobat XI Pro - no luck with any suggestions

    Hi all - I have been trying to download Acrobat XI Pro via the Creative Cloud installer, but I'm getting the following message:
    ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1603 - Fatal error during installation.
    MSI Error message:
    ERROR: Third party payload installer AcroPro.msi failed with exit code: 1603
    I have successfully installed Photoshop and InDesign in the same way.  I have tried the following suggestions from the Community:
    Empty Temp folder
    Re-register msiexec
    Uninstall/Cleanup Tool/Reinstall
    It gets to about 42% and fails every time. Any ideas?
    many thanks!

    Thanks Ned.  I had already tried those suggestions.  Our IT Ops Manager finally sorted this out by running the installer manually, rather than through the Creative Cloud installer.  It was 'Adobe PDF Creation Add-On 11.0.01', which was not removed via the Cleaner Tool.

  • Corrupt .pdf files since install of Adobe Acrobat IX Pro

    Since installing the new Adobe Acrobat IX Pro (cloud version) on my Mac Air, l'm unable to open old .pdf files. What can be done to resolve this issue.
    Thanks.

    Hi jwalrathx,
    Do you have the latest version of Acrobat XI? Choose Help > Check for Updates. Install any available updates. Support for Office 2013 was added to PDF Maker in the 11.0.01 version that was released back in January.
    Please let us know if you need further assistance.
    Best,

    Good day,
    Michael is correct, you must have Service Pack 3 for Windows XP installed before you may install the trial of Acrobat X.
    Please see: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tech-specs.html for a complete listing of the system requirements.

  • Need install iso for acrobat 9 pro extended

    We have our key, but have lost our disc.  Anyone have the ISO for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?  All that is listed on the website is the upgrade.  We need the full version installer.
    Thanks.

    Some of the older products used to be at ProDesignTools: Adobe® Developments in Focus, but apparently that has ended. If you know of someone local who has the product, you could probably just make a copy of the CD and use that. You will still need your S/N for the install. If you are installing on Win 8, then good luck if you can get a copy of the CD. AA 8 apparently does not work on Win 8 and I don't remember any comments about AA 9 on Win 8 either.
