Acrobat Reader Not Installing Windows 10
Malka Crickenberger
I'm on Windows 10 and the free Adobe Reader DC won't install. The True Key pack has already been installed but the reader refuses to be installed! I've tried downloading the installer many times and I always get "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC did not install successfully." I have already updated Chrome. And none of the troubleshooting tips from Adobe has been useful.
Having some problem. Windows 10 giving error to effect some ...some pdf app is missing" so reinstalled Adobe Reader DC. When I uninstalled thru control center, Abode reader went away. When I installed from you page, it went thru install but failed - tried 3 more time not luck. Can find file "Abode" file under Program Files (86), but won't open. Says I don't have access. That file does not show on "Programs" thru control panel. Running Norton AV, but disabled during install.
The adobe acrobat Dc installer says "installation will begin shortly" but it does'nt start . I've tried re -downloading and installing for like 6-7 times and I have been wiating for the installation to start for like 24 hours now. Please HELP!.
I am having a similar problem on Windows 7. I had 9.3.3 installed, but it was having problems with Chrome. I thought it might help to reinstall it. I uninstalled it through the control panel, but noted that it did not ask for a reboot so didn't do one. Using Chrome I then downloaded and reinstalled 9.3.3. However, the installation does not seem to complete. I tried again using IE8. Same result. I tried to download the Windows Uninstaller Utility, but it is now removed and not recommended by Microsoft. Microsoft says to work with the provider of the software. There are many posts like mine on the web. Is Adobe in the process of addressing this problem?
I have also the same problem with installing Reader 9.3 on Windows 7, 64-bit. When I try to install it only goes up to 100% and then nothing happens, if I try anything the computer totaly freezes and I have to reboot. I have tried to install from Adobes homepage and from a CD, same result... It seems that Adobe Reader never installs.
This can be horribly frustrating, I am so familiar with your issue. However, with a little time, you might be able to get to the root of it. For what it's worth, I've found that very few companies "online" are easy to reach with regard to issues like this. I hate to say the Apple word, but need I say more? If you have an iphone, then not much compares to that recent mess....
In any case, for me, this update problem seems to happen with every big launch of software or update that comes out and then all of my settings, throughout my system locally and globally have to be corrected.
I've gone through this twice of recent, and it took me a LOT of patience, and a few days to really get it handled. Perhaps because I'm slow, and can't remember where all of the settings are that require attention, or maybe just can't seem to stop whatever project I'm on at the time to really deal with the update properly. The best advice I can give is to set aside the time (a couple of hours) to focus and troubleshoot from the beginning and avoid multi-tasking when trying to resolve this.
Please look over the forum as many people have resolved their issues with a few tips. I resolved my issue by first removing everything and cleaning up remaining remnant files, then downloading the appropriate programs (flash/reader, etc.), then hunting down the folder where it was loaded (mine was in my temp file as the download manager didn't work), then clicking the exe. file to open and run. Also, my security software was causing conflict for me too (that included browser and virus). I ended up having several downloads sitting in files that I had to clean up because I wasn't sure if I was installing at first, so check that. Other things include clearing your cache, and registry (if you need help, visit Microsoft.com/answers forum....another responsive company) and making sure you do a clean install.
And, just for the record, that probably wasn't the most appropriate choice of reply from the moderator to you, but I still do believe that this product is definitely worth spending the time to fix. Adobe has made working in my field 1000 times more efficient and enjoyable!! Once you get it running, you'll be glad you did.
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with Google Chrome operating system. I didn't have problems installing Reader initially, but when there was an update, I experienced similar issues as others here. After unistalling Reader in an attempt to resolve, I experienced EXACTLY same issues!
I tried nomophobia's suggestion, it was a footnote in the Adobe install screen too., did this back in August. I haven't had any more problems with Adobe Reader. It was worth the hassle, as the product IS very good.
I'm happy that you were able to get Adobe Reader working in Chrome once the update to version 9.4 was released. Sometimes I wish Chrome wouldn't release so many updates. Right now I've got everything working just right, Reader 9.4 with Chrome browser 8.0.522.215. Fingers crossed that they're no "improvements" from Chrome for a little while, and I can just sit back and enjoy an untroubled user experience!
I realize this is an old thread but recently enocuntered similar issues when installing Acrobat reader on an older computer running Win 7. I downloaded the program version 9.3.3. and it worked fine - link here -reader-9-3-3
Different versions available, the one from the Acrobat site did not work for me (incomplete install, could not find Acrobat Reader folder or any indication it had been installed despite message that install was successful). Good luck.
Steve_K worked for me with "Product: Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations: Document Routing -- Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations: Document Routing requires .NET Framework 4.7.2". Used Orca to delete "Installed OR WIX_IS_NETFRAMEWORK_472_OR_LATER_INSTALLED" in the table "LaunchConditions"
I was able to trick the installer and successfully print with current 64-bit versions of Adobe DC Reader by creating the following registry key (other keys in the replies will trick the installer but then won't print successfully):
For me the issue was resolved twice by manually installing the right version of adobe reader, because I was getting Windows 10 version by default, while Windows server version was needed (you can specify it manually here - get.adobe.com/.../).
Has anyone been success on deploying Acrobat DC Professional via Intune? I downloaded the package from Adobe and used the IntuneApp to create a package but so far it refuses to install failing with a
(0x80070005) error. I can deploy the reader without issue. Deployed Dreamweaver and Photoshop CC without error but this one is puzzling. This like all of CC is subscription based now, so not sure what I am missing...
@ArchAngel66 i am in the same boat you are. this means you're using the acropro.msi. did you overcome this yet? if so, how? did you also get the RUM folder installed via this method as well? i had the RUM folder included in my package but not sure how to get it to the target machine (the OOBE_Enterprise folder doesn't get created on target machine). i didn't see it in any options in the customization wizard. any feedback would be helpful.
I typically deploy this as an available app to the adobe pro users security group. that same group is excluded from reader. (It is well over a gig and I don't want it delaying autopilot. )
Interesting issue I found yesterday was that if I make windows store adobe reader a required uninstall, it was removing this app. Probably how I found this thread.
I keep getting this in every browser. The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or Higher. You may not have Adobe Reader installed on your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use adobe reader.
The form you are attempting to open is a dynamic XFA form. These forms can only be opened in an XFA aware reader, which basically means Adobe Acrobat. You must download it and open it with acrobat/reader in order to view it.
