Update of Adobe Reader DC - New Version already installed

I am currently machine

Windows 7 Enterprise x 64 with the image of the company

G2 EliteOne 800 HP AIO

The user has a corporate webapp that is supposed to view reports in PDF with Adobe Reader form through a HTML framework. The version of Reader included in the image is Adobe Reader X. After testing on the users computer and my own, I found that I could launch the report on my machine (with Adobe Reader DC) but not on the cost to build with Reader X.

Of course, my first thought was to simply update X DC. I have downloaded and run the installer from the Adobe website, and received a message that says "the installation process failed. A more recent version is already installed. "

East was quite confused as I was updating certainly from X (an older version) to DC (a newer version). What I found was that the original installation of Reader X disappeared completely and I couldn't reinstall all versions! No ads for Adobe Reader X lies in programs and features.

The only remaining information that I could find were some reg entries and an empty folder in /Program Files called 'Adobe Reader DC", which was devoid of all files.

It almost seems that starts the process of update installer replaces the old program, installation failure somewhere but do not make back the installation and reinstall the previous version.

I also tried to run the cleanup tool from Adobe to remove all persistent files but that did not help at all. In case anyone asks, I have run all the tasks in a user has administrator rights account above.

Has anyone seen this problem before? As is, the only way I know to get Reader X is to make a new picture of the machine.

Please try to run the cleanup tool "Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs" on your machine to remove all traces of the reader.

Then, restart your machine and install the latest version of the player from here:

  • can't download adobe reader - message indicates that new version already installed but I don't have Adobe reader installed

    It all started when I tried to download the latest adobe acrobat reader update is 10.1.13 but update failed so I deleted the program and tried to download a new version. When I tried to download fails and messages that I already have the new version. Then I checked my system and do not have Acrobat reader.

  • Tried to install Adobe Reader on the Mac, "new version already installed.

    I am trying to install Adobe Reader on my Mac. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I keep getting the message that the new version is already installed...

    Hi Sarah Simac,

    Seems that the reader is always present in your system. Its not completely uninstalled.

    Try to directly remove the application from the Applications folder, which is just trash/Applications/Adobe Reader.app.

    Also, this can cause a break in the features of Safari to read PDF files using Adobe Reader plugin. To resolve this problem, go into/Library/Internet Plug - Ins / and remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin

    Also try to open this link in another browser: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

    Let us know if it works.

  • Installation stops and "New version already installed" is displayed, even if I have NO version on my computer.

    That's all. I uninstalled a previous version because of a "Core" issue that has blocked the working version. I uninstalled this version, but whenever I try to install Adobe Acrobat now, I get the same message - a newer version is already installed. Evil. There is no such thing.

    Hi dougm44283353,

    Please try to run the cleanup tool "Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs" on your machine to remove all traces of Acrobat.

    Then, after removing the program, reinstall the version of the software you want to install on your system

  • A Web site asks me to install Adobe Reader, but I have already installed...

    Hello!

    I'm trying to access a portion of a Web site and it asks me to install Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat) to access the content of the Web site.

    Here's what it looks like:

    Abobe.PNG

    It is written in French, but it is translated by for best results, open this PDF with Adobe Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, with a more recent version.
    And the link says to Download Adobe Reader now

    The thing is, I have already installed Adobe Reader on my computer. I installed the version is the 11th.

    What can I do now to access the content of this Web site?


    Thanks for reading my question, I hope that we will succeed!

    You may need to try a different browser. Many browsers use their own pdf viewers now as you can see, can cause problems.

    You can also try a right click and save the PDF on your computer and then using file > open from drive to see.

  • I can't open file of police control Victoria, it keeps saying updating Adobe reader but I have already the latest version. How can I fix it?

    I can't open file of police control Victoria, it keeps saying updating Adobe reader but I have already the latest version. How can I fix it?

    Some PDFs (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF reader, then you will see this error message.

    Unfortunately, it is not easy to remove this message and change the PDF file so that it can be opened in the alternative PDF viewers. The person who created the original form must recreate the shape using the options that do not restrict viewers PDF can open and view the file.

    Adobe has made the decision that since very few non-Adobe products are supported on these PDF files special, it is best to show this message - and require the user to download Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat - that is to let the PDF Viewer try to view the document. You can ask the user to drive - extend documents so that you can view it with Adobe Reader.

    To ensure that the browser is configured to use the software Acrobat Reader plugin, please see KB: configuration of browser using Adobe Acrobat PDF plugin

  • Adobe Reader 8/new Adobe Reader version

    I am running Adobe Reader 8.2.6 on a Windows XP SP3 laptop.  I have problems with pdf books purchased on my Sony eReader (it keeps freezing on the player) and I plan to try to update my Adobe Reader software at least a 9.x.  Read the current problems with version 10 of Adobe makes me not want to wait a bit.

    My question: do I have to uninstall Adobe Reader 8 before installing version 9 or even 10 or do these versions remove older versions of Adobe Reader?

    While I'm at it, I also have Adobe Reader 7.x on a Windows XP SP3 Media Center Edition desktop and I really should get a more recent version of the player there.  Must same question, Adobe Reader 7 be uninstalled first?

    Just a few observations:

    For purchased eBooks that are "PDF"; in general, these have management of digital rights (DRM) applied and must be used in conjunction with Adobe Digital Editions rather than Adobe Reader.

    A good practice to commit before installing a more recent Adobe Reader - uninstall the replaced version.

    Be well...

  • Update on Adobe Reader issue

    This is the 2nd time I tried to download an update to Adobe Reader that was necessary for reasons of security to PDF files.  When I try to download I get the box indicating that it is downloading, but at the end of an hour, it seems that it's always the download and I am not able to get away from the window, restart the computer or shut down to stop the download process.  It's very frustrating.  What can I do?

  • Update of Adobe Reader 9.5 'all languages '.

    Hello

    I know it was a topic, but we need the Adobe Reader 9.5 (not complete installation) update for the "All languages" version, not the MUI version. I know that it exists, but not 'all languages' a.

    Are there? I know that in another topic, an employee of Adobe said that we must install the full version to have 9.5. But with a company almost 25,000 of computers, it worries me a little.

    And I needed to be in french.

    Can someone help me on this please?

    Thank you!

    Eric

    Hello

    Adobe Reader 9.5 can be installed on any existing version of player before her. Therefore, it should be treated as a regular update with some additional features and improvements.

    To install the French update, go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ and select the appropriate configuration.

    Otherwise, you can go to ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/ and download the installer of your choice and deploy it on all the computers in your business, how you want.

    Hope that's enough.
