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?
Here's the Player downloads, including updates for reader 9: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=windows&product=10
but you might want to just uninstall reader 9 and download and install the latest version of the player.

If the step above does not resolve the issue, I would say that you install the Windows install cleanup, then run the cleanup utility from the start menu and then remove the entries for the software, and then restart the computer for the changes to take effect and now try to reinstall the software and check.Description of the Windows Installer Cleanup utility

I got this error for a few months. Initially, I came across it trying to update Java, Adobe Reader and now RIM Blackberry Desktop Manager.
The specific error is "Error 1606 could access the network location:.", with the colon and the dot at the end. Therefore, it is difficult to know exactly what registry entry, it's.
I tried to change various registry keys and using a number of files of Microsoft "Fix it for me", but the error remains.
Can someone help me please identify the location of the network that weird symbols ":." to refer and possible to put an end to this problem once and for all?
I'd be happy to re - try fix if proposed as a possible solution.Thanks in advance.

Allow a standard user to install software designated as updates of Adobe reader with group policy
Hello
I have the users configured as standard users to prevent them from installing unapproved software.
This causes problems with products such as java and adobe reader running automatic updates. We then get cranky users because they are prompted to install the update and approval from the administrator.
Is it possible with group policy to allow pre-approved software to install as update of adobe reader?
Thank you

where to enter the license key for update my adobe reader software?
Adobe Reader is free and requires no key. If you are prompted for one, you probably installed the trial version of Adobe Acrobat instead of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
