I am trying to download Adobe Reader 9 but get error message AcroRead.msi cannot be found.

05 Apr

I tried entering AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe-nos_ne but got the error message that this was not a valid installation package for the product Adobe Reader 8.1.2. I tried uninstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 but was once again stopped at the missing AcrRead.msi.

    Earlier Adobe Readers have been “Corrupted”
    Try This—-
    1. Open Browser (I use Google)
    2. Type in “WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEANUP UTILITY”
    3. When results appear look for “support,microsoft.com DESCRIPTION OF WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEANUP UTILITY”——CLICK
    4. When page opens, SCROLL down to “Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility Cleanup”—–CLICK
    5. When “File download-Security Warning” box appears—–CLICK “RUN”
    6. After download completes,–Open “PROGRAMS” on your computer
    and look for “WINDOWS INSTALL CLEANUP”—CLICK to open
    7. When box opens, look for 8.1.1 or any “Adobe Reader” (I don’t know which version you have installed)—–CLICK to “HIGHLIGHT”
    CAUTION—–DO NOT HIGHLIGHT ANY OTHER PROGRAM—CAUTION
    8. At bottom of BOX —-CLICK “REMOVE”
    9. Go back to “CONTROL PANEL”-”ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS”—Adobe Reader should have been removed
    10. Now download “ADOBE READER 8.1.2″ From Adobe
    THIS IS NOT USING “BRUTE FORCE” or “HEAVY HANDED” Methods

    The first person to answer told you how to get a corrupted Adobe Reader off your computer. Follow his instructions to remove it, then restart the computer. You must always do a restart once you have taken these steps.

    Then follow the instructions of the second person to answer. The difference between Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader is something like 300 MG. Foxit is 3.69. I got rid of Adobe years ago and use Foxit for all PDF needs.
