Acrobat 8 installation woes

I've been having problems viewing some pdf files from within Mozilla
Firefox and thought Acrobat reader v 8 which is allegedly Vista
compatable might cure the problem.

When I first ran the exe, it showed me where it was going to install the
temp files -- something.something.something.temp directory -- but then
presented an error message that said the directory was full therefore
installation couldn't be completed. I used a combination of manual
deletion and disk manager to clean up the folder and reran the exe. This
time it went almost immediately to the error message without showing me
where it was trying to store temp files. Next time, I ran the exe as
system administrator and go the same results.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

I couldn't install version 8 either, so I went for version 7 instead.
Works like a charm
Really no need for the latest until they've fixed the issues with Vista.

Their installer is all screwed up but once you get it installed it runs
great

See this blog for how to install. Basically you just need to run the
installer let it fail and then locate the setup file their installer fails
to call which is located under
"%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Netopsystems\temp\".

Good luck

Turn UAC back on and install again.

Got to say I downloaded and installed this with no problems at all!
Vista Business Edition

With the UAC turned off, I had to run the install under XP:SP2
compatitbility mode, that got around the temp folder not enough space issue.
Or if you turn the UAC back on, it works fine. If this what it means for
progrrams to be Vista compliant, then I guess that's microsoft's way of
trying to force feed the UAC.

Hi, I was having the exact same problem and found on these pages somewhere
that the reason was that I had turned off the User Account Control. Once I
had turned it back on the program installed with no problems.

I don’t know if this applies to you but I hope it helps

Easiest thing as someone has already said is to use the comaptability too.
Right click the Acrobat exe. file, click Properties and then Compatability.
Then click to run it under Windows XP compatability mode. It'll install
fine.
