Why Can't Programer Stop Repeated Failures.

I'm running adobe XP professional and I have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed
all the sudden it wants to install again it and no matter how many
times the install fails or I cancel the install. It does it again.
Why can't the installation program disable it self the installation
fails or windows could have a counter and after ten failures the
installation is shut down until something changes. Then it asks.

There you are set up can ask do you want to install, stop installing
now, or do you wish to delete the installation permanently. .

Have you tried uninstalling through Add/ Remove Programs?

If you only use Adobe to read documents you might find
Foxit Reader (freeware) a more satisfactory programme:

Hope this helps.

GIVE ME A BREAK NO ONE AT ADOBE HAS EVER EVER RESPONDED TO ANY OF MY
REQUESTS EVER AND THOSE BASTARDS NEVER WILL

Yes I know I'm shouting. To bad the people over at Adobe are deaf as
well as dumb

Have you tried Foxitsoftware ?

Have you tried Foxitsoftware ?

I've got a virus or Trojan its agent.exe.

Adawre said they'd get rid of it and I paid for their program but it
didn't work. So if anyone knows how to get rid of it let me know.

Adobe Acrobat 7 kept being installed even though I had a fully
functional program so the installation kept failing but it tried again
and again. So after weeks I uninstalled the windows installation
program. Things got worse because windows kept trying to install and
when it failed it tried again and again tying up the computer.

So I went into task manager and looked at processes and it turned out
agent.exe was tying up the computer and its activity mirrored the
attempts at installation. I googled agent.exe and saw it was something
identified as a Trojan or virus. There are good program that use the
name agent.exe so just having agent.exe running doesn't mean you have
a problem.

Ad ware said they could get rid of agent.exe if I paid for their
software. I paid and downloaded the program but nothing changed. I
want to Norton expecting to use their paid chat. I couldn't use it
because I uninstalled installed (no pun intended) So I downloaded and
reinstalled install. Right away adobe and windvd started to be
installed. I rebooted after I rebooted the first thing windows did was
try to install windvd. I went into task manager and closed the
install program and then I went into process and closed agent.exe.
After that the problem stopped.
