    Vista – Adobe Reader installer error

    Locked

    by kennethpletz ·

    While attempting to upgrade adobe acrobat reader from version 7 to 8, it seems to be installing ok, then all of a sudden I get a message that says the Temp folder is on a drive that is full or is inaccessible. Free up space on the drive or verify that you have write permission on the Temp folder. Well, I am using an administrator account and have turned off User account control. I am using Vista ultimate and of course have tons of free gigs of space.

      Workaround: Vista – Adobe Reader installer error

      I have had the same problem, and have tried an old workaround that appears to have solved the problem for me.

      1. Run the main EXE which will unpack the setup to [C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Netopsystems\temp\Adobe Reader 8.0\]
      2. When you get the error message, copy this directory to the root of C:
      3. Run setup.exe from your copied C:\Adobe Reader 8.0\

        I had a same problem but I discover solution.
        And this is simple solution “Turn on User Access Control” or UAC !
        And you will get question from Vista UAC if Adobe program have permission to start “Setup.exe” located in temp directory, simple click “Allow” and Adobe Reader is installed.

        So my suggestion to all Vista users DO NOT turn OFF UAC ! Then you will not have any problems like this.

        Regards to all

          SPAM BOTS crawl this web site all the time, looking for email addresses to send SPAM to. Or worse, they sell your email address and the buyers turn around and send email using your return address (spoof).

          So, edit your post and remove your email address.
