installing adobe reader on vista - problem

I tried to install adobe reader 8.0 onto my notebook but i keep getting this error:

The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or is inaccessible. Free up space on that drive or verify that you have write permission on the Temp folder.


does anyone know what does that mean and what I'm supposed to do in order to solve the problem? thanks a lot i appreciate any help.

 

have enough free disk space? call set up via vista xplorer?
alternative is that foxit reader works better under vista then adobe reader

cheers ...

 

i have plenty of free disk space seeing how i only have one partition and it's got 65G's free...

what is call set up via vista explorer? I use firefox.

I'll look into foxit. Thanks ghn!

 

just installed foxit, nice program, good recommendation. thanks

 

many installations must be called inside vista (windows) explorer - this is a security thing within vista - to set up correctly.

i hope that this is a temp bleep within vista.

glad to hear u enjoy foxitreader (under help, there is a check for update - recommend running it)

cheers ...

 

thanks!

I'll see if it happens with any other programs I install in the future.

toodles,

 

I see you got a solution to your problem. I encountered the same issue, and solved it by using this guide. Maybe somebody else will find it useful.

 

Right clisk and run as administrator or disable UAC in CP

ps. Acrobat reader 8.0 is working fine here

 

I had a similar problem (disk space errors) when trying to download some apps on my roommate's new Vista PC. I changed the download directory and it fixed it. The REALLY weird part is that I changed the download path back for the next file and it was fine. Whatever... it works fine now.

 

Instructions from God how to install adobe on windows vista.

I was having trouble installing adobe on windows vista and after reading and trying endless instructions nothing worked...

Then it hit me....

Jesus said: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." —Matthew 7:7–8

I prayed to the Lord to forgive my sins and to give me wisdom and He answered my prayer.
Glory to the Lord for being so loving, forgiving and giving us what we seek even when we dont deserve it.

I hope that the following instructions will help you with your work as God helped me.

Step 00. Backup your important files and documents because the installation of vista will delete all

Step 01. Install Dell Media Direct CD wich will create a partition for media files ( I have Dell Pc)

Step 02. Install windows vista choosing to create fresh installation. when prompted delete the previows windows partition then create a new one and do not forget: chose the option to format it.

Step 03. Install all necessary drivers, anti-virus, firewall and update your windows.

Step 04. Turn Off UAC ( user account control ) by going on control panel - click user accounts -

Step 05. Restart your PC on safe mode by pressin F8 when it is starting up.

Step 06. Insert your adobe CD and copy all the files in your favorite folder on your Pc

Step 07. Restart your PC normally - open the folder where you saved adobe - right click on setup.exe and chose option "run as administrator". You will now be able to use adobe on vista


Praise the Lord for guiding us when it seems impossible. We struggle because we dont ask and when we ask we doubt. Believe and you will receive the blessings of God. We try to solve things ourselves and we dont ask The Almighty that created everything that has ever been created. God knows it all and He is willing to give us wisdom without finding fault. We just have to come near him by prayer and with repentful heart and He hears us and helps us no matter what.
