Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Update = Fail

I'm running Vista Ultimate & tried upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1.2 and got the
following message:

"Installation could not continue because the downloaded file cannot be moved
to a secure folder location
(C:\Users\Harville's\AppData\Local\Adobe\Updater5\ Install\reader8rdr-en_US\AdbeRdr812_en_US.msi)
prior to validation and installation. Please make sure the secure folder
location has enough free disk space and has sufficient access rights for
administrator."

Does anyone know the fix or does Adobe need to comply!

uninstall adobe acrobat, and go to www.adobe.com and download-install it
fresh..

version 8.0 had vista compatibility problems that were fixed later on

Try running the install file as administrator. (right click on the install
file and select "Run as administrator")

Hi,

Do yourself a favor, uninstall Adobe Reader, download and install Foxit
Reader instead.
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/

It's a nice program, much smaller and far less intrusive on your system.

Debbie,

Sure it is, you didn't read enough or perhaps missed it.

the best way is to have both, Foxit cannot render all languages correctly..
and it is in fact slower on some very complex PDF files...

also adobe gives windows explorer thumbnail previews along with the "preview
handler" right sidebar on Windows explorer

It also integrates with Outlook for previews... Adobe reader can also read
with text to speech.

I have both, Adobe is the default for all the functions above, but when Im
in a hurry I right click> and open with foxit

Foxit is indeed smaller, but its not as feature rich....

the best is to have the best of both worlds.. like I do it.
