Installing Adobe Acrobat 8 on Windows Vista RTM
If you get the following error when attempting to install Adobe Acrobat 8 on Windows Vista, I have figured out a way around the problem.
The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or is inaccessible.
- Run AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe
- When prompted to run the installer, open Windows Explorer
- Browse to C:\Users\YOUR_LOGIN_HERE\AppData\LocalLow\Netopsystems
- Copy the Adobe Reader 8.0 folder to another location and cancel the installation
- Double-click on AcroRead.msi, not Setup.exe, to run the installer without errors
Hope this helps.
Update: According to several of the comments, you can also install it by running the .exe in Windows XP compatibility mode. I haven't tried this myself, since I already have it installed, but it might save you a few steps if it works.
