Acrobat Reader Won't install in Vista

McAlban · 2007-03-04 15:23:52

Acrobat Reader 8 Won't install in Vista, It says I don't have permission to Access the Temp Folder.... Don't get this problem with anything else and I've set all the Permissions to allow in the Folder Properties... Any Suggestions??

Right-click on the installer and "Run As"...?

Just did it myself. It failed when I ran it as me, but worked fine when when I ran as administrator...

Weird, I haven't tried acrobat reader 8, but version 7 installs and works fine!

I got it working when I turned on UAC, which Pisses me off no End! Wouldn't run when I tried "Run as Administrator!"

Alot of setup programs have problems with UAC off because they didn't follow the spec the first time around. If written correctly, setup should work in both cases without bother.
