I purchased RH9 on Tuesday and the installation immediately failed, with the following errors/warnings (at the bottom of this comment). I hooked up with tech support, and the gal took over my computer for two hours, attempting all sorts of fixes and magic. Every single effort failed with the exact same errors/warnings. I lost the connection with her because a reboot took longer than the ten-minute time limit and never heard back from her. Despite an open case (#0181993020) and my updating it through the week, I have not heard back from tech support.
Here is what I’ve tried:
Here’s the kicker: no matter the environment or what I tried, the errors/warnings are exactly the same and there is no error event in the Event Viewer.
I’m running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit on an i7-965 system with 12GB of RAM and approximately 3TB free disk space and Nvidia GTX280 cards. All drivers are current. No other Adobe app has issues (Adobe Master Collection CS5 is installed, as is RH8 and Captivate 4). Everything is installed and run off this one machine.
It is, of course, driving me nuts…<G>
Any advice or off-the-wall suggestions would be most welcome, especially from any Windows 7 64bit users. Here are the errors/warnings:

Hi,
I am facing exactly the same errors and warnings on the Windows XP Pro 32-bit. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

I have escalated this elsewhere within Adobe. Contact will be made with Flaven to resolve the matter and once that is done, the resolution will be made available.

Thanks, Peter -- I've just been initially contacted by a Tier 2 support tech. I'll make sure to update this thread as this progresses.

OK - fixed, but not really sure how. After several more frustrating hours of no change on my workstation (I was able to install on my 32bit Windows 7 laptop, without a hitch), the tech suggested I try downloading from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en_us&product=robohelp and try to install. Previous install downloads had been directly from My Account/Adobe Store.
I first installed as 'demo" software, without upgrade serial number, and it went through without a hitch. I then reinstalled with upgrade serial number and account information, and it installed without a hitch. I don't know if the sequence is important, but I'll let someone else figure that out...<G>
It appears that the Adobe Store upgrade software is either corrupt or maybe dies when attempting to valideate upgrade status on certain configurations. Specifically installing a demo version sidesteps that obligation for upgrade check and the install goes on merrily about its business. The tech is going to let Adobe know there may be an issue with the upgrade download version, so hopefully that issue will go away. In the meantime, if anyone is having install failures on RH9, give the link above a try and let us know if it works.
Thank you!

Does this fix it for you?

Thnak you Peter. When I try the URL, I am taken to the Adobe Store and I must login before I can download anything. This is what I did earlier. So for me, this solution is not working.

That link requires you to log in but it does not go the Adobe Store. This is what you should see.
Please confirm you are getting exactly the same error, not just an error.

Peter,
I don’t speak English very well, but I am reading the problem which they are raising in this forum in relation to the installation of RoboHelp 9, I downloaded a test version and I have not been able to install it to review it and later to buy the license. I have one laptop with Windows 7 64 bits, I only have installed abobe reader 9.4.1. Spanish and adobe flash player 10 activex, the antivirus that I have installed is NOD 32.
The error that sends the installation to me is the following one, I hope you can help to me in like solving the problem:

Hi Flaven
I would like to inform you that I have been able to download and install the same software from your ESD account. There is no issue with the ESD provided to you as I used the same environment.
There could be following reason:
1. Something went wrong while installing the upgrade first time. It could be possible that some files got corrupted.
2. So when we were trying second time the upgrade version was not able to work with the existing version to upgrade it successfully.
So keep that ESD for future use.
Regards

Thanks for the feedback, Robo_Cap -- I also got the same from the tier 2 support tech. Here's another possibility: I had downloaded the ESD multiple times and attempted the install multiple times times multiple ESD downloads (probably well over 20), with no change at all in exit code, errors, or warnings.
The first time I downloaded the demo version, it installed without a hiccup.
Seems there might be an upgrade validation error check issue going on...

Can you please share installation logs generated at [CommanFileFolder]\Adobe\Installer folder with the name Adobe RoboHelp 9(time stamp).gz, then only we will be able to nail down the issue.

Hi Petere,
That is right. I am getting the same error and yes, I don't get anything unless I login.I wish I could try the new release.

Amit -- go to the link I provided above, login, and download the software and attempt to install. That is not the Adobe Store version. Let us know how it works out.

According to Amit's response, it is not the store he has gone to. You have to log in for the trial wherever you get it.
AMIT
You don't seem to have picked up on the request for your log file. Anuj works for Adobe and will be able to look into the problem. You can zip the file and send it via me.
See my site for contact details.

Peter, thanks--I understand that. It is not clear from Amit's two responses, however, that he actually downloaded the demo version. I was hoping to have him address that specifically, but it's probably best at this point to let Anuj handle it.

Flaven - I see that now, it was someone else who confirmed getting the trial version. If either of them send me their logs, I'll send them on.

Hello Folks
Please ensure that while using Upgrade of RH 9, the machine should have the compatible previous version of the same product. If you are installing Upgarde version of any product, it will ask for the earlier version at the time of installing first time .
If you get the error and you uninstall the upgrade then second time it may not look for the preivous version, eventually it will not prompt for the previous version product. However you may still face the same error message.
But this will not be the case if you are using Trial version with the Upgarde License no. Best possible option could be testing the same product on some other machine to verify the product rather then trying on the same. Ensure that the size of the product you download on your local machine should be same as in the ESD.
Please do not perform any advance steps at your own. You can logg a ticket with adobe and attach installation logs there for further assistance.
Regards

I'm not sure at all what you're saying, but do take issue with your "do not perform advanced steps at your own" -- that's pretty much what the forums are about. Not to overlook the fact that many current RH users (me included) are old hands from BlueSky days and advanced steps are, consequently, child's play...<G>

Peter,

I believe the point that Robo Cap is making is that when you install using an upgrade licence, the version you are upgrading from must be installed on the PC at that time. That has not been my experience in the past. What has happened is that during the install on a clean machine, if you enter an upgrade version serial number, you will simply be asked for the earlier version serial number.
I will get that clarified as the activation process has changed and it is possible this routine has changed.
At the same time I will submit Marielos Velazquez' log file.
