So I got an automated update and tried to install it. W7 privledges denied the update. Fiddled around. Couldnt get it to work. Uninstalled all Adobe programs. DLed a fresh 9.3.3. Tried to install. Install failed due to privleges.
Product: Adobe Reader 9.3.3 -- Error 1303.The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator.
Also tried to change ownership
TAKEOWN /F "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX" /R /D
Y && ICACLS "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX" /grant
administrators:F SYSTEM:F /t
and got ERROR: Access Denied
Also tried something from this forum
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html
no joy.
BTW, all of this is being done as administrator or in a cmd prompt run as administrator.
HELP!
Ensure that you run this command explicitely on a command prompt window, which is opened by right clicking and selecting "Run as administrator"
And more over, I can see the two different ActiveX path are provided in the command.
Could you try with this,
TAKEOWN /F "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX" /R /D Y && ICACLS "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX" /grantadministrators:F SYSTEM:F /t
