Acrobat 6.01 update ??

[werner_cyrmon@adobeforums.com]

Hi
after reading the "update avail." post I downloaded the upgrade.
During install the original cd is necessary - I put my original cd in the cdrom (crative suite cd) and get the message: this version cannot updated ...
Whats wrong???

You are putting in the SECOND CS installation CD?

Are you running 6.0.1 already?

What is the exact error message?

[werner_cyrmon@adobeforums.com]

Yes the second cd,
no I have 6.0 (from 19.5.2003)
error message see here: <http://edvowww.htlwrn.ac.at/cy/Images/error.jpg>

Go to <http://www.adobe.com/support/products/acrobat.html> - that is Adobe's knowledgebase for Acrobat. Type in "acropro.msi" (without quotes) as your search. I think the third doc will have your answer.

[werner_cyrmon@adobeforums.com]

Nope
tried everything (reinstall, different cd roms, copied acropro.msi to hd, removal of the cd drivers ..) ...
the error comes after I point the update to the location of acropro.msi

Have you tried removing Acrobat 6 and reinstalling it (and the update) from the desktop, in VGA mode for good measure?

[werner_cyrmon@adobeforums.com]

Yes have done it (maybe without a reboot after deinstalling 6.0)
Try it again
VGA ?? A little bit to much work for an update, shouldnt this be easier

Well, yes, but I was going along the "Leave no stone unturned..." line

[werner_cyrmon@adobeforums.com]

OK, now we have the mess :-(
After deinstalling 6.0 and rebooting, the new installation of 6.0 (from cd 2 of my cs) dont accept my password (I have double checked that I made no typo)
So whats wrong now`??

You are trying to install Acrobat directly, from a CS CDROM, with the
CS serial number? That won't work. You have to run the CS installer.

OK,
will try that

Now it worked :-)
After reinstalling with the cs installer, the upgrade worked fine (even found the acropro.msi automagically)
thanks for all the tips
