    adobe reader 8 in Vista Ultimate 64

    When attempting to install Adobe Reader 8 in Vista I recieve " The Temp
    folder is on a drive that full or inaccessible. Free up space on the drive or
    verify you have write permission on the temp folder"



    Have been thru all the security settings -and there's a lot- and cannot
    figure this out. Also have lots of drive space.

    We had this same issue, to resolve we copoed the setup files which are
    extracted prior to the erro to another location and run the setup from
    there.

    To do this

    1) Show hidden files
    Control Panel / Folder options / View and check "Show hidden files and
    folders"

    2) Run the install until the error and DO NOT click OK to the error

    3) Click Start and click on your usename on the top right of the menu (To
    open Your Files locaion)

    4) Navigate to appdata\locallow\netopsystems\temp

    5) Copy the folder "Adobe Reader 8.0" to another location i.e your desktop.

    6) Click OK on the instllation erorr you got in step 2

    7) Run the installaion from the extracted files whic you have just copied in
    step 5

    This can happen if you have disabled UAC, re-enable UAC both for safety's
    sake and to get Adobe installed.

    Herr Harper, You are correct Sir! Turning UAC back on solved the issue.
