I am trying to install Reader 8. I have Windows XP SP2 and in the midst of the install it stops and gives me error 1714. It cannot uninstall AC76BA86-7AD7-EF45-47A7-7E8A45A00001. I am using the Adobe download site. It seems to me the solutions you have posted have no value.

I remove all Adobe Acrobat Reader versions. I restart the computer. I run install and receive error 1714.

I remove the the downloaded installer package and restart my machine. I re-download. I run install and receive error 1714.

I run msicuu2.exe. I restart the machine. I run install. Error 1714.

I remove all Adaobe programs. I remove the installer package. I restart the machine. I re-downloand. I run install. Error 1714.

I go into regsitry and remove all references to Acrobat. I remove the installer package. I restart the machine. I re-download. I run install. Error 1714.

I go into registry and remove AC76BA86-7AD7-EF45-47A7-7E8A45A00001. I remove the installer package. I restart the machine. I check registry for the presence of AC76BA86... It is not present. I re-download the installer package. I run install. Error 1714. Adobe sees a ghost (AC76BA86...) and it can't uninstall it.

At this point I have no Adobe reader on my machine. I figure let's start from scratch and work my way up. I go back to Adobe and install 6.0 and then all of the 6.0 upgrades. When I get to Reader 7, error 1714 reappears.

I would really like to hear about a solution that works. Adobe will not let me install any Reader beyond 6.06.
