Question

Error 1305 . Error Reading From File /Adobe Acrobat XI / Data/A1.Cab.

This is a continuation of my problem in loading Acrobat 11 onto my machine with Windows XP  Professional x64 Edition Version 2003 Service Pack 2.

I have added the requested additiional upgrade, but now can only get to this error message.

Error 1305 . Error Reading From File /Adobe Acrobat XI / Data/A1.Cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

I searcched the disc and could not find a file by that name on the CD, but I am assuming the search is inconclusive and that it is on the CD.

I removed AntiVir , as it is very aggressive. I still have Malware, which always stays unopened until requested, and Spybot, which does the same.

The machine is not onine. I use it for my writing and photo work offline.

Help would be appreciated in finally getting this product, which I recently purchased NIB.

copy the disk files to a desktop directory and install from that desktop directory.

if that fails, Error 1305 when you try to install an Adobe product | Windows

Hi -

I assume you are talking about "dragging it" to the desktop in the format and folder type it is - directly from the CD?

The machine is not on line. It is my writing machine, protected from the world.

correct

you can still install acrobat.

however, you won't be able to activate acrobat xi from a non-connected computer unless adobe support has some way to do that.

after installtaion, contact adobe support during pst business hours by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
