• Adobe Reader Problems With Windows 7

If not, you do not want to delete something that is fundamental to what you paid for. Unfortunately I do not have a better answer for your question, other than I would at least back it up.It came with CS4 Web Premium - it's not a download.Normally.cab files are deleted - they serve no purpose after the install is complete. The reason why I'm asking is:1. The installation script is what normally deletes the.cab file so I would have expected the Adobe installation script to delete it, but it didn't, even though there were no problems during the install. So maybe Adobe had some reason to keep in around?2.

Other people have asked the same question on here on forums.adobe.com and gotten vague answers, like maybe Adobe needs it for some future uninstall later, or 'make a backup copy and try it'. So I'm trying to get a definitive answer. It's huge - over a half gig - so it would be good to delete it. May I ask how could I make my answer more 'definitive'?Should I provide technical details on what SOURCELIST or SourceDir properties are in Windows Installer Service and how they get registered?Well, what I meant by 'definitive' when I referred to other places on the Adobe forums, was that people in those threads seemed to be speculating that this might be the reason Adobe keeps a 674 MB file like that just hanging around. In those same threads people suggested a variety of possible reasons so I couldn't tell if people were just taking their best guess. Some people thought it might be needed for uninstall, for instance.Also, if repair IS the purpose of the file then why don't I find similar files for all the other apps that got installed with CS4 - Photoshop, for example, or Dreamweaver or the Flash development software? Is Acrobat uniquely subject to corruption, compared to their other software?But anyway, since I have have my original install DVD, if Data1.cab is just there for repair, and it doesn't need it for any normal operation or uninstall, it sounds like I can blow it away with no worries, right?

Your point is exactly what I meant by definitive also. I was offering a guess and a way to try to identify the need.

To get a straight (or definitive) answer, you would probably have to get it from the Adobe programmers. However, I can't see them giving you a straight answer, or should I say being able to actually ask the programmers - you will always be talking to the support folks that have a script in front of them and that would likely not be on the script. As long as you have the CAB file available, I would go ahead and remove it if you are having memory issues on the drive.

There's only one self-extracting file you need to download. Make sure your dl is complete.Downloadable installation files available:. Suites and Programs: ,. Acrobat:. Premiere Elements:.

Photoshop Elements:. Lightroom:.

Captivate:. Contribute: Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages.

They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'. While I appreciate everyone's help I'd rather speak to someone directly at Adobe but that seems impossible!

Any ideas how I can contact an Adobe staff member?Anyway, I'm clicking on the exe file, it opens an extraction wizard, I start the extraction and mostly it gets to 100 percent and tells me that a problem occurred in the extracting the archive and to try again. So after a number of attempts, it works. I then go through the installation process and at this point I get the message about data1.cab not being valid.
