How do I delete a virtual drive letter that prevents installation of Adobe Reader 10?

‎06-09-2012 09:46 AM

I have a HP 2000 Notebook, SN 5CB20735FN, product # AA7A75UA#ABA using Win 7 Home Premium.  I tried to update Adobe Reader, and the installation stopped with Error code 1357, invalid drive G:\.  I used regedit to search for all references to G:\.  I found four entries and deleted them.  I re-ran the installation again, and received the same error code.  I rechecked my registry for other references to G:\, but I found none.  I tried again to install Adobe Reader 10, and it aborted again with the same error.  I also used Computer Management, but I did not find G:\.  

 

What do you suggest?

I found this Adobe support article, it has a link to a Microsoft Fixit tool you might try.

I prefer Foxit reader Myself, Adobe reader is so bloated and is an attack vector for malware and viruses.
