2503 Error Message

[rctjcmo]

Hi everyone. I am getting an error code when I try to update Adobe. The error message is "2503 called runscript when not marked in progress." I have an HP G60 laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I cannot download anything and I assume that it is because of this error message. I hope someone can help. Thank you.

Hi rctjcmo

See if the link below could be some of help

Thank you for your reply. I tried everything on the Adobe website but nothing helped. Other websites seem to think that it is a Windows Installer problem. Any other thoughts on how to proceed?

See if the Windows Installer service is running

Press on the Windows rb: key and the letter R key on your keyboard . On the Run window type services.msc click on the OK button . Inside the Services window locate Windows installer and see if its Started .

Thanks for the reply. I followed your directions. The Installer was set to "Manual, stopped." I set it to "Manual started." However I still received the same error message when Adobe tried to update.
