asmodai Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Weird, was updating Acrobat whilst utorrent is running and the installer wants me to close uTorrent in order to continue the installation. :|Pressing ignore helps though, but I seriously wonder why it would want it closed.

Ultima Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Does it do this for any other application? Maybe Acrobat is dependent on or modifies a file that µTorrent has loaded, so it wants any applicaitons using that file to exit in case of a corrupt or bad install?

1c3d0g Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Acrobat does that crap with every program that's running, even Firefox etc. Had the same problem until I switched to Foxit Reader, the only program worthy of carrying the title "PDFReader". :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I'm using Foxit also, and haven't turned back to Azureus ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmodai Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Ultima: only did it for uTorrent. Ignoring it lets it continue its update, just found it weird.1c3d0g: I thought I was running Firefox at the same time though. But could easily have closed it before updating. I still need to give Foxit a try, but I am using the normal Acrobat for work as well, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchDude Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 You should safely ingore the acrobat warning in this case.Many installers like you to close all running apps just to be sure that files they want/need to overwrite are not locked (as in in-use) and therefore complain if any program is found running. If they would program the installer correctly the installer would try to copy all files it wanted too, and if 1 failed to copy it will, in most cases of newer installers, allow you to copy the file at reboot (Invented just to circumvent these problems) These days with all those running apps in the background (look for e.g. at your systemtray or in the processes-list) it is very likely that some files will allways be copied after reboot.
