In that situation, Foxit correctly does not appear in the add/remove programmes, this process being performed through the application and platform. However, I'm wondering whether your comments apply to the PORTABLE installation which is what I'm having trouble with. Many thanks, Lisa_lee for your advice and fast response. If the issue still persists,please help to send us a screenshot of the error message you received when you click on PDF files and give us the installation path of your Foxit Reader?Did you install it on the USB drive? You may download a new setup file from this link: įinally,please try to give the new installation a try. Go to "Start"->"Run"-> input regedit -> find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Foxit Software\ Foxit Reader 9.0" and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Foxit Software\ Foxit Reader 8.0" to delete the whole folder of Foxit Reader 9.0 Ģ) Download a newest version of Foxit Reader 9.3 from the link below： Could you please kindly perform a fresh re-installation as following and try again?ġ) Please make sure you've closed all Foxit Reader related programs (IE, Firefox.) then go to "Control Panel"->"Add/Remove Programs" to uninstall Foxit Reader Oldsamsquirrel ,Sorry for the problem you encountered with Foxit Reader.
Tried changing file association to another pdf reader (portable app), everything back to normal, but not as good as Foxit.įile associations returned to Foxit, and I'm back to dll error message.ĭid a system file check which advised me that "Scannow windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations".Ĭould some kind person tell me what I am missing, please, (apart from a dll !) I'm slightly IT savvy, but not overly so, and don't want to dabble with the registry. Reinstalled a couple of times, but nothing changed. Problem: Although the Foxit Reader app would open normally, and any pdf could be opened from within the programme, clicking on pdf files in explorer or on desktop shortcuts produced the message that I needed to reinstall FR because I was missing localService.dll. I declined the prompt in case it would do a full OS install, but went back to the Portable Apps main screen where the update was offered, and did it from there.
This week, Foxit Reader suggested updating. I use the portable edition on a USB drive permanently plugged in, because I like the idea of keeping the Windows intallation as "clean" as possible, together with being able to try the odd utility from time to time with no uninstallation problems. It's always been fine for me, and I value the facility to add highlights, comments, and take snapshots. I've been very happy with free Foxit Reader, and recommended it to may others.
