Adobe Installer VS. IE
A little while back I got called out to one of our branch sites on an issue concerning Adobe Flash. Every time the installer tried to run it would kick IE 8 back to compatibility view and then pop up with a memory exception error. I tried just about all the fixes I found online, from registry edits to patches. In the end it was a very simple fix. under the advanced tab in internet settings there is an option to “turn off memory protection”. A quick restart of IE and no more Adobe installer problems! Figured I would post this here as I had to sift through pages of Google results before I found something describing this fix. Hopefully you find this post quicker and it helps out a bit!

interesting. I had a similar issue with installing some Netgear VPN software through the browser. I ended up completely turning off Data Execution Protection, but I’m thinking this would have been an easier fix. Thanks!
