  1. I am trying to reinstall but...it keeps stopping me at this step. i tried to uninstall and cannot. evidently i deleted some part of it.
  2. This is where installation stops: To proceed, open your download folder and locate the Adobe Reader Installer file, named like “readerdc[xxx]_install.exe”.

[Edited to make it big enough to read... Mod]
