"Acrobat cannot start the image/object editing application you've specified ... "

I recently uninstalled my Acrobat X Pro accidentally (experiment gone wrong) and after having a lot of trouble re-installing it, I can't get it to talk to the other Creative Suite applications anymore, i.e. Photoshop and Illustrator for PDF editing. This is the dialogue that pops up when I try to Edit Image/Edit Object:

I went to Preferences and checked, and the paths to the applications are correct:

but they still won't launch and the dialogue just reappears. So I'm not sure what to do from there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Apologies for the late response.

    This is a known issue and there is no fix available as of now unfortunately; however, the issue is fixed in the later versions.

    There is still this error. It is very useful feature that must be there. Hopefully it will be fix in feature update. It is 2022 and this issue is updated in 2016. It takes so long to resolve 😞

    Acrobat X will never be fixed, support ended for Acrobat 10 in 2015.
