I get the message that this file is "not designed to run on windows or contains an error."

The message suggested I reinstall Acrobat Pro XI. I did and I still get this message. I've updated the program and I still get this message. It started yesterday. Up until then I'd been using the program for 2 years with no problems.

I tried this. It didn't work. In addition, during the install I tried to make Acrobat the default pdf reader but got a Windows error message that switched the default pdf to Edge.

i don't know anything else you can do other than a clean os install and reinstall of your programs.
