I have been running Acrobat X under Win 10 64 bit. Recently it has become unstable and I deleted and am trying to reinstall. After 4 attempts finally installed from CD with error message to download Application Manager. App Mgr consistently fails to initialize. Error message refers me to Support Advisor - which has been discontinued.  Can't find any help on Adobe Support Section.  Have d/l and installed Acrobat X from Adobe with same result.  Any help on getting App Mgr to run will be GREATLY appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi petergph,

Acrobat X is not compatible with Windows 10 Adobe Acrobat system requirements. So it may or mat not work.

Lets give it a try, run this cleaner tool to uninstall previous installer Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs, restart your system & install Acrobat X using this link Download Adobe Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Aadesh

Thank you for your reply Aadesh.  I've done the above but have the same problem with the Application Manager failing to install.  I don't know if will work but I'll uninstall Acrobat, run the Cleaner Tool and see if I can install Application Manager and then Acrobat.

Re Acrobat X and Win 10:  Until this recent problem I've run Acro X and Win 10 without any problems on my desktop, and continue to do so on my laptop.

Thx again

Don't worry about the application manager, just download AA X (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) and install it directly.
