Acrobat DC installation on a trial basis was a disaster

My husband and I spent several hours attempting to install Acrobat DC. In the process the Creative Cloud got installed ok. Then, many attempts followed to get the Acrobat DC installed on the Desktop. Tried every solution advocated in the problem resolution help pages (uninstalling and installing, software purging and restarting etc.,). Gave up after many hours. I will cancel the Trial in a couple of days.   Lorraine
