@josee23294466 Are you installing from Adobe's website and not a third party website. If you install Creative Cloud Desktop app or go to adobe.com download it through the adobe. Why? Security, reliability, and access to legitimate software and support!

Hello @josee23294466!

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. We're sorry for the trouble you had with the installation of Acrobat.

The error code 1603 during installation of Adobe Acrobat Pro typically indicates a general installation failure, often due to system-level conflicts, permissions issues, or remnants from previous installations. Please restart the machine, and use the Acrobat Cleaner tool to remove the installed app, and restart the machine again. Download the setup of Adobe Acrobat Pro, right-click on the setup, and run it as an Administrator.

You may also try the suggestions from the following Adobe article: https://adobe.ly/4jRzNQQ

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
