Failed to retrieve Tickmark definitions error

I've got the same issue but I have no idea how to correct for it.  I recently uninstalled CCH Engagement, which had an add-in to Acrobat that used Tickmark Definitions so this may well have caused the issue because Acrobat may still be looking for that control set.  So how do I get it to stop?  Acrobat automatically shuts down after I click OK on that error, yet I can't do anything else until I click OK.

I started experiencing the same problem. However, mine occurs when i open Adobe from any source or if i open Adobe Acrobat Pro on its own without opening a file.

I noticed my issue start when i modified my registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Multi-string Value: PendingFileRenameOperations

I had to modify this registry value to complete a test installation of another piece of software and ever since then, Adobe has not worked for me. Unfortunately i havent found a soluton yet.

Not sure if this applies to your system in any way, but may help lead you to a solution.

Thank You!
