Creative cloud shows Acrobat DC installed but it is not

I have a valid subscription and downloaded application to my computer.  Creative Cloud shows that Acrobat DC is installed but it is not.  Uninstall function in Creative Cloud runs to 1% then stops.  Uninstalling and reinstalling app does not solve the problem.

Install update and subscribe to Acrobat

Thanks but this did not work.  Deleted OPM.db file, restarted desktop app and Acrobat still shows as installed and up to date.  Uninstalling runs to about 1% then stops.

First step you recommend does not work, uninstaller runs to 1% then stops, screen shows Acrobat installed and up to date.

Tried to go to next step, and get this message, even though there is no installation that I can see and no other app was installed.

I had this exact issue and found a way around it - try installing Acrobat DC from this link https://get2.adobe.com/reader/.

 

You can also reach this link by going to Adobe Help Center -> 

go to very bottom of page, under support, click download and install ->

go to Free Tools section near bottom of page, find "Download Acrobat Reader DC"

 

For some reason I was able to install it here but not through creative cloud. Creative cloud also doesnt seem to recognize it (can't open it through cc).
