Downloading Acrobat XI Standard??

Question

I have Adobe Acrobat XI Standard from a CD installed on a Windows 7 Computer in 2012 and working fine until the most recent update, about 2 weeks ago, would not load. I followed a recommendation to uninstall Acrobat and reload, then update. The CD fully downloads but when trying to open Acrobat, there is a request to install an Application Manager to resolve a problem. This download then requests an Installation Advisor download which is no longer available.

I have tried another route of downloading the Acrobat XI Standard Installer Download Pro or Standard versions of Acrobat DC, 2017, XI, or X and when this is downloaded and is running to open Acrobat XI, it stops half way through the process and never asks for the serial number which it is supposed to do.

I am now stuck without Acrobat at all. How do I recover this?
