HELP! Side by side configuration is incorrect

[Jasraj31698642bzf6]

As you can see, I get this prompt whenever I try to open any PDF. I have never seen it and am completely clueless about what to do. I am not a very technologically sound person and that's why I am very confused. Can someone please help me?

Hi @Jasraj31698642bzf6 

This error used to report in the earlier version of Acrobat. Mainly the perpetual licenses.

What is the Acrobat version and OS you are working on?

It's a run time error, mainly caused because of missing Microsoft Visual C++ or corrupted Visual C++ libraries.

If you are working with the latest Acrobat Pro (version 2023), then try this:

Run this cleaner tool to remove the existing installer and application’s file traces:
