Restore Installation results in Error 0xc0000142

[Michael35544520nf80]

After a little while in restoring the Installation, it gives me an error from 
SingleClientServicesUpdater.exe
Im running the newest version (2023.008.20555) on windows server 2022 Standard

How do i fix this?

This looks like the OS is catching an error during the installation.

Try the following:

1. Uninstall Acrobat.
2. Run AcroCleaner. AcroCleaner — Acrobat Desktop Tools and Utilities 
3. Download a new copy of Acrobat. Download Acrobat installer for Enterprise term or VIP license 
4. Install.

I tried it, and it sadly doesnt work.
Would there be any other possible fixes?
I also tried resetting the preferences, by deleting them in file explorer
Along with some other generic fixes

Thank you for your help

AcroCleaner removes all remaining traces of an Acrobat installation so that the installer sees a fresh installation. Step 3 is important too! Did you do that too?

Yes, ill try it with an restart this evening, since the server is currently being used. Ill update this thread after

As of right now installing itself after running Acrocleaner (without a reboot)
Already gives the error 0xc0000142

Even worse, after installing Adobe again the process instantly closes after running it

I followed all the steps now, and the problem still persists, would there be any other ways to fix this?

Was the server 2022 upgraded in-place from 2019/2016?

Check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options
for "rdrcef.exe" or "acrocef.exe" keys, and try renaming those keys if they exist (to disable IFEO for the CEF processes).

This is what i did and it worked
