Hello!

I'm trying to install an Adobe Acrobat Reader, but installer says, that newer ver is installed already. But there no version at all. Are any ways to force the installation?

    Solved the problem by deleting folders and registry subtrees named Acrobat :-)

    Ok, so a normal uninstall. What do you see in c:\program files (X86)\Adobe ?

    Folder is empty (View -> Show hidden files checked)

    Should I delete the folder?

    Mac or Windows? Have you EVER installed Adobe Reader, Acrobat Reader, or Acrobat on this system? Could someone else have?

    Windows 10.

    Yes, it was installed earlier, but removed through uninstallation process by mistake.
