Hi GG-fix,

Could you please try the following steps and see if that resolve the issue:

1- Uninstall Reader using Cleaner tool from here: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

2- Restart the computer

3- Download and install Reader DC from here: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution  (select your Operating System, language , and version accordingly)

Thank You,

Shivam

Hello Shivam,

Please note: The issue is that, because of the error, Acrobat Reader doesn't install which is why I originally posted. There is nothing to uninstall.

I very seldom ever post looking for answers as I've been providing technical support for over 30 years.

Thanks for the effort.
