Hi Hmcgee,

As mentioned above, that its keep giving the initialization error. That generally occurs because of the internet security software installed.

If you have any security software installed, then try after disabling it.

(Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install or activate other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done)

You may also refer to the help document to troubleshoot this problem- Troubleshoot Acrobat Reader download

Let us know if it still doesn't help.

What version of Reader are you trying to install? What's your OS?
