Can't reinstall Acrobat Reader

[hansg32889409]

I had to remove my acrobat reader dc for win 8 because of a trouble with some missing file. Tried to reinstall it but i couldn't do it because there's a message from the installer wizard that says there is a newer version already installed in my laptop. Tried some tools such as trace removers but it didn't work.
